Die-ing! 1 week to dissertation deadline! My brain life has shorten for 10 years because of this stupid piece of work! wtf! I swear I will get a life after this!!£%^$%^&%*&$"%^*&
I know I should be doing my dissertation instead of blogging right now but there's something that I would wanna record down and I don't want miss any single bit of my the thing I am currently experiencing other than my dissertation. I am just going to type what that came into my mind and I could not be bothered to correct any of the grammatical error. wtf.
The whole thing started after 颜色of马来西亚(YY)- MSA largest cultural event. I thought I could finally focus on my dissertation after YY on 19th Feb, but sometimes things happened. Well, it could have been avoided if people look at thing from a different perspective. But unfortunately NOT everyone is steady. Some ppl are just...WTF!
So, here's the story. MSA society hired a car from a person to transport all the food and stuff during YY. Unfortunately, the car run out of petrol. A kind non-MSA member volunteer who has been contributing to MSA all the while, decided to go the the nearest petrol station to buy petrol. Unfortunately being the first timer in buying petrol, this volunteer has no idea which pump is for petrol(though ppl argue this should be common sense), went to ask the worker for his expert advice. However, shit happened! The car broke down and the reason is because diesel was pump into the car instead of petrol. The repair costs around £240. So here's the question, who should be liable? The volunteer or MSA?

I thought it would be unfair for the volunteer to pay everything regardless of whether he is a member or non member. However, some of my committee members argued that it would be unfair to all other volunteers if the money is used to pay for one person mistake and it would be hard to explain during AGM regarding that.WTF! Drama occurred within our board of committee because of this simple little thing which is very disappointing. Due to my close relationship with this volunteer, things get complicated and my flatmate(which is one of the committee) and I were seen as the bias person while stating the reason why MSA should cover the costs. wtf. To avoid all the intense argument keep going on, I decided to use veto power and decided to cover the full repair costs, simply because after consulting so many people about the right, I know what is the right decision to make. I believe that all members will be able to understand this and I am ready to be responsible with the decision I made including paying back the £240 should all members vote against me during AGM. It's just my personality that I do not like to explain much and I will do what I think is the right thing. However, I was being bombarded by most of the committee members for this. No choice, I eventually hold another meeting to explain my decision. I appreciate that my committees are at least sensible to agree with my decision after my I explained.
I believe the whole drama happened is merely due to one outsider who somehow got to know about this incident but do not know about the whole story. When I used my veto power on a committee page which suppose to be a confidential group, one of my committee members showed this to this outsider and he took a picture of it. With his personality, I know he will definitely cari pasal during AGM! But who cares..bring it on! I would enjoy some drama during AGM too.
But what is disappointing is too see my committee members behaving like this. I have been contributing to the society all the while, since the beginning until now, I do not understand why the hell they are so easily influenced by an outsider. Please la, can't you just open your eye and see and judge using your brain? When I was elected as the presi, you guys should not have looked down on my capability. WTF.I will not be so stupid to make a decision just because of some emotional feelings. MSA has organised many good events since the beginning of the year, and if it's not because of the volunteers, MSA is nothing. So when things happened, why are you not there to stand for the volunteer and want him to pay for something that is beyond his control?
When this issue was brought up to all volunteers, none of them sees this as an issue. Nobody complained about been treated unfair because the £240 was used to cover the repair costs. It's sad to see that volunteers are more understanding than the committee and volunteers help without asking for return, whereas us argue among ourselves if we should cover the costs or should it be bear by the volunteer. wtf.

Anyway, it's a good learning experience. Some dramas do spice up my life>.< Not complaining or hating anyone, just a way of telling story. Regardless, I am still cool with my committee members this year and they really do contributed a lot to the society, and I could not have made it without them too. We are still a team and we all work toward the same goal.
