orientation arrived...nervous as i was..i was also excited. i was assigned to MI0505 together with Angela and Felicia.
on the first day...it was rather uneventful..until we got to the tutorial room where they were supposed to meet their Personal Mentor(PEM).took the opportunity to select a timeline dancer and a participant for the 90 seconds of fame...realised that they weren't gonna volunteer so i had to pull out all the stops and make them sabo each other lol...eventually 2 people were sent for the 90 seconds thing and a dancer was selected..the dancer..not gonna say his name here cos he deserves some privacy even though he just ran off like a lil pussy just cos he doesn't wanna dance...we settled that with a replacement dancer and she did well :)
all in all..first and second day was a day of bonding..although i admit i wasn't around a lot because i voluntarily ran around doing things for MIT..Angela and Felicia are probably closer to some of them but that didn't stop them from recognizing me as one of their OGL's..kinda touching.. =P
on the third day..i was doing my official backstage thing as a ninja,meaning ever since 9.30..i wasn't with my class...imho,Angela and Felicia did very well taking care of the class theirselves without me around to help.the only time i managed to interact with some people was during the lunch time break when Kim (the dancer) with Yan Ling and Poh Ling(her 2 helpers that helped her get dressed for the dance) was hanging in the audi area...managed to chat a lil with them before heading off. because of time constraints..we actually headed into the actual event without a trial run. admittedly..i was nervous just like everybody...but somehow,the thought of entertaining nearly 1000 people just raised my emotions..i was high as a plane for the entire event...unbelievably,i was so energetic from morning all the way till after we finished all the debrief and etc at 10 pm.
how the event went..u wanna know? here it is :)
morning we started setting up all the props and markings on the stage..moved props and finalized prop movements and duty. hardest bit was the flying durian that was used in the skit..it proved to the prop that required the most effort. after the set up...we were briefed by seniors SK,Alex and Nusara. and then...at around 3..the first cue was given,freshmen starting streaming into the auditorium. nervously..hafidza,sharon,yan kai(sorry..i think i spell this name wrong lol),jia xin,jian min and me waited backstage..when mervyn and benita walked out to start their emceeing duties..the crowd roared. everybody backstage jumped and everybody's emotion soared off the chart. it moved on and on...and when Kim was introduced on the stage..i was so happy when i heard loud cheers unlike some contestants who unfortunately didn't get that many cheers.everytime we heard cheering..everybody backstage went ecstatic.
all in all,the freshies enjoyed the entire show...they even mistook me for jing yi,the main actor of the OGL skit...
to all MIT OGls : it's been great working and hanging out with all of u.yvonne said it herself...this is the best team..period. if ever we have a chance to work again,i would relish it. we made it through the proposal and trial run periods,and we made it through the main event almost flawlessly...we did it,MIT..we did it..it's now time to relax for a few days.
to Angela and Felicia : great job taking care of the class while i was running around trying to get things done.
to all the Excos : thanks for all the help. i know that u had to scold us all non stop or else we would be too lazy to work. without u, we coudln't have done a single thing. especially vincent,sharon,halif,christina and wendy, MIT excos...u guys were really kind through out the entire thing unlikes the other seniors who made the respective diplomas run paces.
to Finale : all those stayovers and no-sleep nights paid off! now go sleep!! can't say anybody is more important than anybody,regardless of post and rank in the team. gotta salute stage manager kia fang though,tough gurl..went through the finale while she was sick. kah yip,give my side more work next time and don't be too hero and take all the mic work lol
and finally.. to MI0505 : all the suan-ing..it was ok..i knew and understood u were joking lol...i'm that way.i admit i was being a huge arse myself..i had to find a way to make u guys laugh..otherwise it would have been too boring. really appreciated the support u guys showed by showing up on the final day. u guys made it all worth while. hope u guys will remain as bonded as u guys were during the orientation. nothing makes a class greater than the bond they have between each other. Approach angela,felicia and me anytime in school,online or by phone..we'll be there to help u if ever we can!
and now i contemplate whether this high feeling can be achieved again...
