System of Irony
"Believe the truth..."It's been ages since I've blogged. But somethin that happened recently and the feedback I've been gettin abt it has called me into action.
TP RAWKS
Or more precisely the Jam & Hop. I dont know if word has gotten around yet but in case you haven't heard, it was a mess. There was a killer performance. There was an under-capacity venue. There were TP students left locked out.
Speaking as a student, I cant help but feel it was unfair on so many levels. We can kid ourselves and say it was for security reasons and to keep the peace. But nevertheless... It doesn't change the fact that IT WAS UNFAIR. Face it! TP Students, our friends, who have been anticipating the event with all the hype stirred up by its publicity were left wanting and betrayed. Who's decision was it? A bunch of so-called "Grown-Ups" in our school Corporate Comittee. They may have won over the Rawkers but they have lost so much more...
Speaking as a member of TPSU, I have drawn quite abit of flak from my friends. Especially those who were actually outside TCC. Some were quick to show me their dissapointment. Some even went so far as blaming TPSU for not doing anything. But... I can understand how they feel. Perhaps they were quite emotional after the whole ordeal. It's forgivable.
Yet... It left me thinking...
"Managed by Students, For Students"
But what did we do for them that night? There could have been more we could have done... We SHOULD have done more. Maybe we do deserve the blame... The impression my friends have left me today was that the trust that the students had for us has been shaken. The fault was not entirely ours but... We're the ones that the students could actually take a swing at. Something has to change... We need to make it up to them in some way.
Wow... It's really late. I need a lil sleep to cool my head. Mebbe I'll blog abt happier stuff next time around. Alot of pics are overdue for posting too....
Ciao~
