As the acting alumni chairman..i'd successfully initated 2 new members formally into the club today - 10 & eggy! *applause pls*
Unlike a initiation ritual i went recently(which involved raw eggs..whole), it was a fairly simple ceremony - eating prata at the very same kopi tiam..anyway, we decided tat this kopi tiam makes for quite a good gathering spot since it's 24hrs.. thus able to accomodate our supper timings..& also, it's within a 2 mins walk to a massage place(very popular activity among alumnis & alumnis-to-be)
Over iced milos & pratas..the 2 of them confessed to be suffering from 'office withdrawal symptoms'..apparently they still cant accept the fact tat they r no longer required to report at the office which seemed more like home on so many occasions over the past 5 or 6 years..both had celebrated their last day together..and immediately the day after, they had smsed each other for comfort & support..10 got it so bad she actually went back to office today..
So, it was proposed tat a counselling session be arranged for future new members..& both had kindly offered to be the counsellors & after a 'trial' session, i'd appointed them with immediate effect..though i would recommend members to go to 10 as first choice(chairman will act as backup)
Being the conscientious members, we'd drawn up the list of current alumnis..& gasp! it came up to almost 30..& these are people we all know first degree, ie. know them personally..not just 'heard' of this ex-officer while flipping thru the blue files..
The next task on hand is to settle on a means of communication..internet groups? forums? club blog for members? Any suggestions anyone?
