Disappointed

Christmas celebration will be in a while's time.. I was pretty much looking forward to the pot-luck party before yesterday. However, i was really demoralized by those SMSes i received.

First SMS:
"I will not be cooking the pasta anymore cos i'm busying and rushing with my fyp."

Thoughts:
You can always buy and contribute at least a little since everyone has got project and things to busy with. Everyone made the effort so not not excluding you.

Replied from her:
"Why can she say one word, 'i've got fyp/dinner' den she can be excused from a bdae celebration and i don't see christmas more important than a bdae celebration"
"Pot-luck supposed to be different items contributed by different people why are there people sharing one dish?"

Thoughts:
You are the one suggested pot-luck and u said u r not bringing anything, it's unfair to all. Then why are u reprimanding others who are trying to contribute?

Replied:
Since that is the case i'm going to give the party a miss. I didn't force anyone to take my idea.

End:
So be it. I'm not going to compromise with you this time round.

Second SMS:
"Why am i and the other gal cooking the main dish when we haven choose the dish we wanted to cook yet?

Replied:
That day when we are planning everyone shouted out what they wanted to cook, i was the last to pick the dish too since they have limited skills to cook the dish, i'm preparing the dish they wanted too.

Thoughts:
I'm not trying to push the 'hardest' dish to both of you. But we have shortage of filling food, i asked if both can prepapre one dish for everyone since i'm already preparing sandwiches. I'm diappointed by the words she said. I thought she would be most supportive in terms of our plans. Understood both are busy with other things, spare a thought for me. I appreciated hui's effort, who prepared for the pot luck even though she's not going to be there. Thanks.

We have been friends for so long, i understand for the tight schedule we have, but why can't we just compromise and take things easier so that everyone especially the event planners have a ease of mind? We made the effort to plan for those who are busy, i really expect my friends to follow and support us. Simple?

Felt really dishearten by all sorts of comments, before you are voicing out ur comments, i would really appreciate you could think before you speak. I'm not specially pointing to someone so no offence.

Tonight's party will be a success no matter what, don't mess it up people.
