HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anywaaaaaaaay, today during the election speeches, did everyone realise that all nominees talked about discipline? Actually, all nominees talk about discipline every year la right, hahaha. And some people from the audience, I can't remember who, mentioned about the fining system being not effective. Actually its effectiveness really has died off and maybe like the nominees said, we should reward instead of punish. I think that'll work out well :) But why do we even need punishments or rewards?

The root of the problem here is actually our own behaviours. I think we should all have self-control and be able to discipline ourselves. Like, we shouldn't be only coming on time for cca and putting up our shoes on the shoe rack just to not pay $1, or to please the dm. The dm is in a bad position here because there are always people who are not cooperating and complaining about the fine system. So actually we don't need the fine system if everyone does everything without being forced. Right? Right.

For now, I think the rewarding thing will be gooooot. But don't you all think how it'll be if one day, we don't need a dm to be pushing us to have good discipline, and we don't even need fines, and everybody just has good self-control? Someone will be jobless and the strings fund will be poorer, but our CCA will be much greeeeeeeater :) Yesssss we have lots of fun during string practices, obviously. But don't overdo it okay! :)

Okay I've finally said what I've wanted to say for a longggggg time hahahaha.

See you all tomorrow at the BBQ :) Be there!!!
