Meeting #908

Double Celebration

A Double Celebration

Meeting #908 closed out 2023 with a “双旦” mood: Christmas, the New Year, and December birthdays all sharing one cheerful evening. The planning chat quickly turned into a food-and-craft thread. Someone hoped to “eat this Xmas tree together,” while others debated whether the homemade decoration was a real tree cake, a carrot-and-apple base, or simply a colourful work of edible art. The verdict was practical and enthusiastic: “经济又环保” — economical and eco-friendly.

Speeches, Choices, and Life Questions

The prepared programme moved from lessons in organizing a 20th-anniversary event, to the courage to “Make A Wrong Choice,” then to “The purpose of life” and a persuasive turn toward “Anxiety and Raspberries.” Together, the titles suggested a natural year-end progression: look back at shared work, rethink decisions, ask what matters, and find an unexpected angle for persuasion. The agenda was completed through steady teamwork, with roles filled, slides requested, and a guest timer stepping in when needed.

Tuesday, Cake, and Club Memory

The evening’s funniest exchange came before the meeting, when someone asked whether it was really Tuesday; another replied, “哈哈,今天周一~,” sending the traveller into a moment of panic before the group corrected course with “周二周二周二.” Afterward, birthday wishes, a video, and “历史老照片” kept the celebration going. For the record, #905 and #906 both show December 12 and appear to be two numbers for the same gathering, not separate meetings.
