My Event Nightmare

My event finally ended yesterday!! After packing over 20 boxes of equipment… I nearly died of exhaustion and heart attack. The event starts on the 21st and other companies ( we shared the booth with 6 other companies) were there on Sun/Mon to set up. My boss told me “Ours is simple…we just power up when we reach there.” and told me to arrange the forwarder to come on Tue afternoon (20th) to collect the equipment from the office. Guess what? by time the engineer fixed the machines n the forwarder who waited for us while we did testing etc… we reached the event ground at a fashionably late hr- 5.30pm! And we couldn’t get the stuff to work after “powering up”. A director of another company asked me “ Why u all so late? I was worried you guys not coming u know…n I heard this place will close at 6pm!”. My heart almost fell out. Anyway, we did manage to get the equipment working and left around 9pm. The next day, some other people whom I got to know were teasing me, “ Justme, you all very cool hor. Walk in so late and fixed everything. Cool leh!” They think it’s Cool?! Sigh….

Met my Informatics friend again who was only 3 booths away and he started to bug me to introduce him to my boss. SALES pple…Zhen mah fan. Saw an ex neighbour there as well. I didn’t recognize him till I saw his name on the badge. He works in my co too?! What a small world. I think he didn’t recognize me so I ‘siam-ed’. Phew!

Overall, I got to know more people during the event and I realize I click better with people who are in the mid 20s to early 30s. They are able to make me laugh more .Hmmm. yes. im thinking of running away again.haha.

Oh. One funny thing to share..we had NTUC to display some of their goods on racks…and this weird Indian guy was asking me how much was the pack of crackers and I told him curtly “They are for displays and not for sales sir, if you want, you can buy it from NTUC ” and this old guy looked around and pointed to a deodorant on another shelf and said “ I need the spray too…can I buy it?”.. “No sir, it’s ONLY a display , you have to buy it from NTUC” He walked off with a half puzzled look. Can't he understand those are only for display? After he left, I shared this encounter with an Italian guy and he started laughing and told me once he had a show in Milan and no one bought a single thing from them but he got lots of requests regarding the nice lightings they’ve fixed. Ha.

Getting hungry now… tell u all more stuff another day. Too many things have happened.

.. Dream on..

Having dreams at night rather frequently for the past few weeks. Apart from the dream( should be nightmare) where i was stabbed , there's another pleasant dream. Guess who was my guest star appearance? hahaa..it was Edison Chen Guan Xi!! Strange huh how come he will appear in my dream? im not really into him though i have to admit he looks darn cute.hee.

I was with a production crew and suddenly i realised i was seated beside him in a round table. We were having a break and Edison was talking to me, telling me he was an introvert, blah blah... n I'm like thinking "Hey, what's wrong with him? He's suppose to be a bad boy right?" He wasn't acting like a big shot and was telling me alot of stuff and somehow I was blown away by this so cute but humble and shy kid. I know i'm in a dream( when im dreaming) but somehow it felt so real? i can't recall what happened next but im pretty sure i woke up with a smile. ha! Ok, Takeshi Kaneshiro, please please be my next guest star! ;p

Why Love is Blind

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it for the first time, virtues and vices floated around and were bored, not knowing what to do. One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered together and were more bored than ever. Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: Let's play hide and seek!

All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted: I want to count, I want to count! And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness leaned against a tree and started to count: One, two, three... As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went hiding. Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon, Reason hid in a pile of garbage. Fondness curled up between the clouds and Passion went to the center of the earth. Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake, whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.

And Madness continued to count: ... seventy nine, eighty, eighty one... By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden - except Love. For undecided as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love. Madness: ...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven... Just when Madness got to one hundred, Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid. And Madness turned around and shouted: I'm coming, I'm coming! As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first to be found, because Laziness had no energy to hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at the center of the earth.

One by one, Madness found them all - except Love. Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness: You only need to find Love, and Love is hiding in the rose bush. Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed wildly at the rose bush. Madness stabbed and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop. Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes. Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out Love's eyes with a pitch fork.

What have I done! What have I done! Madness shouted. I have left you blind! How can I repair it? And Love answered: You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do something for me, you can be my guide. And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.
