I joined this committee on the 11th June 2010, when Elfonson came over and asked me about some stage related stuffs. He told me that Kelvin was the in charge and that I should go and look for him, tell him about the various things in which we could do in the future, while running the show.

Along the way, with various meetings in the Lions Befrienders main office as well as meetings in school that clashes with my other meetings, there were minor conflict that I observed within the department.

The night before the execution day, the entire committee within Republic Polytechnic came together once again, going through the entire event running over and things in which we may be potentially having issues with. The meeting lasted till around 10pm. At 10.30pm, the entire committee sat at various location within the Agora Halls and worked on their part, where we ate supper together.

At around 11pm, I bid goodbye to the entire committee, sat on my dad's car and left for home. In my mind, every other second, I'm worried about the committee's position, how are they coping, are they sleeping already, etc.

At 5am, I woke up, with the help of my dad, I proceeded to sch and arrived before 6am. The entire committee, were at various locations. Some giving wake up calls, some doing registration, some others prepared for the event. The entire area seems very happening.

At around 7am, I led the entire team of people under the backstage crew to the backstage of the TRCC theatre. As I waited for the arrival of various teams, things were very messy. Over the wakie talkie given to every committee member, I could hear all the chaos going on. Various people requesting for different things and asking various questions over the walkie talkie.

At 8am, as all the groups have arrived, I waited for my spike tape to be sent over. At around 0815, I then managed to start my final rehearsal and marked various position on stage.

0900 came, I had to run through various things with Wushu, LB singing team and Magic IG. I requested for the LB singing team to move out from stage at 0905. Within half an hour, we had to complete Magic and Wushu's marking and running through.

0940, after all the performing groups are ready, the chairs at the audience seat marked, we opened the house doors. Promptly at 1015, at the request of Catherine, we closed the house doors, house lights were dimmed, and we started the running of the entire show.

Various surprises were given to me along the way. During Magic's item, the mid curtains were moved up and transited to full stage. I didn't even notice it and was looking at Magic's item intently.

During the second lucky draw, there was a request of the emcees to speak in Hokkien and Malay. I heard, on stage, from 2 languages, it slowly transited to 4 languages, I was very surprised that they were capable of that.

The lightings for the show, was amazingly pretty. The entire show ran on really quickly and successfully. At the end of the show, during the finale item, the performers knew how to line up and entered the stage, I was like, wow!

All the performers even knew how to stay on stage till the curtains are down, waving to the audience as the curtains are coming down. The show, to me, was extremely successful. Tears came to my eyes as the entire program came to a close.

We went back to Agora Hall 1 for debrief and lunch. I sat with the backstage crew, ate and had a great time chatting with them.

When we reached home, I quickly sent out Thank You emails to all the performing groups and advisors of TRCC. As I read the email from Minyi today, tears came down my eyes. Knowing that our hard work had not been in vain, had came to close. Indeed, it was a great experience for me.
