music is my dot dot dot..
ahh.. finally the rock has returned to bintulu. feels so great to escape from all the stuffs in ipba, especially organizing the cohort 4 dinner. man, it was really challenging and exhausting. lots of things to prepare and handle. adrenaline, blood pressures pumping inside the body like steve vai’s guitar solo. (listen to his latest album, ’sound theories’.. it’s great!) and to those who will be organizing the next cohort dinner, here are a few vital tips:
- first thing first. create a great committee who can do a great job. ensure great cooperation is achieved among the committee members. buat perancangan awal. (terima kasih kepada komiti tahun ni. Well done!!)
- consult ur coordinator n make a proposal. make sure there’s a proof that u have been given the green light to do it. surat for dinner and surat for funding activities. make sure it’s approved by the director so that there will be no other party who is envy of us will not interfere with the program.
- Next, collect big, big bucks. start early. no money, no dinner. organize how to collect money among the 5 universities. suggested activities: jual paper, organize carnival (unfortunately x sempat buat ari tu), sell food, bla bla bla..
- plan the activities for the night. performance, emcees, ushers, time and stage management (very2 important).
- Invitation cards. disturb the lecturers and vips at least 1 month prior to the dinner. inform them well about the dinner e.g. time, theme, location.. (include map in the invitation). get confirmation asap.
- transportation. make early reservations for buses and coaster.
- punctuality. make sure everybody is right on time. prevent them from thinking that it’s their cinderella moment.
- have fun. enjoy the dinner. make sure everything’s smooth.
