to bag or not to bag

Installation nite for Rotaract Club NTU is coming!!! As one of the business and finance directors, it was our department's responsibility to source for sponsors for this event.
So after an exhausting 3 weeks of spamming ppl's email with our proposals and also calling strangers begging them to give us free stuff, we finally accumulated enough for us to sau kong(finish work).

Unluckily for us, we did not manage to get goodie bags to store the goodies in. How le??

And so we had to brainstorm.. Our ideas included sticking those items with double sided tape to leaving the items (which consists of 2 magazines, a pen,campbell soup(yes campbell soup),vouchers and da famous new water) on the chair and leave it up to the poor guests to decide how they wanna haul all these items back. As gracious hosts, we decided that we do not wanna burden our guests (actually cos wanna save face dun wanna lose to the other two uni's installation nite) and all those ideas were banned..

I was so worried we may have to wrap those items up in newspaper and rafia strings like how aunties wrap ham yu (dried salted fish) in the market.

Thankfully we all decided that to purchase the bags will be a good investment (again to save face). So I asked one of our subcommers to call one of our sponsors who dealt with stationaries in order to get a cheaper price for da bags( haihz..budget budget)

Long story short.. we managed to convince the sponsor to sell us some recyclable bags at a loss le..eheh It was definitely worth all the haggling n hidden insinuation the sponsor hurled at us for trying to get him to sell us the bags within our budget..( he actually stated that me and my other director dunno costing le..what he din know was that she was a accounting student while i am a maths n econs student..shhh.. i think he had the impression that we were science students..muahaha)

And so we managed to get 100 gorgeous bags for da guests.. better appreciate it people.. u nearly had to get the sponsored items wrapped like ham yu ok.

mmm..mugging mugging..(TEST ON FRIDAY!!)
