it all happened yesterday night, when clara from RnM sms-ed me, asking me whether did i or did my students see the studio tshirts on the reception table when we left. they found out that the tshirts were missing when they were unpacking their stuff.
this matter spread like wildfire, and the emergency panic button is pressed, and everybody started to react, in a very panicky manner, because of the tshirts.
after clara sms-ed me, kenny sms-ed me to ask me about the tshirts. and after i replied the same stuff to kenny, xiaoyun also sms-ed me, asking me about the tshirts, and i have to reply the same thing again. my fingers did alot of exercise and nearly had blisters.
so after much discussion with clara, we concluded that the tshirts were either misplaced somewhere, or they were placed in the trash bags and disposed as rubbish at the workplace's rubbish point.
we straight away eliminated the possibility of the audience taking away the tshirts because the audience are the dancers' good friends and family members. we strongly believe that the good friends and family members will never put the dancers in a difficult position.
we decided to go to the workplace at 7 am to check the trash bags. the trash bags are definitely still intact because nobody goes to the workplace on sunday to clear rubbish, and it is a christmas eve so i also doubt that the cleaners will come and clear the rubbish so early.
i was late and reached the workplace at 705 am. clara and bin ge ge were already there. another dancer (her name is kerrie) was also there, together with her mum. and they already found the tshirts, in one of the trash bags!
this incident touched my heart, because of the two kids' utmost responsibility, in finding back the stuff that they misplaced. special mention goes to bin ge ge, as well as kerrie's mum, who love kerrie and fetch her from yio chu kang to tampines, and find the tshirts together. this is the ultimate collaboration of stakeholders: the parent, the children, the trainer and the teacher.
and of course i need to mention mr derek seong, who yesterday night pressed the emergency panic button, and insisted clara and kerrie not to go to the workplace to find the tshirts, only because he dun want to trouble his students, and he wants to find them on his own. he also went to the workplace this morning, but reached there later than us, only to discover that the tshirts were already found and his students disobeyed him, because their responsibility overrided his instruction.
i strongly believe that the troupe will go far, because of the responsible young ones.
the trump card of any workplace, organisation or country is actually the younger generation, who will hopefully surpass the older generation, and lead their home, the place where they truly belong, to greater heights.
