general meeting

phew, streamyx is back on. my internet's been abit choppy these past few days. anyhow, here's the long awaited general meeting post!

monash business club's general meeting of semester 1 2006 started with true malaysian fashion - it began about twenty minutes after the allotted time. but i'm sure your tutorials / lectures / graduation ceremonies have not begun on time as well due to the universal truth - speakers are deep sleepers.

that's right. so far i've not encountered any speakers that could leap out of their dusty rest and immediately sound proper. they usually need to be coaxed by the sound system guys and after emitting a few groans and high pitch squeaks, they bashfully address the crowd with too much bass. or treble. or echo. or the billion other reasons sound system guys use.

not that i have anything against sunway's grey-blue adorned maintenance guys. they did everything in their power to help us start on time, short of buying a newer better sound system lah. still, we managed to end the meeting on time at 1.

but i'm getting ahead of myself. the turnout that day was incredible. the ones and twos who came to the booth to register all added up to form the packed lecture theater 2 that tuesday afternoon. some powerpoint presentations ensued featuring our recent 'best booth' award and the upcoming trip to redang.

next up were the various department spokesperson(s) - laura and meiyin representing public relations (selling tickets, getting new members, face of mbc), andrew representing mmshop (mmshop map available in previous post, sells merchandise like reload cards, shirts, stationery, etc), jakson and jorene and the reluctant zz representing activities (organize and run events, book sales, networking party, trip), chin yen and stephen representing the editorial (publish newsletters and magazines), and of course

your friendly neighbourhood blogger (complains why mbc is so inefficient and why can't other clubs catch up). i'm still looking for people who are able to use (and already have) microsoft frontpage and/or java. or also if you're interested in doing what i'm doing (the blog la duh) drop a line here and we'll be in touch. =)

so for all the new members who joined and got a bad impression of the club because we started our general meeting late, fret not. this is the best mistake you've ever made. for now lah. you still gonna get married right. ha see..
