Finally I have a the time to fully rest my body. I am having my 3 days off now due to no major event happens during these 3 days so we managed to get to rest.
Here is the summary of the week.
Day 2 (15/09)
Working Hour: 10am-11pm
First, I followed George to Ngee Ann Poly to set up a 12 inch x 9 inch projector screen at Convention Centre. We did a set up at Ritz Carlton for a company award ceremony, The Entrepreneur of The Year. We started the setup around 7pm due to the delay by the previous event that occupying the venue. That is the first time for us to do set up for a large event. More than 20 moving lights, 6 profiles, 4 pairs of speaker including subwoofer units were been utilised for the event. The company mobilised 3 big trucks for this event but they said this is just considered as medium scale of event set up. I can't wait for take part of large scale of event set up. I am looking forward to that. We were helping them until 11pm because we want to catch the last train.
Day 3 (16/09)
Working Hour: 10am-3am
Me and Nigel were been ordered to report to the office on 10am meanwhile the girls need to report to the Ritz Carlton for helping them meanwhile can learn about what are they doing during rehearsal.
We went to Swiss Hotel to do a set up for the conference. It is a partnership signing event in between 2 parties, Youth Olympic 2010 with Canon. It is not a very big scale set up but this time we had the chance to take part more in doing set up, running the cables and help to do the connection for the equipments. I did for video part. We did the set up on 12pm and teardown on 4.30pm. After we complete the teardown, we stayed at office for awhile, taking some rest for preparing for midnight strike at Ritz Carlton.
This is the first time we do until midnight. We helped to do teardown. I followed Eng Meng and he taught me what I should do during teardown. I noticed that everyone actually know their rules very well and they will helping each other once they complete their jobs. I found that is good and it helps to faster the process and we can manage to get back earlier. After teardown, we need to load all the flight cases onto the trucks and send back to office. We left around 3am.
Day 4 (16/09)
Working Hour: 1pm-7pm
Due to the late night strike yesterday, we been told that we only need to report on 1pm. Not many event need to do on the day so Raymond gave us a briefing about lighting equipment and what is important for setting up an events. After that I followed Eng Meng to Hilton Singapore to do a small set up for a product launching event. It was running by a indian company, which is called Kingfisher. This time I need to follow the order from Eng Meng to complete the tasks, such as rigging lights, running cable, and setting up the console. I feel that I can handle it with more confident now. Thanks to Eng Ming.
Day 5 (17/09)
Working Hour: 10am-3am
We were doing some housekeeping work such as cleaning the equipment, changing the name tags and rearrange the flight cases during the first few hours of working. In the afternoon, me and Nigel followed Raymond go back to Ngee Ann Poly to collect the projector screen. We did a set up for HTC roadshow at Plaza Singapura Atrium on 11pm. It was quite a medium scale of set up. It includes 8 Parcans, 2 pairs of speakers, a dimmer rack and audio mixer. After the set up, we went to Boat Quay to help the others to do the teardown. During the loading up the flight cases to the truck, I accidentally hurt Roy's toe. I am really sorry about that. Work safely is very important. I will learn from mistake....
Now I am facing the final part of getting my diploma, industry attachment, which is I think that is the hardest part to complete my course.
However, due to many reasons, I was been arranged to attach to event production company, Trio A.V. This field is not I really interested in but I think now is the good chance for me to explore it. Maybe I will like it after that?? Nothing is impossible.
Day 1 (14/09)
Working Hour: 10am - 6pm
Today is the first day of work. Last night i tried to figure out how to go to the office which is located at Focus One, somewhere of Ubi. Unfortunately there is no straight bus for me to go from Clementi. The only fastest way for me to get to work is take train then bus. The journey is approximately 1 hour.
I reached the office slightly later than Nigel, Gab and Yun Wei. We were reporting to our liaison officer, Mr Alvinson Yap. He is an accountancy manager. We had a briefing session by him to talk about the operation about the company. Just right after the briefing, a few colleagues were going out for doing a projector screen set up at Suntec and Alvinson suggested 2 of us can follow them to have a look about the set up. Me and Gab were followed them.
Because we are new to the company, basically we were not sure what we should do at there so we just stand aside to see how they do the set up. Of course we did help them to do some simple jobs like help to move around the scaffold, pushing the fly cases to the venue and observe what were they doing at the moment.
Basically We didn't do much on monday and we managed to get back home on 6pm. What a great start of the attachment but this is just the beginning.
The first day pictures are with Gab so I need to wait for her to send me the pictures. I will include the pictures once I get it.

Finally, I am considered a step behind to complete my diploma and what I left now is a 6 month attachment. Currently I haven't confirm which company will I attach to but hopefully will toward more technical side.
So because of the attachment, what I have now is just a short 2 weeks holiday instead of 8 weeks. Basically, I will take more rest during this period and of course, will looking for more good food to eat.
Last 2 days ago, my Singapore classmates came to JB to relax and looking for nice food. Since Mr Joel was the first to come, so I brought him to eat quite a lot of food on the first day, including mi hun gue, nando's and nasi lemak with ayam goreng. Day 2, the rest of the people including syazwan, desmond, andrew, gab, wan yee, meng ting, eng teck and izwan reached in City Square around 2pm due to some issue(late, obviously...), I brought them to Danga City Mall to enjoy some indoor games, such as pool, bowling, karaoke and archery. This was the first time I shoot about 40 arrows. It is not easy to shoot accurately but it is fun.
Someone was lost and drove her car to danga bay. I spent around 30 mins to lead her back to the shopping mall. She is still quite new on driving so I understand and didn't give too much pressure on her. But I gave one of my first time to her which is hogging the Skudai road by driving 50kmph. That was ridiculous and embarrassing.
So after the indoor games session, I brought them to Nusa Bestari 2 to enjoy a nice Malay cuisine. Since for quite a lot of reasons, I suggested to ask Eason to drive her car so we can make the journey safer and faster. After Tom Yum session, we introduced good cendol and ice kacang to them. They really been impressed by the dessert there I guess.
Day 3, which was yesterday, we went to watch G.I Joe at City Square. It was quite a impressive movie in the aspect of visual effect and computer graphic. The technology showed by the movie looks very realistic and not way too far ahead from now.
That is something we just found out yesterday. If you want to watch movie in JB and you have internet connection. Here have a very fast and convenience way to get the movie ticket without queuing at the ticket counter. The solution is book the ticket online. You won't need to pay a single cent of money to book the ticket. You only require to go down to collect the ticket one hour before the show start. What a great service provided by Cathay Malaysia.

Well, perhaps around these 2 months I won't be fancy about the donuts because when you experience the feeling that 24 donuts were putting in front of you and you need to finish all of them, it is harder than u might think...
That was the only day I been spoiled by the choices of donut... Please don't ask me to eat donut within these 2 months. I need to take a break...
Anyway, thanks for all my friends who came for my birthday party. Thanks for the basketball from zhou, joo and the rest. Thanks for the t-shirt from jing and shin. Thanks for the wallet from my mum...
And thanks for promoting me to the waitresses there... You were putting me into such a embarrassing position... haha...
Here is the pirtures...
The serving speed was quite slow... I was quite hungry at the moment...
Ok, was spoiling by the choices of donut... welcome me to 20 with 20 donuts....
Happy Birthday to me.... So weird to sing this... still prefer to sing "Happy birthday to you"...
Donuts with candles... no need to mention how old am I now....
Saving me by sharing the donuts... including the waitresses there....Thanks for the celebration. It was too bad that I can't celebrate my birthday with my sister and father...
Before the actual of my birthday, I was celebrating my birthday with my classmates at my school hostel by having a steamboat session. Will upload once I get the photo from my friend.
Thanks for everything and welcome me to 20. Time to think about how to move on to the future that I want.

As a soccer fan, especially for EPL fans, the recent big news is Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid. The transfer fee is the top of the world now. Sounds unbelievable? His monthly salary is 33 times higher than President of Germany.
This is the problem of soccer world nowadays. Money can buy every player you like but will they understand that champion can't be bought by money, no matter how much you spend. That is why sometime I prefer NBA rather than soccer. The Salary Cap is the thing should introduce to soccer world.
So how well he can play and perform his magic in spanish league? Who knows. We will see...
But how big the impact for Manchester United when they lose a good player. The good player is meant to them. Maybe it is a good thing for Rooney. Now he can get back to his most familiar position.
A Michael Owen can replace CR and Tevez? Many of MU fans are doubt on Ferguson's decision but actually I think it is quite a great deal. No need to spend a single cent and he got such a good player, if he don't get injure so easily.
Really look forward for this coming new season. Will Liverpool become the champion? Will the dynasty of MU fall? Will Arsenal produce more and more great young players? Will Chelsea become the champion with new coach? Will Manchester City can mess up the Big Four?
No matter what, the only thing I know so far is the new season of EPL will start on 15th August.

Finally, after a bunch of events and a lot of assignments, I am currently enjoying my not so relaxing holiday. Why it is not so relaxing? Because assignments still need to prepare for the school reopen. Mixing, live event, paperworks.... it is just like never ending...
But I did really rest more and eat more during this holiday. This is my main intention for the term break.
Forgot to mention, I watched Monster Vs Alien in 3D cinema. The experience is very interesting and the effect is good. But I think I won't go for another 3D movie unless the technology can improve until I can get rid of the colour spectacles. When there is a stationary scene, the 3D effect is excellent but when there is a movement scene, what I can see is blur image. That's all. It was a pretty nice movie. It was funny, especially BOB. I think if the movie without this character, it will become quite boring.
Transformer 2 and Ice Age 3 are coming soon. CAN'T MISS IT....

Finally, I manage to get some free time to relax myself after a bunch of events and assignments. So I decided to give a summary about what has I done so far in this 5 weeks of my final year semester.
First of all, we had been told by our lecturers, Mr Isaac and Mr Lau that we need to come out 2 projects before end of the semester. One is for studio recording and another one is live events. For the studio recording part, thanks to Joel, he found a band is performing at a bar. So we decided to do a live recording and I believe that it will be very interesting and the performance of the band is good. We scheduled the recording on next Saturday. Live sound project is still searching under progress but it might be interesting.
Last week, we organised a live sound event. It was a karaoke competition and it called "Soul of Entertainment". The event was successful and we really did a great job. I was really enjoying to work with my classmates. This was the first time we really did a live event and I realised that is not a easy job.
Our mixer, SoundCraft GB2.
Setting up the mixer...
Mic stand... waiting to set up...
One of the main role, our JBL pasif speakers with subwoofer, mid range and high range.
Monitoring speaker, I think is JBL also.
So we stayed at campus because we had to do the rehearsal and performance in school. We finished the preparation on the first day and the strike on the second day, both day were busying until 11pm. So we were staying at school. We stayed at the place called LOFT. It was a great place. Fully air conditioned, wireless ready, fridge, sofa, bed and toilets. There is even much better than the place I am staying in Singapore.
Living Room....
Cool wireless router...
Kitchen...
Toilet...
Here is the boring part, for stage management module, I don't know why we need to watch 5 events for no reason because we don't even know what we need to do for these events. I have nothing to comment about the lecturer. We need to tell her what we observed every week. What a boring and nonsense lesson....
Now come to the worst part, I am having 2 Interdisciplinary Studies modules in this semester. One is Event communication and another one is World Issue: Singapore Perspective. Both of the modules are driving me crazy. I hate to write in english but these modules need to do a lot of writing assignments.
Actually, I didn't really feel i did many things in this 5 weeks and common test is coming soon. I was sick recently and I lost my voice for no reason.
I am seriously desperately hoping I will have some free time to catch some movies like X men, Star Trek, Night at the Museum and Monster vs Aliens.
I am also waiting for the releasing of new iTouch and Nokia 5730XM. I think is the time for me to change my handphone because it started to go crazy sometime, especially for the speaker. I think the connection of the speaker part started to loose. It is the sign for retirement.
Spent too much money recently as well. Don't know where is my money gone.
2 weeks never go back to JB. I am so missing my family, my mum's cook, my bed and my air cond. It is very hot here recently. Finally I can go back home tomorrow after I finish the soccer competition with my classmates.
Recently I was downloaded quite a lot of albums. I am highly recommending you to listen John Mayer's songs. He is a very good guitarist and he has a very good voice. Lady Gaga, The Fray, Ronan Keating, 3OH!3, Ciara and Beyonce also launched their latest albums recently. A korean song, it called "Nobody" also is a good song to listen. If you don't know about the song, please go to youtube to look for the music video.
