its finally over.ATC 2007 was a success.
for the past few days,i've been working hard and i mean really very hard towards the big day yesterday.spent fri going around to do up the signages,and reach home 5am on sat.slept for awhile before meeting KASH whose late in the morning to get my signages and fly down to white sands.was kinda pissed cos she didn't come prepared and i freaking gotta waste time waitin for her.
spent the entire sat doing up the area i was in charge of and im really thankful for those logistic that got me the stuff i wanted.esp kelly!!!his my halus lorry ic.and thx for the nite ops getting wat i needed the most to do up my area and thanks for being the man with gary to stay overnight at halus.Halus was really a killer cause,in the day,its freaking hot without shades and at night,the place is filled with a whole company of wild dogs as well as an entire army of 'zebra' mosquitoes.ever had to go to try out the river crossing segment at 3am on sunday before the event starts to settle whatever has to be done.it was challenging and i had fun crossing the cargo net in the dark.din get to sleep at all and had to go back to event ground to get my helpers and collect my stuff before the flag off.the flow was good and im glad nothing went wrong terribly.there's so many things for me to worry abt yesterday.having to take the entire trail biking and running sector with 'wuss' was damn hard cos basically im working alone.really had a hard time esp when he went off on sat for something impt and didn't even do anything to help.promised to come back at 3am but came back next morning instead.arghx...i almost died but im glad he came back in the morning with a fren to do marshalling.but boy i was so wrong cos i keep getting bugged to change his fren's marshalling position telling mi his fren is tired and its damn hot.i just cant be bothered and the thing is i dun have enough man to shift ard.if he had so many frens and ask them down to help,this wouldn't have happened!!!being the OIC there,i had to free myself from duties and to oversee the flow.but then,i didnt have that kinda manpower and ppl who noes the place as well as i do to move around with that box of packet lunch for my helpers stuck out in the wilderness.gotta cross all those shit water areas to deliver the food to my medics and helpers.
as u noe,i've been complaining non stop for this entire event and i dun like doing this.but i realised i was so wrong.after the entire event,grace showed me this msg from a participant which really made me felt accomplished as a programmer.and looking back,i think it was a great improvement as compared to last year and everything was much organised i believe.got a couple of feedbacks from participants and i think we managed well this time round with the choke points etc.despite this,i swear im not gonna be their programmer again.its really tough to work with limited resources and being squeezed completely.programmer having to cover the job of logistic,pub etc.its really tough and we're really overwork with most of the rest doing little things.
from this event,i really see more people who i cant stand at all!what's with their attitude man.i cant believe what i heard or see.please keep ur fuck face to urself can.especially when we're joking about certain stuff and u cant take it.knn...we dun owe u a living and so what if you're a senior?dun ever think that u're an officer and u can do everything your way.everyone's shag and joking around keeps some going.certain things cant be forced and it hence we shouldn't.and dun give me that kinda of attitude that only you can see the big picture.and logistics wise,i respect you guys for doing all the saikang.but then again,if there's only 2 of you doing it alone and you complain and give attitude to others,my first question would be why didn't u guys plan the manpower carefully?no point giving this kind of attitude to ppl when u did not work to facilitate ur movement.but all in all,i still wanna thank you guys for the support but i believe there's still room for improvement on planning side.if i show attitude,u guys should noe i got damn alot to show liao lol!but all in all,i thank all my helpers and the entire com especially the log for makin it happen.
finally can take a rest liaoz...so looking forward to a good 2 weeks break now.concussed for entire day.eat sleep eat sleep movie....ahahahah...i need a good break!
*wait?hang on?indefinitely?i dunno...there's always a limit!*
