Today wake up early for duty. I feel so sick. I reach school at 6.45a.m. I noticed Mr Jaya is absent and Pn Tan is confused and clumsy with all her keys. She forgot where she put her keys. It's okay. Lets wait then. Pn Tan fell sick since yesterday. Mr Jaya also fell sick. He's on his MC. At 7, we started our duty. We set-up everything as usual but it is normal for me. We're no longer using Dynamax Amp but we're using emix. I worry I might make a mistake in my work. So I took many precautions. I did so many testing for music and microphone. Everything went well in the assembly but the "Negaraku" song has made some delay for a few seconds. What is that suppose to be? I thought there's no problem with it? After assembly, while we're keeping our equipments, Mr Lim stormed in and started yelling at us. All of us were stunned. His words do sometimes demotivated me. Like this "What are you all bunch of bastards doing early in the morning? For me, assembly is the most important thing and you ruin the whole assembly!! No one is singing the national anthem. What are you guys doing? Can you tell me?" I told him, we just found out there's some delay when the national anthem is played and we're not familiar yet with the new amplifier. He said again "I can do better than you guys! You hear that? I can do better than you! I've my own theatre system at home!" I was stunned and so as others at that time. "Give me the keys and I'll test it" I'll give him the keys and I head for class. I was thinking and thinking. What could possibly made me come to this situation? Argh.... I was so sick, it feels like suffocating as I begin to think what is wrong with the new system till I found out that the usage of the mic by the Head Prefect affects the whole system. You gonna pay for it, Head Prefect. After school, I rushed for a function set-up at the same place also for a meeting for all Sixth Form Council. Later, I went back and teach the juniors about all the items and its usage. And most interesting part, I explain about what and the uses of DI box! XD. And later I give a test on setting up Technic-Dynamax set-up. They can actually pass but....... Too many cooks spoil the booth. 5 minutes is allocated for set up and 5 minutes to tidy up the wires. For a professional, you'll need only 8 minutes in total. XD. They failed the test. After that, we sign out from our duty and we head home. After nap, arghh! Practice and training! Grr. Train until 6. Gwah! 2 hours. So sleepy. Tired. Later still got Accounts class in Cekap. Gwah! The Lord with always be around and endure every obstacle. XD. K. That's all.
