When Ignorance is Bliss

We don’t understand why anyone would want to know more, more and more; not when we think that the happiest fans are the ones who are the simplest and know the least.

Ironically, I always get into trouble after refusing to know more than what I think I should; yet so many are trying to know more than what we think they should.

As we live in this era with such accessible information, have we been overloaded by information, and have our thirst for information grown to beyond satiation?

When you think that you are happier if you know more, chances are you are wrong. Because when you get unhappy for not knowing more/enough, the real bliss is when you do not desire to know more.

Think about it, before you start asking for more again.

I thought we are in this together.

And the sentence hit jackpot, it’s absolutely true.

“I” is first and foremost, and “together” is always the last consideration.

Think about it. Which is your first consideration?

Not so much that it’s a loss

But more so of it being the dent destroying all possible “perfections”.

We will be back, stronger, more united and better.

Can’t avoid the disappointment but there were people who brought us smiles in this whole process, and these are the things we ought to remember instead :)

There are some of you..

There are some of you, who make us feel that we are in this together.

And there are some of you, who make us feel that we are in this alone.

To the second group, we are not asking you to go out of your way but it can be an action as fuss-free as informing us of something you know and we don’t. That much, that little.

To the first group, whether it is a note, a word of concern/encouragement, help when we need it, support when we require it, some of you go out of your way, even those who don’t, we appreciate it. That much, that significant.

Traversing The Road Less Traveled, Lux Veritas. I think we missed out a word in the slogan. The word is – Together.

Complacency

Sometimes I wonder why am I doing so much. But other times, I make myself and my comm do so much.

Just can’t afford to be complacent.

I hope you would do more.

Yea, I hope you would do more.

If you had benefited from the existence of RBKD,
If you had made friends you cherish because of RBKD,
If you have had fun because of RBKD,
If you just wanna tell everyone how their presence matters,
then perhaps you should consider doing something to show your appreciation.

And I mean something out of your heart and not out of your pocket..

Can someone join me in the excitement?

From a nick to a name.

See Me Not. Originally a nick I created to represent how I wanna be seen, or rather, not seen in RBKD. But as I hopped back to the good old nick – Snail, See Me Not ceased to be used.

And increasingly Seemenot, or SMN as many of you now refer to as, has become synonymous with this blog. Isn’t this branding in the making without any deliberate attempts?

I’m never a marketing student (except for 1 module), but I believe that marketing is in my blood.

Isn’t it interesting that SMN no longer represents me but my blog now instead?

I want OUR Bash.

I want to have fun, fun and more fun.

I want to say “Happy Birthday” to everyone; I want to be there; I want to be there earlier with everyone; I want it to be OUR bash; I want everyone to be the reason why it would be so damn fun.

If this is the one and only FC Bash I will attend in my life, I wanna have one that I will remember even when I am old and senile. But it is not about what I want, but what you want, what everyone wants; if everyone would be there, be fun and have fun.

Will you?

Can’t we just be ourselves?

Well, that’s the question my comm would pose to me at times (sometimes, I would question myself that too).

Honestly, it’s not that easy to organise a gathering/Bday Bash for the club, especially if it’s by the comm. There are people watching and it’s very different when the organisers are the comm ourselves. My expectations, for one, would be different.

I like to observe and read up about gatherings by other FCs, as a form of learning (this President of yours is not very inexperienced with FC matters la..). But I gotta admit that being competitive in nature, I don’t like to be outdone. And I’m beginning to wonder if our hush-hush nature is the reason why we are so under-reported.

So my next step? To make our “Club” page more engaging for others to understand us better.

后继无人

Someone asked me this question, rather, these questions. Okay, maybe not just someone but sometwothreefours.

“I wonder if RBKD will survive if you are not around.”
“I wonder if RBKD can survive if your comm is not around.”

My answer? Why not you guys tell me instead? 1 single email offering to be the bash’s OC and 1 other email offering help, you tell me what the answers should be.

Preview?

I guess one of the privileges of visiting SMN is that you get to preview pages that might one day be on the website itself. If you were wondering where the “Club” page is, it has been moved to [here].

I have intentions to expand our wallpapers collection. So notice the additional page above?

It’s 3, not 30.

Are you guys quite sure you guys misunderstood the whole IPC thingy? It’s 3 IPCs, not 30. Why are you guys so enthu about it? Be it in organising or attending one (I think it’s not just one but two three four five?), you guys are so spontaneous that none of us (Xaby, Bee and Me) anticipated this.

I was tempted to question if you guys truly understood IPC when I realised, of course you guys did. Because only people who understood could appreciate and will participate actively in that.

IPC is not even nice on papers, but you guys made it a scheme we are so damn proud of. Thanks for understanding, for accepting and for embracing IPC. And thanks for all your participation, I hope it doesn’t stop here :)

The PJs Night!

I LOVE my RBKD!!!

No forfeit, no incentives, but everyone changed into their PJs or sorts. And hello? Many in their PJs made their debut appearance in a RBKD activity. Damn on sia!

Class Club formal photo!!! Damn funny la.
 

Grace the water ghost; with Xaby and I attempting to be a headless
ghost. Look at the rest! Jokers!
 

I think ZF and Jon looked so comical! Haha. And so the “length”/height of Xaby = the “width” of 4 pax? Haha.
 

Bee looks cute hor, that small Tigger. And don’t you think the trio behind her (ZF, Jolie and Kaevan) looks like they are posing for some movie poster? Kaevan is making a call, Jolie is the bread murderer, ZF is the cool assassin. Funny!

Our guns don’t point inwards.

Police around the world have different objectives, but they don’t kill each other.

I wanted to post this before the chalet, but I was so busy with the preparatory work that I couldn’t.

I just wish to tell everyone that, our guns should not and must not point at each other.

No matter if you dislike anyone, you know that the guns should not aim inwards and we should cooperate in one way or other. Because just as the police around the world believes in upholding justice, we believe in protecting and doing things that’s for the good for someone you know who. This is why we are willing to be toilet brushes, to clean shit and still be disliked.

Take care of yourself.

Those who played with water yesterday, please please please take note of your own health. I’m really scared that you girls will catch a cold.

And everyone else, even if SOMEONE didn’t bring lozenges last night, please get yourself some. If you are like me and you don’t eat lozenges, try Manuka Honey, I swear by them :D

And please have a nice cosy sleep. Thanks for being there!

Don’t blame me if you chose not to come.

Truth is, I was only informed of her attendance on Wednesday.

Truth is, I didn’t let anyone else including Bee and Xaby know about it.

Truth is, among all others I have organised,  this is the very first gathering that she has attended.

Truth is, I’m more used to her absence than presence.

Truth is, she was always busy with filming in the previous gatherings I organised, and I rather she was filming yesterday too.

And truth is also that, we will never use her as a tool to attract participants or to hike up price to fund the club with the profit like what other FCs does. (Perhaps this is something I should learn from other FCs? Forsake quality so that the club can profit from it?)

And lastly, truth is, I have never stopped anyone from joining us, you made your own choice, your own decision. “Reward” awaits those who are sincere. Too bad for those who had to leave earlier though.

33.

Woah. Are we so fated with that number? Well, on last count, that’s my expected total turnout for the chalet. Quite a feat isn’t it? Especially since we can’t even confirm her attendance. Thanks everyone, really, thanks.

BTW if I sounded too harsh in my earlier post, I apologize for that. I just need to get the message through and Fish Monger was too sleepy to write in a nicer tone. No worries :)
