Thanx to mushrm's classmates also, cos u all miss lab to help us out =) N also thanx Andies, Clara n Sam for helping out @ the volunteers' booth..sry for asking u all down then distribute singlets only =p Paiseh..Also not 4gting all volunteers who turn up!! Thanx for nt putting us aeroplane when it's such a bad weather =) Nice 1!
Happy to say luckily the run was quite smooth..though i think i was quite dependent on kama (our club's president) n Mr Wilfred to tell me how n what to do these 2 mths..n i seriously dunno hw to brief my volunteers..still need Mr Wilfred to entertain them for mee to store for time..guess i gt stage fright..dunno y i can talk comfortably with a small bunch of ppl but when it's a large grp..(nt tht large actually on the briefing day..only 30 plus..) then i kan chiong liao..cos it's very awkward to talk when every1 is sitting there looking at u..then all silence..i scared i say wrg things hw? Plus i misinterpret Mr Wilfred's intention of booking the briefing rm for 2hrs...Then i thot the briefing will take 2hrs..then at the end, kama told me NO BRIEFING WILL TAKE 2HRS!!! We use 1/2 hr to set up things then brief for 1hr the most then 1/2 hr to pack up..Plus i also didn't thot of the fact tht i need a projector to project the power point slides..so i didn't loan fr SAO office b4 hand..die..Tht's y i put ADC Junior at the end of all my emails to my volunteers also cos I'm really a junior!!! Dunno this n tht..but luckily gt a lot of ppl help + teach me..thanx to u guys too =)
Then on the actual day..i was praying hard for the rain nt to drop..saw the black black sky..then BL n Pat keep saying later will rain 1..haiz..n it came true..n it rained juz when we were abt to dispatch the volunteers out..haiz..bad timing..n actually i dun dare to ask the volunteers to tie the caution banner cos i scared they tie wrg or dunno hw to tie or where to tie..actually wanted to tie them myself when we are on the way to put the cones..but cos raining so the dispatch of volunteers was delayed n the run was only delayed abit..when we were about to go ard in Mr Ishak's buggy then we realise there's no time to put up cones n banners alr..Moral of the story: Trust ur volunteers. I think i juz didn't have enuff confidence in my volunteers cos i dunno them well. But I think Mr Wilfred's right, u can't do everything urself cos then u will nvr finish doing. Mushrm's idea better. Nxt time should have put up the banners the night before..like wad we did for climb run..kk, lesson learnt..
The run started after the rain had ceased..the floor was quite slippery n a few ppl fell esp on the white zebra crossing area at blk Q there..credits to fiona n gang for noticing the area so that we can put cones there to prevent more casualties..had always want to sit in the buggy cos have always thot it's fun..but i guess i juz wasn't in the mood to enjoy the ride cos i hafta kp looking out whether the volunteers were in their right place n where to put the cones n distribute the yellow coats n light sticks to the correct marshalls at critical points..so very scared things will go wrg..cannt go wrg..cos this is my 1st event..(climb run nt counted cos gt qy to guide me along so nt so scary)yup..after everythings in place then can see the runners run..MS GAN GT 1st FOR FEMALES!!!!! Omg..n Xiao Jing's in the 1st few places!!! Fd science ppl also can run de k!!! =p Haha..Mr Tay SK also gt run..n the TSO (4gt his name le) also gt run..see..fd science also gt sportsman n wonderwoman!! Then the percussion team went onto the track to perform..omg..they r cool sia..James also kp saying funny funny things to spice up the event..i guess everything went well for everi1 except for mushrm's side ba..they all look so super stress in the Napfa room juz tht we didn't see..
Then the day ended with all the logistics moved to their respective places by the volunteers, x3L n Ms Gan..then dinner tgt..debrief then home..tired but relieved..happy also..to noe tht there r frens for u when u need them =)
