As the event title ‘Happy Fit’ was inspired
by the movie ‘Happy Feet’, we decided to use penguins as the mascot of the
event.
On the first day of the event, we met at
7.45am and headed down to the fixtures room to get the logistics. We had to do
minor changes to the floor plan as there were some space conflicts with the
health event that happened concurrently with Happy Fit. Nonetheless, our team
shifted the sport stacking booth and I-Appreciate booth back to the atrium
smoothly as we still had space in the atrium.
The set up on the first day was delayed as that
was the first time that our team did set up for an event. In addition to that,
many vendors were caught in the traffic jam due to bad weather. The set up was completed
by 10.45am.

The tear down for the first day was hindered
by the audiences from the ‘NYP Got Talent’ event were standing all over the
atrium. Nonetheless, we managed to tear down everything by 5.45pm.
On the second day, almost
everything went smoothly except the set up as there was a lack of instructions
given and some team members were running all over the place. Other than that,
the event went smoothly with no hiccups. The tear down was much faster and
smoother as compared to the first day as there was no crowd at the atrium. We
managed to complete the tear down before 5.30pm.
Our key take away from
this event is the importance of communication. Throughout the whole planning
process, there were many incidents of miscommunication or even lack of
communication which led to confusion and arguments within the team. We learnt
that as a team, we must communicate more, have patience and empathise each other
in order for a team to excel. These are the learning points that all of us will
remember to take with us into our future career journey.
The event went smoothly despite some
loopholes on the ground. Everyone in the team contributed their efforts for
Happy Fit even though there were some miscommunications. Overall, as the
organizers, we are very grateful that the event was indeed a success.
