Is this a new subject for Raffle’s IP programme? Or a new creative manner of solving Mathematics problems?

You didn’t study the chapter on Permutations & Combinations?
No Miss Loi, they are trying to rediscover how our current element table was taught of.
what’s wrong with playing poker in sch u?
your question very funny:)
I said photo of a bunch of rgs girls playing poker at bishan. Since I didn’t exactly point out the school u part and you did…
that is exactly what is wrong.
i beg to differ. ordinarily unobjectional card games are often labelled criminal and ‘incorrect’, due to the fact that some people are simply incapable of differentiating between gambling and intellectual entertainment. has it even occurred to you that maybe they aren’t playing poker?
please do us all a favour and go back to grammar school, where you belong.
Ah, and you reek of elitism.
Well I got by with this kind of grammar for an A2 in GP..
Lol sumhow i got here by chance.
Maybe playing poker in public doesnt give a good impression (since singaporeans always talk abt “face”), but i don’t think there’s logically anything wrong with it, unless any money or material stuff was used to gamble. All depends on which point of view you are looking from, really.
To RGS girl: I think you should watch your phrasing and avoid personal attacks (eg. please do us all a favour and go back to grammar school, where you belong.) if you want to be taken seriously and not seen as elitist.
To admin: Not all RGS students, or top sch students, are like that. Please don’t let this minority create a negative impression of us in your mind.
Not problem, I belong to one of those supposedly “elite” schools as well and I can’t even do grammar.
what is wrong with playing cards in public area?
why people always like to find problem with students
from academically abled schools, it is just that
they know how to study abit more than the others, it does
not mean that they are angels, they are still human.
please do not stereotype, students are still growing,
they make erros like any other people, don’t make a shit hill out
of a small pile of shit, thank you

It takes just someone with IQ of 80 to tell you that when one dons a uniform, one automatically represents the organisation that uniform belongs to.
Being “more academically abled” as you put it, they should be even more aware of such things.
When I wear my Chinese High uniform, I don’t scold vulgarities in the public.
Firstly, just because you find the words that RGS girl uses big (or hard to understand?), doesnt mean that she reeks of elitism.
Secondly, scolding vulgarities in public is generally believed to reflect badly on a person and thus, we are not encouraged to indulge in such acts when we’re wearing our school uniform as it reflects badly on our school. You spouting vulgarities when you’re not in your Chinese High uniform doesnt redeem the very act that you’re committing (scolding vulgarities in this case), as it just reflects badly on your personality.
Something is wrong here because this another rafflesian is putting words in my mouth.
“Just because you find the words that RGS girl uses big (or hard to understand?), doesnt mean that she reeks of elitism.”
??? Just when did I say that?
The vulgarities is an example, showing that one should very well known that when wearing any uniform belonging to any organisation, what one does directly reflects the public’s impression of the organisation.
There is also a missing link between scolding vulgarities and bad personality that I simply cannot understand. Can our dear elite please advise on how does scolding vulgarities reflects one’s personality? Yes, scolding vulgarities is considered a “bad” behavior. But linking it to being representative of one’s personality is too much of a stretch.
Hi weikiat, why are you posting this in the first place? If you feel that it is wrong for top school students (or anyone)to play poker or card games in public I think it is better for you to tell them in face, or at least, convince us that it is bad. Posting their blurred photos here and sounding cynical will not really help, and you will just end up offending some people. Well, I’m not offended by what you have done, because it is your liberty, and I don’t see it as a disgrace to my school anyway. However I personally feel that you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill by raising this petty issue and making these RGS girls look like criminals caught red-handed doing something illegal.
Hi Ex RGS Girl (another anonymous coward from rgs.. sigh), Where did all your comprehension skill go?
See, the photo above was posted by someone on Stomp, and I only reproduce it here because I find it interesting and would like to see what my blog readers have to say.
“Making a mountain out of a molehill” through my blog is like advertising a product by throwing a brochure out of an airplane in its flight and hoping that someone will find it and buy the product.
I think that playing poker in school uniform is wrong. Especially if the students playing them are from a well known school. Even if those girls weren’t playing poker and gambling, people can get the misconception that they were. How will that reflect on them and the school? If they want people to know that they are not playing poker or gambling but doing something meaningful, then dont play with the poker cards. Have your meal at macs and just go home to play.There is no need to play cards at a restaurant. You are just hogging up the seats and it is inconsiderate. Whats that now about the girls? It is not about gambling but about how considerate they are. Finally if they want to do something like that, maybe do it in home clothes.
To: ex rgs girl,
LOL if you not at least offended you wont put up a post here…
To: Admin,
I agree to you, a uniform represent its organisation.. y just cant they return to their homes and change to something that belong to themselves..
To everyone else,
There always a black sheep among the whites ones.. RGS is a good school but are all the student doing what the society want them to do? this is another q.. so its a small thingy.. if police find it unacceptable, i guess it not correct either.. so small thingy la, they not gg to go to jail or what..
I think that as long as they weren’t making noise or disturbing the people around them, it’s fine. I don’t see why this should come as a problem. I mean it’s pretty obvious that they weren’t gambling (or so I think, I’m sorry if it’s wrong)and this kind of harmless card games are fine.
But if such things do come across as ‘bad’ in the eyes of public then maybe the students should take note and be more situationally aware that they represent their school.
hey i would just like to ask, if it is a group of non-elite school pupils caught playing poker in public will someone bother to post it up? sometimes it’s not us who want to be “different” from the other students and be the “elites”, it’s because others expect more from us, others are treating us differently from the other students. we are not the ones who asked to be regarded as the “geniuses”, it’s the others who gave us this title.
i see poker as a form of entertainment, just like playing the psp or uno cards, as long as money’s not involved. i believe many of my other schoolmates see poker as a form of entertainment too. i am not ashamed to say that we often play it in school during our free time or camps and stuff. our social studies teacher even got us to play indian poker to gain better understanding of what we were learning. i don’t get what is so bad about poker, really. just because it is a game people play while gambling? well, we play it without the money then.
seriously, we are teenagers who just want to have fun at times too, just like any other non-rgs teenager you see on the streets. we are not in this society just for the general public out there to discuss about our actions. are we animals in a zoo exhibit? just treat us like you will treat any other secondary school student, please.
Whoa look at all the fuss that came out of a small picture.
I think that the girls in the picture would have been kinda aware of what sort of criticism they face if they play poker in public in their school uniform. Yet they still did it so it’s just their decision really.
Basically it’s their lives. What they want to do, they do. What consequence they face, they face. Being from an ‘elite’ school, they stand out more so maybe next time they should be more conscious of this fact? But in the end it is still their decision so all we can do is just stand one side and offer them our opinions.
You obvious have some form of inability to comprehend who is the one who posted it to stomp, and who is behaving like a “sorry ads” here.
Ok.. so the general consensus here is that… ooooooh.. I’m a RGS student and I don’t think playing poker in the public in uniform is wrong. Hence I can do that and fuck care about school’s reputation
/pwn.
yeah ikr?? and deleting my comment is so brilliant on your part.
you’re so… strangely judgmental.
Ok, I do believe it is wrong to play poker in a public area in a school uniform, but I also believe it is wrong to publicly criticize them, and by posting pictures like these on the net, you would just be aggravating the situation. Instead, if you felt insulted/offended by them playing poker in public, you should have gone up to them and told them to stop. After all, they are just students and in the process of growing up to be fine and mature adults. I’m very sure you had your days too, people (non students).
And Rafflesians, please do refrain from doing anything, i emphasize, anything, that will put down the name of the Raffles schools. You have been given an opportunity to study in such a great school, cherish this opportunity. Have fun, y’all.
Why can’t all these rgs people understand that the picture wasn’t taken by weikiat and he already acknowledged the source as from Stomp. Why do these people insist that weikiat is the one who took the photo? RGS DON’t understand???!!!
i am from hci and anyway unless u have an IQ which is < than ur age u wouldnt enjoy poker without money. Cos it is completely pointless.
Um I agree that it’s their decision if they want to play poker in the public, and yes maybe next time they should be more aware of their surrounding, and that they’re wearing school uniforms. But the thing is really, why do you post it up here? Yeah I get it that you’re not the one who took the photo, so I’m not gonna say you should have just stopped them or something like that. But the thing is if you posted it up here to see what others have to say about it, then why do you insult or at least respond sarcastically to any Rafflesian who happens to come by and defends themselves? I mean isn’t it natural for people to do that? Sorry but I just think it’s wrong if you put it up here just to see other people criticize rafflesians. And if you think my previous statement was me putting words into your mouth, sorry again but really, that’s what your intention appears to me to be.
It’s no wrong playing cards in the public but they shouldn’t have done it in uniform. My girl is in RGS and I am ex-student of Nanyang Girls. Elite or not, one should always remember that when you are in uniform, you are not only yourself, the whole school/corporate image depends on your behaviour. So guys from ‘non-elite’ school, you have no excuse to behave badly in the public in uniform too!
seriously, rg girls hardly know how to play poker, they’re probably playing bridge or something.
no big deal man, really. they’re just entertaining themselves, its almost as good as taking a photo of a rg girl reading a book and going “GASP, she’s entertaining herself, she’s reading a book! CALL THE COPS!”
personally i think this whole post is rather pointless. in which case many of you would wonder why i’ve even bothered to say anything. but i’m bored, and this is way better than the work i have piled up.
