Your mother was lying when she told you
1. that you didn’t need to sweep the roads if you studied hard. There i was welding broom and dustpan sweeping the roads of Pulau Tekong as part of the Honourary Duties programme that we were kindly selected for.
2. that you didn’t need to clean the toilets if you studied hard. There my 4-distinctions bunkmate is being “Toilet Cleaner I/C”. It doesn’t mean that he is in charge of all the Toilet Cleaners. It means he gets punished the worst if the Toilet Cleaners didn’t do a good enough job cleaning the toilet. In other words, he should be called “I/C for getting punished for dirty toilets”.
3. that using your brain to think is good. I have one word. Wrong.
So well, the time has come for us to stop doing Area Cleaning and self-declare such sessions as “Admin Time” or “Sleep on your Bed Without Getting Caught Time”. And oh yes BMT is ending too.
