so here i am using my live space for the first time in years. i do not know why.

I would like to rant about... our interact installation dinner. i need to let off STEAM.
to say the least, i am not happy with how things are going. no one has been putting any effort into the dinner aside from rachel and myself.
we found the cash for the sponsors, we're the bloody emcees, we're performers, we've had to make the tickets AND the booklet, we're even cutting out the damned styrofoam letters for the sign (though i, being the loving, caring, ultra sweet girlfriend i am, made terry do it for me ahaha. but his help doesnt count because he doesn't even go to our school =_=).
we ask for the other committee members to help out, like everyone collecting at least 50 bux each, which would REALLY help us out. but, aside from wendy and khaucellya, we have seen absolutely NO MONEY from the other members. they won't even pay up for their tickets. hell, they haven't even confirmed whether they're going. even our outgoing president will be late.


yes i am pissed. i am particularly cranky and irritable today as i have a cold, a sore throat, and my entire body is aching. all thanks to dunhills, which, in my opinion, should only be smoked by the devil.


now kuching high has cancelled on us. therefore, we'll need at LEAST 25 people from our school to attend, otherwise we could very well fall into debt with the restaurant. and, seeing as how we have been unable to find a contact at swineburne, if swineburne cancels as well, we'll need 30. christ.
does that sound AWESOME or what? in attendance for our installation dinner was... Kuching town. =_=
our teacher (who has shown little interest and given minimal help) won't let us invite other schools or open the tickets to the public (aside from performers. but that doesn't help very much, as so far, the performers i've invited are performing for free. it simply wouldn't work to walk up to someone from another school and say "HEY WE NEED YOU TO PERFORM FOR OUR DINNER. NOW BUY A TICKET").
our seniors haven't helped either. one of them (i'll just be open about this, you can go hate me later) nicholas is filled entirely with criticism and skepticism, which is REALLY pissing me off. none of them have bothered to pass us their photos for the booklet, and it's FOUR DAYS to our dinner and the committee has just been slacking and throwing all the work to rachel and i.

what also annoys me is how little say we get in to the actually dinner. for starters, it has to be a chinese dinner. now is that stereotypical or what? it cannot be a buffet. it must be very posh and formal. all sorts of irritating protocol to follow. and how many people will be in attendance? 50. all this fuss over 5 tables. v frustrating.
i originally campaigned having it at Jambu, as that would've been totally awesome. western food, served buffet, chill atmosphere, dim lights, lounging on couches. we would've had to pay extra for the soundsystem and it was slightly more expensive than the Banquet, but if everyone helped out it wouldn't have been a problem. that would've been a dinner i'd have liked to attend.
but NOoo, everywhere too pricey (and would you believe they then suggested having it at CROWNE? chyeah that's economizing right there. and for five tables, too!), buffet too cheesy (aha yeah and being served fish just like at every other installation dinner isn't), etc.


i don't know how rachel is taking this so well. i really want to get up and shout at everyone but it's too late for that now. four days to turn this round.
i am very tired of all this. you all can go hate me now.
