IF there is one thing i am good at....it is voicing out my complaints ;) Oh damn i rock at it!! Lol. ANd if i have to...damn i'll make one hell of a speech out of it. Lol.
I complain because i trust.
Because i trust YOU musa i voice out my complaints so that you can take actions. I trust you to rectify these problems i see.
Because i trust i pass this baton to you.

Neways here's the mail i sent to my biz rep...
[a glimpse of the havoc i'm causing in uni these days...]
Hey Mr yin...
You going to the council meeting tomorrow? If you do, tell them they suck. Lol. Joking. I do believe they know.
Tell them 2 things:
1. Stop making ripples. Time to make waves. Make their presence felt. You can do nothing if the students know shit bout you. Don't go hide in your comfy lil offices and campaign like you did when you guys were trying to win our votes over.
Tell them to read Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. It's available for loan in the library. Basically the book is on how one can learn to spread messages that stick, make an impact.
2. MVO suck. What MVO does is wait for feedbacks. Feedback comes in, you people do something but the point is we know nothing bout what you people are doing. Say, when you sms and the receipient doesn't reply... how does it feel?
You people post those complaints in musaonline or so i heard but no one checks musaonline anyway. It's not that user friendly btw. You people told me meeting minutes are in the site but well i can't seem to find it. If people can't find it, no point it being there right? Makes no difference.
The site management needs improvement. That's point 3.
A lil bit more on point 2. People like feedbacks cos its informative. You people want feedbacks. We people want feedbacks on our feedbacks. Have you ever notice how students crave for feedbacks from their tutors when asked to answers questions?
They'll look at him/her while answering the Q in question and sometimes ask them whether they are in the right track. It's normal and it's human.
And lastly, MUSA is a confusing term. Monash University Students Association. These 4 words yes.
The question is, who's in it? When people refer to MUSA, they are referring to the council members but MUSA is the whole student population in Monash or did i get that wrong? You people are MUSA council members right not MUSA.
Omg, i've not even started on Silver Wings yet... After looking at the ad,i have a very rough idea on how it works, some sort of points collection like loyalty card stuff i think. Collect X points and you get this, Y points and you get that... Makes me feel so housewife. But silver wings is MUCH more challenging than that as you have to beat 49 people to it. Sounds like a mad race to the finish line :P
And the forms are available at the MUSA council office which is hidden in a place far beyond reach of ordinary students. What a place to place those forms. Well, since it's limited to 50 people only, i do think it's a wise move, less people would get their hands on those forms and less problems of people complaining bout not being among the 50 fortunate people who can participate. Is this not the idea?
The idea is to increase participation. Invite interesting people to give talks then. Easy? I attended a talk by CIMA and it's a spin-off my lectures. I know CIMA is all about management accounting and i AM taking that particular unit this semester... but i did not expect it to BE LIKE a lecture for goodness sake.
Damn. I have 4 points or 5 when i really want to limit myself to 2. I cannot go to council meetings cos i'll be cursed for stretching the meetings an hour or so longer! It is very out of place for me to do that for i am no council member.
Get half my points to your people and i'll get you a lolli. If you can't make it to the meeting yourself or whatever, let this be part of the complaints forwarded to MVO then.
Handing out survey forms to students in the computer labs for this year's ball theme is a bad idea. Tell one of the activities officers bout this...er...what's her name... 3 of em...And an exotic Arabic night is a bad idea for the theme. Bombarding us with survey forms in the comp lab is wouldn't work, when you're in the comp lab, you have work to do, whatever it is. An occupied mind can't be bothered with stuff like that. Well, they had me guards down when they handed those forms, the choices were so hard as i do not like any particular one...
Just submit this to MVO on second thought. Too lengthy and too many points d. No name must be revealed though. I am tired of phonecalls from musa people.
Thanks a million.
Ok la...maybe i AM indeed to damn idle d...lol ;P
