October 26th, 2013

I landed myself as the organizer for 2013's Prefectorial Body's yearly banquet.
--
I woke up by 7 am because obviously, the adrenaline rush was there. Then I had to answer some calls asking me the check-ups for the banquet that was due to begin by 12.15pm. Then I organised some papers, money and stuff to be brought to BGR (Bangi Golf Resort) to finalize and get ready for everything.
I ate two nasi lemak before going because I knew it in my heart that as an organizer, I wouldn't get the chance to eat later even if I paid the same amount as everyone else, perhaps even more. On the way there, I got very nervous about the banquet, especially since Teacher Nik wasn't going to be there.
-
I arrived at BGR by 10.40 am, and the hall had already been liven by the performance crew and teams, the emcees, photographers, and basically, the form 4 AJKs of the banquet that I chose a few months back.
Needless to say, as the organizer, I had to do everything and practically flew everywhere just to meet people and finalize things so that everything would run smoothly.

Luckily, Gokull was there to help me all the while and he understood what had to be done despite me not having the time to explain everything to him. 
I explained the giving gift protocol to the AJK in charge of presents, and Gokull helped with the timing for the 4 performances, and together we really did the whole lot. However, we were no supermen. Of course we had helps from all the lovely and supporting form 4 AJKs. Without even one of them, I don't think we would've succeeded yesterday.

So then the PK HEM arrived. And finally it was time to get the show on the road. We had to start with the drama performance first because Zaim wasn't there yet. The form 5 peeps had this bengkel before the banquet, so we already expected them to come late. Then the AJK penyambut tetamu arranged the form 5s into a two-by-two line and when zaim arrived, he was placed at the front row. So once the performance ended, the emcees made announcements about the small parade of the form 5 prefects into the hall. Once that was done, I knew everything was going to fall into place. Then the PK HEM made his opening speech and voila~ Let's get the show started!

We had ikram reading his super awesome poetry, and showed off his skills of holding the microphone without hesitating. Then Madhu, Sulayman and two others played the guitar and sang Little Things, and we also had this exciting bicara berirama performance by the Form 1 humans. All of them seriously enlightened the whole banquet! :D (of course, every show got its turn for spotlights)
--
Gokull and I also ordered an ala carte from BGR because Kishan was a vegetarian. He at first said it was okay, but of course Gokull and I insisted and we bought a vegetarian fried rice with mixed vegetable dish especially for him. Better feel special, dude.
(At the end, he was satisfied with our ''service'', so I take it we did good??? :p)

1. I would like to dedicate lots of appreciation to all the prefects who participated into making this banquet one of the best banquets in my life (I'm not exaggerating), especially the Form 4 prefects. Don't ever underestimate what you did, because without even any one of you, this whole thing wouldn't have reached anywhere near this ''grand'' stage. So don't thank me, thank yourselves. You guys are amazing. ((I can't wait to work with all of you next year))

2. To those who came, your presence really did make this banquet a whole lot merrier than what I had been expecting all along. Thanks to all my mates, juniors, seniors, teachers and those who are just as important, the BGR crews; Mr Apai and Miss Chua for lending me hands throughout the whole thing.

  3. Thanks to my teacher, Puan Nik Nur Ruhayu for supporting me since the beginning. This is not the end, I know I still have lots to endure later, and I also know now that I can always count on you. You shaped me into what I was at the banquet. I knew you were always rooting for me even if you yourself were not present at the banquet. Thanks for trusting that I can do it, teacher. You trusted me even when I didn't trust in myself. Thanks again.

Shortly after the banquet ended, I called Teacher and she said she received numerous positive and encouraging reviews from the people who came. I myself as a student, received a few 'congratulations', alhamdulillah.
