The email was shot out at 3:06 am, Tuesday morning. It said:

"Dear Divers,
As you know, VIVACE is this friday, and we're have gonna have a booth at the concourse from 1pm - 6pm. Since SMUX has been winning best booth almost every year, this year should be no different! Hence, we have came up with this "world" idea for the team's booths, which will most definitely, 100%, spoil market.

So let me let you in on the "world" idea. Basically, SMUX will have 6 booths in total. One for each team, and one registration booth. Structures will be built to form 5 telephone booth sized cubicle. Each "cubicle' will be decorated to represent each team's "world". So in our case, we'll paste pictures of fishies, turtles, seaweed, corals, Sharks and rays on the "walls" of the "cubicle" to create an entire underwater experience. Any other relevant props would be useful too. And if any of you have any other ideas on how to decorate our "world" please please please please please suggest them.

At anyone time, there should be 4 ppl at the vivace booth on friday. This consists of 2 ppl inside the "world" and 2 at the registration booth.

Alright guys, this is the time we should come together as a team to make this happen.
Please make yourselves free on TUES 7pm and THURS 4PM at the CCA ROOM. Do bring a change of clothes as there's lots of painting to be done.

Please reply to JIARONG on your availability for TUES, THURS, and the time slots that you'll be available on FRI.

Jiarong, please help me complie attendence. Thanks.

C'mon guys.....let's built our world together!"

So, I happily replied:

"yup will b there.. But I jus read the email so got no change ofclothes.."

And so I had my classes, went for a brief lunch, met val for a mere moment because I had to rush back to school at 7pm. So I was sitting at the cca room stoning around, wondering why nobody was here even though I already waited a plain hour and it was, obviously, 8pm. Msged a random number of people to find out why, and this was the reply I got:

"I sent u a email tat i cant be there and who will be there."

"Yup but will be late..."

"Yup I'm coming at 9pm"

"I'm actually at another meeting now.."

So of course I got a little puzzled. What then, is this meeting for if everyone doesnt seem to be able to make it at 7pm and if not, why didnt they place it at 9pm instead? So i sent another sms, asking how come the meeting was set at 7pm but no one there. Then I got the reply:

"Excuse me but I have tuition. And I am rushing over when it ends. Shaun and the rest is there already. So are you there or going to be there?"

But no one was "already there". There was no one there and I had waited for 1.5 hours. So feeling rather sick since I hadnt had my dinner yet, I went home.
