This is so disturbing. I was checking my email when I spotted one with the title with Nathan's name in it. Random blog post here. Totally random okay.

This person is someone we J2s frequently see in school, and he's my classmates' lit classmate (it's ok if you can't catch the ball). No, I don't know him personally but arts students see their fellow arts people all the time so you get the picture. I saw him carrying a this fashion bag around in school O_O wtheck right. Then there was this very unforgettable day whereby he made a joke out of himself over the PA system. He was leading the school in the national anthem and pledge that day.

"We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people. So as to achieve happiness, prosperity, and --"

Don't we all take the pledge every day? Since we were little kids? Everyone was amused by his blunder. Tsk, how could he be so blur as to forget the words to the pledge! But he's really your average JC student (at least that's what I think), it's hard to imagine him as a big shot out there.
