Dawn of IBF & Inv Duo-Event 08/09

Ok .... mb d way i wrote sounds a little far-fetched .... but nonetheless, dis is how i experienced & felt about it ....i oso won't denied that besides d exhibition, d conference & bazaar were both let-downs (sigh) .... but i'm proud that v hav done our best in such a short time ....

Day One :


Juz a day earlier (actually 5.20am on d same day - friday), i went home late after all d students cleared up their stuffs ...after a cup of nice & chilling Coke ..i headed home for a 2 hour nap....thank God, later on, my High-com called me ..... i woke up at 7.30am ....oh shit ...luckily, no one knew till now....

Well, it a was day to begin with. When i reached DP' conference room, it was alredi abuzzed with students moving like ants, decorating their booths to their hearts content (after all, we were to be marked accordingly) ... we put up d final touches to the backdrop and such .... rearranged chairs, prepared the place, etc .....


Let's detour a while k................................(will get back to sequence later)
Allow me this chance to thank Kim Thor for his tireless effort to arrange the 'makan' & 'minum' session for d day. Without him, d event wouldn't b as smooth as it was... thx again Thor ....

Also to Johnson and his team, i owe u guys a huge appreciation for ur awesome effort into this event .....thx a ....

Thx oso 2 d investment ppl, especially to Mr. Rick Wong (a very gentle person ...haha... sry a if it seems like v bully u) .... thx a for ur support .....and oso allow me dis opportunity 2 apologize on behalf of us IBF students coz i noe v kinda let u down a little ...sry a bos ....

Now 2 my own boss, Vince .... i noe at times i may get on ur nerves as much as u get on mine .... i hope v will let it pass by us k in d spirit of comradeship k .... thx a lot for ur undivided support ....

To Gan Wei Loon, thx for ur support in helping us to communicate with d ppl of DP .....very much appreciate it ....

To Sing Yien & team, congrats on ur performance as d energetic coordinator of d game 'The Opportunist' ..... I amazed at ur coolness in handling it ....

To our resourceful emcees of d day, Mr Ali & Miss Amy, bravo & well done for ur effort to lighten the mood up ......

To those who accompanied me on our little 'secret' advertizing team .... i really appreciate u guys willing enuf to follow me to do promo although u guys could actually spend time at d conference ....

To Dae Ren, Mervyn & Cedric....thx for ur help in handling d food catering for us ...


To anyone else whom I'd missed out, i foremostly apologize ......but bear in mind, on behalf of IBF committee, v will always acknowledge what u guys hav done k .... thx again ....(oh my.... dunno how many times ad i hav say thx)


Back to our sequence for IBF conference......................
V commenced d event wit d marching in of both high-com ..... quite a 'happening' entrance wit d kompang sounds serenading d conference hall ....oh my ....long time d no hav such an entrance (last time was in secondary school....ahhh d gud old day ya) ......
D event kicked off wit the emcees introducing d the directors of both events to present their speeches ....quite 'emo' (hahaha....vince vince.... ) .... ahem.................
Mr Halim was next in line to deliver his keynote speech on the title of this event (too long 2 write here ....well ....i guessed u guys noe it anyway) .... anyway, shortly after that, d video and drama presentation went on, but shit ....to our dismay, d sunlight was gleaming like blazes (well, u get my point) ...it was too bright to show any projections ...sigh

Oh well, we moved onto d exhibitions ....it was a crowd favourite ....everyone enjoyed it (i hav proof to display that....haha) .... each group had prepared many activities as well as explanation to deliver to the public.... at a time, it looked like it was a market place (so noisy) ....

After that, v moved onto many other things .....replay of videos, etc....v spent our time chit chatting ... chased each other around (haha...luckily no lecturer ....) ..... lol .... after 8pm onwards ...it was fun time to d closing time at around 10pm .... after packing up all the remaining food ...clear this & that ....all of us went home at around 10.30pm ....was really tired that day .....

Day 2 :
Due to d PA system being dismantled after d first day, many members resorted to getting their very own sound system via speakers + laptops ....walao (like this oso can) .....
D 2nd day was a heck of a rush ....i could c temper flaring here & there .... just like geysers all over the place wit steaming vapour gushing high into d air .....luckily everyone acted professionally ....though i received numerous complains bout' ppl not doin' their part; i guessed dis is part & parcel of every event ..... its INSEPARABLE ....... but let's not harp upon this issue anymore.... to those who hav worked hard for this event, u noe who u r ....thx
At around 8.05pm, v had our closing ceremony at d bazaar ......der were numerous dances and singings by MMU's very own music club of sorts ..... thx guys .... cool performance der .....
Later on, our chubby director (IBF) exchange hugs wit d down-to-earth Inv Director after they both had delivered their 'emo' speeches ....oh man ....later on, there were dances on d stage by our 'very excited crew members' .....well, well, well, ....guessed what ....they decided that i was a bouncy ball; thus, up and down i went ....(5x) ...thx ah wei loons (i will always rmb that) ...after that , v cleared all d stuffs in d conference hall, tore down many items v put up, threw garbages away, etc..
Next, was a memorable 'sayounara' ..i could not have pictured a better scene than that day among all d event i attended.....

"V came as individuals (IBF & Investment students) but v left as friends"........that was our biggest achievement despite all d minor setbacks ..... i supposed der was some goodness 2 dis event after all .... most of us got closer 2 knowing each other better ....v had our share of fun (some had fun non-stop ....haha) .... To me, this event will always remind me of how things can go so badly initially and how it can turn around, bringing so much goodness around .... thx guys .......p/s: I will pass my share of photos around ....could those who hav photos that day share around theirs ....thx ...

Days leading to IBF 08/09...



Honestly, there were many hiccups in this particular event .... eg: largely is due to the terrifying amount of budget we had... it was another feat on how we actually carried out the double event consecutively (IBF conference cum exhibition and Investment bazaar) .... bravo to one and all.... this chapter of my blog is attributed to u guys who have contributed relentless efforts to see these events through despite our tight schedules ...thank you....

Ahh .... i could still capture the situations that occurred exactly a week ago (today is monday, 4th May) ... well, just a little more than a week ago, we got the green light to proceed with this event in DP .... it was hard to get a yes from our lecturer but our determination did paid off....

Commencing from last tuesday onwards, i can say that i'm impressed.... judging by the way the members perform this week .... i was not even sure if i was in the right class at all .... seeing how they did discussion till late nights ..... observing them paint numerous work arts .... entailing the promo group to distribute flyers (haha .... i was almost chased by a dog ....lucky me) .....amazed by the creativity of each participating exhibition group..... the awesome drama presentation ( bravo to Soo Yi) ....to my energetic leader ( i take this honour to apologize if i had irate o offend u at times ...but bear in mind ... i did all that for d event k ...no hard feelings ...congrats ) .....

Cheers to Deco Division

Motivating sight (PnE Div)

On tuesday night (3 days before the dawn of IBF0809), we had a dual consecutive meeting with Deco division & also the PnE division at Src .... both meetings happened to be at the same time (lucky me ...no need run around ...haha) .... The Deco ppl did their part dedicatedly ... it really boosted up my esteem to go forward with more enthusiasm for this event ( thx to Kim Leng and members ).... and the PnE ppl ...they too did their marvel (juggling with so many activities to be organized .... thx Joyce and team) .....

I won't forget d other divisions too .... to Promo division, thank you (sincerely i know d amount of effort u guys poured into this event - even up all d way to Cheras .... Johnson, i really respect u ) .....to T&Log division....appreciations to Wisely in leading his team to help out in the event flow ..... to Goh Wei Loon, thx for taking up time to design such an attractive website for us ...... if i left out anyone , plz tell me ... i will update it ........

Thu, April 16 2009 : Another day of Rush rush

Like d title mentioned, it was another day of rushing schedule 4 me... was tired actually but didn't hav much choice.... was kinda worried actually dat my assignments were delayed very much due 2 d event i'm doing (alamak ....dunno can 'gao tim' dem o not in time) ....
Luckily 2day decided 2 go 2 class .... didn't noe lec (BME) actually did a quiz... haha.... if not, der goes my 5 marks 4 nth....met wit some hiccups in IBF event when v didn't get d approval v initially thought i could obtained (2 bad a)... well, no choice, event still muz move on.....(sincerely, still worry a bit ....hey...dis is supposed CEO punya kerja le) .......
Later, 2 frens of mine accompanied me 2 MBMB (i hope i spelt dat correctly) 2 pursue some sponsorship issues 4 d t-shirts of d event .......... haha..... not 100% satisified but at least, my proposal was taken in & given consideration (keeping my fingers crossed dat this will work 2 my expectations) .... IBF meeting later on was blunder (sincerely, there was lack of cohesion among members 2 my dismay ....y la ppl ....) ...attendence was at a mere 45% only .... haha sigh........
Again in d evening, 4 d event once more, der was a recording session of 'drama' by the P&E division 2 capture some scenes 'involving some protesters' and some other minor parts ..... amazed at response (well done) .... was so tired dat i fell into a cozy slumber of 4 hours later on only 2 wake up 2 blog dis ....hahaha..... anyhow, my opinions bout' 2day? ..............>>> A DAY FULL OF CHALLENGES
