AJC Prom 2006: Summary
Since we have an organiser of the AJC DnD 2006 paying respect to my blog, here are some of the issues put in digestible chunks.
1) Organiser claim since my ticket is a resale ticket, therefore I had no rights to chose a seat. BUT, resale of Prom tickets is damn common, just in my class of 17 who went for the Prom there were 2 who bought resale tickets. In my girlfriend's class there were 2 who sold off their ticket too. If people had actually sticked with the seating arrangement that Organiser had planned, there would be > 20 people affected. So tell me this is a miscount on Organiser's part, of people don't give a damn about the Organiser, and hence solving Organiser's own problem.
2) Instead of having so many lucky draws, just have a few and serve out the real prizes. I'm sure it would remove the impression in outsiders' mind (the Hotel employees and the external Band present) that AJC is a cheapskate school. Also, giving people paper fan sounded DAMN sincere. Really.
3) Dress code Retro? Did you went to count how many followed that dress code? It would be nice for a change for people to respect the Organiser, or for the Organiser to actually know how people think and learn how to really organise.
4) External band performance after Prom? How about serving food after the Prom activity ended for next year's AJC DnD? I'm sure it would show even more creativity on AJC's part.
5) Very low ticket cost. AJC's DnD ticket cost is actually one of the lowest among the JCs in Singapore. But of course, while people pay 80 for 9 course meal and a higher class hotel, we paid 60 for 7 course meal and a lower class hotel. Go figure.
6) Maybe we can have something like this for a change?
7) After the initial seating, it is possible to enter the ballroom and join in the fun without any tickets. A few people who sold their tickets suddenly discover that they can make it to Prom, and did just that.
8) Getting our own Rojak band to play 4 songs in an overkill, especially when external band is hired, and our own band is really of a very low standard. Do they know the difference between high and low volume? Or just full blast all the way? Did you see the look on everybody's face when Ecstasy played on and on and on...?
9) This thing is called Dinner and Dance. But excuse me? Where is the dance? Only those by the Dance Society? Hey, so I attended Dinner and Dance, and there's only Dance. Refund me 50% of the ticket! At least go ahead and call it Prom or something. Or learn from HCI, where is is called Enchante.
10) Only 20 people not sitting with their classes? Oh well, count the number of tables containing more than 1 classes. The number is so high, other JC's Prom night must have hide away in disgrace.
Oh well... Forget this entry all together.
AJC Prom 2006 is a success, because it sticked with the plan, no matter how bad the planning was. And that is an achievement to be proud of.
Whee. I'm so proud of AJC.
