Greetings from Wee Kiat!

Monday, November 23, 2009 | |

I decided to post up on the useful tips and wisdom-filled advice given by our beloved senior, Wee Kiat.

Golden Rule
Orientation is for everybody and everyone should be a part of it. It would definitely NOT be a success without everyone's effort and help.
and of course! Your Pharma Spirit!

Vice President
-Settle all negotiations and paperworks
a) Permission for the Family Park (police)
b) Permission for areas around IMU (SSD, AAD) ***BOOK EARLY!***
c) Meeting with the Dean
d) Negotiate money with SRC Treasurer

Treasurers
-It's all about the money; keeping good track (black and white)

Secreataries
-Compiling and recording stuff

GameMasters
-Finalize the games early and test run if possible. Take note of games details (e.g. water source)
-Brief Station Masters early on their roles.
-Always have plan B in case it rains.

Designers
-Make sure that you're not the middle man when dealing with anything and receive first-hand information about anything regarding to your field.
-Booklet! Provide information on dress code nights; safety and agendas

Decoration
-Plan and set up the LT2 stages early, if possible 1 or 2 hours before the event starts.

Video
-Very Important! Test run the videos in respective venues before hand as certain computers may not have the Codecs needed to play.
-If possible, ensure the video shooting is done 2 weeks before the actual orientation so that the video crew would have time to edit.
-Very Important! Ensure that only a selected few know who the murderer is for Detective Video!

Performances
Finale - this event is actually an event purely for the Juniors, so you may want to prepare 3 performances or so (up to you)

Dress Code
-Very Important! Establish a proper scoring system. Make sure there's no biasness in judging.
Judges can make special request for tasks or punishments. Plan with them as this will make your Dress codes event more FUN!

MC
Very Important! for the Dress code event:
a) Control the flow of event
b) If possible, prepare a rough script (tasks and punishments) or else jokes will be repetitive. Plan with the judges regarding the tasks and punishments.
c) Kindly remind the juniors that dirtyness will not be tolerated (Minus Mark!)
d) Be Lively!

PA, Music & Lighting
-Double check with the IT Department that they have unlocked the PA room before the end of office hours (before 4.30pm)
- PA room has to be booked separately on the Booking Form! Booking LT2 doesn't mean that you are able to access the PA room.

Photography
-You're our very own Paparazzi's!

Souvenirs
-Prepare early!

Scorekeeper
-Get a board to be placed at the Atrium
-Update the scores EARLY, to keep the juniors excited
-Very Important! You may want to keep certain scores a mystery (Charity scores) till the end when you announce it during the Finale; to create some suspense.
-Very Important! Inform the OOs regarding how many marks an event will carry.

Food
-Make sure it's halal

Cleanliness
-Deduction of marks system for the Juniors if place of the responsible team found dirty. Collaborate with the MCs.

Security
-Very Important! Vital! Take note on this issues:
a) Transition from IMU to Family Park (especially at night)
Ensure that there are people around the bridges and exit points.
b) Around Family Park
Be aware of the areas without proper lighting systems
c) Walkie-talkie; communication with the B.O.Ds and First Aid Crew
d) Make sure NO belongings get lost during games (e.g. lock them in the LT2/get someone to watch over)
e) Ensure that the juniors who are waiting for their parents are not left alone after the events; wait in groups!

First Aid
-Get the First Aid Box from SSD
-Make sure everyone have your number

Quarter Masters
-Handyman/woman
-Be ready to give a helping hand

Advisors
-Advise and Relax

These are the things highlighted by Wee Kiat! Take note about it.

Cheers,
Jason
