pls spend time to read.cipso we've just finished our 2nd cip in two weeks and one more to go. yeah it's indeed difficult to raise funds from the public. and today's cip was even more challenging, having to sell postcards priced at $5.50.
attendancenvtheless, i think the organisers will still be very thankful to those who turned up to help raise funds. and now, we'll of course be talking about those who did NOT turn up for the cip. well, it's simple. we signed up for the cip
individually. no one forced us, no one is obliged to sign up. even so, we ALL signed up. so since you've sort of promised the organisers that you're participating, then please turn up. who knows, you might be depriving another person of the chance to contribute.
so if you didn't turn up because of a valid reason, you shouldn't be afraid to say it out. therefore, the following ppl who didn't turn up today, you might want to tag on the tagboard abt why you couldn't make it today to justify your actions. of course, you must DU4 DE2 QI3 yourself. if you think that your reason is more impt than the cip that you cannot cannot miss it, then don't hesitate to put it down. (for those whom i know your reasons, don't mind putting them down again, since we should be fair)

MeiLing - photog camp
Catherine - overseas

i'll update this post, to fill in your reasons if you've tagged on the board. if not, these ppl will be GUILTY until proven innocent. and even if guilty, we can't do anything at all to make you all change, make you all turn up for future cip, but just to let you all reflect about your actions/decisions. and to prove yourself innocent, please state the reason that you won't DUI4 BU4 QI3 your conscience. [if you didn't tag before 8/6/07, you'll be GUILTY]
even if your reason is SO SO SO SO "VALID" (i.e. innocent) like, going overseas or whatever, then have you given this cip some respect? like not even considering or keeping it in mind and scheduling things that will clash with the cip.
seriously, this is the first time i've heard of not turning up for cip. maybe it's becuz in sec school, our teachers organise the activities and we MUST turn up. just think, when we signed up for the cip, it was as a class. if you've taken a close look at the list of participants, each fund-raising date will have the whole list of participants and their contact no. but for 2/6/07 and 9/6/07, only carline's contact no. was printed there. so if anyone did not turn up for their cip, they would be held responsible and they would be in trouble (if any). but for us, if any of us did not turn up, the only person that the organiser will contact will be carline.
so just spare a thought for others. just like the SISC meal helper day. i was "put i/c" and thought that i had so much responsibility that everyone has to turn up in time, etc. but in the end i realised i'm just a msg relay. i'll just repeat whatever that the organiser told me to everyone. [fyi, she commented that we were "very unenthu and looked reluctant to do the job"]
well, it's the same thing, since you signed up for it, then do it. i didn't personally sign up for the meal helper duty, but since it has to be done, then do it. you've signed up for the cip, do it. carline is not obliged to do these for all of you. but imagine it, if w/o her, will there be someone to coordinate our cip and communicate with the organisers? everything can be pushed to the ct and house affiliate, but why is she doing this? and if you rmb, i don't think cip rep is a compulsory position in the class. so, NO RECOGNITION, NO REWARD, why is she doing this?
at least i got to be a msg relay for the SISC duty to make sure that everyone got the msg. i don't think carline even got to be the msg relay, since the relayed msg gets stuck somewhere when it's passed down. two msgs were passed down in the past two days, maybe you all will like to point out if you've received the msg or not. so that we know the culprit.
a subject rep just has to collect things
a civics rep just has to do admin things
a house affiliate just has to be enthu abt house stuff
a ne ambassador just has to be busy for some periods of the yr
a house cap just needs the enthusiasm of some ppl to be successful
and even a cca leader has subordinates under him/her to coordinate things
but a cip rep needs the coorperation from every single person
hope that we can get full attendance on 9/6/07.
-weijian (why am i doing this? cuz i think it's unfair to carline bcuz of selfish and irresponsible ppl [rmb, guilty until proven innocent, prove yourself])
