Two of the organisers for this Saturday. This pic, was taken at the Merdeka Train Party organised by RandomAlphabets.com, where they too were the organisers.

After first agreeing to be a speaker, then having to pull out, then less than an hour later, I was back in.

This Saturday I will be the moderator for the PR Colloquium 2009 ‘Public Relations Colloquium 2009- The Role of Public Relations in Promoting Youth Activism’. It is organized by the final year students of Bachelor of Mass Communication (Hons.) (Public Relations) and in collaboration with The Institute of Public Relations Malaysia Students Association – IPRMSA UiTM Chapter and Faculty of Communication and Media Studies (FCMS) UiTM Malaysia.

I was meant to stop working an hour ago, sleep and continue at 6.30am. Now it’s 2am, as I prep to sleep, I am dancing alone to this song.

I have just spent about the last 45minutes trying to fall asleep. During which, to assist myself,  I tried reading a book, turning on the air-conditioning system and then finally jotting down to-do notes and ideas in my handphone, before trying again for a few more minutes. It is now 3.11am and I finally conceded that it’s best to just get back to work and stay up till sahur, instead of getting a lousy two hour.

…I just noted the link of the title of this post, to the song and my present situation.

I was easily five years younger than the youngest chap from their side and clearly looked upon by them as this foreign kid from a foreign background with foreign ideas. After presenting and responding to questions, I got what I was there for. Not quite nervous, I was beginning to be curious about how this was going to end.

We ended up shaking hands at the doorstep outside, as everyone in the whole building were assembling at the front due to a fire that triggered the alarm.

Lack of an appetite. Inability to fall asleep. Stay asleep.

On 31st August, Random Alpahabets will be having two things. The new t-shirt launch and a flashmob esque project.

RA+D : The two t-shirts in support of Eco Knights and PRIDE Foundation (launched July 2008) are practicaly sold out. The two new designs will be in support of KL Gymnastics Association and SPCA. It is a project RA has in collaboration with restaurant chain Delicious.

MTP : Imagine decorating the interior of your house for  a birthday party you’re throwing for a friend. RA plans to do the same thing, but inside a public operational train in Kuala Lumpur as Happy Birthday Malaysia.  Merdeka Train Party will be open to the public to participate. Invitations coming soon.

After many weeks of laying the groundwork for both projects, today my bedroom which is also my office (not a good idea), will also act as the War Room. I’ve never had to prepare and tackle two things of this scale on the same day. As always, I put up the white board. Before I start scribbling plans from my wretched mind on it, here is.
