the emcees (minus Joanne)This has got to be the most exhausting week of 2009 by far. The week started off with a lot of different questions, doubts and stupid regrets clouding my mind, and with the CNY Nite coming up, wow... full plate.
When I first knew that I was going to be one of the four formal emcees for CNY Nite' 09, I was like...
"You've gotta be kidding me!!!???!!!!!!!"
Craziness in full force. Like, me with the
chronic stage frights and
abhorrence of public speaking. You've gotta be kidding.
Really really wanted to pull out and decline but I would have to find a replacement, which would be very hard since almost everyone was tied to something or another. And I knew like if I didn't take this opportunity now, it may not come again. Its like a good chance to overcome stupid phobias. Lol.
So I took it. ( a little begrudgingly, I'm afraid)
But it proved to be an enjoyable experience, though the build up to it was rather tiring. Every night spent in the LH from 8 to 9 for choir, then CF or emcee meetings to draft out the script and all till 12 or 12++ Still, the atmosphere in the DU during the nights was very Chinese New Year-
ish with the songs playing and everyone practicing some thing or another, and all the decorations going up. =)
Got to really really thank
Suraya and
Nadia for being my personal make-up artists. For their patience in trying to make up the very-hard-to-make-up single eyelid
sepeted eyes of mine hahaha, for their toner, eyeshadow, eyeliner etc etc. And to
Lynthia who came all the way back to our apartment to get the basket for the
Chai Shen, thus missing the live band's Bon Jovi 'Its My Life' so sorry Lynthia! And
Yasmin, for all her 'you can do its' and earrings. =) Not forgetting
Li Yan-who ran around everywhere taking pictures with my camera all together 263 pics!
So overall, although I know I did mess up a few parts=s, it proved a worth-while experience I guess. I wouldn't have at least the experience of it all if I didn't take it. So, yups=)
ps. More pictures on Facebook soon.
pss. And Jun Mei, your live band rocks! Great keyboarding and guitaring too btw=P (nice guitar haha)
Cheerio.
