My post of programmer had been set in April before the exams.Didn't help with the program flow except for the opening ceremony script.We did the board, shyang did the powerpoint and the brochure, chia hao did the ticket, ban leng did the poster, han ying did the banner, and what did i do? NOTHING!!!yet...Sat at the booth for some times... either for my own duty or others in case they r busy. From GPS we got our tickets, poster and banner. Seniors, to my disappointment, did not provide any support or even bothered to come see or contact us. Probably they just wanna keep in their memory their own engineering night last year which wud be so 'superb' to them only... The committee cannot be bothered with them, we HAD to move forward. Initial response was plain... some just ask ridiculous stuff. After about 1 week business started to look up... Besides registration i also have to talk about sponsors... Me, cuan, pin and kelvin went to queensbay and BJ mall to request for sponsors. We didn't get much sponsors, but at least we tried our best. Our sponsorship ppl otherwise can go admire their marvelous performance in convincing us we got the wrong hotlines for them to call. We actually had Traders' hotel at first for our Engineering Night, but because they said we had to pay extra for the night to be held on Friday. After certain conflict we decided to change to Cititel. The food was our main worry... but after talks with Ms. Chloe from Cititel we managed to get a better and more presentable menu. We decided our treasure hunt, lucky draw and other stuff. I helped cuan with the script... then came the shooting... I feel apologetic for being unable to stay past evening to help out... but still they did it. As time went on the prizes were bought, filming done, and the booklet was close to completion by kelvin. Cuan thought about presenting Dr. Yap with an origami dragon... We all helped him with folding the pieces... and i had problems with keeping my mouth shut about this(sry guys!) To others, i would like to clarify i have no girlfriend n the 'make origami for my girlfriend' crap is just to cover the whole thing up... We tried our best to convince lecturers and students to come through class presentations by pin, cuan and kelvin... Since 2nd July all programmers and some staff stayed back in hostel TV room awake all night finishing up all the props of the nite.No sleep... cuan and pin were cutting props and han ying and sai ye were wrapping lucky draw prizes while kelvin was touching up on the movie and other powerpoints, sadly bleng, allen and bee yee were fighting for their assignment and wasn't available to help us... I was only typing up name and table lists... i salute my laptop for taking a fall and still do so much work for me... once morning came i went home to collect my clothes and bath, with help from pin. Grabbed a few vials of bird's nest to eat ... later proceeded to print the lists and fabricate the PCB for the twilight dragon...Sai ye went to collect the casing in the meantime... Later followed allen in his car to his house to collect his clothes and off we went to cititel. As an engineering student i am ashamed to admit that we were stuck in the lift because we didn't realise we had to put the hotel card in first before the lift can carry us up to the room floors. The room we got reminded me of our college... 506... i was still in casual clothing. Tried to help with the balloon arc but it came to nothing. i cut the name tags n clipped them to the string (anyone who blames me for cutting their name tag can come cut me i dun care...) People started coming and the programmers got more nervous. The life and future of the society laid with just this 4 hour event. Pin and the other dances like sunzane, jason and wei jun practised like crazy and later went upstairs to wash up and change... jason and wei jun will have a bigger part in tonight's show... i got the lists out, prizes down and paper screen to the stage. After i got changed even more people showed up. After some delays i brought out my laptop again for its duty for the night. Along with chu kuan we held up the paper screen showing the alien clip and jason n wei jun dashed through the screen... after that while others were eating, the programmers were running around n preparing stuff. There was the first nomination for engineering king and queen... my turn to give them some problem...hehehe... felt bad for ying and bleng... the only blessing we can give them is elimination from the first round. After that had to prepare chia chuin for his guitar performance. Later was hectic and more elimination was done plus some activities... Word challenge was cancelled and there was beat box, chinese orchestra, committee dance and more nomination... chia chuin was king and angelene was queen... after that we had more lucky draw n cleared up. While clearing up kelvin put up 'wen bie' which only I am able and willing to sing along with him... With my remaining strength i sang along with him until the last part he din know the lyrics so i soloed... some demanded encore... i guess those were for kelvin...
By the end I just realised... I haven't had anything proper to eat since the chipsmore biscuit brought by kelvin... That was eaten at around 6am on the day itself...
