The saga of the banner

I assume many would have seen the new odac banner hung up high. physically, the flag was high. In monetary terms, it was high too. Today, Mr Goh found out about the cost of the banner. He thought it $100. But we didn't tell him it was $111.80. The reason? Our treasurer lost the receipts. Anyway, Mr. Goh claimed that the banner was painted in broken english, not pleasing to the eye, without pictures, just words. He feels that the Team Excellence Banner is better than ours. Oh gosh. Does he even know aesthetic appeal? According to one of the ART student in SRJC, Marcus Liew, he claims that all the designs shu makes are absolutely beautiful and nice. I think so too.


Yeah, and he doesn't want to use the ODAC funds because he thinks it is wasteful. The cost is too high. he says he will only reimburse $30. Because that was the price Yvonne quoted us. Apparently she doesn't know how much a banner costs. So, $30 bucks? fine. I actually didn't even want the $30 from ODAC funds. Because, since you are so unwilling and he says he's not gonna use the banner for next year, fine! i don't really fuckin mind about it. THe 16th batch can pay for it man. I'm not pissed or dissed or what. just that i feel that at least he should appreciate shuming's and my efforts in painting the big banner. We squated for one damn day and cleaned up the place. And what did he say?



"its ugly."
