Hi 204, I believe that most of you have received the message from Pei Xuan. If not, here's the message:
"Hey 204, I know it's kind of a wrong time. But I read something from someone in this class, and I realised we really failed. 41 of us, meeting in Xinmin, it's fate, isn't it? It's been one and a half years. We only had one gathering, we have rejects in this class, we don't seem bonded at all. I'm not blaming anyone. If anyone IS fail, it should be me, the function head right? Ppl have been trying their best, I've done nothing. To you this may be nonsense. But seriously, think.
Next monday, 9 August, is a public holiday. Can we, as a CLASS, please go out and have fun? Since it's so hard to decide on a venue, how about the simplest? A movie. It's our last chance at redemption. Our two years are almost gone. If we can't even get together for that couple of hours, are we even a class? Please just try. Details will be given ASAP."
*If you had received the later message, the date has been changed to 10th August.
Isn't this very true? What Pei Xuan and that someone had said is really what is happening in our class now. To Pei Xuan, she thinks it is her fault. But to me, I think each and everyone of us should be blamed for the various cliques and quarrels happening in our class. Think, if at the beginning we had all interacted more with each other, not choosing to always stick with the same people, there wouldn't be rejects in the class. Everyone would be comfortable with each other. And to the 'rejects', the least you could have done was to talk more, open up a little so that people would know you better and not leave you out. And to those, who always say "don't want to go" or even "lazy", what does this say about your attitude towards our class? You don't give a damn. You don't care about whether we're bonded or not, whether we're happy together. You're just concerned about your own results, your own well-being, so anything that's happening in the class is none of your business. I'm not saying I'm not at fault. I admit, I kept sticking to the same groups of people too but now after reading the message, I realised that I really have to talk to those people I don't usually talk to. I know I am in no position to say this, but can everyone just put in a little effort in trying to come for the class gathering? Just push your differences aside and for just a few hours be together as a class. We only have 3 months left together. 93 days. Even less than that. Even if you really really really detest someone, please, just forget about the unhappiness and enjoy this class gathering. And to those who have kept trying to organise outings, I understand it is hard for anyone to motivate a group of people who aren't interested to do this but at least you tried. It is so annoying and frustrating, you feel like giving up. But if you did, there wouldn't even have been the one and only class gathering. 204, please try. It is better than giving up. 204, so let us watch a movie together, as a whole, with everyone attending, as 204'10.
