Event preparation #1

2012-02-08T22:03:00.002+08:00

I always think that running an event is such a waste of time and inappropriate for our course, hence all these unnecessary activities should be avoided but it seems that now I'm starting to think that it actually brings many benefits but of course, if you let me to choose I'd rather no need to organize events. Less work, easy life :D
When the lecturer told us that we have to do an event as our year-end event, I thought we are the unlucky ones. hmm, VERY unlucky ones. Even though I don't study all the time, I don't want to do work all the time X) so even you protest, it's useless because protesting when the lecturer said "YOU MUST DO IT" is like you jumping down from the 20th floor.

To organize an event from scratch is never easy and when you start to being able to visualize everything, problems start to pop up one by one. Nonetheless, budget was one of our biggest problem.

As I've written down somewhere earlier, the sponsorship team wasn't able to gather up sufficient funds needed for the event and then we had to ask for sponsorship from companies. Expected, by writing e-mails to companies asking for money, even though you mentioned it's for charity 99.9% that you will be ignored. Sometimes I wonder if e-mails sent to companies will be automatically received in the "spam box" *cries* ~~but I'm not the one writing letters so I'm ok :D~~ I couldn't do anything but complain to my parents and then dad agrees to ask companies to sponsor some funds for my sake. Though still no good news yet but they wanted to see the sponsorship letter, at least better than e-mails being ignored, some hopes are there.
Lesson learnt : The importance of socializing, or whatever you call it. errr, work hard so you know big shots? hmm, I don't know how to put these in words but I know there is an important lesson here. NOTED.

Second, problems arise when it comes to communicating with people you are working with. I'm not the head of anything but there's a lot of ideas that I wanted to share, somehow I am rally sensitive with responses given by others so sometimes when they kept quiet when I kept suggesting and asking "is it possible if we do it like that?", or when I say "what makes you think that we can't do it" , I feel timid and started thinking if I should keep quiet. Maybe they think that I was talking too much or maybe doing things that are not related to my responsibility. As I have said earlier again, I was assigned to deal with food for the event of the day which the job was later taken over by another classmate.
I helped out with other groups, too kepoh hmm. I asked a few clubs from my old secondary school if they are willing to perform and when they agree, I think I cause the first problem we encounter. The budget problem. We had to provide transport for them, if I say no, that means no performance, if I say yes, means no money.
Lesson of the day : don't kepoh, lol.
NOTED

But anyway, problems are solved now. we have performances and we have money. Happy ending. (Did I mention that I helped out in every group EXCEPT food? hmm, OH WELL~ )

Third problem will be if we are able to publicize our event so we get many people to attend the concert. I've only discovered today that only University students are allowed to attend. So I guess I didn't asked for thorough details before I planned to publicize this on Facebook.
Lesson learnt : ask thoroughly of all details?
NOTED.

:(
sad, still many to improve and many yet to come.

I hope at the end of the fifth year, things will be better =)
in case I forgot, please remind me of all the "noted" points *winks*

年初三的晚餐聚会，如以往般所有亲戚朋友都来到了我们家。
一年一次的聚会让我们有机会以大伙人坐在一起聊聊天，让彼此有机会更新一下近况。
大爱节庆聚会因为这是唯一的日子大家会抛下手上的工作，尽情地享受在大城市里稀有的休闲。

盆菜、炸虾、肯德基的炸鸡、猪脚醋、青菜和白饭。
看似很简单，但这些都是一路陪伴着我长大的美味菜肴。

随着大家年龄的增长，渐渐地不再一起庆祝其他的节日。不过我们家还是一个节日都没有少，每一个都庆祝。

中秋节再也听不到孩子们嬉戏的声音，老实说自己也对这些庆日渐渐地失去了兴趣。不过因为是华人的传统节日，我也有和家人提着灯笼，绕自己的家园走了一两圈 :3
端午节也只是因为期待着能够吃粽子而感到极度兴奋。
冬至和家人一起搓的汤圆熬的汤特别的美味。

能够和家人度过这些节日是人生中最开心的事

懒散的下午就这样度过了。

真希望每一天都能够无忧无虑地度过（●´∀｀）σ

祝大家农历新年快乐

Today is the day, when I finally able to leave my post as the group leader and join the Logistic for the upcoming event. I was really thankful that I am finally able to do something that I enjoy in this event.
Thinking back, I was a bit irresponsible when it comes to my job. I didn't know that there was a meeting this morning so I didn't called the catering earlier to confirm with the prices and food to be served. Well, actually we did discussed bout the food earlier with the group members and it was okay but when I told the others this morning, turned out that everything was not okay.

I was a bit sad with their responses actually although I wasn't really sure with the menu myself but that's what the catering service usually serves. And when it comes to the budget, they were okay with it at the beginning and in the end of the day not okay as well.

Anyway, what I did after getting this post was just complaining anyway. I know I shouldn't complain and just do whatever tasks given to be but I just don't like being the leader of a group unless it's something that I really liked. And when it comes to food and budget, I'm totally hopeless with this two because in my mind

nice food with low budget --> IN YOUR DREAMS
low budget get lousy food --> PEOPLE DON'T LIKE
nice food with high budget --> GUESTS WILL LIKE BUT EVERYONE ELSE DON'T LIKE

If I asked for suggestions --> "you have to figure it out yourself"

Discussed with group mates --> "no no no no, people don't like to eat this this this this"

and I think I just complained again .__. I really just kept complaining about this job ever since I got it I think my friend got fed up with me she didn't even let me finish my sentence lol. I sounded like a grandmother nagging nonstop omg. In class and in blog *zips mouth*

Enough nonsense. So the happy ending of the story is, since everyone was fed up with my irresponsible attempt, a classmate from the Logistic volunteered to help out. Seeing this as a golden opportunity, I agreed to let him join the team and later on asked if I could switched group with him. He agreed and so I am a happy girl again :D no more complaining, finally I can do something that I really liked for the event

note to self : temper temper temper temper

Hello 2012! :D

2012-01-03T19:44:00.001+08:00

hello 2012 *waves* 2012 is gonna be exciting for a few reasons, and to name a few :

this is the year I'm turning 21 (not so excited about finally becoming an adult but have to try being excited)
this is the year that I'm leaving home to Kuala Terengganu for my clinical years.
this is the year that we're moving house (lol!)
this is the year that everyone is talking about since 2010 ---> end of the world *SCREAMS*

I had plans to celebrate this coming new year a few days ago. I was supposed to have dinner with the former schoolmates and then welcome the new year together =D BUT, but-but-but-but-but-but-but-but-but, I fell sick last minute so I couldn't make it. Instead, I slept at 9pm, nowhere near midnight. what a bummer *pouts*

From 31st Dec 2011 to 2nd Dec 2011 I was a sick girl :(

And for a few days I had to stay in bed, not able to do anything. Prescribed medications didn't work as the fever didn't subside. Well, it did subside for a couple of hours after I had the medication; and then the body temperature rises again. This goes on for 3 days : temperature goes up and down up and down, like bungee jump. And my mood go from sick --> hyper --> sick again --> hyper again --> sick again, so feeling moody --> bored --> depressed

So I did what normal people will do when they are depressed. I kept posting on Facebook saying how sick I was, hoping to make everybody sick as well *evil grin* and after all these efforts, I didn't feel better physically after posting though... but mentally, it did feel slightly better. Funny thing was when I went to class today, my friends told me that almost everyone in my class know that I was really sick so I skipped morning classes. Should be expected since I posted on Facebook to 'inform' everyone about my miserable condition but NO, no-no-no-no-no, and again, a BIG NO. It turns out to be my lecturer was the one who told them I couldn't make it to class because I was so sick. *jaw drop* ~~at least lecturer knows I didn't ponteng on purpose T_T~~

"Back to the main thing"

At last we went to the hospital for a check up. Yes I know, very kua zheong but it was a public holiday so there wasn't much choices left to made. My parents brought me to Sunway Medical Center and waited for a couple of minutes and finally it was my turn. The doctor did some checkups and asked few questions, finally he said that I should do a throat swab test. Wonderful experience and please, no second time. Why a swab test? Because he said it could either be a throat infection or worse, influenza to be bringing all these problems to me. Good job, influenza .________. no choice and had to do the swab test, that few seconds were like a few decades, T.O.R.T.U.R.I.N.G

We had dinner (YES! I CAN EAT WHAT HEALTHY PEOPLE EAT BUT ONLY BODY TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN NORMAL PEOPLE) nearby and waited for the results of the test. I've got negative results for both Influenza A and B so I was diagnosed with throat infection. The doctor prescribed me some medications and I can finally go home.

By the way, Sunway Medical Centre doesn't use plastic bags O_O they use paper bags *claps claps*

-----------------

Resolution for 2012 will be :

STAY HEALTHY AND BE HARDWORKING

It's been a while since the last post ... AGAIN. It's the 3rd week of October already, ~~or is it the 4th?~~ ;S
Well let's see what I've did in these few weeks, brief summary ? hmm..

Anyway, it's the 2nd week of our study break and it's coming to an end. omg, I don't believe this *facepalm* the finals are nearer to me now *gasp* Before our break started, I have planned to finish the syllabus by today already. well, I planned and my plan failed *yawns* I'm a bit behind the original schedule and I still have a few more to read. A few more means A LOT, I just don't wanna demotivate myself :/ To reschedule everything, I just have to make sure I read all before next Tuesday. Alright, the latest by 2359, 25th October 2011 *crossed fingers*

Anyway, mom's birthday is by... urh *looks at the lower right corner of the desktop, and GASP* *facepalm* ... okay, it's tomorrow. Again, I have planned to make her a birthday card. Good, now I need to re-attend my time management class. Seems like I've just cramped every single THEORY into my small brain and regurgitated them out during the written tests. Not much of practice of what I've learnt *sigh* Well, I guess it's time to start work on the card, it shouldn't take much time I suppose. I've done 1/9 of the card :P so there's another 8/9 to complete and I still have another 24hours to finish it.

I guess this is not much of a brief , it's more like a proof of how much of a procrastinator I am. *grins*
Alright, I have to get things going right now. See you guys, let's hope the next blog entry won't be on next year XD

停下忙碌的步伐，深呼吸，清新的空气在都市中不怎么难得。

放松心情，世界无比美好。

A day out

2011-10-08T23:28:00.002+08:00

Had a day with the cousin at Taylor's Lakeside Campus. We really like the library there so we had been there a few times for it. No need to worry much bout food and caffeine ~~to keep us awake~~ 

I like it when we study together as it has been awhile since we last hang out and I've noticed that we're actually not talking much already compared to the older days but now we're talking again and I'm glad that things are changing to become better now.

There was an event going on at the campus today so it wasn't really quiet. The campus was decorated with  and I really liked it! Someday our university should try something like that.
