Hohoho. Someone is finally pissed. As usual, comments in italics.
Firstly, I would like to say THANK YOU to all of you who actually BOTHERED to email me, text me or approach me on MSN to inform me regarding whether or not you could make it to the waterpolo finals. You are indeed a rare, considerate breed.
Actually I think we're a lot more considerate than you, my dear lazy CT rep. You reach home to take a nap till 3 everyday, and you cannot call each of us up one by one to ask us? Remember that we're going down tomorrow only so that you can enjoy more time spent with your 'term paper and other stuff'. The least you could do is to call us, the way those who are planning class outings call everyone up to ask them to go down whichever day.
For the rest, may I please remind you that I am NOT doing this for my own pleasure! I would appreciate some COOPERATION (ie A RESPONSE) when I appeal to the class SPECIFICALLY NOT TO REMAIN SILENT and NOT TO IGNORE my emails, so that organising this would be JUST A BIT more efficient and less of a hassle. As of now, I still have not heard from some people. I would really appreciate it if people would be so kind as to make the huge, exhausting effort of moving their fingers across a keyboard and emailing me a single sentence without me having to approach them one by one to ask.
As I said, the least you could do is call us. Sorry we're all too lazy for you, but if you treated the matter with less authoritative tones and actually did some labour CT reps do, maybe the class would have responded better, or even just made 'the huge exhausting effort of moving their fingers across a keyboard and emailing you a single sentence' so that we could all save you the trouble of asking us one by one. Haven't you figured out by now that we're Singapore, not bloody Brussels. Stop thinking we're like your angelic friends out there, because sorry to disappoint you, we aren't. And as follows your individualistic nature, you think asking like 15+ people is difficult, what about if you had a whole CCA, or even a Company or Platoon to coordinate?
As for apathy, I have changed my mind. I think the fact that less than half the class bothered to reply after two emails appealing for feedback and having waited since Thursday for it is irrefutable evidence that Ms Lye's assessment was indeed correct after all.
Two emails is really a lot, you know. We are so obliged to email you back just because you sent two emails to us. We really owe you our time schedules of what we're doing and all so that you can be 'JUST A BIT more efficient' and quickly clear this match support so that we can spend time with our 'term papers and other stuff'. Really, all you've done is to irrefutably prove that you're such a selfish git that I'm surprised that you can actually like someone. Really, apathetic? Maybe you should look at yourself from an outsider's angle so that you actually understand what she meant. Just because you refuse to be self-critical doesn't mean that others can't be critical of you. And don't forget that you are part of the class, however reluctant as we are to admit it, so the label applies to you as well.
