loss of tradition

wanted to post this on 23 nov, when the last batch of interns were supposed to leave, but... things happened.... so...

was really disappointed at this feeble pair. don't get me wrong, it was never anyone's intention to "tekan" the interns or embarrass them or humiliate them.

i want to believe that our company culture in scrawl is that of a fun and relaxed environment, where people remember us for the crazy things that we do, and most importantly, how we can laugh at ourselves

that day, i just felt that this whole spirit was totally destroyed. other than being part of our "tradition", i think this is how we remember our interns by. whenever we recall the way felicia was "conned" into singing us a CNY song, or how kar fai danced to moulin rouge, or how impressive wushan's kungfu kicks were, it would put a smile on all our faces. now when we think about the 2 of them, we can only sigh

i guess i was exceptionally disappointed because i happened to walk to the MRT with the 2 interns one evening, and i told them how impressed i was with my colleagues at scrawl, when they were grouped together only 1 afternoon and had that same afternoon to put together an item for Scrawl IDOL at Krabi. Not only did everyone do it sportingly, i dare say they did a VERY impressive job, given the amount of time and resources they had. once again, SUPERB job! well done, pple!

that's why i was very disappointed that day.

we lost a chance at creating good memories
we lost an opportunity to laugh at ourselves
we lost a part of who we are
we lost a part of our tradition

my only hope, is that we do not lose hope, in finding back who we are
