went for a ceremony today and it was quite poorly planned. firstly, they dont cater for insertion. not sure why they were afraid of messing up the sequence when it is not even organized in the first place. went all lengths to change duty of a guy so that he can attend the ceremony, only to find that he would not be able to receive his certificate cos he was not in the "planned sequence". so inflexible. felt bad to tell the guy to go home, he came for nothing.
there were so much time wasted waiting. if they want to match the late timing of the arrival of the minister, then they should not have asked the recipients to come so early. you could see the disgruntled faces of the parents.
i mean how hard is it to organize an award ceremony? back in red cross, it's like been there done there. maybe the difference in protocol but the sequence of events would be similar.
1. sitting plan is the most crucial. they had such miserable small tags, i really had to move my head close to the chair to be able to see the label. maybe they had no experience with insertion. you could just put the insertion guys at the back of the queue. when it's time for them to receive, you can call for them to join the queue. very hard meh?
2. MC calling the recipients. the list of attendees must be confirmed prior to the start of the ceremony. could still see those names of absentees being announced and some moments of fumbling over the correct certificates.
hope the upcoming event that we are organizing would be a great one. perhaps next year they might pass the organizing baton to us.
done with my grumbling... loving this song. written by alicia keys
If you feel good
If you’re feeling good,
Put one hand in the air, say yeah
