My life is in quite a mess now. This could be attributed to three main sources, namely, my work, projects and my class.

Let me talk about my class here since it is the most tricky problem among all three. Basically, all my classmates can be classified into three cliques. Clique 1 comprises of me, a few guys and girls. Clique 2 is made out of a group of girls while Clique 3 is just 3 males.

So even though we are classmates, the contact among all the cliques are minimal. That is to say Clique 1 seldom talks to Clique 2 and Clique 2 rarely interact with Clique 3 and blah blah blah. Therefore, if there are any differences between the cliques, they are not resolved but instead, buried down in the hearts of those involved.

Thus, the tension between Clique 1 and 2 (Clique 3 is quite neutral in this conflict). There are people in Clique 1 who dislike their counterpart in Clique 2. This again could be attributed to several misunderstandings and differences that had happened previously.

However, recent events have caused the tension to rise and possibly, sparked off a war between both cliques. This is what had happened. On Thursday, Clique 1 (including me) went out to catch a movie at Orchard (Refer back to previous post). Because of the fact that we couldn't make it back in time for the lectures, we decided to give someone from Clique 2 a call, to ask her to help us mark our attendance for the lectures. Here's an extract of the conversation between me and her:

She, laughing: "So what are we going to get in return?" (Referring to the help that they are going to offer)

Me, jokingly replied: "Ehhh, how about I let you top the class for once?"

Then, she was pissed (At least that's what I think). War followed quickly and a heated exchange of words between members of both cliques during night time en-suite. Fortunately, after a series of clearing up efforts made by both sides, the tension subsided a little and things were fine on Friday when we met each other in class. Little did we know that the "real" trouble was just about to start.

On Friday night, somebody mass-sent out an E-mail with a chatlog attached. The content of the chatlog was all about the crticisms Clique 1 has about members of Clique 2. However, please keep in mind that the conversation was made a few days ago before that "phoney" war occurred. Furthermore, the comments made were not a good reflection of what we really felt about them as most of us were joking with each other in the midst of a boring lesson.

I guess everyone in my class has a rough idea who is the one behind it. That person, I feel, has no guts. He/She dared to commit such acts, but lack the courage to own up and take responsibility for his/her own actions. It's an act of immaturity and the only motive behind that act would be because he/she wanted to watch a "show".

DBF/1B/08, please don't tear apart because of this kind of immature people. What we (referring to those in Clique 1) said in that conversation really wasn't a good reflection of what we feel about those in Clique 2. We are sorry about all those stuffs that we said to one another behind Clique 2's back. But please, think about it. If we do tear apart because of this, we are only submitting ourselves to the devil. We are like pawns being manipulated to fulfill his/her sadistic lust for "war shows". Brace ourselves together, go through this as a class, and maybe, who knows, Clique 1 and 2 might just disappear to become Class DBF/1B/08.

Remember, what doesn't kill us only make us stronger. In this case, our class bond is put into a challenge and if we manage to overcome it, our class might just be the most united class in the DBF cohort.
