BOH 80th Anniversary
::18 May 2009::
Yea, right after the exhausted day, I and darling went for another job in the next morning! it was about event crew! It was a simple and easy day.
Essentially, BOH was having its 80th anniversary in Zoo Negara, Ampang. So it handed over it's anniversary to an event company to plan and organize the entire program! The event company had set up a carnival in the center of Zoo, not that huge carnival it was just a small private function.
In the carnival, certain Malaysia significant foods and games were set every nook and corner. Games such as wau, gasing, batik, guli, congkak, and batu seremban. The program was ran by having competition of 80 groups formed by 4 contestants in a group, so sum up there were 320 contestants. On the day, I was positioned at registration/ redemption counter with another friend name Lilian. My task was to ensure the canditates register for themselves and sign up for the "Death or Alive Agreement" which I called it 生死状. It was actually the terms & conditions by BOH stated that they will not hold any responsibility and bla bla bla.. While doing registration, the contestants were asked to write down all his/her members' name and IC. As you can imagine, there were 4 in a group, so each of them need to write down their name and IC is very troublesome and kill time. Sumore we had 80 groups to handle and the worst thing was Malays often have a long name so they were foced to fit their freaking long name into the small colomn (around 6cm). Yet, the small column need to fit in the name and IC as well. Ohh.. gosh, i dun understand why the person who prepared the registration list can be so "S.M.A.R.T"! Wasted ppl's energy only. Since the name is there why not he/she (the person who prepared for the list) put in all the details included name and IC!!! Aiks, maybe they were too busy till neglected those trivial matter. But, i think this kind of small matters sometimes do make a great difference. Perhaps it could save up more energy and time resources.
Okie, so after the registration thingy, my second task was still stand at the same place and waiting ppl to come for redemption. There were free goodie bag given out, inside a goodie bag got 3 can drink/ package drink, 1 can of BOH tea leaves, a BOH cup, and a BOH towel FOR EACH GROUP. AIyar, cant blame the people for being unsatisfy 不爽, a 80 years historical tea corparate company could only provide ppl with those 5 freebies. SO KIAM SIAP la. (stingy) Then around 3pm, the finale began and here was my last task for being a coordinator. What i did is just help prepare and clean up the tools before and aftar game. So it was kinda easy job. Then, around 3.30pm the event was ended and so the champion got 30,000 cash!!! After all the clean up, it was about 4pm and it started rain, so I and my darling got our straw mat as shelter and head to the car park.
Last but not least, i would say that working in this field i enjoy very much! Hopefully in the future i could get my courier link up with event too!! It is also my pleasure getting know new friends.. perhaps if the friendship could last it would be even greater!
