f1 is 90% done, im up at this unearthly hour, smiling to myself despite feeling the lethargy trying hard to bring me down :/
i just came home after a 3 day fight at the f1 event site. artiste management isn't easy, as i saw from the faces of the liasion officers of backstreet boys and chaka khan.
im fortunate.
i got my magicians, who are great, amazing, and really very very very nice people. they dont demand for this and that, they are really very self-help and all i gotta do is ensure i get them from one point to another. they dont even mind the comfort factor. when i arrange for a buggy to take them from one place to another, they ask if it's near enough to walk. cos if it is, they'd walk.
thats how nice they are.
and wanting to offer me a sandwich off the artiste hospitality area cos i didnt have time to eat dinner, volunteering to walk in on their own to lessen my load having to travel to and fro within a very very packed schedule, and so on, and so on.
i like it especially when they show me magic, whether it's kien or alex. because they're both so humorous and i find their style of magic very attractive, whereby they can really capture your attention. and they never fail to make me laugh or smile, seriously.
like what nelly said "they're not paid to show you magic you know". yea, i know. and thats why i always felt i never did enough for them.
but today, or rather, yesterday since it's already past midnight now, their reply to my parting message for this f1 event made me happy, really. like really really happy. cos i know i put in my best for them. despite the many screw ups, buggies gone missing, missing the shuttle bus, rushing from point A to B like some mad people, sweating under the humid weather, etc etc etc. i know i did my best, really. and they know it.
f1 was really really tough. but i enjoyed myself, because i had my magicians.
everyday, all i looked forward to was the time alex would arrive (he's always the first to arrive) and always hope for time to stop when kien arrives (he's always the last to arrive due to his busy schedule).
even just the simple task of helping them to take pictures while they roved was something which i enjoyed, alot. seeing the smiles on the audiences' faces and all, seeing the magicians' satisfied faces after drawing a crowd to their act etc etc, i always felt like im part of it.
i think in my mind, i knew what i had to accomplish for them was beyond my job scope, which was that to just ensure they received good hospitality from the hospitality crew, and that they got from one point to another, and they performed and went off.
but i knew i had to do things to the end. like providing the service myself rather than wait for the hospi crew, ensuring best comfort from point A to B, and even things like walking with kien to the lift lobby to get his car. i dont know why, i feel very very very attached to them, even though it's just for 3 short days and like a total of 6-8 hours of interaction in total only.
huifang is a girl, who likes to get fascinated by magic, who doesnt have the talent and ability to learn magic, but just simply loves magic.
it's a tiring 3 days, but 3 days well-spent.
to think i felt -ve being assigned as a minder,
bring assigned to magicians.
but today, let me tell you,
HUIFANG LOVES BEING A LIASION OFFICER FOR THE MAGICIANS :D
i told of my glory at 3:49 am
