Barbecue Night in Seremban

Barbecue night... this was one of the orientation programmes in Ciinical School Seremban. Bascially we, the Semester 6 student, have to prepare performance and food for the seniors and the guests.

So, we were actually quite busy during the 1st week of our posting. However we have to meet up with our orientation group for the barbecue night. For our group, we have to prepare chicken wings for food and a play for the performance. We didn't really prepare much for our performance. Nisha came up with the idea of playing something like "Malaysia Idol" and Ben Shyen wrote the script (actually he just came up with the storyline and we have to came up with our own lines).

Other groups practised their performance every night but our group didn't practise our play at all until the very last minute before the night. We nearly gave up because Ben didn't want to play the gay role and members not coming for practice. None of us were motivated to practise. Finally we decided to kick out the gay role and we started to practise 1 hour b4 the night.

The MC was played by Melissa and the three judges were Nisha, Awatef and Patrick (but Patrick didn't appear that night and he was replaced by Victor who wasn't our group member). The contestants include Jin Aun, me, Tanga and Ben. Poh Tian and Nina, 2 small girls, acted as the security guard and Sally played as the cleaner. Initially, I supposed to play as the MC but there's no script and I didn't know what to say. So I changed role with Melissa, who was initially playing as a contestant who can sing well. But later Ben didn't want to play the gay role so I asked him to play my role since he can really sing well. At last, Awatef came up this idea that I have to play as a super childish contestant who sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

We practised twice and hoping everything would be fine. We really did't put any hope in our performance because other groups put in more effort than us. There were 5 group of us, group 1 was performing an Indian dance, group 2, my group, performing "SS Idol - Shock Sendiri Idol", group 3 was performing "Mario", group 4 sang songs which Johan wrote the lyrics which were so so so funny and group 5 performing a play, too, which was 'in prompt to'.

I think the "Mario" was really cute and funny. Try to imagine the Mario we used to play during our childhood, played by a real person. If you can't imagine, watch this! This idea came from the current semester 1 performance in variety night. The video above was played by the Sem 1. So basically group 5 just copied the idea. The songs sang by group 4 were funny too. Johan wrote the lyrics which reflect medical student's life in IMU BJ & Clinical School. If I got the lyrics, I'll post it here.

After all our group performance was not that bad at all. There was one lecturer gave us the highest marks. However the champion went to mario and the 2nd went to Johan's group. Satisfied with the results...

After the performance, the guests and the seniors got to have their dinner 1st. We, the sem 6, gotta stay in the hall to listen to the ex SRC president and the current SRC president's advice. After that, when we came out, we gotta queue up for food and the food was finished b4 my turn. I only got some fried noodle and 1 chicken wing. We prepared so hard for the performance and food, but we didn't get return. And the seniors actually thanked the guests and the seniors for attending the barbecue night but they didn't thank us for all the preparation made by the sem 6. They only thanked us for coming...

However I do have fun enjoying the performance. Looking forward for the next sem barbecue night...
