Well, i was asked to teach a connections class for Lindy Camp. I decided to get Kalai's help as the rest of the seniors were not around. Prior the camp, i had comments like "Steady leh, i wouldnt take such a difficult class to teach." I was skeptical. Wondered if i made the right choice. But since i've agreed, i'll just go with it.
I was supposed to go to Linda's bb full month but as the event was at 12pm at Yew Tee and i needed to reach NTU at 1pm, decided not to rush myself. In the end, as i was out late, decided to take a cab. Meiling was going with me. And as i was waiting for her as well, took a little more time. But when i reached src, i was on time.
Alas, wat appears before me was an empty src, no people, no calls to inform me if people are late, if there is a change of venue. I was starting to boil inside.
Last year, i accompanied FF to Lindy Camp as well. We climb the hill to Nanyang House to only realised that there was a change of venue and we were NOT informed.
This time round, i called Kalai who is still on the way in a cab, She Fong who is not in school yet but she says the group is having lunch at canteen 2. I was really boiling inside then. Once i finished the call, i was complaining all the way.
In the first place, don't they know we are gonna be there at 1pm? If there was a delay, should they have the courtesy to call and advise that they will be late? Nowadays, my tolerance for such behaviour has come to a minimum and it gets soo irritating. I dun mind spending time, BUT, time can be spent more useful. When people take an effort to make their way to school and teach, cant we be more responsible and advise people if they gonna be late or watever.
Meiling told me to dun be soo angry and if i really find it a waste of time, i can choose to do other things and not join them. Sigh, she just dun get it. When we were walking to Can 2, wat i see and feel irritates me more. There were only 5 ppl. Five. I din mind the small group but shouldnt being a small group makes things easier? I realised they had pilates in the morning as i asked why do they looked soo tired. They were eating their lunch at a slow speed and there wasnt any apologies lor. It was as though i should noe that they are at can 2 and it is ok that they are late. Pengz.
Kalai and She Fong arrived later and took a full lunch. Kalai decided on a full lunch after the juniors were still slowly munching away. Sigh, by the time we are done, it was 1.30pm. Half an hour away from stated time.
We started class with 4 juniors and 1 lead. RH came back slightly later and we could continue. The class, in my definition was ok. I gave my comments on how their lindy turn looked like. Especially the follows. And shared my idea of where we should give the leads the connection.
After my class ended, Kalai and Rei Hao taught them Charleston Stroll. The juniors were kinda lost and i helped to go through each and every steps in a drill. Opps, sort of overwrite the instructors.....opps....
Then it was dinner time in Can A. We mingle around and tok nonsense. By then, i decided to leave at 8+ to go home and pack my bag for the trip to Msia.
In conclusion.
1. The camp was slacked
2. I din feel that it was well planned
3. Bad attendance
4. I appreciate if they could have informed earlier that they will be late. I wouldnt be soo angry.
5. I was ok to take a cab cos i was late. But not when i rush and they slacked.
Ask me if i will be there the following year. No idea. I should still go. Just that i will be smarter and sms them before i reach to time check.
