Memo# 39 : Interact Installation Night

UPDATE!!!!

Finally after 1 month, I reason being i was busy with homework and the second reason because the internet speed was so slow i couldn't even load blogger to log in.



After planning Interact Installation Night for 2 weeks, yesterday was successful to say the least.
Firstly, there was a major turnout when initially ticket sales were low. I think all 100 seats were occupied. Thanks to 5 Rigel for the biggest turnout and showing the most support.


Secondly, the theme being Oscar Night, participants were encouraged to wear suits and tuxedos. But being pessimistic, I thought there would only be a few Form6 wearing a suit that night.
Surprisingly, almost everybody turned up in a suit. Only 2 or 3 people wore jeans that night.


The Interact Installation Night is when The new Board Members are installed by the old board members of the interact Club.




Since we being the New Board members, couldn't really sit and enjoy the whole night while the formal part of the evening was still going on.


The biggest problem by far would be the music deejaying, because most of the time we needed to tell the guy manning the P.A. to start the music. The schedule didn't really help because the whole night was in chaos. Everything that we planned had to be spontaneously modified to suit the timing. Nothing went according to schedule

It started later than intended to we had to go straight to dinner after the speeches.

There was supposed to be games before dinner but since everybody was hungry we had top cut straight to dinner.

Later the band, Bread and Jam by Jude and Mark entertained the crowd by playing acoustic.

The games were at the end after the Installation of the new board members at 9.30
I really thought that was the end and really nothing to do.
The party was supposed to end at 10.30 but at 9.30 almost everything had been done except for the Best Dressed Award.

Joshua and Laura won best dressed for the night!


It looked like people would leave and that would be it.
Sean came with his I.S friends and so did Tim and Stella.



But they actually got the dance floor going. The music was...not consistent..
People started enjoying themselves on the dance floor anyway.
There was even a dance battle between Emrys of 5Rigel against Dalton of U6S..
It was amazing seeing them dance.


The whole thing went all the way to 11pm which was the limit by the management.

All in all it was s successful event hosted by the new board members of Interact Club.
Full turnout and majority followed the dress code.



Here's to a great teamFrom left : Brandon, Johnson, Eunice, Laura, Me, Jason D, Jason C

Memo# 37 : Best....Movie....Evaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autobots Roll Out!!!!!!!!

After church went to watch Transformers with Kimmy and Daryl.
At first I was feeling lazy to go, but a higher power told me to go watch.

I was at church and the priest was talking bout Jesus and telling people about sacrifice with worldly attachments if they intended to follow God. They must leave everything behind and follow Jesus.
So Bishop Lee was talking about "transform us" and he repeated it like more than 10 times.
So later I got the hint, transform us...transform us...TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!

So after mass I told Daryl and we planned to watch Transformers...
yeah...God loves us...

I went to Merdeka today because my mom wanted to change to a new pair of frames.
Haha...got her to buy Zero X ... sooooooo NOT my mom's normal usual style but very modern and cool.

After my parents went off to send my brother to watch Transformers for the 1.30pm show at Cathay, I waited for Kim n Daryl cause our movie was at 2.45pm

Transformers

Another summer blockbuster but by Michael Bay infamous for Pearl Harbour, Fantastic Four and other stuff I can't remember.
So the story starts out with a giant Cube-like object falling onto Earth.
The soldiers at Qatar are returning back to base and Sergeant Lennox and his group arrive only to be attack late at night by a Copter Unit that was reported to have fallen..which turns out to be an evil destructive robot!!! And that's only just the starting!!
Transformers is filled with everything a guy would love which are eye-candy,cool cars,Hummers, trucks , fighter jets,giant scorpion robots, handphones that come to life, humour,
and most important DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!
The way the robots are transformed do confuse me because I don't really know where fits in where and sometimes the camera angles done by Bay leaves me with a headache. I do agree with other bloggers that the story was more towards the humans than the Giant Robots that ARE the main stars of the show.

Yet the story never gets boring and there aren't many long conversations where you can sneak in the washroom awhile after drinking too much Cola and missing just 1 minute will leave you with many question marks.
When robots fight, Chaos ensues. The best by far is still Bumblebee(old junk Chevrolet Camaro) throwing Witwicky(Shia) out of the car and driving off and replicating the new Chevrolet Sportscar and picking them back up.

I have no idea what the purpose of the spectacles were in the end because it didn't really matter due to the fact that the Cube(AllSpark) was in the hands of Sector 7.

I personally think the city scene was a bit confusing with everything moving at a fast pace and weird camera angles..

But all in all i really like the whole movie...coz well..what's there NOT to like
I give this movie a 10/10 hahaha coz I am a guy and I grew up with Transformers!!!

Autobots, Roll Out!!!

Memo# 36 : Court or Courting

As I know I'm not very good in public speaking
Thus i have remained often quiet in front of new people.
Yet just sometimes people take it that acquiring a minimum level of speaking English justifies me actually being competent in English. I know joining these competitions would only boost my confidence and help me in the long run


What I'm talking about is the Mock Trial. This is not to be confused with Mooting for mooting is the process of appeal in court while the mock trial is somewhat like an actual trial with witnesses, cross examining, lawyers and hard hitting questions.




Too bad the Mock Trial Final between AllSaints and Tsung Tsin was more like a mockery of the justice system. Not to be too heavily critical of their performance for it was a good and interesting trial. Only some parts it wasn't as smooth as it should have been.


Most witnesses accounts are said with inaccurate or inconsistent testimonies while the judge being a little easier with them, a real serious trail would have the lawyers apologizing frantically to the judge while he swears and throws their submission onto the floor and questioning the competence of the lawyers

Josh was getting emotional ..hahaha.... with the teams as he watched from a far not being in the finals. He would have been had more concentration if they had made it to the finals.
From what I heard La Salle presented and won the case against All Saints in the preliminary
round but lost on performance because it is a team effort where the witnesses from both teams are judged.

All Saints won in the end and the proceedings lasted from 9.30a.m. to 1.00p.m.
Picked up Potriyan at Centre Point and sent the teacher back to school.
Later dropped by at the Boarding House to change and even had lunch there.
Eunice didn't follow after that so it was me,pot and laura to go and check out venues for Interact Installation Nite and Prom Night.



Shangrila Tanjung Aru Resort should be sending me the quotations tomorrow and the other places we checked were all closed in the particular department so have to call back.
I am aiming for STAR or Promenade even though it could be expensive...the venue for me is the most important.

I have too many responsibilities in Form6 but am not bored at any 1 moment

Memo# 35 : Moving On

My friends are leaving to further their studies and *smacks head* i just went back to my school of 5 years...
Though my decision is totally is up to my discretion, i can't help but wonder what would have become if i went to melaka




Friday nite was the farewell party of Louise Chin and Glenngary from the choir
We had dinner at Warisan Square but only had Yogur Berry

That place is so expensive for yogurt that they didn't spell it with a "T"
Maybe someone stole the "T" from "Yogur" so they jacked up the prices to compensate losses



Not many people, just a small gathering, most of my friends are leaving choir and moving on.
I was supposed to join them but remained. God will find a way...i hope



So the gathering was quiet and I met an old pal there, Adrian who now works at Fish & Co



Good luck to my friends who are pursuing their dreams.
