Shall we play?

Game

Lost

Found


Lost again

We play the
Same game

Over and over

Again


With different
People

At different
Moment

Of our lives


But the same

rhythm


tempo

beat


we lose

our way


we find

our way


loss

gain


lost

and found


you

me

let's play


shall we?

Kel. 6 October 2005.

I just saw a program on local telly on seeking someone in your past. Omigod, its horrifying the way schools keep records of their past students. Imagine out there somewhere, you leave a trace of yourself in every single educational institute you’ve been in. *wide eyed look*

Isn’t that absolutely terrifying how information & confidential details of our lives are left on records?

Who knows, maybe someday you might be grateful that information is so easily availabe? Although at this point, at this moment, yours truly is just horrified that out there, my LIFE is on record.

Imagine if someone wanted to seek you out, all he/she has to do is to visit our schools.

Who knows, maybe out there somewhere, someone is seeking you.

Who knows, maybe

Just maybe

You would like to be found

Do you?

PS: just read Mrs Craddock. Good book. Shall write about it if yours truly can muster up the effort.

PPS: *Starry sounds like she's in deep shit, ie, lotsa stress from school & student union. Tough luck. But hey, you're live. No one who is mentioned in yours truly's blog will perish from exams/papers/school, etc, you get the point. Don't you? *archly* So get a grip on yourself. Break a leg. Kill a cow, etc, etc. Yours truly would like to sound more sympathetic, but alas, used up her miserable store of sympathy, sweetness & light eons ago. *deadpan*

is there no confidentiality at all - no clause that states the information may NOT be given out without things like 1) permission, and 2) valid reasons (looking for a friend of a friend, etc. is NOT valid reason)?

anyway, how much information can a school have on you? save for telemarketers, the information (i think) is pretty harmless.

i think the schools usually keep records CONFIDENTIAL. And only really release it under special circumstances, which is right & proper. But that's not the point. The point is that the information is there, kept in records.

A school usually have most details about one like address, contact details, parents' names, etc, etc. That's harmless?

hm. pretty harmless. i mean, for me, my old records in Sg would still have my old address and home number - neither of which is valid.

but even if they were still valid, i don't see how dangerous(?) such information would/could be.

then again, i'm known to be extremely myopic - so tell me what i've failed to see.
