Arrows flying all over...
Came across these mails from a particular activity group...... Can't help but laugh when i read the mails. WHY? thats because all the emails have double meanings in them, subtle yet its there for all to see.... well maybe i'm just too sensitive.. who cares, its just my own personal thoughts and i shall leave you to be the judge...
A little background of this activity group: Fun loving bunch of people who came up with brilliant ideas for many of the games. Not too strong in the adminstrative sense probably because they are all still young and lack the relevant experiences. Girls in their Logistic team, hmm... probably to advocate gender equality?
And now for the disclaimer* (its redundant i know but freedom of speech still comes along with a price tag in this little red dot.)
"No part of this material presented attempts to portray any particular individual or incident. All resemblences are merely coincidental, and the blogger should not be held responsible. "
Also note that some of the sensitive parts such as names have been omitted to protect the people involved... This blog is meant to be funny , not to shame pple ya...

hmm yeah well now that it's been brought up - i think we've gotta set aside perhaps half a day or so to go sort out all the logistical madness that is the clubroom. things left behind, things taken home by mistake, cleaning up, the whole nine yards. i'm saying we set aside some time cos i don't wanna be the only one sifting through mountains of lime magazines whilst in the presence of the host of a cappella dudes none of which i will profess to know very well. if you get what i mean and i'm sure you do. if not. well. someone just say yes.for the record i've in my possession a top which my gramma refuses to wear cos it's not hers. goodday.
This guy usually speaks his mind... somehow he didnt this time.. After throwing many smoke bombs and decorating his words with flowery words (trying to be nice as far as i can see...), what I summarised was : "I am sure no one is going to do anything about it! I am willing to help sort out the mess. But someone please be stupid and garang like me and volunteer too.... "

Sigh.. Yar i agree we need to return all the stuff that are loaned to us for the camp. But don really have to the time to get down to do it BEFORE the coming fri leh.. How??
Ok, to aid things, could ALL ppl who wans their things back put down your names, DIRECT contacts(eg HP no, freq checked email add, etc) & the items that you wan back? Continue from this list which i'll be attaching.. Thanks!
PS: To all log comm ppl, think i most prob wont b able to go help out. Think wx oso.. U guys c wat u can do kk? Thanks!
PPS: For wxe's stuff, pls put them into the cupboard in the club rm can? Thanks!
PPPS: U may wan to check the inventory list(uploaded on yahoo gp..) for who loan out wat stuff. Not updated though..
This is really a powerful email.... The first sentence already suggested that she will not do the job, which she reiterated and make it clearer in the third sentence.... Her question 'HOW' doesnt need a reply actually because she already said in sentence 3 that the guys are supposed to the job....
I like her use of the word 'aid', which simply suggest that she has already used her brain hard enough to come up with an idea to FACILITATE the smooth transfer of the task from her to others.... whatever happens after that she is not obliged to care...
Haha it is also interesting to note that she doesnt mention any names, but just leave it to those who desperately need their stuffs back ("could ALL") or anyone who reads the mail and has a heart to step forward and help... my goodness.. how power!
She said in her mail to request pple to add to her attachment, where is the attachment then? If what she meant was to append the list to her mail, then basically she is just offering lip services... haha... everyone who has tried to organise something and request people to continue adding their list online would have know how inefficient this is.
In summary, what this mail say is: "I am not going to help! Someone else will do the job! I dunno who will do the job, but someone will ....I dont care anyway! "

Hi,I have created a database in this yahoo gp for u all to update the list of log items u all want to collect back. This way, we will not all receive so many attachmets and the list will always be fully updated.

Must we arrange the items in club rm by this fri? This wk I only thurs before 3.30pm free. If next wk, I'm free on Tues to go down to help..
pps: Pls don't try to squeeze my hula hoop into the cupboard hor
Nothing much to say about this mail.. alright he cant make it, but at least he did something concrete to remedy the situation... haha. by offering another day, and also setting up a database to consolidate all the stuffs.... well... what can i say... good job. =)
Haha.. this is the problem when you have an activity full of seniors... who have seen enough of these bull_cxxx excuses. You cant run away la... one sneeze and most of us will know what you are up to.... So for those juniors who are reading this blog hor... take this as a learning experience and try not to be funny and show pattern.... keke.. cuz we have all done that before too =p
