Outing on 16th

The outing yesterday was quite fun and enjoyable, right?

However, some has failed to realised that it was supposed to be a CO-OUTING. A JUNIOR/SENIOR outing.

And that's where the problem lies.

This CO-OUTING was supposed to be something like a junior/senior bonding session right? Like a get-to-know-you-better session. And perhaps a Q&A session.

But the thing is, we didn't really talk. Or chat. Or communicate. Which is personally, what I was looking forward to.

As seniors, when we ask you a question right, we would really rather get a reply instead of like some giggles, smiles, and then you go into hiding or something. Cos we're really not that scary and intimidating right?

We understand that you might be shy to talk to us or something cos we still have this age gap of 2 years but the thing is that when we ask you something and you don't answer we feel embarrassed also.

Since we're the seniors, we're supposed to take initiative to guide you and stuff, but since we aren't that much older than you we would of cos also feel shy and hesitant about talking to you, so we also need to muster up some courage to actually try and start a conversation.

In the end, the outing wasn't much of a bonding session right? The juniors and seniors stuck together, and we seniors are also partly responsible for this scenario, I admit that we never really put in much effort to communicate with you and stuff. It might as well have been 2 separate outings by 2 different groups of people.

So I hope that next time, and I really really hope for a next time, if/when we have another co-outing together, then we can really chat and stuff. You can really ask us anything, like ANYTHING, from studies to choosing schools to emo-ing to worrying about PSLE and yeah. We'll help.

But it's good that most(if not everyone) enjoyed this outing and liked it.

love, (yes, LOVE)
