Apathy (also called impassivity or perfunctoriness) is a state of
indifference, where an individual has an absence of interest or concern to
certain aspects of emotional, social, or physical life.

In other words, a state where you are soo bo liao, when you don't care about anything at all.
I remembered that my form teacher once said , "VS needs more empathy."
And guess what? I totally agree with her.

When people don't care, its very frightening. It can spread like... wildfire. A few bo-chup ppl can influence a whole lot of other ppl 2 be apathetic like them. Its that scary.
Let's have an example, shall we?

In the South-East Rally Campfire, everyone was like... stone-ing. Just sitting there, doing nothing.
I was probably the only guy trying to be enthusiastic. The rest, especially MY SENIORS, were just sitting comfortably on the bench, doing nothing.
Do they think that its a waste of time? Of course, yes.
Do they even care? of course, no.
I think that some people seriously have to 'wake up their idea'....
As you can guess, that was one of my worst campfires EVER.

In 2 years time, when I become a sec 3 'sir', I hope I won't be like that. I want to have the empathy, the passion, the DRIVE.
And hopefully my hoeps will turn into reality...

you must be wondering why I neglected his poor blog for 3 days...
I was away for some sort of scout camp. In fact i don't consider it a camp. It was pure SAIKUNG because we were supposed to have a campfire on 3oth August.
Anyways, so it was abit tiring because we slept at abt 2.00am for those 2 nites. But it was quite worth it, 'cause the campfire was a smashing success!w00t!
And btw, VSBB came for the campfire. Unfortunately, only a few 'seniors' (I suppose), came. I was hoping that ppl like lip, jonas and joel would come. but that was not e case. =(
I was feeling rather boliao so I googled 'victoria school arrow scouts campfire' I'm happy to say that ppl thought that e campfire was good; gr8 to hear that!
