Surviving in the Event Industry

Forum on Surviving in the Event Industry. Organized by Zentrum = Kaizen + Spectrum. Sabya is Spectrum :) I was in charge to be in the program book (PB) department which i disagree since the day first. But what to do, nobody wanna replaced me. After all the leaps & bounds, ups & downs, we (naz, kak eija & me) managed to produced the PB. In the making process we have go thru alooooottt. I admit it if Prof pissed off & dissatisfied with the forewords, obj, and intro its all MY FAULT not them. I felt very bad when prof yelled at Naz when she should put blame on me. I do seek apologise personally from prof in her room at the same exact day because i felt so bad. Prof said i copied from our senior previous PB, which i did not. Yet i take it as my references. Those previous PB use the same exact forewords line by line every year. I did change here and there, so whats with the copy bulat2??? Selama ni 3 tahun berturut orang buat PB guna text yang sama, kau tak perasan pulak?? The best part is i dont even know that our event is called a FORUM not DIALOGUE SESSION to make it even worsen. If she's not okay with that, FINE. Admit it, my fault. I shud not follow the senior culture in the first place. Then here comes my second draft, she correct it again. I fixed it for the third draft, still an error. Then comes the fourth, fifth, sixth, & seventh draft. For god sake, she actually highliting her own errors over and over again, because she is the only one who change my draft!! Paling tak tahan bila prof suruh ubah design here and there, tana background ni, nak kecikkan buku ni, committee dr 8 page squeeze jd 3 page je, tana font ni, tana kaler ni, yada yada... Hello design is not an easy task!!! Manusia suka condemn design orang, kau suka comment tapi cuba bagi kau buat tgk jadi ta??? To be honest it crushes my brittle heart into pieces that the PB cannot be ready by today due to machine problem in fssr. I came there early in the morning, ALONE just to be frustrated. Aku sampai menangis sorang2 dekat tepi longkang depan fssr tadi sbb event start pukul 2ptg, and dah pukul 12.30 tghri pon the technician is still not there to fix the machine. I felt very bad because i failed to give each n everyone of our juniors the PB. Due to all the constraints we managed to give only 4 copies of PB to each class. How i wish she did not make a fuss in the first place so that we can send the PB to the fssr earlier... I know lots of people is condemning us the PB department. You can say wutever you like, but if you are in our shoes do you think you can do better?? Tepuk dada tanya selera. Terus-terang inilah event yang aku rasa paling gagal sekali :'(

Nota kaki: Tadi prof marah aku sebab tak gantung banner hari ni. Aku ckp ta bawak. Pastu die marah2. Die ckp aku tipu die excuse kelas sebab nak pegi fssr. Ingat aku suka sgt ke nak pegi fssr tu hari2?? Da la kene parking kat menara pastu nak kne jalan 5km g fssr, naik bukit turun bukit. Da la bwk banner, bunting, kad sume sorang2... ingat tak berat ke?? Sometimes kne buat 2/3x trip ke keta sbb ta cukup tgn..Kalau aku tau die na gantung arini, mestilah aku bwk. Smlm da bwk, tp tade tempat simpan. So aku tinggalkanlah kat rumah dulu. Ta kan nak bawak kehulu-hilir. Banner, bunting, flag tu sume lagi berat dari aku. Kereta berat, makin banyaklah makan minyak. Aku tak penah claim minyak, sbb aku buat ikhlas and aku tau kalo aku claim pon mmg dorg ta kn mampu bayar. Brape kali aku pg fssr? Brape kali aku kne saman kat fssr? Brape kali aku angkat barang berat2 sume sorang2 panjat bukit fssr sbb parking gila jauh. Aku buat sume ikhlas, tapi bile jadi mcm ni, seyes aku FEDUP!!!
