CIC n IIC training today

Wake up kiki!

I experienced something that i never thought i could do it today! I took up the role as an emcee!! 0.0 I can't believed it!

Last week, one of my senior met up with me and asked if i can be the emcee for a event on sat [which is today], naively i accepted it without thinking how important was that event! >. < It's a event for training CICs n IICs [ which are leaders from different institution eg. polytechnic and university sch in s'pore.] I was told that there will be 6 japanese students from soka u japan to attend our event. Come to think again, i think i was being too daring without knowing my true ability. :P

It was only yesterday that me and my co-emcee[male] started to prepare for the script for the event. the first question he ask me was " You do not have any experiences and you told up the role??" This quesiton stunt me and i felt nervous suddenly. My co-emcee said he only have 1 time experience for emcee and it's a small event. He even added "if i knew that this event was huge, i may not accept it"

I was getting more frightened by his words as i didn't imagine how stressful a emcee can be..haha. We took just 2 hours to write out the entire emcee speech..as i have to rush to senja for a dance preformances..[the same dancing queen dance]. I reached home late, and start scening through my script.

Today, i woke up early and rush to syc for a rehearsal with my co-emcee.. We went through the whole process few times but there is still a "butterfly in my stomach". I can hardly swallow my food during lunch time. Guess who do i met? I saw weihan, yhcb senior! arggg, she will be one of the audience for that event. 0.o She started poking me without a reason and ask me "Don't do feel sick with chicken rice after every week we ate during band?" hahaa..this actually lighten up my mood ^.^

It's the actual moment, more audience are entering.. I can see about 60-70 people in the room. I can only chant whole heartily, praying that i must not be defeated by my fear! Don don!!!
After introducing ourselves, emcees, it was me who start the programme for that day. I was asked to read the words on the board, but i can hardly see the words!! >< I did badly that part when i have to read out words like "endeavours and propagation" since these words i don't use it AT ALL.

Luckily, my mood starts lightening up after few of the jokes that me and my partner had created.
One of it was when i explain the word "pai seh" I explain this phrase for the benefit for our Japanese fren, it means sorry. And know what? me and my partner start dance "sorry, sorry" [by super junior]. It took about 2 seconds for the audience to understand what a LAME joke we are making and roar into laughter.
Maybe the audience think that we are funny.. haha.. Bcos, when i start introducing the next programme, i still heard few laughter without knowing why..LOL

The 2 and a half event finally ends. I still can't believed that i break through this new challenge that i can actually be a emcee!! It was really fun and exciting experience for me. =) hmm, what i learnt from emcee role was that, it is not as easy as it looks. In between the events, we have sudden changes + announcement to add in for our script and we have to cut some part of what we initially wanted to say, and come out with new words to entertain the audience. [Making sure that they won't fall asleep] It was really tiring for me as on top of emcee role, there are 2 events that sp are preforming and i have to join in. [sing and dance]. I think that i really talk suppper a lot today and have squeezed up 70% of my brain juices power. When i reached home, i am totally lethargic, exhausted.

Nevertheless, I gain many knowledge and good experience today. It will be my starting point and steeping stone for my future. ^^

Ne kiki!

Do you know how special today is?? Its Singapore's national Day!!! It's a significant day for you and me and every Singaporean! lolz. Mum is performing for NDP this year representing soka association! So please remember to watch the last event of NDP, the red dot.

This is the funky costume here:

The entire preparation for this NDP event started 5 months ago, and today is finally the day ^o^
My family got 2 free tickets for her and I attend the preview with Dad few weeks ago. What's exciting about this year ndp is that the stage lighting is so fascinating!! There's even a "heart" shaped fireworks! What's more?
The goody bag of course! lol

I went somerset today to do my XD project. What interest and shock me was that when i step out of the train station, surprisingly there isn't many people around 0.0 Even on the train, only 10% are Singaporeans and the rest are either Americans, Japanese and Indian workers. I feel like arriving a new country. Even on the street along somerset area, it's deserted. It's believed that 80% of Singapore population is located at city hall all the way to marina square and esplanade area..Can't imagine the crowd!>< After that, i enter the Cinilesure. Some of the shops are closed and amazingly most shopers are family members. Not much youths group hanging around like usual.. I was mistook as a foreigner when i buy from "More than Words"
The sales girl asked me "Do you speak English or Mandarin?" Akira shock! I speak both! Do i not look like a Singaporean? Lmao

It's such an interesting experience when shopping during the National Day..
