PFS Installation Day

When I was first being informed that I have been tasked with the responsibility to lead and guide the club for the next 1 and a half year, I was dumb-founded. I mean, what are the odds that a first-year member of a club gets to ascend to the highest post available by simply just joining the club? And yet it happened , a month or so after joining interact club , I got the post of the president =P . It all happened too fast that I was still in the state of shock and find it hard to believe after all this. Back then, my biggest concern was the installation day.

For those uninformed, interact club have this thing called installation day and as the name implies, on that day , the installation of the incoming committees would commence and be conducted by the outgoing committees. Basically the whole thing is we have games and activities and installation was just the "formal" name we go by to have fun in the school. However, the entire event was to be conducted and organized by ... me, or rather i mean US , the incoming committees .That was my biggest fear back then for I knew almost nothing regarding the club.

In a blink of an eye, the installation day finally arrived (26/09/2009) and to my surprise once more, it actually went on pretty smoothly.Well then, here is our story ~ I shall let the picture do the talking next. Enjoy ~ =)

There,first I have to say , thank you to the two brilliant emcees, benjamin and moey ~ thanks guys You guys did great ! =)
A closer look at the two emcees.

Part of the crowd.
Our first game was called the proposal game. Basically you have to run and pass the baton on to some random person until the music stops... then...

Then, you will have to propose to them =D . Of course, using some awkward materials we prepared beforehand.Like in this case, the guy used the cardboard as a bouquet of flowers.Cool Imagination huh ? Haha

Well... who says that people of the same genders can't propose each other?Look, we have gay couples too XD
" Marry me please, I am begging you "

Then, we had a little dancing performance from our own pfs members. Cool mask they have there right?

Next up was lunch .I bet no one will come to our installation if there was no food. Hah !
Then, we continued with another performance from yet another one of .... yup you guessed it OUR member ! Cool right, and it's a freaking band ! Damn, I am so proud of you guys.Who would have guessed that even pfs have their own rock bands apart from the nerdy band geeks in the school. They performed the song "21 Guns " from Green Day.

The drummer with his yamaha drum set .
The lead guitarist + vocalist ,who also doubles up as the emcee, Benjamin Sagerayne Han.Cool guy with a cool name. Cool !
Complete 3-piece band consisting of two guitarist and and a drummer.You guys rock !

This is supposed to be a free-dance session bu apparently the guys are too shy to dance eventhough they went out lol.
Even the gals are more sporting than the guys ...
Until this guy shows up and show them how cool can hip-hop be =D.Then, comes the next game. Balloon throwing game.
Participants getting ready for the big game.
One participant is supposed to be blindfolded while the others lead him/her along the designated path while we places / throw the water filled balloons to them but....As the saying goes "rules are meant to be broken " ,and considering we are dealing with mainly pfs guys and some other rowdy and wild teenagers here,it quickly went from a proper game, to a wild balloon throwing party ! Haha as expected.
Most of us ended up wet at the end of the day but seems like some of them enjoyed being wet . Just look at his smiling face =D .
Look at the mess we have to clean up afterwards. But it's worth it = )
Finally,it ends with some gifts and trophies presentation to the other school for their willingness to attend our installation day. (every school that have interact club has to have their installation day )

The hall after the end of installation.

At the end of the day , everyone was tired but we did have some fun , wait .. ok maybe a lot of fun =D .It was particularly fun that we get to ring the school bell and mess with the school PA System and hall and virtually everything in the school with no teachers or whoever discipline officers whatsoever telling us what to do . It was a day completely filled with us, rowdy hot-blooded teenagers commanding the stage =D .

I have to say, it was indeed a very fun and memorable experience.Although it wasn't the best party but it wasn't that bad either.At least, now I can proudly say that I had organized an event of this level and this experience will definitely prove beneficial in future events.

Alright, that's all for now. Tune in for more photos and events (if there are any ). Next up, MUET speaking ! ahh... the horror.
