[31st March 2009] [Tuesday]

[Just a little more]

Monday (30th), Our second and final trial-run in the Auditorium. Kept practicing the Day 1 and Day 3 Cue over and over again, wanted to get the perfect coordination. We also saw the EXCO's rehearsal today, their script was good, i guess its something related to the OGLs 09/10. =)

Also had the full dress OGL rehearsal. Some parts were not right again.

Director and Lecturer's not pleased with the Script again. I knew it, and they wanted us to do some edit. Some of the casts were unhappy with the changes. People like me got demotivated again. But the show still must go on.

So worked on script, cue's and remaining props for today, and do a bit of final touch up. Hopefully everything is okay.

Oh! And we managed to finish the TV props.

Speaking of TV props, I want to say Dam you Daniel!! Tricked me today by asking me to hold the cardboard. It has black paint on it =(

Must be CS's idea. =]

p/s: i forgot to mention that Mr/Miss Freshie segment was totally out. how "cool" is that. !@#

Tuesday (31st), We got our shirts and tags for FMO!! So glad to receive them, i used not to be wearing tag around, but with it i surely wear them. Although tags were cheap, but Publication Team really spent a lot of time and countless amount of efforts to designing it. I truly recognised their hardwork. And also having tag means you are really recognised as an OGL, Department members and IC. =)

Didn't attend the final final briefing by zyawn because we need to handle some important stuff. But i knew that lots cried again. Sigh.

Also received Survival Kit for Diploma of Information Security. It really helps as every pieces of information is printed on the thick paper.

Tomorrow is da day!! Good Luck OGLs!! (:

[29th March 2009] [Sunday]

[Super Summary]

Another round of summarizing. Mind you this entry is long.

Monday (23rd), returned school in the morning for regular basis. The moment i stepped in the meeting area i quickly cover my face using my bag. Haha some of them laughed and "Wah" at me. Especially JunHao kept teasing me "Shuai Ge". Hehe okay we both shuai okays? :D

Daniel finally came back from overseas. At least more manpower from now on, and he help out with OGL skit for the moment. Then i applied leave and went to celebrate Jason's Birthday @ KBox Ang Mo Kio with Heaven Team. Daniel (Bellz) and Peiyi (Baba). After so long, we finally get together to sing.

Tuesday (24th), today is quite a tough but fun job. Some of us have to run an errand today! I helped out to buy my Finale items along with some OGLs from Admin, Logistic, and Games Department. So Nigel, Peiqin and I train-ed down to meet the others vivian, xinyi, jingyi, zhaojie and luqman. Afterall, we went to Bras Basah to buy our neccessary items needed. So today is quite a tough shopping because the guys really carried alot of things.

Lunched at Beach Road, then received call from Jie Ying EXCO, asking us to rush back for some important meeting.

Return-ed to school via Cab. Shiokness~ Then Michael and Zerong gathered all OGLs in the proposal room, giving a Buay song face, said that directos are unsatisfied with our performances of the proposals that we gave. Then they called Games Department to go in the room, Michael even slammed the door O_O. Then its our Finale Turn, seriously speaking quite nervous through out.

We were asked to enter the room, it was cold and dark. The lights went on and 5 EXCOs were sitting on the left, 3 EXCOs (vice-president, president, secretary) on the right, the rest at the back. All wearing formal and gave a stern look. There is also classical music which made the whole scene looked dramatic. -.-

We were suppose to stand 2 rows facing them while they browse our proposals and sign on it. Before they even sign, they gave out a lot of mushy speeches, something like "Its your show now, its up to you to make the FMO a successful one". Most of them sounded sincere and seriously the atmosphere really very tense.

What if one of them didn't signed? Quite worried as the proposal is passed on one to another.

Afterall, the EXCOs gave their best wishes to us.

the hardwork all OGLs has put in the proposal

Wednesday (25th), went for second round of shopping today with OGLs to buy the neccessary items because we didn't have time to finish it. So today basically went to look for trophy seller to custom make a trophy for the Finale Mr/Miss Freshie 2009. The group was divided into two part, this time Nigel, Cindy and Me while Zhaojie, Esmond, Peiqin.

After buying the items, we went to Bugis Junction MOS burger to slack and wait for the other team. Then we return to school together. Then completed some of the things, we still have lots of things to do. Gambatte. Diploma Meetings, Department Meetings, IC meetings~ X_X Everytime i see the Agenda for the next day i'll feel very stress. Lots of things crashing our finale trial run but thanks to everyone that accomodates us.

Thursday (26th), we finally had our first Auditorium Trial Run! Today the proposal department are having their Registration Flow at the Atrium and Food Flow from Logistic as usual, and also Games Department trying out their games with other OGLs.

Basically there is time constraint in using the Auditorium, we only get to use for about 5 hours, so we must really make use of the time to rehearse everything.

Rehearsal was very very screwed up. Coordination was very bad, Day 1 Cuesheet didn't flow as well as we expected. But second time was a lot better. But still we need more practice on it.

About the stage rules, lots of people broke it. We've emphasis quite a lot because instructions must be there to follow, if not everything will crash. Even the EXCO ask some people to recite the stage rules.

and Directors were not please with the OGL performance skit. Today was basically a demoralizing day for everyone of us in Finale Department.

look at my shagged face, and firdaus fake smile

introducing four finale crew ICs

programme manager and stage manager firdaus

assistant programme manager sheryl and assistant stage manager galex

After hearing the script was that bad, we decided to do modification to it. So Thomas, Qing Guo, Zhi yong and I went to Jack's house to do the script overnight. I must say it was a fruitful night, script have really turned out to be alot better. Thank you. =)

Friday (27th), slept at Jack's place all the way until 7+am. Woke up and disturb the rest to wake up and get ready to go. So today we went for the Registration Flow again, no choice but we have to follow and get the thing right. After that planned to head to Finale Room first to rest because we were really lack of sleep due to the tonning. Yup, then after lunch, gathered everyone back again to explain about the script.

I'm glad almost everyone love the new script. I was very happy to see every crew and cast working together peacefully this time. Today we have finalized script, props materials, cast members, and costume needed.

And working with WeiXiong with the Skit Cuesheet, feels like exploding already. But i love to work with him =]

Tomorrow rehearsal again in school! Its tiring~ But i won't give up, and you guys too XD

Saturday (28th), came to school a little bit later than the rest. But pretty glad to see that the crews and cast are already working with each other when i came. The casts are great today, some of them already fully memorised their script and lines, i can see some of them are halfway there but trying alot, the effort is there man!

Today my APM (sheryl) was quite demoralised and vexed, tried to cheer her up but really hope she feels better. I know there sure will be problems arised, but we are all here to counter it! =)

Tomorrow is also an important day, making of Props. Hopefully the manpower is sufficient and we can finish all the props by tomorrow. Tomorrow Daniel house at Yishun!! =D

p/s: Guys please bare with this, we are reaching for the destination soon!

Sunday (29th), Today i came late as usual, but i have a reason to do so. Because i last night i doing the Skit Cuesheet all the way until 5.30am. Slept a while, woke up again on 7am and continue to finish up before going to Daniel's place. While Jack and Zhiyong keep on improving with the script.

Saw Thomas while walking in the Yishun MRT, then he asked me to accompany him back to his place to collect some materials, so i followed him back. It was raining cats and dogs, super duper abnormal heavy rain. It was the first time i come to Thomas house, it was typically normal. Chatted with her mom and she gave us Barley drink.

Took cab to Daniel's place and start to make the props. I was super surprised to see most of the props are done and painted nicely!! And also also about 3/4 of the manpower were there to help out!! =D

Remote Control, Universal Remote Control, Britney Axe, Britney Fishing Rod, Britney Spoon, Britney Spears, Orange Cigarette, Vegetarian Cigarette, Fake Snakes, Balloons for Dragon Ball Kamekameha, Ribbons for Fire Aura, Toy Hammer, YES MAN banners, Flash Back Banners, No Smoking Sign, Director Cutboard, Fire, Ah Lian Steam Lizard Banner, Ah Beng Snake Congee Banner, Singapore Idol banner, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Banner, Hairwig.

One word: Done!

We only left with Big Tv Screen, Million Dollar Cheque undone.

vegetarian cigarette :D

qingguo ar stop smoking

jingting also!

Two policeman came to verified with us that we can't have paints stain on the floor and we were suppose to clear it before the next day.

SMS-ed to firdaus told him that most of us did a great job on the props and he was so happy to death. I never imagine that we could finish in almost 1 day time.

I want to thank Daniel for letting us to use his place to do the props and made quite a mess out of it. I want to thank his parents for approval too. =)

Daniel's Papa drove Sheryl, Jingting and me home. Thank you!!

p/s: the big day is coming, be prepared. and its tiring and stress. and thank to everyone for the help.

[21st March 2009] [Saturday]

[Back for more planning]

This seems like an assignment to me! Haha

Anyway let me summarised what i roughly done this week. Still using my super brain power >_>

Monday (16th) came back to school for planning. Very glad that there is an increasing of manpower in my department. Some of them came back from chalet. But those overseas peeps still not back yet. I haven't got to see their faces yet. I had Hong Quan to update me on everything again, because i took leave and work for IT FAIR mah. Then after seeing so much people MIA or cannot commit that much on FMO, Firdaus decided to push my position up to Program Manager. And with Sheryl assisting me as Assistant Program Manager. And some shifting of positions.

Tuesday (17th) continuing with the daily routine. I remembered i can't get up that early for this particular week.

Wednesday (18th), after each day passes, getting more afraid of the outcome. A lot of What If goes through my head. What if we can't get Emcees? What if we can't get cast? What if we can't get Foreign Bodies to help us to instructor dance choreography for Freshies? What if our proposal gets more rejection? What if everything corrupted? Okay, i know i sounded very pessimistic but can't help but to think of this.

Thursday (19th) daily routine. Chances of staying back in school is super high. Sometimes around 9pm off? Alignment, Alignment and more Alignment. Reject, Reject and more Rejection! =[

Friday (20th), we keep re-editing the OGL skit. It was really no much progress and we seems to be stuck! Sucks because we can't really think of a funny performance out. Boring people like me can't possibly think any jokes out. Sucks, still no idea who wants to norminate as Emcees, and Casts. Monday i'll do the recuiting. Cuesheets/Program flow kills. I really felt that Firdaus is so stressed up!! =(

Saturday (21st), had a urge to cut my hair. I wanted to keep it short this time, so last minute went to S4H at suntec to cut. I came in 10 mins before shop closes, really rushed there. Argh the same old stylist came and wanted to cut for me. Actually i wanted the other stylist. But oh well. The bad thing came! He cutted my hair suddenly dam short, and i shouted "OMG! Why So Short?!". I didn't expect to see THIS short. Haiz, but its okay, As long as he won't tamper much with my fringe can le. Anyway my hair grows in a super duper high speed. But for sure, most OGL will shock to see me so short suddenly.

[IT FAIR 2009]

Worked in IT FAIR 2009 for the four days! 12 March - 15 March! I can say its another very fruitful event for me, but sad to say that i didn't enjoy this as much as the previous Comex Fair 2008. But still glad to work with Jane, Thomas, and Honey.

The first day was the worst, only had 1 sale and its with the help from collegue! Big thanks to him and emo-ed first day because i was unsatisfied. Second day i did a bit better 3 sales clinched. Third day, things started to pick up, i got 5 sales sold. And lastly the last day i overdid my expectation. I had 14 sets on that day! =D

After second day the management called honey and tell her that me and her were slacking. We didn't lor, actually got abit, but only like 5%? Low sales doesn't mean slacking okay. We've tried so hard, but to call us slackers is totally unfair.

At the very least, honey did 3rd overall best sales and i also did sell quite a number of sets in the last day. Hopefully we've proved him wrong. And he also said the overall sales was aboved expected. :)

I was quite happy to see so many farmilar faces around my booth! I saw Shirlyn, Pamela, Sin Yee, Daniel, Serene, Mei Ting, ZhaoJie, Stephanie, Nelson, Edwin, Michael, and many many many more to be mention! So glad to see them!! <3

And Shili, Qing Guo, Teresa, Eugene, Nigel, Mervin also came to visit us after work!! Million Thanks for the wait!

p/s: OH YA JANE JIE's 20th BIRTHDAY March 13th oh~! Let's wish her Happy Birthday! =D You're the best! (:

p/s: nigel and jonathan finally met! look alike right?!

[11th March 2009] [Wednesday]

[Tired]

Sorry, i have gotten really tired these days in school. Imagine staying in school every single day from 9am till 7pm or even longer. Doing brain-storming, reports, proposal, alignment, Diploma Meeting, Department Meeting, taking care of every single specific things. Plus Finale Department has so few manpower! Everyday when we report current strength/total strength we only have like 4/11.

zZzz

There is like mainly only Firdaus, Guo Wei (me larh), Qing Guo, and Thomas. The other people either went for chalet, overseas, working. Sigh, at times like this i feel like giving up, especially when the EXCOs rejected so many things.

But its my friends that really kept me going, and of course i won't give up that easily, i need to do this.

Oh yar, i got the position as Assistant Program Manager. Firdaus is my Lao Da Stage Manager. (: Known him from Eagle Camp and he'll be a great great leader. I promised.

Speaking of work, yeah, i'll be having IT FAIR 2009 Dell Direct Job from 12 march - 15 march. I got this job through my friend who really got us in. If he didn't persisted, honey and i really won't get in already. We've tried. I don't know how to say, and what to say, i can only say sorry. Lots of things happened and its not what i wanted it to be. I really hope we are the same as before.

Actually i'm still afraid to do sales job. This will be my second time working for sales and IT fair. Hope i'll be up to it.

Went to job training at Suntec with Jane, Thomas, Honey. Learned a lot of tips and information to give to customer.

[7th March 2009] [Saturday]

[Moodless]

After the drinking, got myself home around 7.30am. Not planning to sleep because i was afraid to oversleep. Remember i still got work.

But was really tired, so i nua at the bed without trying to close my eyes for half an hour. Then i got up again to prepare myself and meet honey for work.

so sad, not enough of sleep.

Then reached Vivocity at 11am. Met honey and then got notice that work starts at 12pm and the work was Standard Chartered, Not M1. I thought it was M1 and 11am to work.

Then went to sky garden to nua with honey. Took piccas and talked alot of things. I said some of my problems to her as well as her problems to me.

When work started, the standard chartered woman security guard passed both of us flyers and gave us a very weird look. It looks like she was laughing at us. Then also heard that shopping centers also cannot give flyers then i really got irritated as if we got cheated. Sooo many false information.

didn't really worked though, give out some flyers, threw away LOTs of flyers, nua-ed at a place again shared things with honey.

honey said i look very irritated, i think it might be lack of sleep plus the things happened yesterday.

After the thing, treated honey for lunch at some Mussel Guy restauraunt. Food are relatively okay.

Then we shopped around, sent her to bus-stop and i went home to sleep like some pig.

Zhaojie got a little tipsy too, his pattern is talking non-stop to many different people! LOL, really speak very fast and non-stop.!! I also very high on that day, a little drunk but not too much, but i emo-ed in the corner thinking of alot of things. Thanks zhaojie for the chats. Hahas =]

[EAGLE CAMPS]

[Day 1]

Right now i'm squeezing every single of my brain juice to blog out events that happened months ago. >.<

Okay so far what i remember was that we have a 2 days of EAGLE CAMPS that was suppose to train us to become a leader. Gain leader-ship skills, made friends through bonding sessions, blah and blah.

The camp started with a super duper long hours of lectures! The event managers kept emphasis on the leader-ship skills and made us do a list of points. Then we played some ice-breaking games and got grouped into groups. Then also presented our ideas in the lecture hall.

Afternoon was slightly better. We had our lunchs in between the lecture theatres and begin to talk with the people in my group (:

Then we had Amazing Race after lunch. This part really tests our strength and weakness in every individual of us and we also really began to know each other more.

Oh ya, the people i remembered in my group was: Firdaus, Joanna, Wei Xiong, Ping Hui, sh!t, i forgot.

Anyway i made some good peeps during day 1 :)

[Day 2]

We came back for the second day of camp. It was a lot better because we really played a lot of physical games / Obstacles with each others.

tiring but yet fun.

and then we went for some briefing and selection of department for the Freshmen Orientation (FMO). We were all officially called Orientation Group Leaders (OGL) and started to plan activities for the Freshies!

p/s: weird that i don't have any picture to post!

p/s: something bad happened which cause me to moodless
