I have been busying for an event (biggest event) in my university recently.
Yeah finally it is over now.
I am having mix feeling...
I was hoping to end faster because it is during Test 1, I have to sacrifice my study time because of this event.
However, once it is done I feel somehow sad and empty.
Productivity day is over now, I am back to normal university student.
I go to class on time and go back to room after class...
To be honest, I actually gained a lot of experience throughout the event.
It is fun yet tiring.
It started at 14th January, the external affairs camp.
I only went for 3 days out of 11 days.
It is damn fucking tiring I must say...
We were divided into group and different group will be assigned to different region.
Funny is that I was assigned to my housing area and my ex-office area lol :P
During the camp, we have to promote our event and find sponsorship.
Each day, we will have different partner to work with.
So it is a bit of challenging if you can't adapt quickly, you have to work with stranger @@
First of all, we went to the shop available there.
We introduced ourselves and asked if they were willing to sponsor our event.
I dunno if I am considered lucky or just coincidence because I always got the sponsorship first for the magazine package which cost around RM188 - RM888 during the 3 days camp.
But after that I got nothing special.
Too bad, I was unable to get the RM1988 sponsorship (the highest) :3
I can see some bosses are kind-hearted and some bosses aren't.
Some they willing to give out their selling products such as ping pong balls, games stuff and paints (lots of it).
Some bosses even gave us free drinks :)
Appreciate much!
However, some are pretty bad until they ignored, played and cheated us :(
I can't blame them also because their business ain't that good.
People, there are goods and bads.
Thanks for giving me a chance to talk with strangers and allowing me to let down my ego for once.
My ego was hurting so badly for that 3 days but I was satisfied.
I conquered my egoness!
The best would be the last day because we all went to Pasar Malam Taman Connaught, the longest of all.
Then at night, we slept at Kolej 11 (Engineering hostel).
3 people in a room, we shared 2 beds.
I remembered wearing the same cloth for 3 days straight @@
Thanks god the cloth dried quickly, if not ha...
It is tiring but also awesome, I learned the art of speaking with strangers :D
That is the starting of PAP.
Then around February, there are continuous of meeting about the event.
I didn't attend much for the meeting maybe because I was busy or lazy (I have forgotten)
Then starting to have workshop every night until late midnight at Astaka Seni (kinda far from my hostel - 2.1km of walking)
There is no bus to that place which is why I hate it so much argh...
Thanks for the workshop, I am slightly less fat muahahah!
We did a lot of props, all from scratch, from a plain wood board, we measured and cut it.
Then we painted it with paints.
 |
| The king's and queen's sit. |
 |
| The royalty people's sit. |
 |
| Get to wear nice traditional clothes :P |
 |
| Here I am selling pau XD |
From plain white cloth, we measured, we drew and we coloured it!
 |
| The king's bedroom background. |
 |
| Poor people's house front view. |
We also painted some art onto plain wood :D
 |
| Our theme this year. |
Some people went to a temple to make some lanterns too.
 |
| Piggy. |
 |
| Our wishing booth with dabbing monk. |
 |
| Lighting horse~ |
The thing I hate is I kept getting my hand dirty with the steel paint which I cannot remove it for few days.
I even got careless by pouring the whole cup of paint to my hands and legs because I dropped the cup...
We did all that for like a month I guess...
We did it because our theme is about going back home.
Which we wanted to show how old days, rich royalty and poor residents celebrate their Chinese New Year.
So our props are divided into 2 parts...
Too bad I was too busy to snap everything.
On 21st March evening until night and 22nd March from morning 10am to evening 6pm...
I was assigned to wishing booth which is my favourite of all.
It looks so nice and a lot of people came to my booth, most of their wishes are pretty hilarious.
Just hope everyone's dream come true!
It is just that the flow of people ain't much, I feel bad for the food booth seller because they were not earning much that day...
Thanks for the free foods aunty and uncle!
I wish your stall can earn more than usual!
Appreciate your kindess!
On 22nd March night, there is an extravagant (night show about Baba Nyonya).
To be honest, that is what I was waiting for.
Thankfully I don't have to buy the ticket (RM10).
The show is pretty awesome, with their act, storyline and also the stage props.
So nice and pretty informative about the cultural Baba Nyonya.
They have practiced for so long without sleeping but the show only last for 1 hour :3
幸苦了大家。
We have prepared so much, many sweat have been deposited all for these 2 days...
You know what?
The most saddest part is that we all have to destroy our hardworks on that night right away.
We smashed and threw all that chairs and paintings right after the show.
I feel slightly angry and wasted because that is our 1 month of hardwork and just like that, destroyed and gone...
My heart ache but what can I do...
There is no choice for them to change their mind in keeping the props all... TT
We cleaned up after the show until 4am and I have co-curriculum test the next day...
I only slept for 2h if not mistaken...
I don't even know if I scored well in that test ha (fishing test).
I got a lot of test unable to score because of you too!
Hmph, I have to burn midnight oil because of you PAP!
Hopefully miracle happen, I pray hard for that!
Yeah, I guess it is pretty much all of it...
This is by far the complete and precise version of one of the event I have joined hahah (photos included)!
Really, thanks for the experiences, it is so priceless...
Now it is time for me to say good bye to 14th PAP UPM :)
