born serene oh but not old.
nicknamed the old one now.
i stress, i am not old.
i would prefer to be called, mature.

It's not a dream if it came true,
but we exist to dream.
Make a wish,
I'm your faithful genie that doesn't have much patience :)

serene is not a happy girl when someone make a comment her beloved polka dots!! not happy!!

what is wrong with ST? what is wrong with it!! how can they do such a thing? putting the results of a poll on the cool and uncool uniforms on a national paper, how can they?

i think this is humiliating, to be named the top on the list of uncool uniforms. don't they ever spare a thought for others? come on. ask anyone who has worn that uniform before and they will tell you they love it. ST did clarify by saying that 84.5% (i think) of the girls love the uniform, which is good. but still. do we have to care whether our uniform is uncool in others' eyes? seriously, i am so proud of my polka dots that i would do anything to wear that now, and not that set of pretty unifrom from sa.

then again, i tried to look on the brighter side. polka dots are our trademark and we stand out because of it. only st margs girls will understand the pride of being dressed in polka dots and learn to love the history behind the uniform, behind the school. only st margs girls have the right to be dressed in polka dots and never be a fashion faux pas. only st margs girls are able to identify each other through the love of polka dots. only st margs girls have this priority. only st margs, only polka dots.

here's an extract from my chabo's post.

It's not how the uniform looks. It's how you feel when you put it on. Those polka dots are what binds generations of St Margs girls together. Yes, it may look ugly and disgusting but those are what make you stand out from others. Because after you leave the school, and you meet another St Margs girl, the first thing you would talk about is wearing the uniform and all it's conveniences(and inconveniences of course). Surviving 4 years(or 5 for some. maybe less for others.) in that uniform is somewhat like NS. You have something in common to talk about. It's an identity and it's part of the St Margaret's identity.

Yes I Know, it's not the best thing to camoflage in when you're walking down Orchard Road but when you're in a whole bunch of polka dots(ie in school). the conveniences of the unifrom are uncountable. Just to name a few:
1) It's nice and cooling! Need i say mroe people?
2) You have a fan attached to your unifrom. (the tie lah! though it's fake)
3) Hands up to those of you who take about 10 seconds to put it on in the mornings!
4) It is how easy to change out of. Especially in class. Right 4/5 '05? ;)
5) People don't ask you which convent you're from(sorry IJ girls.)
6) Though this may never happen again, but during first three months, your ex-schoolmates are easy to spot.

What more can I say? It's the school spirit that counts, not the school uniform. Never judge a book by it's cover.
