I think it was the fact that it was our pre-graduation night, but everyone left with a sparkly, happy glow that night. ^.^

So, a bit of backstory first -- the Pre-Graduation Night ('Malam Pra-Graduan', known henceforth as MPG =P) is sort of like a prom night, except its for us future Diploma in Mass Communications graduates. =)

The purpose of the event, which we are supposed to organize ourselves, is not to just create lovely memories before we graduate, but also takes 10% of our overall grade. O_o

There was a LOT of drama and messiness going on behind the scenes in the months leading up to MPG -- involving lost invitations, nearly half the organizing committee stepping down, sponsorship one day before the actual event, and egos flying everywhere -- resulting in our lecturer advisor calling us the worst batch she's ever dealt with, but when the time actually came, it was such a relief everything ran along smoothly. ^.^

I was part of the Creative & Multimedia Bereau, and besides designing and maintaining the website, I was also in charge of managing the videos to be shown on the night itself: the student award videos (categories ranged from Most Stylish, Class Clown, Loudest Person to Favourite Lecturer and Most Popular Person), the sponsor 'commercials' and looping background/filler to prettify the huge video screens when nothing else was showing. =P

Watching the videos airing on MPG night made me feel as if all those 4am bedtimes were worth it. I was so stressed on MPG week, I was like, "Screw MPG! I'm not going!" and on the verge of giving up every five minutes ^.^; But my Multimedia and Advertising lecturers actually commended me on my vids! ^.^ I actually finished the videos only the night before and arrived at the location an hour before it was supposed to commence to upload the videos I made changes to.

I think I enjoyed making the videos more than its healthy to -- I used orchestral music from anime and games (namely Ouran High School Host Club and Gintama, as well as a track from We ♥ Katamari) instead of the ugly contemporary, poppish hip-hop beats the programme director handed to me which didn't suit the 'Enchanted Garden' theme AT ALL. =( I wanted to control at least this aspect of the event: the use of music from anime. ^.^ It was my own private fantribute, .

PLUS, the video I did for my class, is based on the fourth ending sequence of Gintama. =P Muahaks. And who says watching anime isn't beneficial? ^.^

It was a sweet night. A magic night. And much gossip material to make a tableful of roommates happy for the next few hours following our return back to the dorm.

Brief Notes:
1) There is a particular band that night whose frontman has an ego the size of Canada, which killed my mood to go to the dancefloor. And his singing was ear-splittingly horrible. >.<

2) My friends and I performed this dance for the class performance (among two other dances: dangdut, and a Bollywood movie dance called 'Gelimat' -- don't ask @__@). BUT OURS WAS A LOT SIMPLER, LAWL. >.<

3) Goodie bags, oh my! =D Chocolate? Perfume? Whole bunch of random goodies from Visit Malaysia 2007? ^.^ Magazine with Nicholas Saputra on the cover? SQUEE! ^.^
