The SP Rotaract Club this evening had their 12th annual installation for their new members as well as new main committee. Present were the director from Rotaract Queenetown and Rotarians from various polys, unis and centres in Singapore.
My point is, I wish I had such external support from other clubs as the Rotaract Club has from the International Club. We have no such thing as external contacts. We don't even have internal communication 'cos nobody cares about the club or anything like admin work. Everyone is vying for camera-handling and editing. Well, there are many videographers out there and there is endless opportunity to mingle with them, but if I were to try, I would neglect club responsibilities and have strong connections but no stability in the club. And it is unstable as it is already.
At least the Rotarian members know that what they do, they do it for the betterment of society as well as self. It's a passion and the members have an inkling of what is expected of them, seeing from all the formalities they went through and the motivating speeches made and the touching passover of Presidency from Mateen to Kok Wei... I wish our club could do something like that and have Royston Tan or Ning do a moving speech in commemoration of our ancestors or soon-to-be-passed-out students. Damn it, our biggest star Peter Jackson would be invited to open the passover ceremony!
The good thing about our club is that you get to go to events for free and you meet lots of new people and you have somewhere to chill and socialise ('cos you can club-hop and drop in at other clubs for fun). At least I get to eat lunches without much distress these 1.5 yrs in poly. Also they have the coolest software to play with, but I constantly worry that Chin Kai's 1TB HDD space would run out in a few mths if the 2TB HDD is not bought soon. Other people like to pop in and admire the 30" screen Mac Pro like it was the finest thing on earth, but it's nothing really. It's like... old! Our ancestors worked for it with their 6 laptops.
I'm thankful tt our windows can be opened 'cos other clubs can't. And when it gets stuffy or stinky of food and feet and heat and fart, we can still air ours. The clubroom now requires us to remove our shoes as compared to when we simply walked in, collected the cameras and zoomed out. It's cleaner this way and you can lie on the floor when you're sweaty and smelly like Kenny and Marcus does.
They are the 2 idiots in the clubroom. But they were of help when it came to work sometimes. And now that I found tt Marc is not capable of admin work and Kenny wants to quit from a sleepover incident and getting his key confiscated, I have lesser manpower. Esme also doesn't want to do treasury or anything I ask her nicely to do, insisting that she work within her job scope (which is to call/sms freshies when I ask her to and I rarely ask her to). If these ppl won't do as they are asked, how am I going to be more relaxed and delegate jobs more as Kwee Chek said? It's back to square one yah. And I need a life. So much for studies come first. Screw the club. It's not a club; it's a person running the whole show called Videography Club.
And look at the red lines underlining the word videography! It's not even a proper term in the dictionary.
