Some reflections from today's class outing:
1) Some people are very adamant over what they want to do, which other people may not like. For example, brentlim kept wanting to DDR. But nobody listens to him. Jonathan wants to rock fever. So everybody reluctantly drags their feet to accompany him.
2) This conflict of interest takes very long to settle, resulting in longer-than-necessary immobility, aka stoning. For example, everybody trekked to cine after meeting at orchard, but did nothing there, save for eating at Burger King. Yet, we spent at least 1.5 hours there.
In light of these, I would like to propose a solution. We need a class outing committee (COC), which will consist of the following positions:
- The all-powerful-leader-who-don't-have-to-do-anything-but-get-the-final-say (which of course have to be assumed by brentlim)
- Slacker (assumed by Sabrina. As the name implies, the job of a slacker is to slack. It's a cool job, for cool people like sab. )
- Photographer (assumed by Chiok. Has the power to freeze everyone except brentlim. When she says FREEZE, you are not to move until she has taken a photo of u. She also has the power to make anyone (again except brentlim) bai3 ani pose for her to take photos. This is more powerful than Jon's golden rule)
- The coordinator (in charge of notifying/coercing everyone to turn up)
- Logistics (assumed by Yang. the one who plans the itenary as well as calculate costs)
- Sales Executive (assumed by Gareth. Haven't thought of what he needs to do yet, but since he's one in student council, he might as well be one in the COC
In future, all class outings will be planned and carried out by this committee. All decisions by this committee is final. Of course, the COC should try to strike a compromise so that everyone is happy. A class outing, is after all, an outlet for distressing. But if there is a conflict of interest, we will follow brentlim's wishes, then majority's. But rest assured you will all enjoy yourself thoroughly. Since it is of brentlim's concern that everyone enjoys themselves, since he is, after all, the benevolent and all-powerful-leader-who-don't-have-to-do-anything-but-get-the-final-say.
