Interruption..

It's been a long time since I last blog.
And I don't even know where to start.
Should I blog about my event? My life? My studies?

Well, let's talk about my event.

TheRace Taylors... sounded good, sounded very 'big', promoted to a lot of people, but the responds from them were bad..as in really bad.

TheRace Taylors is actually organized by me and my group mates (Degree in Hotel Management final sem) as it is required by one of the subjects that we're taking.
We can either organize a forum, competition, or an exhibition.
But we chose competition, and came out with something that's similar to Amazing Race.
The routes, activities, obstacle courses were all organized quite well I would say.
The marketing, PR, and everything else was quite well too.
Been through tough times and all though..
But some people just like to interrupt our event.

Eventually, from the beginning of our event, we wanted the participants to be students from any colleges.
BUT, some people said no, and so, we would have to only concentrate on TAYLORIANS and include high school KIDS as well, and BRING FORWARD the event.
Having few road shows for 3 weeks in all of the Taylor's campuses made us realised that Taylorians are not very into this event although the activities involved and the prizes to be given out is superb. Hey! The activities that 1 need to go through cost about RM300! And some of it, they might not have tried it before. But still, they're not interested.

Well, the dateline for participants to sign up is 23rd September 2009, and only 2/3 weeks before the dateline, we open to students from other colleges and high school
There are some who are interested and some are not.
Some people are just very 'cocky' even when we're distributing the flyers. Annoying!!
This happened in one of the Taylor's campus that we went..GRRRRR...
Some just say yes and well, no reply from them.

Well, everything's too late now.
The contestants, and suppporters..
And there's no back up plan.
And elimination round is on 26th and 27th September.

My wish for now is to get my friends and other strangers to respond to TheRace.
Next post..
Well, let's promote for TheRace although I know not many people is reading it.

Below are some pictures taken on Thursday.
Well, we were preparing the package to be given out to the contestant.

Some of the people involved in the packaging

It was a fun and tiring day coz some of us had presentation at 9.00a.m., then class till 12.30p.m.
Then, distributed some flyers to other colleges, and back to college for the packagin.
I myself reached home at 10.00p.m., after having 'bak kut teh' with some of my classmates.
It's fun because there's team work. We did everything together, laughed and joked around.
