Away in a manger, no crib for a bed...

This Sunday there will be a preview of one song from the Christmas piece. Since its just a sneak peek, we agreed to just dress normal. I suggested we all wear jeans, then there'd be some kind of uniformity.

The idea was immediately kicked out, and one of the reasons was "we want the choir to look like a choir."

What the squat? The current outfit we are wearing is so off and not at all 'choir-like' in my opinion. You say that jeans are a no no, but flowery wrap around skirts (the kind worn on the beach) are okay? To me they're at the same level.

When the decision to wear the skirts was made, i didn't get involved and accepted it, so i've no right to complain. But i was told next time i should speak out and voice my opinion blah blah... So i did that, and i knew it was no point, cause straight away a no, even though at least half prefered jeans.

I dont mind my idea being rejected, but to say no outrightly and things like, "dont look like a choir" and shaking a disapproving head like i said something so wrong. That i do not like. I fail to understand why wearing jeans would be seen as disrespectful, or not proper. I dont like it when things are automatically turned down with the "holy answer" but no explanation. Who set the church dress code anyway? What if i dont have 'formal' wear for the preview and what if all i had were jeans. Extreme example but, what if?

Aanother thing that irked me. If i didn't have or couldnt find the outfit, i was told "Go and buy lah..!" Yup, money grows on trees. It never crosses anyone's mind that its not so easy for others to just spend money ya know...Taken for granted that ''sure, everyone can afford to buy wat.." And put in that way, no person that couldn't afford to, would dare say so.

Someone told me its supposed to be a consensus choir.

Righttttt.


ps: I apologize for the grumbles. Who cares anyway, after all- its just clothes.
