So we now have 3 more people in the team:
Bernard as the protocol guy.
Ka-Mun as vice-secreteray.
Natasha as vice-treasurer.
Bernard has organized formal dinner functions before and is very much experienced and familar with all the formalities and such. He will be looking for a sub-team to help him with the frontline stuff.
Ka-Mun is the secretary of CMSA and Nat is the treasurer. One of the reasons why we are putting them as the vice is that they would be able to assist the secretary and treasurer of Malam - nak 'train' member dan raise leader kan :p
So welcome onboard! Look out for their posts! :)
On another note, my flatmates were giving me some ideas on Malam today.
What really stood out to me in the discussion was:
Think big, as if you have no restraints on the budget. Let the creative juices flow during the brainstorming.
Then when it's time to be realistic, when the limits of the budget kicks in, scale down.
i liked that. i don't want to think within a box. it feels good to have the box of budget lifted away, though temporary, but at least, it allows more room for the creative juice to flow.
we then also discussed on the ways to integrate the theme into Malam. The problem of audience participation came in - even if an idea is good, if there's no participation...well, maybe it wasn't that good an idea after all..
my friend concluded: looks like it's a hard task ahead!
i smiled: i know. but since i'm in it, i will take it like a man.. :p
4 main principles that i will stand firm on:
- Can't please everyone - no matter how good something is, there's bound to be criticism. i'm prepared for that.
- Trust - trust that the team will do their respective tasks well; and not taking everything into my own hands - not a one man show kan? :p
- Decisive - firm and with wisdom.
- Let go - when things don't turn out the way i want it or we want it, we'll let go and think of a better alternative.
Enjoy the whole process! :)
Will be meeting up with the LMSS rep sometime this week! Stay tuned for that! :)

Good luck gloria. seems like you have an able team there. I would suggest to spread out the committee, and avoid taking in members from one section of demographic [if you know what i mean].
:) I ll be looking forward to the malam.
kam
yes kam. you are right. thanks for the reminder. just realised my social circle is pretty narrow, and not many people are responding to us. it's pretty hard. will continue to work on it.
:) cheers.
