Tampines East CC YEC Christmas Carnival 2006

It was a relief for me when the carnival finally ended. It was a tough time going through all the harsh plannings, but we all made it through and i felt that it was a success, though not many people came. Maybe it was because of the rain. But in any case, i learnt a lot through out this whole planning. That's one of the achievements i got from this carnival.

Reached the CC office in the morning at around 8.45am. Met Cheryl and Hui Hui on the way up. They were there very early because they need not really need to be there so early. Anyway, i just went up to the office located at the 3rd floor.

An office staff was with me when we came up. She helped to open the office door. Just after that, she found something amiss with the security system as the alarm did not sound when she opened the door. She thought someone else had gone in, but there was no one in the office. She then went to the first floor where the main security control was located to check it out. I did not follow and went into the office to the same chair facing the same computer screen, which was a process that i had been repeating for the past one week. Damn, i was quite sick of facing the computer as a matter of fact.

Once down on the chair, my hand started to type on the keyboard. Looking at the namelist on my manpower list, i typed in the names of those attending and helping out in the carnival onto a certificate designed by me and edited by Jinguang (Vice Chairperson of the carnival) and Dr. Ken (Chairman of Tampines East CC Youth Executive Committee). A lot of changes had been made to my original design before a satisfactory one is being born. That was quite some work done. Anyway, thanks to the help provided by Desmond, Esther, Jin Kai, Yi Kai and some other people who helped me along the way. I can't really remember who helped me along the way, because i was quite busy until i don't remember who helped me.

Anyway, i went down to help Haunted House because i felt that Haunted House should be at my highest priority at that moment because they were only allowed to set up their scenes on the day itself. The moment i stepped into the Haunted House, i felt like i was in a studio with the studio crews moving and setting up the scene. Everyone was given a part to do and they were giving in their best to get things done the best possible. Then, Desmond joined in. We began to discuss about the layout of the Haunted House. Then we discovered that the space near the entrance was brightly lit and the light could not be switched off due to some reasons. It can only be switched off by a technician. Anyway, the both of us thought of an idea and used a very long black cloth and made an entrance just after the light, blocking as much light as possible. It worked and the both of us felt a sense of achievement, and the Haunted House crew were also very glad.

It was then the Singapore Poly Leo Club volunteers contacted me about their arrival. I went down to Lobby and started to assign them to go to their respective allocations. Then, i brought those who were assigned securities into the Control and started my briefing. Just when my briefing ended, the first aid team arrived, led by Weiling, SP Leo president. i then started the first aiders' briefing. Just before that, i asked Michael, Security IC, to bring the guys around. Just when my briefing ends, they returned. Then i took the first aid team around.
