Firstly, there was Yikai and me. We actually forgot the names of 2 mentors during the mentor award ceremony. We had to call the mentors behind them 1st b4 Yikai finally remembered their names. I would like to apologise to those two mentors, Limin and Yulu (hope i got their names right this time :p)
Apart from the emcees, there was also Stephen who actually forgot the name of our BMSS coordinator, Xiaoli. Best part, he actually announced it on stage! Haha... We actually tried to tell him the name from backstage but luckily some1 came to the rescue (cant remem who, maybe Stephen can add in the missing info :p).
Then of course, there was the band! Many ppl complained that the band was not suitable for the kids. Too bad Stephen didnt sample their music b4 bringing them in. Also heard that the band members themselves were shocked to find out that they were singing to kids when the curtains opened. Haha... Plus the poor GMPS kids had their ears covered because they didnt like the band. They kept saying "no" to the next performance. *haiz*
During the cake celebration, there was Weiming who was suppose to take photo of the cake cutting (dunno why the BP photographer disappeared after the reception) but was too shy to stand in front to take the photo. Half the time was spent on calling for him to take the photo. Stephen mentioned that the curtains actually opened with Weiming's back facing the audience :p
All in all, apart from the bloopers (which the audience did not notice thankfully), the whole anniversary celebrations went well. All the hard work put in has actually paid off *sigh* By the way, I really looove the banner that we did. It looks so nice hanging up there.
Lastly, I would like to thank Tengfu, Nick, Weiming, Liang Qiao, Ai Kai, Stephen for their efforts put into making this event a success. I would like to give a special thanks to Guangyu who really amazed me with the Amazing race later that day. It was the first time the committee members, esp Stephen, didnt have to do last min stuff to get things going. Guangyu was really super efficient! For the kids, the Amazing race was the highlight of the day. So thanks for making it fun 4 them :)
Time to get back to work. I must do some justice for being paid $8 an hour. Hehehe...<: Naseera :>
