Preparation for The 18th Annual Concert

This year is my last year to get involve in the wanderers concert. It is a song composing association. In dis concert, there are many departments such as publicity, song composing, emcee, sponsors, dance and etc. I'm the leader for the make up and image department. A leader? What m i suppose to do? At 1st, i feel a bit regret to take dis post as i'm not very gud in leading ppl. Luckily i have a few members who work with me. We are suppose to design costumes for all the performers for each songs. There will be 18 songs, it's quite hard to think for all. Every sat we will hav a small rehearsal where we perform songs, dance and present the costumes that we have chosen for the performers to the senior. The seniors will then comment on it so that we can improve b4 we perform for the real concert.

The work that i recently do was to call the shops who are potential to be our sponsor for costumes and accessories. I need to take a lot of courage to call and talk to the person incharge about our concert as my communication skills is lousy. =/

Today we went to one of our sponsor to snap some pics which is France Taipei. When i 1st step into the shop, i feel very excited becoz i noe that i get to see lots of wedding gowns (seems like a bit desperate to get married, LOL). Nono, juz feel excited to see all the beautiful gowns. We were then be seated near to a semicircle stage that we alwiz seen on drama or movie. The place were there are fitting rooms with large mirrors. The employees were very nice,they treat us as their customers, trying very hard to search for the types of costumes we wanted to borrow. Glad to have them as one of our sponsor.

A few costumes that we had choosen to match the songs.

After a tiring day, we went bck to our meeting place,a place where we practise songs and etc.1st thing i will do is go to my letter box to see whther there are any messages. It's a fun game where we can drop messages that we wanted to tell the one that we care by letting them noe who we are with our own name written at the end of the message or without letting them noe by using nickname, isn't it interesting? We did dis every year during the whole preparation for the concert until the concert ends as we need someone to care coz sumtimes we might feel stress with our work.=)


Temple : the main one for us to put the messages.

Japanese Fair

12 days of working, very tired but work hard for the sake of getting more $.


Stall of "Rice Cracker"
My duty was to promote the "rice cracker", holding 1 box of sample, walking around the "rice cracker" corner and promoting the same thing for 12 days. Same dialogue but with different customers.

My common dialogue for 12 days:
A : Hie, miss/sir/uncle/aunty these are rice crackers, wana try??
B : Hmm, this is very salty/sweet, I dun like, thanks.

A : Oh, u may try the others which are not dat salty/sweet, very tasty!

B : Eh, not bad, how much is this? / It's ok, i'll juz walk around and hav a look on others.

A : Thanks, bla bla bla and so on!

Feel like I'm a Robot, automatically talk the same thing to each customer who passes by my stall
.

There are pro's and con's where the counter placed nearby my stall.
Pro : When people queue up, they grab some of the "rice crakers" which looks delicious
(without me promoting >>>> Yeah)
Con : There are many of them who kacau my products when they queue up
(i need to rearrange then T_T)
See the black "cage"
Everynite ard 9.45pm, feel relief when I see "them (the cage)". This shows that we can tutup kedai ! Can balik kampung and REST!!!! Balik Kampung, oh oh balik kampung.......LOL
