dare to reach the highest, not in terms of cca points or room level ;)

merely a week ago, i was "soaked with hall love", and just as i thought it was so sweet and perfect, things turned pretty nasty.
08/09 room allocation exercise was carried out this week. it applies to those who attained sufficient points to stay in hall next year, and are generally high enough to choose. apparently, this seems like a simple chore to me. cliques definitely will want to stay together, so we can try to accommodate one another. basically, level isnt much of a problem. i believe differences your neighbours make are much larger than that of a sea view from your room. so albeit knowing broken relationships happened last year due to room allo, i was hoping that we can solve this in a peaceful manner, given the rules and quotas to meet.
somehow. the first night, i was proven wrong. the atmosphere in the lounge was so intense. everybody looked serious except me, who rushed in late, full with smileys and apology, and an incomplete project due the next day. very soon after rules were explained to us, arrows flew, granites and hiden mines exploded, all happened unexpectedly. and i was unknowingly wounded. so disheartened, so upset.
i dont understand why should anyone get pissed in the process. observing all reactions and responses, noting body languages, and speeches, i thought "this is a joke, but im the only one laughing". meeting ended abruptly with everybody looking stern and still. keeping conversations to themselves. truthfully, i tried my best to put my cliques together, without disrupting any other cliques. so after much discussions with the blkcomm, thanks to them, i found a way. but wasnt given much of a chance though.
well thankfully, the next day, there was a reason for me to smile again. i was so touched by the conversation with 2girls. their hearty, sincere, genuine speeches made me felt like crying, really. honestly, with what happened the day before right at the back of my mind, i have never thought this would happen, but it did. im grateful. i dont need apologies, i just need understanding. its never too late to realise. =)
although the meeting that night didnt end with a everybody-happy outcome as well, it was a less tense one. and indeed, the whole process kept me thinking.
im sure we all got to know each other better, in both good and bad ways. but that shouldnt deter one from being others' friend. shouldnt all of us learn to compromise?
there are some things in life that humans have little or no control over. for example, luck, fate, chance, destiny. it takes so much of such for anyone to meet, and relations to form. i see no reason to spoil. occasional disputes happen, but i strongly believe, two human brains are enough to solve.
despite suffering minor injuries, im sure blkc will be "living in harmony, working in unity" (slogen) soon again.
