i know im a little slow considering i havent been reading the straits times for the past 3 days, but im sure most of us have read the colin goh's letter on rg girls cheering as low as the ri boys for particular reasons known.
now this is a reply in the life mailbox on friday's paper by someone dear to me. mok kor. AHHHH.
i dint even know until roo was telling me last night.


RGS girls should cheer like RI boys? Not true.

I read the personal columns in Life! and LifeStyle. It is good that some columnists take a jibe at society or themselves.
Colin Goh's tone is lighthearted as well as anecdotal which provides a distinctive local flavour, though i do not support the heavy usage of Singlish in his writing.
In his column in LifeStyle on May 8, RGS Girls and their Low Growls, he mentioned that 'a former RGS teacher later told me that the growl was an agreement reached between RGS and RI, so that the Raffles family could cheer with one voice - that voice apparently belonging to Vin Diesel's meaner brother".
I studied in Raffles Instituition and was a prefect for 2.5 years. We were the leaders of the school particularly when it came to cheering for our school, and sister school Raffles Girls' School.
Hence I can confirm that there has never been any agreement between the two schools, be it between students or teachers, that the RGS girls should cheer like the guys.
Actually the RGS girls rarely cheered for the RI teams anyway, unless their boyfriends were in them. [na: im pretty sure its the same for the guys, that they wont cheer the rg teams on unless their girlfriends were in the teams as well. so same sentiments yea, dont just push the blame on the rg girls. ]
They preferred the "boys in blue", our traditional rivals from Anglo Chinese School. [na: to this, i would say to each his own. when i was in rg, i was more fond of "boys in white", but im not referring to RI here. instead i refer to SJI, the school that was just along stevens road further down. mainly due to the reason because the PSB worked with them for 2 years and they did seem much nicer than the idiots we see during ORA. especially the idiotic RI guy who tried to get one of my RCY seniors to massage his leg for him, and then claim that he's alright when our RCY teacher in charge offered to massage his leg in a more professional way. i mean, aint this telling enough?]
Apart from this clarification, i agree with Goh's comments that Singaporean males should play hardball and not cry so much about girls being unapproachable.

[na: i agree too. i have a friend who refuses to date any RG girl because he says that we are too domineering. in actual fact, i would think that the typical Singapore girl is becoming more independent and brimming with confidence. which may then lead to the Singaporean males think that local girls are arrogant and unapproachable. which is not true. also, the typical Singaporean male still has the MCP attitude. they still want girls to rely on them, be their servants and listen to them. be there when the guy needs the girl, but not the other way round. i am pretty sure any current local girl will not be able to stomach those thoughts. however, i dont deny the fact that some local girls [or rather, the SPGs] are still pretty materialistic and that can turn guys off too.]

so, girls lets stop giving the oh-im-so-hard-to-get attitude, and at the same time, guys, put in more work to get these girls. and do what the govt wants young couples to do, procreate.

HAHAHAHAHA.
oops. thats what i become after reading 3 whole days worth of newspapers. and i havent read today's papers yet. muahaha.
