BIZFLAG 2013! :D

The past week has simply been... BIZ FLAG :D
wanted to write one whole post on bizflag but realised i don't really have to, cause it has all been recorded in my weekly updates hehe :D

anwanw!
packed the welfare bags from nussu on saturday w chelsea, sean & jiayan
lovely bags with pepero, 8days etc, in addition to our isotonic drinks & breadroll :D

then stayed over from sunday onwards :)

here's my mum's sweet little salad gift for my dinner on the first 2013 stay-in of mine haha

super yummy :D:D

And look at what we do during stayover lol
was supposed be working but 3 of us had nothing to work on so we started watching dramas while sean worked on his script fr rag talk haha

helped out by showing slides for rag's cors talk but my computer hanged fr the first time as i was trying to mail out the flag video :(
but anw anw! here's the awesome flag video! :D


helped out at rag after we were done w flag at 2am haha
worked till 430am but no, this is nothing cause the other raggers worked till morn *claps*

woke up, bathed and it was freaking cold due to the rain
no heater so i totally trembled when i came out haha but interesting
and that was the only time i bathed in the next 40 hours hahaha

collected all the 966 flag tins on monday after flag pbs briefing in the morn
haha the tins were stacked so high it's taller than all of us (Y)

anw so here, the hectic day/night started and all of us just worked through it together under sean/chelsea's lead :D
stupid things happened such as last faculty flagging, blackball/koi/custard buns, intense detailing by the heads, flaggies' sleeping bag fight, wormy sleeping positions, sleeping like dead bodies even after drivers arrived haha, messaging/calling all teams to cfm locations, heartwarming and thankful moments when we see tins and tins of heavy coins, the many times of knocking out, dealing w master list, unstoppable tidbiting over the two nights, joy of sending it to the yih finishing line (Y) etc etc hehe
here's the 2 vpds feeling totally joyful at the end of all the tins collected woohoo!

jiayan and i knocked out at sean's capt room after flag day and wow 8hours of unwakeable sleep hahaha (Y)
went for rag day and biz performance was so super good (Y)
loved the medicine and krashers's performance too damn zai :D

touched when raggers called us in fr a ragcomm shoot too hehe thankful to have met so many new ppl at rag :D
here are the flag-raggers!

and this is one of our few little contributions to rag haha jiayan's penne sticking and my brown painting lol realised our days of effort probably only made up 1% of the whole rag float lol

Then it was coin-counting the next day!

woohoo it was a really tiring 10hrs (instead of the usual 6) of counting the never-ending flow of cash/coins 

but all's worth it when we got our total amount that broke bizad's all-time record :D

here's the pile of money (Y)

happy flaggies after all the coin-counting!! :D

Our success is definitely not contributions of our own flag comm, but every one who donated and every single biz flaggers who actively flagged even though they are super shagged and tired after oweek activities/rag pracs

super touched when i saw pictures of oweek freshies who flagged happily on instagram 

they are the ones who created bizad flag's success! :D

& definitely not forgettinggggggggggggggg

My favourite best flagcomm that i can't possibly have another kind that great :D 

From XOXO

to our first beneficiary visit @ Marina Barage,

to raggers' visit at hshfsc

to the series of homemakers lessons,

to flagday prep,

to flag day,

to coin-counting :)

Thanks for being so understanding and flexible to progs schedule, helping out wherever possible, and possibly my moments of angstiness/last-minute changes during beneficiary visits or pubs requirements. 

This is kinda like my first large (larger-than-my-usual) project in life till now so i'm super thankful that you guys were so willing to put up and make up for my inadequacies :D

Awesome Biz Flaggies 2013!! :D

Not forgetting, once again, THANKYOU MAMA & PAPA for encouraging me to sign up for flag, giving me reminders/encouragements when I am in times of trouble or setbacks, driving me ard everywhere (home, school, kovan, even tampines during xoxo etc) at any time from 8am to even 12midnight. You guys are so so so nice and lovely that I often feel bad but also an overwhelming sense of thankfulness :D
as well as all my friends/family who gave encouragement and even donations to biz in support of me when I appealed to you guys to donate on flag day :D

Flag has ended (kinda, but there's prize presentation coming up soon on monday haha) - hope we made a positive difference to our beneficiary hehe,
and school shall start soon.
You have set your aim, and you know you have to reach it or future's bleak (not really, just less bright haha)
Do it well, for you, and for your family.
Go Xiaowei! :D
