why are events so like "dat"
was having a chat with lip this morning about how unmanageable events are. i really have no fucking idea how event companies pull off such stunts everyday. events are not like creative or media campaigns where everything planned for usually turns out safe. the events done in-house are probably chicken feet (in local lingo) in the eyes of professional event companies. but look, we are so not in their league as these are by-the-way favours done to implement cost -saving measures on outsourcing simple routine gatherings.events like these give me anxiety attacks every moment of the day until it's finally over the morning after... cos everything that can possibly go WRONG will go WRONG.
flow not good lar
not enuff storage space lar
materials agreed upon in writing turns out different in reality lar
not enough powerpoints lar
not enough power must bring extra DB in case location trip lar
pouring cats when it's outdoors
not enough parking space lar
not enough space for backdrop lar
not enough personal space for VIP to rest lar
not enough money for decor and STILL must decorate lar
not enough time to seek approvals on everything lar
last minute event extension by two hours and don't want to pay surcharges lar
and the last thing i need is...
models and emcee fall sick and substitute with some sub standard peabrain lar (dun laugh, it happened before and i so wanted to kill the sub emcee)
cancel event cos someone at the top decided not to do any event at the last hour lar
*pray hard*

oh gosh. like i said, my "simple" events are easy peasy compared to the larger scaled ones like exhibitions and contructions! i cannot imagine the stress you face everyday... *heh* your kid's adorable!

Yeah, Santanu's kid daughter is quite an impish angel, isn't she?
*smacks forehead*
I do, of course, mean that in best, non-predatory, sort of way.
*shuts up now*
