A small role, a big return, it was worth it!!! The IU day of SMKDU.

this was suppose to b written weeks ago but time wasnt on my side. hmmm... not bad huh???

The IU day or The International Understanding Day was organized by the Leo Club of SMK Damansara Utama on the 21st of april 2007 at the SRJK (C) Sungei Way hall. the theme of that show was "A world of dances!". i played a small role in the success of that event as i was the emcee of the show.

the show was fantastic! i repeat, FANTASTIC! i have no idea how a bunch of secondary school kids can organize this kind of show, but i have to say, they were awesome! of course, it was with the help of some adults from the Lions Club of KL Taman Tun.

the dances were plenty which includes cha cha, samba, hip hop, break dance, traditional, tap, contemp, n many more. the gals were hot too!!! ha ha ha... what can i say, i m a guy though!

i had my co-emcees who really rocked the stage. they were Jo Erh n Jia Yi. i had my cons in the beginning, stunned 4 no reason, slip of tongue i guess. hmmm... i juz cant help it...

salutes to the event manager, Adrian, for doing such a wonderful job. i m not forgetting Siew Wei on the technical side, Teresa on the event flow side, n my favorite, Victor who gave the emcees shocking changes on the event flow... he did a great job though... respects from me...

how the hell a uni student like me who had nothing to do with the leos got the emcee-ing job? here it goes... i have a friend named Charmaine who is a Leo. she recommended me to Nicholas, the OC of the event. i was then called by another fren, Su Wen, who asked me whether i can do it or not. well, i agreed. Nicholas then called me to inform about the rehearsal. i had to go, no choice i guess... sigh...

i had to take the bus from Sg. Long to KTM Serdang which takes me 40 minutes. then i had to take the commuter to KL Sentral, 20 minutes. then, i had to change to the LRT towards Tmn Bahagia, 15 minutes. cab to the place of the event, 15 minutes. time consumed during wait-for-trains stint is not included. i had to go through this for 3 days including the day of the event. i have to say, it was seriously tiring...

They had a post mortem meeting on the 1st of May 2007 at Lion Chu's place, the advisor for the Leos. i was invited. had a nice lunch at Chilli's with Adrian, Jia Yi, Siew Wei, n Teresa before the meeting. the meeting was to rectify things so that the coming commitee can do well... i had my share of comments, giving them a thank you speech which includes the congratulating statement for their success and i was given a souvenier as a token of appreciation... that is what i call sentimental... fu-yoh!!!

i used to wonder, why m i wasting my time, money, n energy doing stuff for this bunch of secondary school kids? thinking of it now, it was worth every minute, every penny, and every ounce of energy... Leos of SMKDU rock big time!!!

now, i m really starting to like the Pussy Cat Dolls... they know what i m talking about... hmmm...

the event has ended, but the ties will still go on... frenz foreva!!!
