Chinese New Year in MMU
Well, 4th March 2007 was the Banquet dinner that is organized by the CNYE committee. I was one of them. I was in the group that was in charge of the food for the banquet but on the day of the event itself, there is shortage of manpower and therefore some of the committee members had to become waiters and waitresses for the day. The guest-of-honour for this event is the deputy minister of finance, YB Dato’ Dr. Ng Yen Yen and the vice president of MMU, Prof. Dr Chuah.
The event start of with the first dish, a must have for Chinese New Year, Yee Sang. I’m in charge of taking out the dishes, but luckily, I only responsible for the first 2 dishes which supposedly to be served all at once, but I’ll be in charge of pouring tea to all the guests with 3 other girls. And things go well for the night except that a dancer hurt her leg after accidentally step on a thumbtack while dancing.
Well, the event can be considered a success. I almost gave up to be part of the committee of this event as I had other commitments and also want to concentrate on my studies but I did not because I don’t like to give up on task that I took up even though I make not like what I did.
But to tell the truth, I don’t think that I will be part of it again, because I had experience in this event and wanna try something else, and also the bad experiences related to it and I think there’s a lot of people that almost gave up on being part of the committees as they also had bad experiences like me – bad organisation, cancelled meetings without informing me, and the organising committee failed terribly to had the working committees (working committees are the people of lower ranking in the committee and do all the jobs where the organising committee did the planning of an event) to see the vision as they did.
Yeah, I do made some friends but based on the feedback that I heard, the committee members did not get satisfaction from being part of the committee. I had satisfaction from organising other events, but not this though.
I vowed that I will be the one who will be sitting in the hall, enjoying the food rather that being the one serving the guests next year. My cousin was right, it’s hard to enjoy being part of the committee is no fun and she’s right in some way. No point elaborating this further. Sorry if I offend any of the CNYE committee members but that's a fact. But I did not say anything bad about anybody here right? So don't hate me for it. At least, I'm brave enough to say what I don't like rather than people that keep it inside their heart.
Well, a picture says a thousand words and below are some pictures taken for the night.
The venue of the event before the arrival of guests. Peaceful and clean.
