17th June- Continue...

4th Matter- Mikasa's Delievery
When I was on the bus back home then I recalled that where is the invoice for Mikasa as it has already delivered on Thursday. So I sms Si Jia and asked her about it. Her reply: "Idk. Ask dennis. :(." This was actually the how many don't know I have heard just from that 3 hours plus with you. So I was thinking you have no idea for most of the stuff I asked you.
I replied her that the invoice usually comes together with the delievery and so most likely maybe its with keng yong or inside the box though I would still ask Dennis about it. And so again then she realised about the fact for invoice (that is usually with the delivery) and said will ask keng yong about it.
She was supposed to collect the delievery (it's just a box) before 6pm but she only reached 7pm. So when she reached, she was like signalling me to go. But I don't want. So i like ask Lester to dig the ball with me. Haha. This is my first action of staying away from her. So the invoice issue just gonna wait.
Miscellaneous Stuff
Alright, someone's 21st is due in September and so part of the SOP is to get her the birthday gift. I went to ask Christie about it then found out she has bought already! Haix. Means I cannot tap on her brain to think of what to buy liao. Wanted to ask Yng Tyng but Grace was around, not sure whether can I ask in front of her so didn't ask her in the end. I am quite sure Yng Tyng will be invited though thinking now Grace should be invited as well. haha.
So i need to remember to go ask Yng Tyng about it. :)
Today Christie's junior volleyball team for the Volleyfest came down for friendly. Their team is not bad for us in recrea level but may not be good enough to win in the event. They got short balls and are those really down if there are no blockers. Christie was hiding all the way from all these balls! Haha.
Out of the 3 sets played, we won 2 sets. Not bad isn't it?! But that's because we have got Paul and Christie for their power service, Lester and Eugene (pro players) and Joel for receiving only I guess? Haha!
Though I was inside their team but seriously I didn't do much as my judgement was off. haha. Balls that are in become out to me and vice-versa. Haha. But it's okay. :D
Elson and Ting Ting told me that I received a very very low ball from a spike from their team. But I seriously CANNOT recall. They kept telling me its really very nice as the spiked ball was really low. Hm... Haha.
Lastly, when we were keeping the balls, I counted the number to be 9 and so we lacked of one ball. In the end, the last ball I was actually holding on to it. And Chrisite, Iggie and she all alughed. I was in that state because of you lo. And you stll can laugh.
One last thing I guess. I went back yesterday without showering as the girls toilet is filled with basketball girls. So I decided to head back home. When going up the stairs, I saw Keng Yong. So quickly grabbed the chance to ask him about the filling in of forms. He said best is not to sign for the participants in any forms.
Then ho seh liao lor. She went to sign for Cheryl's form as witness. I asked her about this during volleyball session. She kept telling me its nothing. I also know its nothing, understnad it as 'just-for-show'. But because we are the organizers now, we ought to be more careful. Haix. Seriously you like never grow up. Okay, finally finish blogging. Think I could not fall back into sleep is because of ALL these. But talking to Christie about some of the stuff here, feel relieved finally. :)

25th June 2011- Volleyfest Day 1 and Preview

Okay.. Finally settle the issue with posting and so posted the previous posts I didn't manage to post earlier.
As you can see all the posts were on her basically. Okay, maybe I shall continue with it. Talk about what happened during the event.
So we stayed over in school in the sports club room on Friday night. After the usual Friday's volleyball session, we proceed to the sports club room and we started our preparation work for the next day's event.
I would say okay, the whole preparation work is rather smooth. First time I see guys folding clothes (the t-shirts for participants) and Lester pumping only 10 balls using about 2 hours. Haha. I was cutting the Mr Bean voucher from A3 size paper into small slips. I am pro in using pen knife to cut paper already because my holiday job requires me to cut newspaper advertisements. Haha. So just nice the skill is able to put into use. :D
Then after getting the goodie bags done, we got the tables and necessary stuff down into the multi-puropose hall 5 that nearly killed most of the guys as the tables and white board were really heavy! Haha. I carried it once and its enough to see how heavy the table was. Haha.
Some problems were met when setting up the net as the net is cui. Haha. The middle of the net always sag and so we got to set the net real high before pulling the net sidewards real hard to get the height we want and at the same time the middle part was okay.
Next was about the arrangement of the tables like where should be the registration booth and where should be the goodie bags booth. Ok la, this arrangement thingy got nothing much to talk about. Main thing was her idea on the arrangement wasn't really correct and so in the end headed for my suggestion.
So things were almost done and it's supper time! Eugene wanted to call for Mac so that we don't have to travel and we all could eat together. However, I was seriously need to abstain from those heaty stuff as we are gonna to stay throughout the night and also next day. So a part of us wanted to go to Foong Seng there. I went to ask Eugene if he wants to eat there. He replied to me in a slightly harsh tone saying that "I'm not going to drive there hor.".
I was like, wow. I never ask you to drive there because you have explained to me that the parking fees all that. We all can walk there as it is also considered part as a bonding session as we get to talk along the way. Ok lor, half went foong seng and half had mac.
During the supper at foong seng, the few of us actually had a heart to heart talk. Bascially on her again. I was so agitated that the rest all finished eating their food but I wasn't even halfway through. There were so many things to talk about.
Okay, then we headed back and around raffles hall there, we saw the SOC la, police cars again for me and Huisi. Haha. They were there for an excercise.
During the time we were at foong seng, she actually feedbacked to those who were in the sports club room to soften down as her keng yong was sleeping inside the room. Those who were there wasn't very happy.
After supper we bathed at the SRC toilets. Wow, it was super quiet and when I was bathing inside, I actually don't feel very safe and uncomfortable as I was the only girl in the toilet! Elson and Dennis were at the guys toilet. They crapped that maybe they should enter the girls toilet with me. Haha. But in the end still never as we never know who may come in and see them and they will be ho seh liao. Haha. Lucky nothing happened during the time I was alone in the girls toilet. :)
By the time we were done, it was about 3am I guess. Participants reporting time was at 7am. Left 4 hours only. I decided not to sleep as seriously, sleeping for that few hours is not enough. I might as well not sleep. So we discussed and decided to watch movie again! Haha.
Initially we chose B+侦探 but it has too much of talkings and they couldn't hear the sounds properly as we cannot blast the sound too loud. The talkings were soft but the sound effects were loud. Too much talkings also caused us to be sleepy also. Haha. So we changed to the "Priest" i think which was more action pact according to Elson.
When we finally finished watching the movie, its 6 am already. We need to take ice but no driver as if not they got to pay for the parking and so Elson and Yingpeng walked to Sheares Hall to get ice and they were back by 630pm. Considered fast.
Meanwhile we need to breakfast. So I ordered Macdonalds and it actually need an hour! By then we need to start our event liao.
Indeed, the rest woke up too late and when we were down to open the MPSH, about 20 to 30 participants reached. I feel so paiseh as we should reach earlier than them but we were not. I think its the comm members who feel the rush rather than the head feels the rush.
Before going down to MPSH, I nearly wore slippers down as I thought only the event t-shirt is neccessary. BUT! Last minute she said we need to wear covered shoes. Ho seh lor. No extra socks and got to re-wear those on Fridays. Its okay but can't she just mention things earlier?
And we have got helpers came from home and I bet they did not know about this. Definately, few helpers were seen wearing slippers around. Seriously cannot make it.
I clearly remember when we were inside, many came to queue to register already here goes the busiest period of the day. We need to check the forms; make sure all is signed appropriately and all participants submitted a safety and health declaration forms each. However, many did not know about this even though Elson actually did send email and sms the captain of each team. So many captains came to tell me that they do not have enough forms!
We only prepared like 30 forms each and so this is obviously not enough! So I was quite upset by this fact and told them not in a very nice way (haha) that they should know about this and I do not have enough forms for them. They looked shocked and felt helpless too. Haha. I reported this matter to Elson first and asked him to help me tell Si Jia I think as she's the head of this event afterall.
Somehow in the end, Keng Yong and Elson came back with the forms and handed to me and so we finally got the registration down. Phew. If not it is really going to be in a mess. In the end, they printed too many extras as the afternoon teams almost all handed in the forms from their side.
After that then I get to know that sports club room has a printer..
I want to thank Huisi and another girl which I forgot her name for helping me to mann the registration booth as I seriously don't want to sit just there. Haha. So I was walking around most of the times but of course still did my primary job which was to take care of the registration.
During the midst of registration, that sickening girl wanted to gather all the captains for a safety breifing. But... She talked as if she is going to scold them. Tsk tsk tsk. How can she speaked in this kind of tone? Many went to feedback at her and again she said she know. Faint.
So the MCs managed to settle their side. However, they left a peiece of paper which contains a paragraph which they annouced as and when to say something about this event lying around. And the words were hand written. Insiders will know they came up with this last minute (it's okay) but the piece of paper will let others know that this is just a disorganized event and we were like so screwed up.
That piece of paper kept appearing in front of my eyes. But in the end I still did not do anything about it as the head doesn't care about it and why should me?
Luckily each game took lesser than 10 minutes which we estimated for and we managed to break for lunch and even ended earlier. So things were still considered smoothly.
Okay, the best part was I need to be inside the Great Eastern team to help them play! However unwilling I am, I know I need to be in. The only reason is they were our sponsor. So fine. The feeling was okay just that the caffeine effect combined with my tiredness made myself so lost. And their shirt also not very nice. Haha.
Okay la. Thinking back all these stuff everything was okay just that it is HER again..
