wah, meeting up become so political???
i'm always the one who doesn't turn up even though i was royally late for the first singles' meetup. so far nobody bitch abt me in their blog, i guess better to bitch abt me as a group...
think it doesn't matter... if u're no-show means no-show, late means late... i dun think need to explain to pple abt being late in order for them not to misunderstand me... better to explain becos u owe an explanation for not being there at the time i said i would.
one thing abt group dynamics... i think some pple are overly concerned abt how others view them... to me i honestly dun give a sh!t. i like the groupie here and i try to be there when i know of the outings... sometimes will just call afterwork around 9ish/10ish and see if i can just drop by say hello... the good thing is - there's no agenda and just talk cock. i absolutely hate meeting with agendas... i have enough of that at work and afterwork, why need agenda?
wah then those type of "who's coming" confirm kena fcuked by me. if i'm not good enough, then u dun have to come liao... but good thing my groupies dun ask me that, so many years kena fcuked still dun learn, something is wrong. ok lah if got someone u really really must avoid then i nothing to say lor...
anyway bring a book or your ipod... for myself i allot 1.5hrs for uncontactable frens... after that it's actually More of Worry towards safety than anger over punctuality... it's a choice to wait, remember that. it's also good to meet at shopping centres, can do some browsing in the meantime and normally u call each other when u arrive... no need to bring in all the anger. of cos the more unforgiveable/can-be-angry types will be Mahjong, office-hour Lunch, movie? where time is a crucial factor...
anyway, with mobile phones and sms, it's definitely a basic courtesy to inform... your fren could be rushing down and sweating, whilst u're still at another place relaxing and not even on the way down yet... then tat one tulan lor... hehe
