Changing of NYJC name

Recently, there is a big uproar over the changing of my alma mater, NYJC. Newspaper has featured, in the forum by the former NYJCians who have become professors. There is a big hoo-ha in the school, as majority of the people do not want to change name. As to some other people who are pro-changing of name will say, as to names are names, and NYJC spirit will never die. But frankly speaking, this is horribly wrong. Do we anyhow change our names in our lives without any special reason? Names are of course very important, as they hold very special significance. Just like the Chinese, we do not anyhow change surname too.

Hai~~ It is not a matter of how the pro-changer say as to that NYJC is just a name. In fact, NY has become a household name. Though it is not as prestigious as the top notch JC, NYJC is still famous, at least to many, to all former NYJCians. Just like Anderson, Anderson Sec is not affiliated to Anderson JC but they still have same name, right. This tells us that affiliation is definitely not related all to name. Another will be Catholic JC and Catholic High. Just like NYJC and Nanyang Girl. We are not affiliated, right. Why don't Cheung Chen change their name to NY Sec instead, right? This is really lame.

Economically and common sensically, changing of name is so lame, and very cumbersome. How juch effort is needed to change the name? How much is needed to change the infrastructure? It is not as if NYJC owe CC, that we go to CC. It is ironically the other way round, CC coming to NYJC. In fact, CC should follow NYJC and not the other way round. This is very lame. Such a simple thing can turn into complicated things. For years, we have survived and all are in order. CC and NY remain. Don't know why suddenly change the name, for a sudden reason.

Name sadly speaking is not just names. They are HOLY. Yes, the pro-changer say changing of name does not mean NY spirit will cease. But hey, indeed NYJC spirit will cease. About the good luck in CC, it is bull shit. I am one who also believe in Feng Shui. That is NYJC itself is also a good name, or else the Chinese Businessman, the pioneers will never have introduce this name in the first place.

NYJC, the spririt. When the name change, people will not say CC spirit, but still langer on NY spirit. By Occam Razor, we should keep things as it is. It is very strange for humans, as they like to do things complicated. No wonder, there is chaos and confusion and war in the world. All these are caused by humans who proclaimed they are intelligent, they and we are, but intelligent people always do stupid things at times.

And also, the past people will also be alienated. They will still remember their NY spirit. To many people, they will sign. They will forget the presenf CC JC and relish their memory of the past NYJC. I am not exaggerating, so what if the management heck care, and change. Haha, I will be laughing, waiting to see my uncanny prophecy come true.

I am not sardonic and sacarstic. But, I am not into it. Why now, and suddenly? At least if PAP do something that individuals do not like, they make sure they show people it is for our own good. Sometimes it is true, though sometimes it is not. But, for this CC and NYJC changing of name, I do not see any good at all, to the students, to the management, to the alma mater students, and many more. People will only be confused. I don't know. Management still hold the decision, and like a wise emperor, hopefully, they listen and consider. No doubt, popular decision may not be always right, but sometimes, for certain circumstances like this, popular decision is CORRECT, just like during election ...
