There are a lot of things I understand. There are also a lot of things I don't understand. So I hope someone can help me understand the nature of things in this world. Let me list down one thing that I don't understand;
You know, to organize this event with all our partners giving it all; Pretty In White sponsoring gowns, Mr. John W. Ishii giving his time to teach amidst his busy schedule, FotoKrazy.com helping us with all logistics for the Penang and Ipoh Trip, Malaysia Brides.com for supporting us with official forum space, Tommy and I putting everything together in the background, I still cannot understand. Normally an event like this, one would, and should, charge at least a few hundred ringgit, but NO, we do it for RM25.00. We put in our own money, time and energy. We spell out our terms and conditions CLEARLY. And yet, and YET, AND YET, why do some people treat us like we are just, oh, "another RM25.00 function, it's nothing lar". Like Scrooge said in - A Christmas Carol; "Bah! Humbug!". Well then, I would like to see anyone get into a photographic workshop with one of the "Renowned Malaysian Photographers" and see if you can enroll yourself for a RM25.00 Workshop. Bah! Humbug! Again, people are so discourteous. I still cannot understand. No call, no sms, no email .... NO NOTHING AGAIN!!! AARRGGHH!!!
The Return Of The Laughing Man ..... Again!
Why are people so discourteous?
Why are people so discourteous?
Please someone explain to me why we should bother continuing with our prewedding community project when we give it our all and yet some people treat us like this .... *sigh*......
make life easier by not bothering about those who does not give a damn about you. we made it a success didn't we? smile more, live longer. praise those who attended, cherish the outcome.
ReplyDeleteFor me its ok, but its the principles that count. There were many Photographers who wanted to attend. This person just "took up space" and didn't even bother to call. We had 3 PG's who actually bothered to keep me informed of their intentions ... but no, this one couldn't be bothered. In the Malaysian PG community, I have been told, this happens very often and I know John hates it when people say something and do the direct opposite. I do too.
ReplyDeleteBut I am happy you guys and gals that came are happy. At times, it really feels like I am fighting a losing cause. If you go through so much hassle, don't you think that you will be upset too?
yeah i think i'll be really upset especially planning these events that does not benefit me in any ways. it is really frustrating when someone broke a promise that meant a lot to you. what to do, things happen.
ReplyDeleteBingo. So its the principles that count. I especially hate it when people do not even bother with some courtesy. Is that so hard to ask? Ha ha ha ....
ReplyDeleteHotel Station Master,
ReplyDeleteno worries, we will keep up to our words to post & publish those who does not keep to their words.
I would say it was definitely not fair to the ones who really really wanted to attend but we had to reject.
why why why??? there's supposed to be an exmpty seat for my passionate photographer friend to join!!!
ReplyDeletei could have attended if i knew there was an empty seat!!! why oh why....
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry guys, but this is really something beyond our control. Its just that there are people who perhaps, think of us as, cheapo RM25.00, event.... ar well. Most important is you guys enjoyed the event.
ReplyDeleteGood day Lloyd, wish you guys dont juz stop there.. it has been a GREAT experience..!
ReplyDeleteA very very much thanks to You, Tommy, Tommy Sou for the effort on this event, John for the tips, sponsors and the couples. You all made this a successful event and we njoy every single min on it.
