i nv thought i'd be involved in organising a singing competition. for this, i really have to thank meryl for pulling me into the comm. even though i felt really awkward during the first few meetings. i basically only knew meryl and vivien beforehand, and for me, it wasn't easy opening up to the many many strangers i see during meetings. it was only during semi-finals that all of us really got closer to each other and started working together as a whole comm. it's amazing how we managed to bond.
and then after a break for exams, we came together again and worked on the finals. it was really fun i must say. i nv ever regretted joining the comm, not just seeing how it turned out, but i really learned a lot from it. be it treasury, marketing or running an audition or even a ticketing booth.
maybe i shouldnt talk too much about the finals itself. just wanted to say that even though many of the winners were from nus, it was PURE coincidence. and i can really swear that it's accurate cos i was one of the few tabulating everything. i was a bit sad when i saw comments on our tagboard saying that we are biased, but we really were not!
didn't get to see the performances at all cos i was handling the ticketing booth. the queue was MADNESS i can tell you. i was so sad i couldnt find any other ways to make it better, and i'm sure we'd receive a lot of complaints cos of that, but nevertheless, like what meryl and norman said, it was a good problem. we, as a comm, never ever did expect such a queue. it was just like people queueing for freebies. and most of our tickets were sold out! we ended up having to buy so many more drinks coupons and scrambling to get tickets from each comm members. man...i can't describe how happy we all felt about the finals.

comm trying to mix the drinks
and some people got damn high after the drinks. my first time drinking so much in a club (or pub whatever it is). i was one of the few who didnt go to the dance floor, but could feel some sort of highness in me. i turned DAMN red super quickly, though i was perfectly sober. then everyone was laughing at me.=X gosh. thank goodness meryl's mum sent yizhe, daryl and i home. if not cab fare would be a disaster. and so reached home at around 230am, came online, uploaded photos and emails started coming in. and i just collapsed on the bed.
look at how red i was. my mirror is so dirty!
YAY! one down!=) but i'm really proud. one of my most memorable project comms i was ever in. now time to rest before bangkok, foc and rag. woohoo!
(i didn't want to say this but anyhow i was quite traumatized trying to drive and park just now. goodness. how am i ever going to drive alone. why am i so lousy at it!)
buddy dinner ytd. nv fails to make me feel stupid cos i can nv connect with the various topics they talk about. elitist talk maybe. ah well. but it was good catching up anyhow.=)
stardust accounts to do. NIGHTMARE i tell you.=X
