Bounce

Funny is the fact that White Coffee and Vitagen were nearly shouting at each other today.

*But White Coffee doesn't want to be called White Coffee so we shall call him 'Fanny' (name courtesy of Ms. Ooi) from today onwards...*

As you can see, I am so busy from assignments I barely have time to blog at all. But today, dad talked to me about the importance of composing, and I felt the sudden need to ensure the continuity of my blog posts.

According to him, I shouldn't be holding back in expressing my own thoughts in fear of disagreement from other parties.

Hrmm... hi dad, I know you're reading. You're always reading and I'm fully aware of it. Oh well, writing IS a hobby, maybe you'll like to start your own too.

Anyway, Fanny, Vitagen, Emily and I are working in group for our English Language essay writing assignment. Due to popular demand, I was made the leader of the group. To be very frank, I didn't like the idea but I had no choice because I had no valid reason to excuse myself. I accepted the challenge in hope of a miracle to happen. It's never easy to manage a bunch of monkeys especially when you are one of them yourself.

The working process for our assignment wasn't entirely smooth-sailing. To put it in other words, it was disastrous.

At a point, I even see the assignment as a pure friendship destroyer.

Let's just say that we are all worn-up from our hectic university life and we lose our tempers very easily. Adding oil to the fire, we have limited time but unlimited assignments lol.

Communication IS a barrier especially when we are from different planets. I admit that I wasn't behaving as nice as before. But I did try my best to keep my temper under control, I just couldn't help it! I was just too tired to fake out kindness.

To: Emily, Fanny and Vitagen

I'm so sorry. I know I'm not a good leader. I know I might annoy you all. But I do hope that you all understand that I did not mean to be mean. I know I'm useless at times but I did what I could to help.

Thank you Fanny for staying up the whole night (and coming to see me early in the morning like a zombie) to rearrange the points for me. Thank you Emily for drawing the mind-map (alone without help from any of us), I'm glad you were there to play your important part. Thank you Vitagen for your extensive research for writing materials... and your fiery spirit.

In conclusion... next time... don't appoint me as leader, ok??

We consulted Ms. Ooi and surprisingly she was satisfied with our work.

Tomorrow we will be doing the presentation. We have decided to wear formal and it'll be our very first time showing up in formal.

I shall take some photos tomorrow =P
Cannot imagine Vitagen in formal XD~!
