On 16th Feb Studio 51 got the opportunity to handle the Royal Centennial Dinner for Anderson School Ipoh, celebrating their 100 yrs. Anderson is among the earliest school founded before the war. If i'm not mistaken the 3rd after Penang Free School and Victoria Institution.
We went to Ipoh a day earlier to make sure everything in place. I'm participating as the event coordinator, making sure the flow of the event runs smoothly.
This is Raja Dihilir's keyboardist. Discussing the script for MC with him . Farah and Sufiyah Noor waiting for the reherseal. Opening dance reherseal 'Ala Donde' (Sultan Azlan loves this dance very much!) Decor for the VVIP table . All the kayu and kain custom made and brought from KL. This costs nearly RM 10k!
Among the VVIPs. I met Normala and hubby during our coffee break, she still looking good and cun! Andersonians ni macam VI & MCKK jugak la, menghasilkan ramai tokoh2 korporat and individu2 yang successful. So , ramai sangat VVIP tapi saya tak sempat nak capture all their pics coz damn BZ running here and there.
Sultan is not even an Andersonian, but he acted as a Royal Patron to this school. And he managed to drop by despite the issue in Perak previously. Thats so thoughtful of him.
Arrival of Sultan , belakang skali Tuanku Zara. Ive been dying to meet her in person! And I got to shake hands with her, but the pic is in my facebook. Taken by the other photographer (She is so damn cun and slim and sweet)
Farah performed Kasih, Mencintaimu and Big Spender Abby performed Nirmala . She is juara bintang remaja Asli RTM tahun lepas. Sikit lagi je suara die nak tapau ctnurhaliza This cake is so awesome! the team : Dhiya, Is, Fizah & Zarina At the stage after the event All and all, we got thumbs up from the Anderson School committee and the feeling is so good! You know, after all the hardwork. Coz initially we heard that these people are difficult to impress. But we did it! Thanks to all the team involved. Thanks to the boss for his guidance too!
Lastly, me and the boss ;pAlthough coordinating an event is such a hassle work, I realized that I enjoy doing it. I have joined several events with Studio 51 previously. And now I understand why he loves his job very very much even tho the stress in sometimes unbearable. I learned a lot from him about patience and how to handle unexpected occurences.
So, we are going to have a good rest for a few days!
