Felt that I really need to get this off my chest.. but I dunno how and where to start
There was only one word to describe my feeling towards this particular grp of ppl=utter disappointment. I didn’t have to be there last sat to know what happened or rather what was going to happen. I chose not to turn up as I knew no matter how we explained or rather, fight, (under that kind of circumstances I supposed this might be an appropriate word) it would be futile against the sheer number of fingers pointing at us, and I definitely had other better things to do than to talk to these ppl. My heart goes out to Cheryl and Choonpei for having to handle this shit, but at the end of the day, everything is over and we certainly have nothing against our conscience.
Firstly to begin with, how much support/help did we get from these ppl? Isn’t FOC/FOW a highlight event of the club? Given the traditional pathetic participation of the pharm cohort, if the exco still doesn’t show their support by at least turning up/or being more involved, how you expect the rest of the cohort to be enthusiastic about these events? Ya I know, there’s perceptorship and RAG, but that isn’t really an excuse. Of course, we will remember those that who had helped, n we really appreciate it a lot.
You guys claim that we should have more initiative in asking whether we can have deficits and dig onto reserves, let me ask you then WHERE is your initiative as a active member/exco of the club then. It doesn’t have to be in this aspect but wheres ur initiative to help in all relevant aspects?? Back to the point, we weren’t even told that it was okay to incur a loss; we were told to save n save n budget and we have really tried our best to strike a balance; you all made noise when we order $2 lunch vs ur super cheap but horrible $1 lunch last year; and after all it simply didn’t make sense to run a orientation event and make a lost. If u all really think we are charging too high a price for a matric pack, and have jnr’s welfare at heart, then use the reserves fund now n pay back into the jnr’s class fund la. Then it would be best welfare for the jnrs, since u all claim we never consider our jnr’s welfare.
So not only you all din help much, but u all pointed so much fingers at us throughout the entire orientation project. I daresay the programme for FOW is so much better this year, based on feedback from our jnrs, and instead of being appreciative n recognizing our efforts(haz), you all only know how to make noise. I am sure you guys have organized this before last year, and you know how hard it is, why make things so difficult for us? is it an yearly agenda of the agm to shoot FOW comm every yr?
Simply cannot comprehend why things will end up lydat. I really hope the new exco will do a better job this year. I have faith in u guys. And the juniors stop complaining so much, you will understand when its ur turn to organize nxt yr.
