IMU Charity Run/Carnival 2007 committee dinner

on 5TH october, we had a committee dinner at MOJO.

after all the effort, hard work and dedication put in by all the committe (and sub-committee) members we had a night to party and enjoy ourselves =)
after lecture, we went there and arrived aroung 8 plus..
it was a sort of clubbing place, i don't know cos a hardly ever go to that area at nigh. so this MOJO was a two story place, and the party was at the first floor. after we got there, saying hi to everyone, we started taking photos (favorite pastime)

Yup, as i said in my previous post, i did learn may things from being in the commitee (the head of prizes/souvenir department)
I remeber the day we attended the meeting, and i actually voluteered for the post. i didn't think that it will involve so much of work. at times i regret taking it up but right now, i'm so proud because i did my part contributing to the community.its a great feeling =)
I know how much planning it takes to make an event successful.
I know how important team-work and co-operation is.
and i learn how to trust others but still it doesn't hurt to check and double check again. never assume anything!
i read from a story book that if you "assume"..you will be making an ass out of u and me ass+u+me. get it? and ka keat also agrees with me. hehe =p
and also to ask for help when you need it. and not to panick when everything is not going the way you expect it to be. there will always be a solution (most of the time)
and always have faith. our event was really successful, we surpassed our target by far =) even if there are major and minor hiccups, that is part and parcel of everything right?
and also people are NICE.
during the prize giving, there was a mix up of medals. and this lady from women's open got a high school medal instead. she asked if i could change it for her and left the medal with me. unfortunately, i couldn't get the data of the high school girl. so i had no choice but to return it to her. I was so afriad that she might scold me or something. but when i called her, she was really nice about it and said that she didn't mind coming to IMU to collect it. then later she messged me saying that "its ok and that we learn from our mistakes and that we did an amazing job to raise funds for charity and that she will be looking forward to our next charity run"
how sweet is that?
i felt really bad about the mix-up. but after her msg, i feel so much better.
see? people are nice. and sometimes i worry too much!

all in all, being part of the IMU charity run/carnival committee was a great experience =)
but no more organizing committees for me for a very very long time. seriously.
