Yesterday, my uni held the very first geology symposium. Im not sure what it is about, but I can assumed that it is like a business conference and engineering conference. I don't involved with the symposium. We just performed for their dinner. I just skipped to dinner part.

Not bad for first timer but one thing for sure, they should arrange it more properly such as if they favour people to perform, inform at least in 2 weeks time because it ain't easy to recruit people, teach the steps and clean up the routine. Secondly, they should make sure that the guests and performers come earlier than the VIP because its a big no to the event if the VIP come first than the guests. Thirdly, they should inform the performers about their time slot. They can fix the matter for their next symposium next year.

About our performances, we performed two types of dances last night. Traditional opening dance and hip-hop modern dance. Before our modern dance performance last night, we actually had an issue. One of our dancer back out at the very last minute due to unexpected things happened to her. I did saw her when I was on the way to fetch Asfan. Her car looks fine (why I type this is because I thought she is having an accident or something) but the face does not look so fine. It made me wonder what is she doing at my neighbourhood that evening. I thought she's going back to Brunei. Must be something happening around that area. Oh well, just hope she is fine. After we received her news about the last minute back out, we are all panic. We are all in dilemma to perform or back out as well. If we back out, we will lose our credibility and will turned down the Symposium committee too. The OC already like begging us not to cancel. We don't want people to lose their trust on us. Glad I had this brilliant idea at the very last minute. Me and Aaron just perform to Superstitious routine (1:10) and later on continue with Asfan's isolation routine solo (0:35) which make it like 1 minute and 45 seconds of performance. The symposium committee told Asfan it was great but too short. Well, we has some issue and its their fault not to inform us early. the shorter the preparation, the shorter it is. Anyway, It turned out great! Everyone of us satisfy with our performance last night. Will post up the videos later. Its with my friend now. Hehe!

About the traditional dance performance, it was great as well it just that we forgot some of the steps due to very short time for preparation. If we prepare earlier, it would be great. Im not sure if I did smile that time but I guess a little bit of smile. Hehe! Oh well, im trying to memorise the steps which I only learnt it for roughly 3 days? Commercial break!

"Any clubs or organisations who favour Art and Dance Club to perform for their event, please inform us 10 days in advance as we need ample of time to recruit people to perform and rehearse. Please provide us further details of the event such as the guests of the event (ex: is there any VIP coming), the size and the surface of the place we going to perform (ex: the size of the stage/ platform, the surface is it concrete or carpet), the venue, time of the event, when we can rehearse at the place and our time slot. We can't accept any last minute invitation. Sorry if we turned down your offer."

Now, back to the event. After our performances, we had free dinner! Yey! We really do feel appreciated. Although they do not pay us by cash but they pay us by giving us free dinner. Hehe! I do not mind if we do not get paid because we are not yet a certified professional dancers. Dancing is our passion and its kind of a voluntary job for us as we give them free entertainment. Cool! huhu! Anyway, here is the dishes of the night. I just managed to capture the main dishes. I forgot to snap the appetizer and dessert. HaHa!



Yummy! This is the main course of the night. Roasted chicken, Lamb grill, steamed fish and mushroom broccoli served with steamed rice.


Oh yea, while we are enjoying our meal, there is a karaoke session open for everyone. This one girl singing is killing my jaws while im eating and she sang twice. Pfffttt. But look at the bright side, she know her singing aren't that good as her friend but she has the confident although how bad she sing. Hehe! Thumbs up to her. :) Our VIP for the night sing as well. He sang this 'more word that i can say' if im not mistaken (i cant recall) and love me tender by elvis. Very nice one. =) geology lecturer also singing that night and the geology club president sang as well as we all request him to sing since it is his birthday that night. Birthday + Symposium dinner at Dynasty Hotel = its like his birthday party dinner as well. Cool! Very lucky. My birthday always on final exam week. Sigh.

I think pretty much thats it for the dinner. We all having fun last night. Will post up more photo regarding to this event later on because I do not have much photos of it. Well, Adios! =)
