Major Panic

14 08 2008

As the preview is just around the corner, it drove the BPYs into panic mode.

Just lastnight, we managed to finalise the dance steps for our grand finale with the cooperation of all BPYs! Hooooray! We have barely any steps just the night before and having to confirm on the formation and the steps was a huge achievement. As we became more confident of the steps, our spirits came alive once again and we were eager to master the dance when the dance teachers signaled for another run-through.

Rifin was up on the chair in front of us, making sure that our formation was solid and justified necessary changes with the teachers. His assistant, Wan, gave suggestions while checking the formation and making trips between the dance arena and the chair Rifin was standing on.

Brief motivational speeches were exchanged to spur everyone into motion. We are currently rushing the designs of our posters for our exhibition on the preview day. Exhibition members were being reminded of their tasks and today, all of our work will be coming together and hopefully, be completed!

I just got a text message today from Manis. Our B1 attire are ready and the female BPYs are called in for a fitting session.

GZul who is running the Sponsorship Committee visited some potential sponsors today together with Wan, Nabil and Daphne. We’ve even got a call from Rakbiah Construction who was so sincere in offering his help to us and with direct quote, “Kitani Anak Brunei dan kami ani maukan tolong”. We were all touched by his words!

Sullivans have sponsored us some canned food items and more will be coming from them.

On Friday, some of the BPYs will be going to several landmarks in Brunei to do video clips of traditional games.

On Saturday, Naj will be getting the BPYs to congregate at the Brunei National Museum for some hands-on session on Brunei’s traditional games.

Also, on Friday night, our last practice before our orientation on Sunday, our rehearsals would be full-on with the backdrops ready. We will be working on the backdrop tonight.. WWEEEEEEEE!

Name cards are yet to be done as we are currently waiting for designs to come up. We have seen several samples and no doubt, the BPY07 has brilliant designs. We are nowhere near finishing these.

All in all, I cannot express how much the BPYs are overjoyed as our hardwork and efforts are finally materialising! BPYs, good job! Gambatte Kudasai!





Sekapur Sirih

Assalamualaikum WTB,

Alhamdullilah dengan izinNya jua tertubuhlah blog ini sebagai penanda kewujudan kami BPY08 di laman siber.

APAKAN!

Hello everyone!

I trust that you’ve become quite familiar with the layout of the blog. It has gone a long way since the day it was set up. I hope to make it as useful as possible without giving away too much.  It’s pretty much our link to the outside world (wah, sad bunyinya).

This part of the blog will concentrate on main events and the intermittent need for announcements and will be managed mostly by yours truly, so get ready for some bulk amounts of girly compulsion and randomness.

You are VERY most welcome to comment, but you may understand that since this is not my blog, all comments that may pose harm or intentional malice, or comments that form personal attacks, or untastefully ridicule any member of BPY2008 will not be published. :) No bad juju please! We support cooperation and understanding and are against hate in whatever forms!

Do check back regularly for updates especially in Albums, photo albums of which are the property of BPY2008 and our official photographer Miss Daphne Lai. Her creative compositions are a joy to the eye! Hehe.

BPYs are very much encouraged to check the Minutes of Meetings (password required) section at least once every 3 days, so you do not get left out on anything. If you do not remember what the password is…  BOHHH DI DOIIII. Send me an email and I’ll give it to you.

As for the rest of the blog, it’s still pretty much under construction so your patience is very much appreciated. I usually update at 3am after Practice. Brains don’t do too well in the “coming up with sentences by then”.

As a final note,

DEAR DST, PLEASE SPONSOR US A GO BROADBAND PACKAGE WITH MODEM  SO WE CAN UPDATE FROM PUSAT BELIA.
