all we can do was smile as a gesture to the compliments. we were too tired, and fatigue got the best of us. blame it on the lack of sleep, and disturbance on our sleep pattern.
we were told that the dry-run will be held at 1.oo am, as the ballroom is being used by a wedding function the night before. and when came 0100 hours, we were informed that the banquet told us that the ballroom will ready by 0300 hours.
so we continued our sleep, only to wake up sharp at 3.00 am (thanks to Menaka), with the hope that we will be able to do the dry run as scheduled. much to our dismay, the ballroom was still yet to be ready for the event! the floor was still messy, the backdrop was nowhere to be seen, and the audio was yet to be in place (yes, there are lots of grammar errors here. lantak laa).
we waited until 4 am, and since we've wasted an hour waiting for nothing, both of us decided to return back to our rooms, and came back to the hall by 5.30 am. hoping to be able to conduct at least a dry run for the launching gimmick.
we waited then, and only by 7am, the audio people came and setting up everything, and by that time we had to rush to return back to our rooms, refreshed ourself via shower, and got ready for the event. we only managed to run through the launching gimmick with the team (no dry run tho!).
so, yeah. when one of the speakers mentioned to the crowd, how the emcees are to be congratulated for the job well done, although we were hit by the lack of sleep, we really appreciate it. we feel that we deserve it.
it's not the organising committee members, the chairman, the protocol, the floor manager; but us the bidan-terjun emcees who insisted on having the dry run. yes, other team members also were staying up throughout the morning, waiting for the hall to be cleaned and arranged by the banquet team for the event. but the credit all goes to us. muahahhahaha
sekian luahan hati seorang emcee bidan terjun. nasib all internal VIPs cakap great job to both of us. we can see that our name sure naik punya the next time the company needs emcee. muahahahaha

you must hate this the most. though it's going well, it still feel like crap.
if it's going wrong, i wonder what the reaction would be. :)
it's not that i hate it, it's just that i kinda disappointed lah. u got a big event, which external parties are involved, and yet the emcees to magically control the session based on the script that we prepared on our own, by referring to the ever changing agenda. kalau bercakap je takpela, ni ada launching gimmick, ada presentation slides sumer..
nasib dulu selalu join event.. hahaha
