Hwachong Station
It seems three blogs I follow have had a new post about the proposed (re)naming of the upcoming Duchess Station, and all dafed yesterday, 6 Sep. Same subject within 24 hours of each other? I'm smelling a conspiracy here. D:
So I probably should give my take on this hot new topic (only second to "PAP allows demonstrations at Speaker's Corner - with permit"), at least before I go to sleep. And in standard numbered points style too, as two of the three mentioned have done.
#1. Having pride for your school is good, but there's a limit to it before its perceived as a narcissistic obssession (much like blogging about this topic is)
#2. Just cos one ignorant ACS Sec 2 said naming the station after our own school was inappropriate doesn't mean the whole school is against us and will bankrupt LTA by boycotting the station.
#3. Hwachong > Raffles Other Place
PS it looks like the ACS(I) Sec 2 blog that sparked this off got taken down. Here's the original post:
Hwa Chong station???........ what a JOKE!
Hey ppl, read the papers recently? Hwa Chong is renaming Duchess station with a stupid/retarded/joke/communist MRT station called "Hwa Chong" station???!!! Some ppl say Hwa Chong's a heritage, while I say NOT! Its nothing great abt it!, other than regard it as a "highly dangerous building"....... I know, all of us ACSians would definitely be against it, but, there are ways on how we can deal with it!
Step 1: Boycott the station! I'd rather take a longer route than travel through that stupid station!
Step 2: Not to worry, our parents can fetch us to and from school (85% of us own at least 1 car), or take taxis!
Step 3: Lets dominate them! by building 6 new MRT stations each bearing the names of each ACS school! OR, just 1, called Oldham station! whatcha think fellow ACSians?
Step 4: Dump our school bags at "Hwa Chong" station!..... Next day.... HEADLINE NEWS: "Hwa Chong station recently hit by a large number of suspicious articles!.... SMRT shuts it down."
I guess, thats it folks, and remember, : Never EVER take a train though that stupid station!
