A Fall

Today was my first time MC-ing and boy, I was not only nervous but klutzy as well! The event was called the MAGe Festa 2008 organised by the MAGe Club (Manga, Anime and Games enthusiasts ) of my college.

well, jack did asked me to co-host since last sem, but i've turned him down many of times cause, frankly i did not think that i was good enough to mc or not. at that time, one phase was bogging me down - socially inept. i forgot where did i see this phase from, but from the moment i saw it, it just snapped into my mind. then i begun to list down reasons of why i could have been socially inept since i was in primary school. (this story, i shall keep for next time)

so, i had 101 reasons of why i cannot communicate well and therefore, had never imagined myself speaking in front of a crowd without stammering or mumbling too fast. tak tau lah, i can always scare myself and make myself nervous. lol

And Somehow, the wind must have been blowing strongly in a different direction because Somehow, i agree to co-mc the MAGe event with jack. must have been feeling really confident that day, cause the next day, i..had a massive attack of nerves. haha, its pretty silly, come to think of it now. cause even though all worst case scenarios which i have thought of actually happened, i'm glad it did. cause from those scenarios, i can tell myself next time "even the worst thing has happened, what more am i to worry about?"

hmm...so, anyone curious of what my worst case scenarios were? lol
the first one was during the karaoke competition. there was this guy singing a really slow and long ballad. it was so slow that at one point, there was no music at all! so i thought (encouraged by the two jacks') that he was done singing, stepped up and begin to talk!
lol! i can still recall his shocked facial expression when he begin to signal that there was one more part to the song. i had to embarrassingly step back.
lol..even the judges were laughing out loud. malunya...

ok, the second 'incident' went something like this...
the worst thing to happened on stage, when all eyes are on u, is to fall, right?
that happened!
i rushing up, a little too excited, heels got caught, tripped over one of the steps and i fell.
like a big fat pillow. in front of everyone.

think that i should dig a hole and bury my head in it till next year? maybe i shouldn't =P
in fact, i'm thankful for that fall. and obviously embarrassed by it. but i'm more thankful of it cause now that the worst thing has happened, i can carry my head up a little higher and maybe, might mc again. (have to learn more jokes before that la..i was bored hearing myself actually. =S)

one important person that i should thank would be jack tan, for giving me this opportunity to co-mc with him and also to encourage me after the big fall. haha!
he's a really professional event mc, as in those road show events, really funny but ..can be pretty lame at times with his cold jokes. =P

*oh ya, i met michelle there! and she won the karaoke competition! yay!

**its the first time i'm seeing lots of ppl gathering in anime costumes. some of the costumes really blew my mind, and their pockets too. turns out that those costumes cost a small fortune to make, but i think its really really nice. i will get the pics from greg and post it up soon.

Hello 2008. Welcome Welcome. =)

Wow, just another blink of an eye, another year had just swept by so quickly. in just a year's time, I've been through so many ups and definitely plenty of downs, especially in college. I've been so distracted with some matters that it took away my focus on the real aim of going to college, to get good results.

well, honestly i've never been a fantastic student that studies enthusiastically before and after every lesson, complete assignments one week before datelines, studies non-stop since the beginning of sem and always hop up and down to answer the lecturer's questions to earn extra points. i'm not all that, never was. but this year, i kept myself busy with things that i myself rarely enjoy and spent a lot of nights rushing last minute work. yea, i did mention before that 'i'll never have any good ideas to write down for my assignment if i do it earlier. all creativity only comes flowing like a waterfall on the night before the dateline.'
a pretty stupid of an excuse, don't u think?

therefore,
resolution no. 1 do not procrastinate, especially in studies (obviously, cannot expect me to study everyday in the library right? my brain will die u know! read fictional books okay lah)

I've recently been to the ClearWater Sanctuary Golf Resort in Perak with my family. dad and uncle immediately rushed to tee off the moment we reached the place (swt!). me and my cousins had loads of fun doing various sports in the resort. i went fishing for the first time! and and..the first time i casted the bait in, i caught a fish! yay me! damn excited and kembang abit. also, we played tennis, badminton, basketball, table tennis, swimming, cycling and canoeing. it was super chunted FUN!
and at then, i was suddenly hit by the fact of how i was wasting my youth, my life! (lol, over-dramatic edi..keke)
i love sports, but i haven been doing sports alot in 2007, which was really really sad. I remember when i first entered college, the nights after playing basketball, i'll be super high in the hostel (for a while, then fall asleep.hehe..). nights without basketball will be super sad and moody cos ...no mood la. i need sports cos i love the adrenaline rush. well, i'm not an adrenaline junkie though. =P
i'm young, i should still be running around, doing the sports that i love, right? instead of looking back next time, wishing that i had a good back to run or strong legs to play sports. my back has been hurting and legs..always having cramps as usual, signs of aging? =S
anyway,

resolution no. 2 do more sports!

resolution no. 3 drop some responsibilities in clubs and societies to have more 'me' time

resolution no. 4 discover more about my new faith =D

resolution no. 5 spend more time with loved ones (i no longer want to be asked 'Eh, so free to come for family gathering this week wan? very long din see you already oh, not busy ar?")

hah! that took me about an hour! lol..feeling tired now. i was at sunway pyramid just four hours ago, watching fireworks, drinking red wine. i drank one whole bottle of red wine! (small one lar...heh) we were all pretty high in puiyan's car on the way out of pyramid, which took us about one hour just to cross a 100metre stretch. swt! darn a lot of cars! but we were pretty happie, honking away in the car, singing at the top of our lungs. =P haha..that's how crazy girls can get. all in good fun. =)
