bYSI Beautify Me MakeOver Contest

5 & 6 April 2008 was a memorable weekend for 20 ladies as they experienced a live Make Over at Jurong Point.

~The ladies with the 3 judges in the middle~

These ladies age between 17 - 57 underwent not only a FREE make over (Proudly sponsored by Sa Sa Cosmetics), they had a well-known fashion stylist, BERNARD to help them choose their clothes as well as a Professional hair stylist, Eric to do up their hair. Their clothes were fully sponsored by bYSI and they put on shoes from Charles & Keith!

The event was a success but behind stage...

  • We had to go through many rounds with the event manager to confirm mechanics, sequence of events
  • Checked through Emcee scripts to make sure the language used is acceptable
  • Managed all the clothes and shoes - Carrying up and down the mall
  • Labelling of clothes and shoes and accouting for every piece of them
  • Taping the base and heels of the shoes so that they remain clean for selling after the event
  • Coordination for sound, house-keeping and security on event days
  • Running around to make sure everything is running as planned
  • Buying food and drinks for contestants and crew
  • Checking condition of clothes after event and returning them
  • Removing tape from shoes and cleaning them before returning
  • Post-Mortem of event...
Now you see the hard-work behind the scenes... No wonder the saying goes "台上三分钟,台下三年功"

Despite of these hard work, i must say i enjoy what i am doing... its part and parcel of events management which is my interest!!

The only unhappy thing is:

  • The last minute changes by... (haiz if you have been following my blogs closely, you would know who im referring to!!)
  • Everything that has been arranged and planned has to be changed and we have to do the physical work
  • Last to come, first to go and we are expected to stay to settle stuff, clean up....even on a SUN!!! Where did the so-called team-work go to?
All i hope now is for a healthier environment in my new place.... Higher PaY - I expect more work but not NoNseNse!!! *PraY*PraYing HarD*
