Apparantly ying ying also kinda faced the same situation tt i face for my mktg project. juz tt hers was 2 grpmates who MIA and made her wait for 1.5hours. total of 5 grp mates, one turned up ath at least called to say not coming.
My case was each time i called her, her reasons were:
1) huh... it's my free day...
2) i have to work...
3) i have project meeting b4 tt, but i will try to make it if i can
4) erm... i'm not feelin well
at first she sed, "nvm, juz tell me wat to do, i will do it and send it to you all."
well, let's juz say i gave her the benefit of the doubt and told her wat to do for her part (but by then my grpmates and i alr had a STRONG sneakin feelin tt she wun do anything so we alr did EVERYTHING).
FYI, i informed her the week before tt we were meeting. and she told me tt she will come down even tho it's her free day. in fact each time i all got inform her via sms/msn of our meetings.
den during second last meetin (wed) before our actual presentation on fri, she called to say she cannot meet us coz she will very ill. so i told via sms her, "nvm, since you are so ill, juz upload wat you have done for your part into our ivle community since i still got time to add her part into the report.as for your part in the presentation, juz do the introduction" she then replied "huh?! but i tot i was supposed to do the research for question 2 and 5? i dunno anything abt the introduction leh izzit found on page 284 and 285?"
den i replied, "yeah" and continued to ask her about uploading her research for question 2 and 5 juz in case she really did her part and in order not to waste her effort, i can still add in...although it was alr wed. however... she did not reply my sms and did not upload also and did not send to my email also.
she then proceed to propose meeting us all on thurs 2-4pm to run thru our presentation. but we either have lessons or plans alr. so too bad. we can't meet her.
anyway, she really did her slides and send them to me on thur around 1 plus pm (when i was having lessons), SURPRISE SURPRISE!! so i was hopeful tt she will turn up for the presentation itself. but i when i was complaining to my frens online about havin to change the layout and formatting of all the slides and the fact tt i have to do not 1 but TWO version of our presentation (in case she turns up and in case she nv turn up) she called me at... 11plus pm to tell me, "eh... hi... this is (her name)... erm... is there anyway to push the whole grp's presentation to next week? (an impossible thing to do coz our tutorial lessons is only held on even weeks) i dunno if i can make it for tml's presentation coz i'm ill and i have MC..."
so i told her, "erm... it alright, if you are ill, juz pass us/the tutor the MC, we will still go ahead with the presentation and yeah ,we are using your slides (2 only out of her 9 slides, which i have no idea why i still bother to use/add it in although i suspect she will not turn up)."
her reply, "huh?... den... wat about... ... me?" wah... then i really pengz lor... y shld we bother abt you when you nv bother abt the report and nv do ANYTHING and never up for ANY meetings?
anyway, she asked for the tutor's email and i gave her (but i dunno if she got the correct email address given tt it was sed over the phone) den she told her tt she will inform me tml if she can make it. (note: tt still means tt i have to do 2 versions of the presentation slides)she still had the cheek to write in her msn msg, "MARKETING SUCKS"
my frens have concluded tt it's perhaps due tot he different culture of tt particular fac coz it's not required of them to attend tutorials which leads them to dun attend other fac's tutorials too bah.
okie. these are the main highlights of my exciting "grp member" although there are still other incidents...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lesson 1: i'm gullible
lesson 2: i give ppl too much benefit of the doubt
lesson 3: (from my other mktg grp mates) wah, you so free to sms her ah? (... ...)
lesson 4: avoid being the co-ordinator of events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
anyway, despite my rantings, i see some her in me. although i hate to admit it. but yeah. i'm a bit like her. last sem's micro econs and legal, i did not know what is goin on so everything all my grpmates do. even the bulk of the presentation. i only did the minor minor parts.
but at least i turn up for meetings and dun leavin my grpmates hanging. (erm... tt's a redeemin pt right?)
this sem's MA i also nv do anything much. everything all throw to lao pa or old man to do. hai...*ashamed* my stats grp too~~~ SOBZ...
muz reflect on myself... :(
