bloood boils

the following email was sent to jiajie recently. he, jason, nicolas and i had signed up for the TH night cycling together with these other 4 girls from Regar, only to discover that a certain OAC co-head (wah, macam very big like that) had split our group up without any notice. the words in brackets are my own opinions on the email.

Jia Jie, (what? not even a hi? so rude)

It has come to my attention that you have been very unhappy that you and your 3 other friends had been shifted to another group. Below are some facts that you probably did not know or overlook.

Regar's OG rep had told me that the 4 of you are together as a clique. It was indicated that there are more Regar members that want to join. It was known to me that as long as I keep the 4 of you together, it is alright to shift you all to another group. Thus, as there are slots for 4 in another group, I shifted your group of 4 over. I do not see an obligation for me to inform you (what?!?! who do u think u are? it directly affects us and 'u do not see any obligation?' where's the ettiquette skills? no one teach u ah?! OAC co-head very big is it?)since that the Regar's rep had already indicated to me that I can do just that to accommodate the rest of Regar's OG.

Night Cycling is a yearly major TH event that aims at creating an opportunity for the residents to relax and get away from studies. As Co-Head of OAC, I did my utmost to keep the clique together in a group and that is the reason why I move the 4 of you together to another group and let the rest of the people that want to join Regar's group in.

Your claim that we would shuffle people around as and when we like is utterly false. There is no reason to do that. It just add more work to our side and unhappiness to everybody else (then why bother?). You also claim that we have no respect for you and your friends (damn right u dun). However, if I were to do that, I would have separated the 4 of you out and put into groups where there is only 15 people and not inform all of you about it. Obviously, that is something that I will never do.(like u would dare to, mr high-and-mighty-OAC-cohead)

This had been a very unhappy episode and the ultimate victim is Cherlynn whom you poured all your allegations on. To be fair to her, she know nothing about this and had only been tasked to collect money, collect t-shirt sizes and getting details from participants. She had done no wrong and do not deserve that. As a gentleman, I believe you should at least text a message of apology to her. (waaaaaaiiiiit a sec. are YOU? the one with the non-existent EQ and PR skills, fit to say this?)

If you have any problems, do look for me directly at B416. (wah, trying to pick a fight or what? watch The Days too much le is it...)

if some of my comments seem to be unfair or over the top, pls be reminded that my blood is boiling now, hence this post to help me vent some of my 'steam'.
any problems can look for me directly at B110. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

an he will rise on wings of eagles.....

ok the title is over-dramatic for the revival of this blog... actually for everyone out there lest BFFLF this is like a new blog, cause i havent really told anyone else bout this blog existence before now...

why im starting this blog again? well cause i read some pretty inspiring blogs moments ago and i had the sudden urge to blog. so there u go. impulse blogging. well, instead of being money consuming it's now time consuming. and since money cant buy time, im actually losing out.

oh heck.

someone asked me today "u always run and swim, swim and run, not sian meh?"

thought about it.

no. it's a passion, and a privilege, to be able to do what i'm able to do. and unlike this blog, it's not an impulse thing, so i dun foresee my love for the sport dying out anytime soon. till the day one part of my body fails, i'll probably be doing these for a long time.

it's crazy, i admit. the only satisfaction comes when u cross that finishing line knowing u've given it your all, and after that u ache and feel lethargic. but the satisfaction outweighs it all.

thats why im not sian.

ok enough, time to mug. soci midterm next wed.
