It's About Fun

Now the Awlympic is over suddenly all the committee is having alot of blues. It's been a very memorable journey for me and the team. Building the Awlympic from nothing to something.

The 1st ever meeting that was on a rainy saturday morning at centre point bandar utama McD. I felt so stranger there as i don't really know them. All the face i've seen before but did not make contact with them. There was Matt, Melissa, Hooi Min, Quek, Sharon, Andrew, Jonathan (i think got), Dianne, Jun Hiong, Leonard, Ching Ching, Chun Beng, Buffy & YJ. Being assigned buddy pairs to work effectively in the end also tak berapa jadi.

Second Meeting there was Lili, Choon Moy & Michael to our edition of the committee. Talk about games and stuffs. Over the time our relationship became closer and bonder due to kena fuck up down left right front and back from chairman and of course non other than taking on each other and also not forgetting supporting each and everyone.

It's not easy to create an Awlympic in a month time but somehow with Matt's leadership we pulled it through. Came to the Balloting day, all of us were so nervous as we have nothing to count on only ourselves as Awlympic is the 1st ever edition that it is created. Response of attendance on the Balloting day was so so but the result was fantastic as the way we want it to be drama happened!! Fun & exciting.

The 1st few games was introduced till the launching of the game in 2 weeks time (roughly around there la). So prior to the launching of Awlympic, again we were nervous like shit. Almost tershit keluar lo. Gementar. Preparations, setting ups and of course the chairman is ever so controlling and kan jiong on what to expect. Bang!! it was a blast on the opening a.k.a launching. Performances and everything. The bar was set so ever damn high till we can't even think of how to do the Finale. God help us!!!...

During the process after the launching, there was of course alot of complaints, grungies, unfairness and the list goes on and on and on.. Everyone had breakdowns prior to their own in-charged events. Due to what? Late submissons, alterations of participants, complaints, securing of venue and so on. Due to the breakdown, the team still goes through the challenges lies ahead of them. From here, our relationship with each other started to bonded. Knowing each other, teasing each other and using the lung to speak.

Every week, the committee were looking forward to the meeting as there's always laughter, fun, & being fucked & laughed at ourselves.

The Vision of Awlympic is all about FUN, LOVE & UNITY if i'm not wrong.

It's a challenge when we are going for competitive and fighting for points as human nature tend to play red black game. Only IF ever each and every single one of us in the heart is pure then we will achieve that. Being said that, I'm sure everyone had the fun, love and united when the Awlympic was going on.

It's not easy to be a committe in Awlympic. We see friends that are close ended up fighting for not doing their part, couples fighting for not in same house, couples fighting for not tagging along to the event, and the dramas berlambak-lambak datang. It's just part and parcel of life. If there's no drama in life, there's no growth in life.

So i think 3 weeks before the Finale, the ghost in committe which is Jun wanted to do something for the finale and of course show something extra for our chairman. As normal she was afraid that most of the committee might not aligned to what she wanted to do so she goes to those that is willing to go extra mile and poison them first. I think her body was so gatal that time that's why she wanna dance.

She proposed that we do a performance during the finale as a surprise for Matt. And so we agreed as per proposed. Ching Ching was the choreographer. We are the konco-konco that is so bloody kayu. As stiff as a Balak. When Ching Ching showed me some moves, my reaction was just staring at her blankly. You know la, i kayu don't know how to dance. So we brainstormed on what song that we want to use and we chose Flashdance- What A Feeling. Then another challenge came. We have no idea on how the whole dance would be. Lagi lagi later and idea popped out that we do a sketch on how the Awlympic started and goes on and then dance.

Brilliant idea i would say! Got props some more!! Matt Voo punya muka also was inside. Topeng only la. So we went to lili's place and did some practice. We belajar for about 6 days. First 2 days was completely like sampah as we were doing funny stuff and adjustments. Some the other few days we learned and dance. Not even a single words of the surprise performance can be leaked out to outsiders and also made known to Matt. Even my girlfriend also did not know it. I tell you it was so hard to keep things from my girlfriend as she is so good at korek shit and we share our lives openly. So basically there is nothing we hide from each other. During the 2 week it was HELL for me!! I wanted to tell her and i can't. She kept asking me got so much of thing to work on the Finale meh? I said yes.

So came to the eve of Finale we went for setting up and woke up bloody early to go to the crime scene and practice but ended up training in office just because of raining. Then later we went to the scene and did the setting up till late. Whole day was there and office and we were of course burned. In the night also it was raining and jam like you wanted to shit but can't shit out! Means jam teruk. Hooi Min invited me for dinner with her family. So nice of her. Super SUpporter la she!

Then went back, and asked my girlfriend what time she'll be going over tomorrow. When she said 10++ am i was so down. Then i asked her she don't want to see the opening? Hinting her to come earlier to see her boyfriend do the performance in the opening. Then she said will come for the opening. Was so ever relieved and gementar. So slept early as i was already very tired. Woke up at 5am, picked up Hooi Min and reach UM to do the last practice. Then went the rest was history!!

The event started as we planned and Matt knows that we are doing something but just don't know what we are going to do. hahaha.. He cried when he saw us dancing!! woohooo...kena killed. So the whole day was fantastic day with the field fulled with water and becak and also everyone of us got Burned! Towards the end we did the closing and medal presentation and overall champion. We invited Nina and the house captains to give a speech gave out the best sportman award. Now, The Best Sportman award got to fulfill the criteria of the Awlympic vision. It's not about winning or losing but it's about jumping in to have fun. It goes to Darren a.k.a Spaceship Korkor.

Then the committee invited up to the stage and then Nina cakap lagi and then we gave asked Matt to stand in front to give a speech and he cried again and we gave him a chairman award!! hahaha.. When he was speaking i was few of the committee was already crying like a baby. Why?? It's the end of our wondeful 4months journey being together and bonded better than super glue. Then we did a mime and taught everyone. Again we corner Matt and did the mime to him and now i pulak beh tahan i cried when we were doing the mime to him. From then on after finishing the last mime we went down the stage all i could do was standing static at a place just to stop my crying. Mana tau people just came and hugged me and the air mata pun come out non stop. Kena lagi when my senior came over and did the sign to me! Then lagi kena when my girlfriend came and hugged me!! adduuhhhh.....

What i learned was that those who made the effort and contributed and sacrificed will tend to cry more and this goes to all the participants and the Awlympic Committee.

Thank you Matt and everyone in Awlympic for giving me trust to become part of the team and supporting me. Giving me the space and chance to grow with you guys. And also truly appreciate my girlfriend was so patient towards me eventhough got abit drama la and we managed to work it out.

Now all i feel is the blues and the music kept playing in my mind!! gosh!! hahaha

It's all about fun in life. No matter who win or lose, as long as we keep support each other everyone will be happy and benefited.
