Behind The Scene

**Caution: This is long......

On behalf of Exco 2007-2009 and 3S dinner commitee, I wish to thank all kakak2 dan adik2 from all 50th year era. Your presence really boost up our spirit. Hilang semua rasa penat lelah doing the preparation. As usual, byk benda yg kena buat last minute. hehehe...But seeing you ladies clapping, singing, ehmmm.....some even dancing on stage with Abg M.Nasir kita, I'm simply overwhelmed. Worth the time spend.
Wanna hv an insight of wat actually happened to me less than 24 hrs before the 3S Dinner? Hmm..lets's see where do I begin....
Wed 8/08 0800 hours - Previous nite tido at 4am, Mdm treasurer Anis dah calling2. "K Sue, mcm mana ni? Meja juniors ada 1 lagi kosong...loose seats a few...meja a, b,c. d.....tak penuh lagi. Apa nk buat? Camana ni? I kena pi bank, bank in cek. Then antar tiket ke Bangi, then pi KL..... (my reply? we still got time, insyaalah...take it easy)
Bro Azlan @ dinner chairman fr Star - Table Stf camana? You all ada byk kosong lagi ke? Anis camna? Numbering table u all in sequence ke? Sdar berterabur sikit.
Finalised VVIP list dah dapat dari ofis Dt Awg Adek? (my reply?...no worries, insyaallah, under control...Ye ke?)
Kak Mariamah @ Mdm President - "Sue, my son......?!!!!!? Oh no!! her son is going for operation due to apendik! (family first sis, don wori about us. Gosh...kesian betul..)
1500 hours - Alamak! baju tak ada lagi..nak pakai apa? "Hello? hello? help...bole sponsor baju ke?"
Dtk Houd @ protocol Star 1600 hours - Sue, corsage utk commitee members jgn lupa beli. Protocol people from JPM ada call you? What time will you be in PICC? They'll come over to assist / check on sitting arrangement. Bla..bla..bla...
1600 hours - Oopps...must call the students chaperons to remind them on a,b,c,d......
Pn Halimah Pgtua Stf - Wat time the gals leaving? Remind them to bring along their black court shoes....
Cikgu Zul/Cikgu Al Azmi Star - Have u left Ipoh witht he boys? Wat time would you arvd SAS, Putrajaya? Remind boys on the black shoes
En Ramli Sdar - Leaving tomorrow? Wat time ETA at PICC?
1600-1700 hours - Ryzah "K Sue, bunga utk Datin Rosmah nk mix colours?"
- Pn Lya (org kuat PIBG Stf) - The gals pakai tudung? Costume people tau? Camna nk cucuk sanggul? Kasut color apa? I nk beli for my daughter...since kite org Melake, better she pakai baju negeri Melake....hehehe....seorang ibu yg sangat prihatin kan?
1800 - 2000 hours - Anis "K Sue, company a,b,c yg ada iklan dlm buku dah bagi cek to Staroba account ke? Table ni camna K Sue, ada kosong lagi ni..Batch adik Pak Lah ni dtg, org2 senior ni K Sue, kena bagi table depan sikit. Susah they all nk tgk.. bla..bla..bla.. (how is it possible to gather the crowd last nite, if our Mdm Treasurer tak jemu2 pujuk you all dtg. Thank you for the hard work dear)
2000-2300 hrs - Bro Azlan @ dinner c/man "Sue, I dah email VVIP lists. You tolong cordinate with Dtk Houd @ protocol. I pening ni, Datin Rosmah insist Syed Sobri n wife Azie mengiringi dia masa dia nyanyi nanti. Adoiii....("Aiyo! bro Lan, nak kena tambah $$$ ke?)
Reen @ my daughter - "Ma, bunga (corsage) ni, semua nak letak safety pin ke? Eee...yg pink ni cutelah! Star, Sdar pakai colour maroon ke? Stf hijau? Can I take some for my pendidikan seni? Yada..yada...yada...byk tanya pulak anakanda i ni...
Anis - "Kak Sue, payment table...cheque...meja kosong....loose seats...tak sempat beli tudung lip lap...table arrangement...esok sempat lagi ke?"....(pi tido, dah lewat ni, esok masih ada.....hehehe)
Myself - Hmm...kena make a few reminder calls, sms "Leelany, wat time u reach kl? Script ok?" "Adib, Rose Anida, jgn lupa assist K Sue with the 52 students Stf, Star, Sdar"
"Cikgu Suhana, Haliza Stf...safe journey with students cos bertolak pagi2 buta". Check list, check list, check list...remind MIL to fetch kids fr school, hp charger, notebook charger, clothes, shoe, towel, toiletries, bla...bla...bla....bla
===================================================================
Thursday 9 Aug
5 - 6 am - Shower, prepare breakfast, kejut kids
7 am - Sent kids to school, pi office to print stuffs. Sempat reply to client emails.
8 am - Drove to PICC. 13 students Star dah tunggu. "Dah bkfast? Where's your teacher?" Star boy's A "Sis, teacher we all will be late. We all ngan Pak Mat, bus driver" blablabla..."Ok, jom pi bkfast. Tolong Sis bawa brg2 ni. You all ni form brape? Form2? Form 4? La....same age ngan anak saya lah" Star boy's B, C, D "we all bole panggil mummy tak? Hmm....jangan jadi "Mamma San" tak pe! hehehehe kelakar, 13 of them trotting along with Pak Mat besides me. Suddenly my two 3S dinner "bosses" (Dtk Awg Adek & Dtk Hilmi) muncul out of nowhere! "Sue, I nak tengok hall. VVIP seating arrangement camna?" "Holding room mana? Restroom Vip mana? "Table occupancy camna? Penuh ke?" "Pukul 9am ke rehearsal?" "Sound system, lightings camna?"

(??? Wah bombarded with questions. Calling calling commitee members. Where r u guys?) "Aa...Dtk, the others will arrive shortly but your Starians boys are here. Why don't you join them for breakfast? (hehehehe...trying to buy time till all the commitee members dtg!! Alhamdulillah.....both of them pun comfortablly seated and chit chat. Hmmm....yummy ...ada lontong with kuah kacanglah for breakfast.... Being a heavy breakfast eater, berketul-ketullah nasi himpit yg I ambik. Alamak, bila jeling kat pinggan depa....la...makan ondeh2 & kuih lapis je?! Segan silulah I nak makan you. Nampak sangat mcm pelahap plak! issh....
Finally, dinner commitee came in one after another. Safe by the bell.....let them do the answering so that I can enjoy my lontong.
9 -10am - "En Razak @ Sdar, where's your boys? Dah sampai? Hah? bas depa rosak? Ganti bas kilang? OK..OK...tak pa....take your time."
- "Cik Suhana, Cik Hadiza @ Stf...gals kita dah sampai? Hujan lebat? Baru lepas Pagoh? Ok...ok...jangan suruh Pakcik bawak laju2! Don wori...kita tunggu..."
9 - 12noon.
a.Exhibition team Ryzah, Kak Ina, Kak Baya busy pungah memungah brg. Start gantung menggantung. Since sebelah menyebelah booth Star, depa pun tolong menolong each other. Pinjam meminjam tools. hehehe...setiakawan abis lah! Steady Ryzah, Stf BOLEH! Tiba2 Ryzah tanya "K Sue, ada....#%*^&*#%??" "Alamak sis! dah basah kuyup ke? Call any of our gals yg on the way, singgah kedai beli @$%^&*#. (sori sis if this is a bit personal, but your display of determination...I'm speechless & burst with pride to be associated with such a dedicated Srikandi! Good job sis!)
c. Projector - Kak Kimah, came all the way to PICC to pinjam her projector to Ryzah. Thank you very, very much sis. Really wish you could attend the dinner though....






b. Kak Che Na - "Mana nak pinjam trolley Sue?" "Bro Star, pinjam trolley boleh?" hehehe
c. Hall - With Eden people. "Add another 2 chairs on main table. Flowers? Name cards? Kena type sendirikah? Bla..bla....
d. Rehearsal begins. - Sound system, lightings, students lining up all the way from holding room on 1st floor till hall which is on the ground floor! Jauh tu.....jenuh gak up down, up down, nasib baik dapat lontong tadi. Bole sprint sikit, otherwise pitam den kalau makan si ondeh2 je. hehehehe
12:30 noon
a. Some goes for lunch. Bro Azlan @ dinner c/man fr Star tambah pening, seated at one corner. Just realized table arrangement in hall tak sama dlm print out. Ooppssss.....dah nak kena re-numbered balik....nasib baik discover earlier, if not, memang kelam kabut giler!
b. More support team came. Thank you, thank you, Molly, Laila, Dilla, Rose Anida, sapa lagi ya? Maaf if I miss out anyone. Adib & her bodyguard? She's among the 1st to arrive! Thanks sis...susah2 aje....
c. JPM protocol officers came to assist - Table seating? OK. Spelling of VVIP names with their title? OK. Suddenly when one of the officer flip the table skirtings at Rosmah seat...jeng..jeng..jeng...ngam2 kaki meja kat situ! How is she going to sit comfortably with the table legs in between?! Opps....not done purposely okay..(wink, wink) So, they have to rearrange the whole table set ups! Aiyo........
d. Oh yes! Kak Wa pun ada. Dia drop by straight from Johor. Thank you dear...you always have a "calming" effect on us all! hehehe.....
2 - 3pm - After solat Zohor, costume people dah buzy matching the costumes to suit the students. Oo....problem...how to do cucuk sanggul? Our gals bertudungkan? Some of the baju kebangsaan like Kadazan, Iban, sleeveless...Last2 have to call Pn Pgtua to seek opinion. The mak andam siap buat demo lagi on one of the gals. Hair still covered with black tudung and some areas covered with flowers & headgears. When the teachers, students, rep PIBG (Kak Ina) hehehe...puas hati, baru depa start preparing the gals. Kesian Anis kena lari ke Alamanda Mall to buy long sleeves inner baju for the short sleeves ones!


4 - 6pm - Most people dah balik berkemas. Alamak, I sangkut lagi with Eden people pasal table tu...Aiyo, tukar baju kat toiletlah jawabnya......Went to check on the students. Alamak the gals tak siap2 lagi2? Bila nak make up the 26 boys ni? Usher them to eat first. Check list, check list, do I miss anything?? Alamak....dah almost 6:20pm, i comot & busuk lagi! Run!!!!!!!
The rest is history lah kan......Gosh, I got carried away. Should spare you ladies the boredom going through details on the last hour of preparation kan? Sorry ye for being so long winded...wink! wink!
Last but not least, thank you once more to all Srikandis yg mengerah tenaga tanpa berkira, yang sanggup dtg jauh2, yang datang straight from office pun ramai....Setiap majlis yg besar macam ni sedikit sebanyak ada cacat celanya. Minta maaf banyak2 atas segala kekurangan. Insyaallah, akan dibaiki in future. Thank you again sisters for all your support!
Salam sayang,

ASM,

Yesterday was a great night. My 2 guests are so very happy thanks to K. Mariamah & Anis. They enjoyed the event. I even started the joy dance with M. Nasir on stage. I suppose the medicine that Dilla gave me made me go high! (I was having a flu and coughing none stop). We even get to go back stage since both of them knows M. Nasir relatively well. We had a chat and I had to give my door gift to M. Nasir since he doesn't have one. He was elated.

I even got to shake hands with DPM and wife on the way coming in from the restroom. And there M.Nasir starting the show!

This morning one of my guest sms me stating that our picture was in TV3 7am news. So watch out the upcoming news ok. And not to mention coming to the office this morning, the basement parking at Menara TM is practically empty even when it is already 8.05 am. I suppose there's a lot of STAROBA and SDARIAN in these building. Ha Ha Ha. Thanks to all for the work put in in the dinner.
