yea.. i last posted on fri night abt me working straight after my orientation eh.. so tt morning.. i really didn't sleep at all..so i went to work at 9.. then i actually had a overnite setup on sat nite.. then i was given a last minute standby job on sun.. where i was supposed to be off duty liao eh...
anyway.. on sat nite, i went to standby at a hotel beside great world city.. before that, i went to suntec to do a set up there. so after reaching the hotel beside great world city, i had to do another set up.. halfway through the setup, my colleagues have to rush to do another set up elsewhere.. so i was left to do the set up alone.. but the problem is straight after my colleagues left, the competitors of the singing idol tt night have arrived and they wanted to do their rehearsal straightaway.. but there was so much things not set up la.. the stage monitors.. the projectors.. the disco lights.. worse still, the events coordinator for this show was my boss's wife. i swear her face was so black when she realised that the setup was only halfway done.. in the end, suffered a few nasty scolding and i had to rushed to set up the rest of the equipments right after the rehearsal ended.. so anyway, the show went alright. the problem set in after the show.. i was supposed to tear down(technical term for packing up) on my own, and i was already half dead. speakers.. projectors.. the amplifier rack.. the console rack.. disco lights.. 2 big screens which i eventually needed help from the staff of the hotel to help me bring down.. and of coz.. TONS OF WIRES... i took 2+hrs non-stop to finish the tear down sia.. by then i was totally exhuasted liao.. but i thought nvm la.. after this can go home sleep liao.. =.= and i was so fucking wrong.. we have a overnight set up to do at swissotel... haix
so anyway.. started setting up at the swissotel at 3am.. we have loads of things to set up.. big trusts to b set up at both side of the stage... parcans and moving heads to be fixed onto the trusts.. speakers.. and also TONS OF WIRES... i was so tired by then i swear for the whole setup from 3am to 9am... (yes.. the set up was so big.. tt it took 6 hrs to set up finish.. ).. i was half-asleep.. can u belief tt i was so tired tt i actually dozed off several times while standing.. and while i was changing bulbs for the parcans.. there was this particular bulb which took me 20mins to change it.. becoz i dozed off again and again while turning out the old bulb.. haha.. and there was a time when my colleague talked to me, i had already dozed off 80%.. i didn noe wat my colleague was saying.. but somehow in my "dream" or hallucination.. i actually replied him something.. which i dun even know!.. it was only till my colleague walked away.. then i realised tt it was not a dream.. oh yar.. there was also several times at the backstage.. my vision was so blur tt i actually mistook the equipments as humans.. until i looked carefully... then i realised i was wrong.. there was also a time i actually mistook a stack of chairs as a human.. and i actually said excuse me when i wanted to walk past it..
haix.. in my 5 months of part-timing at this company.. i have nv worked non-stop for 3 days sia. the most was 2 days.. and though it's just a day apart between 2 days and 3 days.. the energy usage is a great great difference..
in the end.. after the fashion show ended.. (oh yar.. i saw the ben yeo from chnl u doing a special appearance modelling along with some other stars..) .. we teared down non-stop again.. from 6pm to 9pm.. after hauling all the equipments back to the office by a rented big truck, we unpacked the equipments and went for supper, before going home at 2am..
and the reason why i'm here blogging away.. its becoz i woke up at 11am.. where my first lecture starts from 10-12.. so i have no choice but to slack now lor:p going to np for the rest of the lectures from 2pm onwards..
and now my whole body is aching.. kk.. gtg.. cya
