The day of Curtin Carnival 2005

Sigh... Curtin Carnival has finally came and now it has gone.
Man... what a day...

Woke up more than half an hour after 5.30am, which was the time i thought to wake up.
Showered, breakfast, drove to pick Ian & LC up and then arrive campus...
Still had time before our appointed time to meet with the rest, so we just waited outside the library, where we were to meet the rets.

Opening ceremony began after 9am... speeches, dances, confetti bursting, etc...
Big hoo-haa at the time!
after the opening ceremony, our MCs for the day took over the mic while the carnival went on.
I immediately took a look at every stall there was.
haha.. one occasion, at the Leo's stall, Jenny just pulled me to the stall and kept insisting me to buy something from there.
I kept saying 'later, later, later'... but she kept insisting, so I made a promise to her that lunch time I'll buy the macaroni from their stall. that satisfied her.
that wasn't it though... some time later.. I came back to the stall.. saw Diana there.. she was also a member of Leo.
She suddenly just came to me, grabbed me and pulled me to the stall, insisting me to buy something....
Deja vu, anyone? haha!

There were a few special events that went on as the carnival progressed.
One was the Wireless LAN Workshop at 11am. It basically introduces what Wireless LAN is and includes how one can install one at home.
another was the Curtin Music Fest at 12pm. Some music bands that included Curtin students and outside Curtin bands were there to perform.
Such as Ravera Hill, Last Minute to Climax, Promise Ruin and a few more!
Last one was the Effective Googling Workshop at 1pm. This workshop is basically about teaching how to use the Google search engine more effectively for studies and such.

At 3pm, was the lucky draw session, the moment that everyone had been waiting for.
there were several prizes given away, including four large hampers and of course, the Apple iPod Mini.
I didn't win any.. which I don't mind too much, though it would've been nice...
I would prefer the hampers than the iPod... 4 gigs of space for songs only seems pretty useless for me. maybe could just sell it off.. shrugs...
I was hoping that Benet would win the iPod himself.. .he SO wanted it... with all the work he's done for Curtin, I honestly felt he should be rewarded in kind... but seems that fate did not see it in that way.
After the lucky draw, the Curtin Carnival was over. The Lucky draw was the closing ceremony for the event.
We, Student Council and most of the CV members, worked to help clear up the place.
It took us a while.. but we finally were done in an hour's time.

Most of everyone else had already gone on off... while I stuck around longer.. some of the Student Council members were still around at the Student Council room, so stayed and rested there in the nice air-conditioned room on the nice comfy sofa...
We were all tired but very satisfied with the day. Not to mention, with all the heavy rains and storms going on earlier this week, today's weather had been extremely well-behaved.
Benet seemed very satisfied with the day... and he planned that we, Student Council members go to have a nice dinner at Dynasty Hotel or somewhere some time soon.
Haha! Great!

Sigh... slightly bruised my right knee after an accident happened while we were dancing... haha...
still hurts... but it's nothing that won't stay for so long.
Pretty tired.. eyes were burning heck lot and just wanted to shut down on me while driving back home... haha....
But I had a great day today... it was fun...
