Alright Alright as requested heres another post. :) Ok..this time would be serious matter no more scandals...or jokes?(perhaps)... Ok..the sec1s have been in NPCC for roughly... 5months? sec2 1year 5mths? sec 3 2year 5mnths and sec 4 3years 5mths?? So lets talk about the most common misunderstanding that we face in NPCC and your personal life.. that would be MISCOMMUNICATION. Miscommunication meaning delievering the wrong message to the reciever. I believe that everyone would have some experience of miscommunication rite? For sec 2-4 I believe there are in NPCC...for the sec1s perhaps not in NPCC but in your personal life... So now i am going to talk about how we can improve our communication in NPCC Ok...lets begin with a seneario of a miscommunication from a recent tag from Cadet Leader Joveina and Cadet Inspector Ong Kok Hao and Cadet Inspector Lim Kay Yong... it began...roughly 1 week shortly after the new skin has been up...
18 Jun 08, 12:21 JOVEINA: OMGOSH.. THE SONG IS JUS SOOOOOO "NICE"
18 Jun 08, 14:35 kok Hao: of coz 'nice' you dont like it you can off ur speaker...
18 Jun 08, 22:15 KayYong: yea...you can off ur speaker provided that kok hao made the right assumption that you have a speaker.. lol btw u only hear the song today? you took so long to download meh??
18 Jun 08, 22:17 KayYong: sry my bad for making assumption...perhaps is your brain took 1 week to process the song?? KayYong: sorry another bad assumption perhaps you are just bragging about your new SPEAKER w/ surround system and sound reduction system....
18 Jun 08, 22:22 KayYong: lol...let us all CIs stop making an ASS out of U and ME (assume)
End of story
Ok here we have Joveina talking about the background music of the song being nice...(although we all know that but she just feels like stressing it again) Her opinion is very vague... She said that it is "nice" so what is nice about it? The meaning of the song? The tune? or perhaps her new speaker? Ok...looking at this into npcc context right often we tend to pass down vague information also like "Ok everyone go fall in" then everyone fall in at wrong place because the place to fall in is not stated.. and stuffs like that.. If we want to say this we can say that its the fault of the person giving the information because he is not giving sufficient information for the cadets to do the things he wants...or we can also say that its the cadet's fault for not asking for more information..and they assume a place for themselves to fall in. BUT standing at the point of view AS the Welfare CI, its nobody's fault, the person giving the instruction may have forget to say the location to fall in....and the cadets may have forgotten to ask where to fall in also or they find a place to fall in based on their past expereience(giving everyone the benefit of the doubt) Back to the main topic, we shouldnt assume things... just like in the story... CI Kok Hao assumed that Joveina is using a speaker and asked her to off her speaker and CI KayYong made even much more assumption....BUT WHAT IF SHE IS USING A EARPHONE or SHE HAS JUST BEEN OFFING HER AUDIO system until yesterday?.... there~ thats why we shouldnt assume... Back in NPCC context...we also always assume what the others think... This is because we are not taking the initiative to ask when we are unsure of what to do in other words plain lazy or not planning well enough to predict what are the instructions needed to be given so as to reduce miscommunication... SO...i know that the message doesnt seems very clear and good..but well... the most important message is still "Ask if you are unclear of anything, do not make an ASS out of U and ME" We will always be there to help you and we wont scold or anything if you all asked politely and nicely :)
