am officially retired as a treasurer!! how's it feel? nostalgic! what a lovely ending to my interact career...
an outgoing treasurer's account on friday's installation
first & foremost, I <3 the decorations! I really take my hat off to the mastermind. on thurs when we were completing our chem exercise/test, the whole hall was dull-looking and the same old plain one. when we were done, I lifted the curtains and low & behold! there it was! the huge sun thingy with stars around it. it's supposed to be this day/night effect, you see. really ingenious idea, I must say. the back of the hall was decorated with a dark theme while the front was done up with bright colors. *grins*
the outgoing Board Of Directors' concern.
okok, it was supposed to start at 1, I mean, that's what it said on the ticket.. however, by 2, the hall wasn't even half full... I was getting pretty worried even though the incoming board had assured me earlier that they sold every single ticket.
my last interact event.
after a while, everyone settled down and the event finally commenced. oh yeah, I also gave daddee goose a grand tour of the articles! it was nice to see him again. kinda missed my daddee! ssh, don't tell him! he'll never stop rubbing it in my face! this was the first time I actually got to see everything from the audience point of view, having had countless duties before this, especially p.a, which created quite a commotion. I'm clueless as to how come it sounded so bad all of a sudden. everything just didn't seem to be going right. and in the end, I had to nudge eli to do this & that. my friends are right, I'm never getting detached from the p.a system. *shakes head*
swan song.
after vowing never to go on stage again to perform after the many tragic dances where I was humiliated to the bone, I kinda had to break that vow as there was still my swan song left to perform. that being the hand-over ceremony. last year, quanyie had pinned that prestigious nametag on me, now, it was my turn to do the same for sara. okok, confession time. I kinda made up the tradition about the outgoing treasurer slipping one ringgit while handing-over. I just did it for fun. lol. as for the installation songs, sujen had picked out coldplay's in my place and the scientist. however, I didn't like the fact that chris martin's vocals were overpowering yvonne's, who was introducing all of us. I included 12 girls band's cover of clocks and also one of bond's songs. woman & my twin thought coldplay's 'clocks' sounded better. oh well.. I liked that we themed our hand-over all coldplay-ish. very very sad. I even instructed shen yee to play 'the scientist' when it was president peiman's turn to hand-over. I think some of us outgoing ones were seen stifling a tear or two.... seriously though, I'd never trade the memorable experience I had with all my BOD. they're the best bunch I've worked with. *sniff* I thought the outgoing board were really schweet.. the whole week, we practised our hand-over cermony over & over.. little did we expect that during our thursday practice, they gave us each a little invitation note. aww. shucks. it was such a surprising gesture. I felt so very touched..
after the hand-over.
okok, back to friday's event, it was really a blast. :D though I had to leave at 4.15 for chem class, but still. oh yeah. food was good. I'm glad my successor did a good job. it was like the first time I could actually sit down and eat properly. served by sara too. I'm truly blessed!
a bit about the presents they gave us.
well, actually, we were being a bit too demanding.. that week, we kept hinting to sujen that we gave our seniors a whole boxful of ferrero rochers each & that this year we didn't have any. boohoohoo. yeah, the whole works la. but guess what? they actually did get us something! and it IS better than ferrero, just as promised! I can't believe a chocoholic such as myself just typed that, but seriously. it was the loveliest wind chime I've ever laid my eyes upon. if I only had a cam. sighh. bet dadda's enjoying the sony e. in tibet. sighh. more on that later. they also gave each of us a little plague. I really like it. It looks so much better than my 6A pmr trophy. ptui!
ok, so that was friday. there's more on saturday. go look at something green & leafy before resuming. I bet your eyes are probably watering with exhaustion right now. lol.
hmm, so saturday.. woke up a couple of times in my sleep until I realised it was *gasp* almost 11. yikes. there goes my morning. I dunno what I did to the rest of my morning, actually. before I knew it, it was 2+ & I had to get ready for church. I almost forgot I was commentating for youth mass!! AAAAAAAAARGH!!!!! anyhoo, my mind was too occupied thinking of how to get to church. after a 5 dollar cabby ride, I was welcomed by shawn who was pointing at his wrist. yeah yeah. I wasn't THAT late, alright? practised singing with the mike but kept receiving the same feedback. too soft!! I was trying my best!!! oh well, the real thing went ok, sortta. father actually confronted me cos' I said 'though' instead of 'through'. YIKES! okok. sorry father! first and the last time!!! thanks for everyone's support. love y'all to the core! especially angila (my guide), iris (my mentor), dez (who did very well for responsorial psalm. you go, girl!), sabai (thank you for yer sms, jamie..) stef & mich. *hugs all of 'em*
stayed for youth meeting since my 'rents weren't in anyways.. spent a lot of time chit-chatting with the people around church. there were quite a number of cars pouring in to see this sinsei who was having a workshop in one of the halls.. the rest of the youth went off to makan while I stayed behind since I wasn't hungry (so, what's new?) and I was on a high. lol. anyway, somebody found out after that and was feeling bad for leaving me alone, all by myself, in the dark and the cold. *sniff* rofl. too bad I saw nothing of that, since I was soooo high that day. ;) I really needed a hug but there was no one in sight who looked friendly enough to go give 'em a back-breaking hug. so, yeah, I had to settle for my backbone-less bag, which was stolen! by siang! bish! and my mom called so many times too. he must've felt the uncomfortable vibration every now and then. hyuk. serves him right. lol.
as you can tell, I still am pretty high.. ask cass. she knows. she says she's keeping the chat log too. so what? there was one point where she was typing to herself cos' I was communicating with her via the personal message function. haha. weirdo. *sticks tongue out at her*
while we're on the topic of my lesbo partner, she attended the 80th anniversary dinner (read last post to find out more) on sat. gosh. I saw some of the photos and boy, was I dumbfounded. everyone looked so purdy! (translation: pretty) and all dressed up and.. and.. whoa. just whoa. boss looked so hawt, man. honest opinion. *flashes a wide grin*
alright, that's all for this post, tune in next time! byebye! lalalaa. *author runs off into the wilderness in search of a huggable person*
p/s: jie called today! :D miss you, jie!

It's hard to remember how it felt before
Now I found the love of my life
Passes things, get more comfortable
Everything is going right
After all the obstacles
It's good to see you now with someone else
And it's such a miracle that
You and me are still good friends
