Been busy with planning for an award ceremony for the past few mths. This event meant quite a lot to me because it is the 1st time and making decisions without checking with my head becos he was suddenly away at Bahrain.
There were many last min actions and decisions to be made. From sending out nomination forms, to selecting and informing awardees, booking of venue, arranging for catering, printing out certificates, ensuring the photographer will be on time, arranging one common day which all the heads are able to make it, seating arrangements, stage backdrop, down to all the misc arrangements and making sure the ceremony goes well and smoothly, I did it all by myself with minimal guidance from my manager nor my dept head.
At the beginning, I was feeling very lost and helpless, I felt like being thrown into the big sea and was struggling to keep myself afloat all by myself. But I am glad they have given me the opportunity and leave it to me to do the planning.
Of cos I faced some hiccups along the way, but I am really glad to be able to knock down all these hindrance one by one. Come to think of it, it isn’t really that difficult anyway, as long as I keep calm and deal with issues tactfully. The actual day arrived and thank goodness everything went smoothly except for one little hiccup. Well, i do feel sore over the little hiccup because I am quite a perfectionist but then again, I reminded myself to accept imperfection and I was able to let it go.
Thankfully, finally, I can let down my tension and heading back home peacefully and happily to pack my stuff for the chalet Ginnise has planned. :)
