A Lot of Responsibilty Fulfilled!!
Dear diary,
First and foremost, it has been a kinda tiring week with FOC performance plus Undangan plus Challenge Shield 5 plus Pesta Pantun performance juggled wif relief teaching and tuition for 3 kids.. * slumps on the chair just by the mere thought of it * Well, i shld also add that all have been very very worth my time cos in a way or another, has helped me improve myself, learn new things and help others.. Makes life meaningful for Hanan..
(Challenge Shield V)
Well, well, my first ever big event and me being in the comittee as programmes and logistics APD was sure as hell not that easy a job!! Firstly, i dont haf that many people under me as i didnt haf the persuasive powers to get people to join me in this noble effort.. hahaaha but thanks to Shabz n Raihan n Haekal for their kindest assistance in all they haf done for this event!!
I knew it was going to be a great event but the challenges we faced right up to the day prior to the event had reallie placed doubts in my head!! hahaha thankfully, wif nani, yusuf, hafezah and nunu being the strong individuals that they are, we pulled thru and the event was a presentable one in the end!! i sure saw the smiles and laughter of the participant, especially those whu were walking home wif medals.. =D
2 of the teams even stayed till late after the day to play by the seaside!! This was a great sign that we did chose a suitable fantabulous spot for Challenge Shield 5th edition!! We really want the participants to see that having the event outside of NUS would be much better than having it in our cramped campus, and that the high registration fees were worth every cent cos of the comfort that we were providing!! =D
Im glad they saw it as the morning started off scorching while the afternoon was raining cats n dogs.. But, CS5 continued with all its glory as we were under the safe shelter of Sports Planet @ ECP!!! =D
I sure am proud of this small team of talented individuals whu managed to overcome their lack of experience and resources and pulled off a great event.. We should do one more sum time in the far future.. hahaha
(Undangan Abang Azmi)
This proved to be another first in history for the BP kompang group of '99!! Nope, not because this was our FIRST undangan.. We haf gone thru countless of undangans after the first 2 unfortunate ones which resulted in a fight between the driver and the family of the bride! hahaha This one was a first as we only had 4 people playing the kompang to usher the bride n groom to the dais!! Goodness me... Anyways, on a hindsight, the majlis was a dinner and we wouldnt haf wanted to create a ruckus in the night time would we?? hahaha
The following day, thankfully we had 7 people playing for the actual event in which we actually were approached by the bride;s brothers to dance around and make the ceremony more enjoyable while they sang a popular song by Scenario!! This was yet another first for the BP boys of '99.. and and andddd!!!! we got paid 10 buck ASIDE from the amount we had from the kompang!!
Truly a great day...
(FOC)
For this year, the Freshmen Orientation Camp was held at Raffles Hall and subsequently along the Alexandra Arch and the Henderson Bridges!! hehehe New places and thus they decided to give it a try!! And may i comment that the places were indeed breathtaking!! All Singaporeans shld go ahead and haf a look at the sights and behold the awesome structures which are already built, allowing us a birds' eye view of Telok Blangah and Bukit Merah West area!! =D
The participants this year were generally less than our batch of 70, but they were nonetheless still as enthu or even more, than ours!! hahaha actally ours was even better with the cheers and the crappy stuff we did since we joined wif our formed cliques of BP guys and BP affiliates!! (Hasanul, etc) However, i only witnessed the camp from the 2nd day onwards and thus, would not be able to give an accurate account of how this year's camp is like!!
But, from the accounts of Faatihah of Red Terror and Aisyah of Cicak.. It seems like this year's camp is indeed a blast for one and all!! Despite shortcomings which are an inevitable part of big events, the PD, committee members and helpers had managed t execute the camp with near flawless effects!! =D and for that i salute u guys lah!!
Well, for me, as a helper and performer, i felt that i learnt alot of useful stuff during this camp like for the first time in 7 years, i actually practised as part of a dikir barat group!!
and we actually did pretty well if not for the small hiccup which we caused inconvenience for one lady.. Doing silat during the concertnight was also a fun one as we did get much applause from the enthu crowd!! =D Sure hope that many of them woudl join Silat!!!
(Conclusion)
Fulfilling week makes Hanan a happy person all over again.. Ready to start next week wif a smile!! As promised, i shall end off this entry wif an impt fact to note!! =D
Fact #2: Did you know that by the end of this year, they are predicting that the North Pole would not have any ice left!!! Craps!!! Can u imagine such a thing happening especially while we are still alive?? Imagine no more ice in the North Pole!!
Wouldnt that lead to higher sea levels and pretty soon, everywhere in Singapore, we'd be able to engage in water sports without even having the need for swimming pools or canals to be built!! We would have flats starting from level 6 onwards cos level 5 would be underwater and stuff...
ERPs would need to be rebuilt to cater for smapans and motorboats coming into the CBD area.. And we would need to fit our boats with the IU reader to place our cashcards and all.. Haishes...
How life would change...
