Day at Work 5

Moto-Ferrari Event
This has got to be my worst experience thus far...

22 May 2008
On-site @ ComCenter for site measurement... I had to turn this tiny little space into an event site that can house 80 people, a stage, and an area for light refreshment... must have aircon some more...
5 June 2008
on-site @ ComCenter again to supervise the tentage setting up (I tell you, those guys are professionals... they had the whole exterior structure up in less than an hour...)

laying the interior... carpeting and curtains...
the stage structure...
and its done~ a 16' x 8' stage... (ACCORDING to CLIENT's APPROVAL... which subsequently, 2 hours before the setup, they last minute wanted the stage to be smaller... so they have MORE space for the guest... ; they wanted 16' x 6'... just 2' lesser stage space... thats less than a meter space more for guests... how useful...)

then the swing door...
and laying out the chairs... (initially was 80 chairs... of which Client last minute wanted just 20 chairs... and asks for Bistro Tables and stools instead... how nice~)
6 June 2008
Now's for my productions crew to set up the banners and backdrop...
and some last minute touch ups...
07 June 2008
Day of the event itself... the visual display ppl arrived early to set things up...
and the "oh-so-last-minute" presentation -rehearsal... (no eyes to see...)
Here's 1 hour before the start-of-event... everything was fine... except for the rainy weather the whole morning.... Client was lamenting, amid happily, that the aircon was too cold and the airflow was so shiok... and the lights were too dark...then the event starts... the guest poured in... (client planned for 80 seated guests, but invited 120 instead... so naturally, that whole freaking tentage was SO~ crowded...)... and the Red-Hot Ferrari-girls come out to promo their phones... (gosh... I wun say they're pretty... no eyes see)
then the worst things happen... the aircon suddenly turned warm... (dunno which smart-ass went to meddle with the controls outside.... but apparantly screwed up the temperature...)... and client complainted airflow was too strong... (when they could have told me earlier)... and then client complaint the lights are too bright for their presentation slides.... (how nice~!)
so~ out in the rain... I had to open up this pretty dangerous-looking circuit breaker... and meddle with the ELECTRIC points with WET hands.... to figure out which lights switches off the lights inside... and being careful not to shut down the the audio-system inside prematurely, or even the aircon... (I was cursing under my breath... honestly)...Next, the guests break for refreshments, and headed over the the F1-Simulator tentage beside... (thank goodness!)

then the VIP arrived... Eunice Olsen... she endorses the Moto-Ferrari Handphone... came here to try out the F1 Simulator... (I dun understand whats the big hoo-har over her...) ...
(oh the short -haired girl in the jacket's call Angeline... she's the 大姐大 of the F1-Simulator machine... You'll definately see her whenever there's the F1 Simulator machine around...)
This scene is like so fake.... fake... fake ...... (think scripted dialog) (no eyes see)
Finally... as the guests slowly left...
I have some time to myself to check out that F1 Simulator~ keke
this thing moves left right forward and backwards... jerking as you crash into turns and corners...
Next was my turn to check out the Simulator! Hop in and snap a picture of the steering wheels... I was like "wow...." BUT, those are just dummy buttons... no functions at all... (=___=)
pretty deep cockpit ya noe... getting in and out's not easy...
