Last year, I attended this event too. If compared to last year, this year was really terrible and full of surprise. There were some funny "incidents" happened too! Haha! Furthermore, their programmes for that day did not even follow whatever that were written in the programme books. It was totally messed up although their programme books' designs looked nice. Here are a few pictures of their programme books. The first one is its cover card. When you flip open it, you will find that the programme book is placed in a small pocket of the card.
Ok, now lets start with the opening. The VIPs were asked to open the ceremony. There was a crystal ball on the table. I think their opening ceremony should be the VIPs put their hands on the crystal ball. However, things didn't go smoothly as it was planned to. The crystal ball fell off to the floor and broke while the students pulled open the curtain. The VIPs didn't manage to do anything with it, luckily, the emcee was prompt enough to say "Luo Di Kai Hua", a chinese proverb meaning something good when something fell off to the ground and broke. Thus, not many people noticed this accident happened and thought it was the way they opened the ceremony, I guess. Then, their 1st programme supposed to be giving souvenirs to the VIPs according to their programme book. Unfortunately, they didn't do so. They started with break dance. When those dancers got ready to dance on the stage and started to dance when the music was on, suddenly, the emcee asked them to stop! They said due to technical problem they need to stop dancing. At that moment, I thought "Huh?! That was terrible!". They didn't do enough preparation before they carried out this event. How can they just simply stop an on-going performance when everyone was watching! Then, those dancers have to stop. The emcee quickly announced that they would start by giving souvenirs to the VIPs.-_-"' While they were doing so, one of the committee members went up to sweep the floor where the pieces of broken glasses fell off just now. What an eyesore! They suppose to sweep it with the curtain closed but they just swept it like that while the process of giving out souvenirs were going on. Can you imagine that?! After that, they continued with the break dance and then chinese traditional dance. While the 2nd dance was going on, to everyone's surprise, there was a fight going on at the back of the hall where some boys beating each other with one lifting up a chair planning to throw at them. No one was there to stop them. Then the teachers hurriedly headed to the back to calm down the situation. Well, of course none can be blamed for this incident but what is the use of the security unit that was set up among the committee members? Aren't they suppose to do something when they saw this happened? They didn't! They just stood there dumbfounded. What a disgrace for the members of this unit. Anyway, lets move on to the next incident. After several performances, there came the lucky draw. This was the worst and funniest lucky draw I've seen before. A guy who looked like "Ah beng" wearing a sunglasses went up to the stage. He kept on talking non-stop about how handsome he was and that the lucky draw gifts were photos of him. He and another girl were talking crap and nonsense stuff thinking that they were actually entertaining us using they humourous jokes and actions!! How sweat we were! It was a bit funny though but they took the time too long before they really announced the lucky draw winners. It was really terrible! They wanted to be humourous, in the end their speeches turned out to be cool jokes. And all the audience were annoyed by them. Despite all the bad stuff I've mentioned, there were 2 good performances too. One of them is "Che Ling". You can view it in my videos below.
Another one was performance by their specially invited guest, Gary Yeh Chun Chen. If anyone of you who don't know who he is, I can only brielfy explain that he is the 8TV VJ for "Ba Ba Liu Shi Shi". Although he is not very famous, he is likable by many. He composed his own songs and sang a few of them last Saturday while performing. His performance was the last one and the whole charity show turned out to be his concert when he came out. Those crazy fans of his kept screaming and taking his photos as though everyone has forgotten that this was a charity night show. Haha! Here is a photo and a video of him.
Finally, I just want to conclude that this is the 1st time I attended such event with the most technical problems and "incidents". Actually there were still many mistakes that I didn't mention because if I really want to, my post will be very, very long. Take this as a reminder to those of you who want to organize events. Make a good preparation and rehearsel before you do anything. Do not make it last minute. Things will turn out very badly like this event I just attented. We can see that the committee members and the performers were not fully prepared. It's a disaster. Above all, I hope you will not mind for some harsh words that I've used and my apology if I have provoked you in any way(especially the organizing members of this event) ^_^
