I'm actually a member of a student's club in SIM, the Film and Performing Arts Society (FPA), the ex VP to be exact. Just when I thought that our year was not too great, I worry that this year's batch may end up being worse than we were. Turns out that this year a lot of the people on the committee were more or less coerced and persuaded to come into the comm. Other than that, quite a few work and cannot commit the time required of them to make the orientation a success.
Went to help out in the two day school orientation. Couldn't really believe how little preparation had been done. Luckily somehow we still managed to pull the thing together. Not a great talker to strangers myself, so I didn't really manage to convince too many people. Luckily we have Adrian, Eric, Jason, Peilu even Zizhe on board or we wouldn't have managed to get as many people as we have. Hopefully out of the many who have expressed interest there are enough of them who genuinely want to be in and contribute to the club.
They'll meeting up with Benny to discuss about the play this evening. Hopefully everything goes well. Would very much like to be there but I happen to be teaching today and can't make it This sucks! I always seem to miss the most important meetings.. grrrr.....

Oh well, perhaps it's better this way. I'm retired after all and shouldn't be so meddling. As much as I would like to help, there is a point where it borders on intruding on their committee. Will provide assistance as and when they need it. =)
Am now only worried about the 29th. Have they got any of the details ironed out at all at the moment? What games have they planned? How long for each game? What time to meet? Where to meet? How many would turn up? What food are they preparing to have? These are but a few basic questions that I would like to know that they have answers to. Hopefully they have started making calls to the freshies to ensure their attendance. If not... Let's just say it would be bad if no one but ourselves are to turn up for this year's Sentosa...
