I GIVE UP!!!

Its moving towards the remaining quarter year as the calendar sheets is getting thinner. As the one who always step into a whole damp of shit, I , Low Lai Yin has start the process of planning the 5p2/2005 annual class party. It can be said that I'm the one that responsible for the class event like gathering and class party. Reason? Because others doesn't wish to bring trouble into their perfect life. Thus, here am I, the busy-body who so-called dedicated to the class. If there's no class party, others will just continue with their own new friends and their own buddy. What about the other class mate you had not seen them for ages? Don't you wish to update yourself with the current life of your class mates? Don't you wish to stay in touch with them? Some says no. Guess they really love their new friends or they are trying to isolate themselves from this cruel world. What ever it is, I don't wish this situating to happen and I HAVE to plan the annual class party.

I start my process by sending an e-mail to every single class mate to ensure they've been informs about the party and I do ask them for opinion for the date and location. I even post the notice on my blog, hoping that some one will take note of it. I wouldn't care much about my own opinion. Such a selfless me. Some really did reply and I appreciate it. But those that reply are just a minority of them, and this really pulls my eagerness down. I can't give up at this time. I've sent the mail and discuss a little on it with Wei Liang. So I continue with my planning base on the reply I got from few of my class mate. I browse thru millions of web page, looking for a perfect restaurant, flip thru the calendar a millions times, my brain spinning rate goes faster than normal rate and wola finally something came out.

People, 5p2/2005 annual class party information are below,

Date: 8^th September 2007

Time: 7pm to mid night

Place: MPR

However, the response for the information above ain't good. Some says September not a great month. Some says Saturday not a good day. Some even say having the reunion at restaurant ain't a good idea.

Here's the reason I receive for objecting the date:

• Having exams.
  
• Exams coming. Another two months!!!
  
• Won't be home. Still at my hostel.
  
• New semester starting.
  
• Have night class (can be forgive for this reason)
  
• Don't wish to go out on the Saturday night.
  

Reason to object on the location:

• Don't get to walk around and talk to each other.
  
• Nothing much to do after food.
  
• Can't take picture.
  
• Can't scream and shout.
  

I wonder, what type of lame reason can they think of any more? Mother won't allow going out at night? I have to babysit my sister? Wanna watch Mr Hong Kong? Damn this lame reason okay!!!

Here's my reason why do I make it on a Saturday, September and at MPR.

• We get to have fun till mid night and we won't have class the next day.
  
• We can celebrate Yee Cheong's birthday as well.
  
• Can bid Yee Cheong's farewell in advance since he's going to Melbourne to study.
  
• This is the only month where almost everyone is free.
  
• MPR is the best place to have reunion. They'll have performance and a suitable space for you to move around.
  
• MPR have very own event planner to suits our event.
  
• MPR's atmosphere was great.
  
• We can have our party at MPR till as late as possible. And we could scream and shout till your lungs drop (unless you were too shy to do so. Than I have nothing to say.)
  
• You could relax before the start of your exams and new semester.
  

See, my reason covers all their lame reasons. But however, it's the class party. It has to be agreed by the class. So I has to change everything and squeeze my brain, browsing thru millions of web page again, flipping the calendar another millions times, do more calls and send more mails.

So, I send lots of 'hey do you have a minute or two?' to my MSN list. Out of the many, some replied me a big fat NO. Will you be pissed with it? I know I am. For some who have time, I ask them their preferable month to hold the party? 10 out of 10 answer me 'up to you', 'cincai la' and 'anything will do'. Since you give me this answer, WHY THE HECK DO YOU OBJECT WITH THE DATE I SET BEFORE THAT??!!! I'm seriously pissed.

I shall be more professional as what Kenny always said. Yes I should. So I bear with their 'wateverla' attitude and continue with the planning. But, as usual, before during and after the party, no one appreciate the trouble that I've got into. No one seems to care much about it. All they know is that some sucker made this THING for us to enjoy, and we share the cost wert, so why should I care about the process and the trouble that sucker gone through, why should that sucker get the credit? I'm hoping for neither money nor credit, all I want is just appreciation and a 'thank you'. Simple. Guess no one will understand.

So the common month where ALMOST everyone agrees with is December. And here's the reason why:

• Finish exams de mar....
  
• Dec everyone sure will be very free wan...
  
• We can celebrate Christmas oso mar....
  
• Most of all, LOW LAI YIN the big busy body is the only one who will be having class on the Dec and she might not attend the party due to LK's graduation ceremony at Melbourne. Guess they really wish that I don't attend the party huh...
  

  
  

Sigh... am I really a poor sucky event planner? Good thing I'm not in mass communication, or I'll deathly fail all my paper.

Conclusion of this entry is that people should learn to appreciate things that others did and things that happen around you. I do believe that things happen for a reason. Just like my result. I get such a poor results and the reason? So that I get to study law and move on to UK. That's something that I've been always hope for. So what happen if my result is just as good as I always hope for? The answer is that I'll have to study business at Melbourne next year, because my parents suddenly changed their mind and wanted me to study at Melbourne. Because of my sucky result, I dint manage to get into any law school at Melbourne but to do transfer credit to UK uni. Yea, it is something that I always wanted to do.

Hence, I'll give up soon if I don't get any cooperation from my class mate. Don't say I never warn you. I did!! And don't say I'm not doing my job, I DID!!! It's just everyone seems to be too busy for me.

Till than, Endz...

Love,

Nichole @ Lai Yin
