CHMA

Really really really miss CHMA and all the preparations. Yes, i'm missing the preparations, all the planning, designing and brainstorming. It like suddenly a part of me - gone! When work starts to pile up, there is always CHMA and all to look forward to. Always looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labour on (insert CHMA dates for 04-08) and the running around and other crazy stuff.

Best of all was definitely the times we spent together as a CCA and as iMedia. The bubble teas, crapping sessions and the brainstorming sessions which often included a wide range of other issues that have NO relation to CHMA whatsover.

Somehow, I always get very very hyped up when CHMA is one week away. Those who have worked with me will know what I mean. I think for the whole week 70% of what came out from my mouth was regarding CHMA. I love the atmopshere for the entire week!

Eve of MA was also great! Every year, it was looking at the damn clock and waiting for the bell to sound. And every single time, we would cock up some excuse to leave class early, dump our bags in the studio and sit outside the hall, waiting for the familiar yellow van to drive into the plaza (forbidden now of course, thanks to a certain someone).

Then we would shout like mad asses for extra manpower and muscle strength to carry the mixer, the occasionally heavy snake, lighting systems and blah blah blah.

Sound checks on the eve were particularly loud. It was always an iPod and an audio cable that did the damage...

Blasting the music, commenting how great the bass sounded. TRYING our best to top the music that was playing over the speakers. And sometimes (sometimes) turing up the volume exceptionally loud when someone walks past the speakers.

Of course there was all the last-minute nonsense that came along.

The man made snake, the shouts backstage, the throwing of batteries, fanatic searches for mic clips and converters.

Tiring but great feeling.

Hope to be able to be part of the experience this year!

I had the best CHMA last year! Juniors, do cherish yours!

I want to see a great show! ( Don't wanna throw my face away if I were to bring back my classmates!)
