HIHI!!! It has been so long since i updated my blog.. Been working for the whole holiday season.. It was so tiring but yet meaningful.. I made alot of friends and also learned alot of things during this period of time..

My first show was a balloon show..I realized that in a show there will definitely be emergency and things not going the way that it should be going..So i learned to be sharp and flexible.. I also learned some basic balloon twisting and balloon inflation.. I also learned to be more sociable, how to communicate with different types of people, and saying the right thing at the right time, making suggestion that will help to improve the show, crowd management etc.. But most importantly, i learned how to communicate with kids, making them feel comfortable when they are talking or playing with me, transforming myself into a kid to communicate with them.. This is really a skill that requires time to master, it might seems easy, but it is not at all!! This show lasted for 13 days.. When a show is coming to an end you get very happy but at the same time you will feel really sad.. Happy because finally you have time to take a break and it means your pay is coming!!! Sad because you are going to leave a group of people that you have been working with for 13 days!! During the last show on the last day, i was not that happy after all.. But i know i got to learn how to overcome it and get used to it, because it will happen all the time!! To conclude, this crew was just amazing!!

After that Nora offered me to work for the Alvin and the Chipmunks show.. My first mascot show, i really don't know what to do for a mascot show!! During the first day, i was so blur.. But after a while, things just got easier and easier.. The toughest part of this show is when you have to carry the costumes around, it was so heavy.. Carrying this heavy costumes for a few times a day for ten days!! No joke!! In this show, i learned what to do during a mascot show, like how to wear the costumes, making sure nobody pulls their tail or hit them..I gotta watched free Alvin and the Chipmunks2, gala premiere!!During this show, i am eating popcorn everyday, i am really sick of it now!!Haha.. I also learned alot of things about SEX!! Seriously!! I have never learned so much things about sex in my life.. Imagine my colleague William and Paul in their twenties, having countless experiences and they shared all of them with me!! It was really lessons that are worthless!! But during this period of time they really taught me alot of things(too long to type), if not for their warnings and advises, i will definitely make more mistakes.. I am very fortunate to have this kind of working partners that are willing to teach all the things that they know to new people like me.. Also Nora, she treats me really good!! I mean where can i find another boss that is so wonderful like her.. Protecting me all the time, guiding me through the whole season.. Under her, i have really grown alot.. Her supervision and other people supervision in the show makes a hell lots of differences!! Thanks NORA!! :)

But i became a spendthrift.. I eat food that are expensive everyday and starts to buy things without thinking.. I had already spend half of what i earned!! OMG!! I have bought a wallet, 2 jeans, 3 shirts, spectacles, iphone and one accessorize..I think i gotta control from Jan onwards, haha!!

I always thought that i can't handle the stress in an event company.. Because it is very complicated!! But i actually can!!I have never regretted working in an event company this year!! After all the things that i did and happened during this season, i have really grown!! I did not waste my holidays!! CLAPS!!
