A small getaway with a lesson to be learnt
A small getaway with a lesson to be learntHad an outing with my OG last wednesday. It feels good to be out in the sun again after the one-month long torturing studying for examinations. It's been sometime since i last went Sentosa as well. Although the turn-out wasn't as good as i was expecting, i enjoyed myself. Playing beach games such as frisbee and touch rugby. Cai-ing quan in the deep seawaters proves to be fatal as well. Sleeping on the beach under the mild sun is super shiok as well.
Anyway, here's some picture that we took that day when we were about to leave palawan cos i forgot i brought my camera along! hah!
It's always good to see friends getting together as couple. All the best Sara and Kyle haha :)
Anyway, just something for all to ponder. Do u think organisers of an event like the turn-out to be kns? If no, just something for all to note.
1. Don't ask the 'who's going' question. Just let the organiser know whether u ARE coming or not.
2. Worse still, making the organiser list down each and every souls who's going.
3. Worst of all, continue asking for names when the organiser already tried listing down at least 7-8 souls out of courtesy, instead of hanging up to u.
4. Late-comers. Although i am usually late, it's usually 5-15mins late? 30mins sometimes. Anything more, usually i will know beforehand and let the organiser know the time that i will be reaching. So if u were to be many many hrs late, just because u chose to schedule some appt before the event, means u place no importance in the event itself right? Dun bother coming then. Seriously, as a person i dun like to attend something just for the sake of it. So as an organiser, i wouldn't expect pple to come when they dun feel like it as well.
5. No shows. There's a saying. Chi Dao Hao Guo Mei Dao. So much so pple do come late for hrs, i still believe any organiser will appreciate the effort individuals made in order to come. There are different classification of condemnation of no-shows.
(i) The individual sms-ed the organiser informing about his/her no-show after the time to meet already passed
(ii) Organiser sms-ed only to find out the person isn't coming
(iii) Organiser sms-ed but no reply (hello? so are you dead already?)
6. Don't ask the 'who's still coming' question. You already made it great by showing up, dun downgrade yourself by asking this kind of question. To have read this far, i am sure u agree that no organiser would like the turn-out to be kns, so he is trying his best as well!
