Recently two pax from one of the ex companies wanna to have a gathering.
One of them smsed me that 'since you r so free, you do the coordinating'
*Raise eyebrows.. did i say i wanna have the gathering in the first place? *roll eyes.
Emailed both and then added in one more ex colleage via facebook email.
Told them they are what i have. N apparently they are linked up too. If really needed, i can help with getting contact of two others through one of the friend's friend. But we shoud put in effort together since they are the one who sparkle idea of meeting up.
The gracious lady whom i 'implicated' replied she can get the rest.
Hence we progressed to decide on date n venue.
That original two did not reply.
After sometime, e one who smsed me earlier, let's call him B, wrote back.
* Raise eyebrows!
He wrote aloud it will be more meaningful if it is set toward end of this month which is his bday. N then suggested that we do it at someone place to cut cost. But must note that not at his place
Wah! did i feel the earth shake abit?
Following day, he nudged me on msn (pls note that i have informed him many times that for first msn, do not nudge, it jus so crude but he still do that). N question me how the progress
*hammer on hand alrdy
So i wrote back in the email chain that i have not heard of any reply on date n venue and since B is so keen on his bday bash, we shall await for his bday invitation.
He is soooo panicky n said he can wait lah
Wahahahahah
*hammer crushes the shell?!
At this stage, i m not keen to pursue further. And gave them the two contacts i promised earlier to find for them.
The other guy, T, wrote back n seconded idea of doing it at someone hse n then pointed at that gracious lady. Then he said do not reveal HP number on internet cos may be....... n then suggest to get that two involve in thinkinng of the venue n date but disregarded he now alrdy have their number to contact.
Final stage, i m dropping out of this whole nonsence.
It is so obvious both want conveniences out of others. Want me to coordinate, wan gracious lady to spare her house. N if it is so bad as not to reveal HP on email. I think we should not state the date n time of our gathering. Wat if ppl hack our email n plan to rob us at that time and spot? also it could extend to possibility of not sms becos sms is not 100% foolproof. So there is so many WAT IF * can feel the pierce of my sword or not heehee
Chatted with one of my friends on this case. He also understand where i came from. A gathering is a gathering, a bday celebration is a bday celebration. After not meeting for 10 over years, we would not know how the response like and how we will be reacting to one another. And since B made himself clearly that it is to be held on his bday week, we will have to politically correct to treat or get him a cake rite? But there are other factors. .. we may need to find out who else in the group having bday ard the corner. If not, it is so unforgiving rite? And would ppl really keen to chop money to buy him cake or a treat? it is not about the costs but rather necessary? To him it is meaningful but to one who have not meet him for 10 yrs, does that make sense? Doing it at someone house mean cutting cost for you. Even if potluck, it will still require the host to play more parts. Maybe some will not mind. But they are the one who suggested and too quick to exclude themselve from extending their house. That is really overboard.
O no, who these ppl really r?
Let's keep strictly to facebook pal (o ya, do not ever email again, WATCHOUT!)
