Dance Club - "Pimp My Night"

Today is definitely going to be one of the most memorable nights during my working tenure in UTAR. As most of you guys would have known that I am leaving UTAR, my last day in UTAR would be next Monday. Tonight was “Talent Showcase 2009 - Pimp My Night", which was organized by Dance Club, PJ Campus. At the same time, this is also my last event/ project in UTAR.

During the preparation/ planning process, a lot of miscommunications happened among the committee. The committees were clearly not prepared for the event. Planning was not properly done. The committees were completely clueless about what they can do and what they should do. One point of time, I even considered to postpone the event. Thank god that the committees refused to do so, they insist to carry out the event as planned. Otherwise, I might feel regret for the rest of my life, for missing such a good show and killing their spirit and passion in doing this event.

I am not saying that they did a fantastic job. In fact I have seen some better events. However, with short time frame and committees who clearly were unsure of what to do, I would say that I am proud of the outcome tonight! Everybody put in their best effort in making this event a success, and I do think that it is a successful event!! For such a long time, I stop seeing PD011 full with people. Ever since most courses were transferred to other campuses, almost all events are facing the problems of getting audience, and today the hall was full. It was so full that people actually have not enough places to sit. They have to stand or sit on the table. It was just so encouraging and motivating!

This makes me regret on my decision for tendoring my resignation. I am really so happy working with all the students here, helping them during event was so tiring, yet so enjoyable. This is the kind of feeling that I might never get in other institutions, industries or other position.

Jo told me that I have to move on; maybe I will be able to see better and more wonderful things at the world outside. UTAR is always going to be one of the best memories in my life. My effort and contribution in UTAR will not come to a waste. At the end of the day, I will be able held my head high and says that I am proud of myself and I am proud of UTAR students. Because they are really a bunch of kids who are able to make the impossible into possible!
