mere responsibility.
sometimes i feel sad for teckbeng laoshi. especially when he makes the effort to rush through the causeway on fridays to be back in time for choir yet his efforts seemed to be in vain. if you are late because you have work or school, that i can understand. come in 10-15mins late? fine fine. but to be 'fashionably late' ( i use the term very loosely here) is totally unacceptable. how is it that pple can be so cavalier towards a commitment? just because laoshi is patient and nice enough to not name names does not mean that you can just get away with it.
what irks me the most is that it's normally the older ones who are late. how is that a good example for the younger ones to follow? they'll think that it is okay to be late and thus, making a habit to not turn up on time and the vicious cycle continues. oversleeping is not an excuse. you dont oversleep on a workday or schoolday do you? why? because it is a
commitment. then wouldn't sundays be extra important because it is a commitment to God? such disregard for simple responsibility does not reflect well on you, dont even mention dependability. it's even more unbelievable when others can waste other pple's time and laugh it off afterwards, blaming it on reasons that should not even be condoned.
so what if you claim to be irresponsible and yet continue doing it? there's no point in apologising if you dont attempt to rectify the problem isn't it? it just takes a little effort on your part and i dont think it's asking too much of you. give some thought to laoshi when you decide to snooze on a sunday morning. the anxiety he feels when pple dont turn up on time to practice. think of him when you decide that you dont wanna turn up for practice or sunday morning worship. think of the commitment you made to God when you decide to join choir. tardiness is not and will never be acceptable. get that into your head.
