Trying 2 Piece Everything Together...

Pre-event:

Fundraising:

1. Cookies: Good 2 sell! only thing is hv 2 trouble May 2 make..
May, if you dun mind, really thanks!
Can u describe what kind of cookies, n how much u can make, so we can plan how 2 sell it? Thx ya.

2. Chun Lian: Ken, chun lian is gr8. Can sell then d rest can use 4 decor. How much is d cost? I hope is zero... Then, ask ur grandad 2 write as much as possible, when he free la, dun overwork him, haha..

3. CNY Cards with Caligraphy(just an idea): Anybody know whr 2 get CNY cards in bulk 4 cheap price? Everybody keep a lookout ok!

We send d cards 4 them. On d cards, we write d recipients Malay name in chinese characters(refer 2 post 'Fund Raising') and also let d sender write their personal message. We also write some auspicious CNY greetings in caligraphy 2 decorate d card. Should be nice.

Who knows how 2 write caligraphy? (juz decently nice wil do already...mine is so so bad...) i'm thinking neo, ken, ban long.. any others? i'm juz guessing.. if u can, plz tel ok!

Decor:

Chaer wil mainly b in charge of this. Juz listen 2 her, lol.
Chaer, 4 d budget, anythg up 2 RM100 sud b ok. Jean can u confirm this? Decor is v important for setting d mood, makes a lot of diffenrence 2 d event. Thank you so much for doin this Chaer.
Juz 1 thg, i realise 4 many events, thr is 1 very nice spot whr every1 wil want 2 take a photo thr wan, i was hoping u cud create such a spot..if itz ok ya, thx.

Oh ya, i duno wat u mean by styrofoam.. Thr wil b a projector tht nite, 4 d video.. So how do u work tht out?

Everybody, bring all d ang pow packets u hv ok, ask frm ur parents, last year wan oso bring! They r very usefull 4 making decor.

Publicity:

Jesh, can u help wit posters(juz simple informative ones wil do) n making d invitations 4 d teachers. Thx.

Admin:

Boon Seong wil book d hall.
Wai shan, can u work on d proposal 4 rog when u r free. By d end of this hol, i think most of d plan 4 this event sud b in place dy. Thx ya.

Event:

FYI, thr wil b no fasion show, it is impossible.

D event can only start at 8pm due 2 prayer time.

Any ideas 4 items 2 b done during d event r still welcomed.

This timeframe is just a rough guess, n d event will most probably drag on longer than stated.

Timeframe:

8.00pm - Call 4 students to arrive, play CNY MV.

8.15pm - Teachers arrive. Speeches.

Opening Ceremony: invite Dr. Horsfal 2 hv lou sang on d stage, we hold it high up in d air until they start clapping, haha. Then we take a bite each.

Souvenier: (i duno bout gving it last, but it has always been in d beginning, stick 2 tradition lo)
d souvenier, in order of mi preference(this is jz mine, wat do u all think?): 1. Big Chinese Drawing(wai shan's idea) 2. Traditional Chinese Clothes 3. Kat Chai Tree 4. Lion Dance Head 5. Tea Set *(my rational is big over small) Dear ppl, plz gv price quotes 4 these items.

8.30pm - Dinner. Seniors mentioned tht dinner muz b 1st, 4 obvious reasons. Play CNY MV.

9.00pm - Main performance: I really need info on this, itz a v big deciding factor 4 d whole event! All of u who say u knw sm ppl who can do this, juz ask d price n report ok. Waiting 4 Dom 2 find out bout d Chinese Ochestra.

Drama/Sketch - Ei Jean is working on this. I will probably help coordinate this.

9.20pm - Dance. May has taken care of this. Many thanks.

Drama/Sketch

9.35pm - Video.

Drama/Sketch

9.45 - Chinese Yoyo. Thanks 2 Boon Seong 4 performing this.

Drama/Sketch

9.55 - Lucky Draw. I'm thinking, we have 4 small prizes(mayb an ang pow wit rm2 in it) n 1 attractive big prize(mayb a hamper or Big Chinese Drawing). When each winning number is called out, d winner will go on stage. D winner will hv to use chopsticks 2 transfer 3 peanuts 1 by 1 from 1 bowl over a distance 2 another bowl in 20 seconds. D crowd will count frm 20 to 0 aloud 2gether with d emcee, sud b fun. D 1st winner who can do it will get d hamper! If nobody can do it, then hamper goes 2 last winner lo. This sud really get d crowd 2 hv fun. But if itz a chinese called out, sud easily b able 2 do it, duno how 2 solve this problem..

End d event wit this.

Tht's about it, a summary. Did I miss anythg?

Everythg can b discussed n changed.
Comments, ideas, opinions, see any problems, plz.

I was just thinking of the invitations that's why i visit here. Asking jesh is a good idea. But did you ask him already? Just in case he didn't check out this site.

The styrofoam ah... The white stuff where people cut to do wordings during functions. Erm... You know,when we painted pictures for Rotaract installation. That one la. What Chaer wants to know is whether you want to use that to do the wordings or not cuz if yes then we have to buy lo.

I know that time Deepavali night we didn't use the styrofoam but used the projecter instead. That's because the drama was on and we couldn't use the stage. That's why there's no place to put the backdrop.

I'm half way done with the proposal. So when college reopens we can give it straight to Pn Rog.

And btw, regarding the souvenirs right, I think last year they gave the lion dance head. Not sure la but i remember seeing it in the video.

For the lucky draw prizes, i don't think that giving ang pao with money in it would be a good idea. Cuz if little looks like we kiam siap la... Just an opinion la...

Ken, d caligraphy write as muc as possible la. D mouse thg ask Chaaer lo, i hv no idea how she wana do it.

Wai Shan, wat do u think we sud gv 4 lucky draw, anythg nice but cheap? We definitely need a projector 2 broadcast d CNY MV n video. Where sud we put d screen? Deepavali they put in d centre rite? I cant really remember. Will it block d stryrofoam?

Anonymous said...

ok, then if wan sell it for college ppl, u think is it suitable ?

wan or not ?

S said...

I can't think of something for luckydraw 1st. Which means I need to do some shopping, or window shopping. Hehe.. Will try to get prices and tell you.

For Deepavali, the screen was right in the middle. That's because as I said, we couldn't use the whole stage but only the front part of the big stage, that's why they didn't have a backdrop but used the screen to project whatever they want. And that is also because they only use the screen at the beginning until the video, which is one of the 1st program, ended.

So, if we want to use the styrofoam to do a backdrop, we either only lower the screen during the video presentation OR we project the thing at the wall next to the stage(which people usually do. Like during HAW closing ceremony) OR we don't do a backdrop but project everything on the screen(Like Deepavali night). I think it depends on whether Chaer is planning to make a backdrop or not.

But we hv dancing n yoyo n drama n lucky draw game, all need 2 use d stage wan wor... so cant use d screen rite...(unless move it up n down al d time) if project on d wall can c? Tht means need backdrop.. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wai Shan, u knw whr 2 get d big chinese paintings? Tht wud b juz lovely.

S said...

Erm... I think it's better with a backdrop but also depends on whether the others are willing to do or not.
But if not... we can still use the screen. But the video have to put at the beginning of the dinner. Like after speeches and souvenir giving ceremony.
Or you can put the video at the very end. Which means screen will be down at the beginning until the performance is on. Then put down the screen again at the end.
Ya...If you project on the wall,it could be seen but of course using the screen it's nicer.

Oh yes, I know where to get the paintings but the price maybe high. What's the budget for both souvenirs anyway?

Anonymous said...

rm50 4 both, max 60. Can get?

S said...

Erm..... I don't think so. I didn't really check it out but my dad, who loves chinese painting and has lots of it at home, says it's difficult to get one at that price.

I just realised you have so many questions to be answered and u didnt ask me.. aiyoyo..

1st- souvenir, cannot giv lion heads, we gave last year.

2nd-stage- u dun need to hav a backdrop but u hav to hav something decorations on the stage. I prefer if u close the curtains at the back to cover the ugly board and stick watever u wan on the curtain. coz the board really sucks..

3rd- screen- u can request for a big white cloth, so u can screen watever u wan on the cloth, instead of the screen. technical team has the white cloth, they can set up for u.

4th- decoration- the mousy mousy thing. quite adorable. but i prefer if the hall can look a lil bit grand and not too childish. so it's up to u to decide if mousy mousy are ok.. haha..

Hope it helps~
