As I have been touting last week, I had a faculty dinner last Friday. Well, it wasn't a great one. *sigh*
The setting was grand! Yet it seems like the participation/attendance was a bit poor, plus I feel like only certain people are being 'celebrated'...esp. those researchers (in agreement with the Uni's aim to become an RU).
Anyway, I promise, next year is gonna be my year!!!
Well, that nite... as encouraged by my fellow bloggers frens, I wore my bluish purple dress as u could see in the pix...
It's nice to see most of the faculty members put extra effort to look their best, not to mention some fashion victim :P
I arrived early with DrWan (as scheduled in the tentative) and took a seat next to the former Deputy Dean & Dr Harinder.
We chitchat and I didn't get up of my seat until the event ended, although part of me really wanted to go around and say hi to some people.
I believe that's the reason I wasn't noticed, besides the lacking in terms of my contribution to the faculty.

Joget and saturday nite fever by the admin team.
Hey, I don't mind not getting the Prom Queen title, as I don't wanna be paired with the narcisstic Prom King. Hahaha.
But the Prom Queen wore a dress with a black inner, which I think is only half-elegant.
So, the tips/strategies to make yourself in the limelight...
1. Wear something nice, though might seem overdone.
Don't be afraid to apply a 5-inch make-up or fake eyelashes. Wear bling-blings as much as possible. It's better than u appear as the sloppy one.
2. Arrive a bit late, so others notice how well u dress up. This was my biggest mistake. So, lessons learnt.
3. Else, u might have to walk around, chitchatting with others. Although u might have to excuse urself from the table, go mad cam-whoring. Ignore others if they are staring sternly at u.
4. If no.3 makes u look desperate, tone it down by doing a performance. This is an indirect way to be in the limelight. Nevertheless, make sure u don't fool urself with silly performance like a clown.
5. If no.4 is not possible (bcoz u have stage fright or u just don't possess the talents to sing/act), do something significant for the Faculty, that'll make u go up the stage. E.g book publication, research, gila research, research lagi, lagi-lagi research...etc. Hahaha
Hahaha. This particularly applies to my workplace. Very the poyo!
Hmmm....As I said, next year is gonna be my year.
I mean, not to be a Prom Queen, but I'll go up the stage for something I can be proud of.
