It's been almost a week hasn't it? A pretty hectic one too.
For starters, I have a lab report to finish writing up (by next weekend hopefully) as well as a reflective essay which is due this coming Tuesday. I hadn't expected Year 2 to really pile up so much pressure in such a short amount of time. I miss Year 1 and all those carefree moments now. Doesn't help that I really need to bank in on this semester to pull up my WAM which literally plummeted the previous sem. :/ All to secure one of those exchange slots, as a backup plan should I fail (I'm pretty sure I will) to get a privileged slot this coming semester. I really want to go over to Aussie in Sem 2, it's Winter! Innit? :/
Anyways, coming back to this.
After a.. month? of planning. Things were finally under, for Mingle-Mingle Night 2012. It's a Pharmacy exclusive-event aimed at bringing everyone, from Year 1 to 4 closer together, as a Pharmily. :P
Things did feel a bit rushed this time, as things didn't really go smoothly during the start. Venues were booked, last minute changes, budget cuts, etc. But that didn't faze us, or rather the organizers, Dave and Joshiee. Okay maybe it did a little. Anyhow, most of the people helping out with everything, food, sound, deco were from Year 2. Go Year 2! :D
Among the prep work was going out to buy paper cups and plates with Joshiee the day before the event. Damn, my arms hurt from lugging around 4 giant tongs of water. The food, was Domino's pizza, which we had to carry in from the main gate. Doesn't help that Building 6 was at the other end of campus. Right, the venue this time round was 6-3-02 and 6-3-03, which were 2 adjacent classrooms. The latter being the usual class for us Year 2s. Well, both the rooftop and foyer were booked for the day for other events, so we had to make do. :)
Classes ended at 4pm that day. LET THE PREP BEGIN!
The deco team blowing up the balloons for the game later on.
As well as working on the.. banner. :D Le awesome handwriting, from Adeline.
Logistics finally shifted out ALL the classroom tables and arranged the chairs. Damn, that was backbreaking work.
The food station readying up at 6-3-02.
Joshiee boy helping out with the balloons as well.
Tonight's menu. Yum.
The preparations were finished at roughly 5.40ish. Just in time for Mingle Night to begin. We did overshoot by roughly 10 minutes but least things were starting to move.
Jhii handling the registration booth.
More deco. :D
The ribbons used to randomize the groupings. There wasn't really much mingling between the different classes the year before so this was a new system. Which did not really work. :P People still chose their own colours. Ah well. I took blue. GO BLEUU. Didn't make a difference anyway, was stuck at the sound booth the entire day. Oh right, remember I said Year 2's were the team this year? I was in charge of sound, which meant I got to choose the soundtrack! WOOTS. Too bad Dave didn't let me play all my songs. Had to mainstream-ify the tracks. :(
Joshiee and Jeanie kickstarting the event. They were the emcees for the night.
AND SO IT BEGINS.
Welcome peeps! :D
The first event of the day was masterminded by none other than Master Dave himself! It was a game based on a Hong Kong gameshow which involved a person selecting a random number within a specific range of numbers. The groups would then have to send a representative to select a number within that range. If the number wasn't the one picked earlier, the range would be reduced. If it was.. POOF. Punishment for the whole group. Familiar?
First round was off, and Dave went "Kin Hoe will select the first number." I must admit, I did stone abit. Gahahaha. So yeah.
Your time starts now. JENGJENGJENG.
One of the punished groups :p
Ironic though, the first
unlucky group was blue, and that was the colour of my band. The number chosen was 77, and yes you're welcomed. :D For some reason Adeline knew which number I picked so her team dodged a bullet when it came down to either 77 or 78.
The thing is, the second number was chosen by Jean, who had a pink band. And guess which team got chosen then? PINK. :D
You could feel the tension in the air as the game was underway. 'twas the suspense as the clock kept ticking and any number chosen could very well send the entire team into punishment mode. :P Hee.
Though.. there wasn't really much of a punishment in my opinion. The options were performing either "Airband, Doraemon dance, or the Ultraman Dance" The middle being the easiest, and the first and last being.. Well. They were both performed during last year's Pharmacy Night. And during both sessions, the performers from that night came up instead. Ah well. :D Main thing is everyone had fun. Heh.
Then it was dinner time. Everyone scrambled over to the next room to pick up their 3 slices of pizza. :D
Second game, coordinated by Joshiee, Dave and I. Something called King, Queen, Jack. Essentially, you had to pair up with someone and each word represented a different pose the team has to assume. Jack being a piggyback ride, Queen required one member to sweep the other off the feet. Literally. Like a bridal carry. And King is the easiest I suppose. One person became the "throne" and the other sat on him.
Had to do a demo with Dave so the rest of the people got it. Dam LOL moment.
Soo and Wygene. Le Queen position!
The Year 2 guys going for Jack.
No idea what they are doing but Jhii looks so cute here! :D
Dave overseeing the players. Le King. :D
After a few rounds.. ALL THE GUYS were knocked out. WTH. ): So it was a femme fetale showdown at the end. In the end there were 3 final pairs, 1 from Year 4, 1 from Year 3, and 1 from Year 1.
After another 10 rounds, we had to resort to Time Attack and Sudden Death to decide the winner.
Gahaha. :)
Le final game of the night.
Balloons anyone?
Sad to say I died within the first 2 minutes.. TWICE. -.- Dammit! My foot started to cramp real bad after that. Whole day spent in my ridiculously tight shoes. Maybe I should have gotten a size larger. Bah.
Le final round.
After that, the night was over. Joshiee wrapped up the event, and everyone started heading off. You were a really good emcee la bro, so proud of you.
:')
Le fellow year 2 students.
Pharmily. :)
BACK TO MY REPORT. I've procrastinated enough. Or... ME3! :D
