Let me dream.

Racial Harmony Day '08

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Decided to come post about the great event which we've all been busy for and had ended yesterday:

Racial Harmony Day 2008!

Okay, so on Sunday, about 20 or so Prataburgers went to IMM Giant to purchase the foodstuffs we will need for the event on Monday. Went out in the morning to meet Xinyu, Chiouyih, Sylvia, Jianlong, Jieren, Vincent and Spencer at Little India MRT station. We went around looking for both female and male Indian costumes, bangles and stuffs like that.

The first shop we went into sold the sarees at a discounted price of 15 bucks each, and since it was only our first shop, I decided to look on further before hastily buying it. The shop auntie totally challenged us that if we can find sarees that are cheaper than 15 dollars each, she would give a sari to us for free. LOL.

Then we went a few shops down, and bought the sarees at 10 bucks each! Had wanted to go back to GL the auntie lol, but of course we didn't. Haha. Bought the guys' costumes as well, then looked for bangles which the shop assistant very kindly helped us to match with the colour of our sarees.

Then we all left for JE and had lunch before meeting the class at IMM Giant. Basically just picked through the stuffs we needed, distributed who to bring what back and went home.

Yesterday, Monday, was the big day. Was supposed to wake up at like 3.45am to cook the 60 pratas that I am in charge of. But then, I actually had the guts to turn my alarm off when it rang -.- I next woke up at 5.20am, my father called me up. And I was so stunned that I overslept so long and still have the pratas to cook! Then I rushed into the kitchen, and to my pleasant surprise, 60 pratas are nicely cooked and placed on the plates to cool. All I have to do is pack them into the aluminuim tray :D Yaye my father rocks (:

Then my father drove me to school, picking up Vincent and Chentao on the way. Sharman would be late, but we could have waited because we totally reached school at like 6.10am? Freaking early please. Then waited for people to come, set up and all that. So more people reached, and we started to set up the decorations and stuffs around the table. Stayed behind with Sylvia, Sharman, Acer and Sweecheng during morning assembly to continue work.

It was quite fun actually, rushing around and Mr Tan was there trying to disturb us and saying that he is our first customer, lol. And I accidentally pushed over a canteen bench onto his foot. Omg, super sorry la =x Changed into class tee, but aborted initial ideas of wearing a sari because it really hinders us when we are cooking the pratas.

Chiouyih came halfway, and helped us with the set up. Soon, the people came and hell, our queue seriously never ended! So many people cutting queue ._. The people at the stall all the time was Sharman, Chiouyih, Sylvia, me and Sweecheng. We never stopped working because the orders never stopped coming. Shouted alot for the people to collect their orders until I was almost hoarse at the end of it.

Many girls also helped with the facilitating of the coupons and monetary matters. Our advertisng committee did a great job too. Especially with the ~~Sexyback~~ Prataback thing. It was hilarious, my god. But didn't really get to see them perform much since we were so busy with the orders.

At the end of it, when we were cleaning up, or at least trying to, still got people come and ask if we still selling the pratas, LOL. Then some uncle totally came and exploited our oven without our permission la, so irritating please. ._. Then had to go to LT1 for some weird lecture which I was so tired, much as I try, I cannot keep awake for long. Ohwell..

Anyhow, thanks alot to the people who contributed largely to this RH day plans. Especially the committee leaders Kunhong, Mingjie, Candy, Lau, Jianlong. And even more especially all the people who stayed up late to chiong stuffs, Sylvia, Sharman, Chiouyih. And thanks Sweecheng for the motivating text a night before we were supposed to wake up early to cook the pratas (:

RH Day 2008 ended with success, never mind our profits. Never mind anyth else. This was really a good experience, at least for me. To knw how important planning is and things like that. Thanks to each and everyone in 4H who have helped in your own ways, because it would never be possible if I were to shoulder it all lone. Thanks for letting me knw that I am not alone on this.

And yet another good memory for 4H to keep (:

Okay, I am going to sleep now. Shall blog about the E&C week events sometime when I'm free again. G'night all.
