Yes, it’s work work work. Mann.. I think i have become a workaholic since last thursday. And yess, that explains why I’m Missing In Action online for days. 
Remember the last few posts away, I wrote that I’m working for this event management job, and that last assignment was Lancer Evo X roadshow teardown? That’s right, I’ve been working for this event management company, Showtec, for this concert event, performed by Helloween, a heavy metal band since 1980s, @ Fort Canning Park.
Seriously, after you guys see the below pictures, you’ll know that setting up a concert ain’t easy. The Props, the Thrusts, the Platform, the Lightings, the Speakers, the Cablings. the much hardwork put in by 1231241493 people for days to set up the whole event, and the fun we had. Friends that worked with me for this show, Cheers, and a Thank You for helping out.
21 February , Thursday
Woke up at 8.30am, met Weiloong, Thomson, Bing Huan, Ping Yi, Kenneth, Hoe Yin, Melvin, Faizal and Weiloong’s friends for work. Reached Fort Canning Park @ 10.10am and today’s task is to built the thrusts. Let the pictures do the talking
Yes, Above are the Thrusts im talking about, the stands for the lighting and platform.
this is what i called, Eye Power.
Fascinating, isn’t it?
The inside, after setting up the Tent
and its done for the day with our hardwork!
Time past fast, and its night soon. Ended work @ 7.00pm, straight 9 hours of Manual labour, the sweats we sweated, the fun we had. haha.
Up at Fort Canning Centre, isn’t it nice?
Its just another day for me @ work.
22 February , Friday
this morning is fierce, cos 4 of us, Weilong, BingHuan, Kenneth & Me were told to come down early, to load the stuffs in the lorry, before heading to Fort Canning. Woke up at 7.30am, and left home at 8.15am. We were given $50 dollars to take cab down, and so we made full use of it.
Cab started with Kenneth house @ Yishun, to Ben’s house @ Admiralty, and to Weiloong’s house & Bing’s house @ Marsiling . Hoho. When we reached the store @ Tuas, the cab fee is a massive $46.50
Inside the Factory, Store.
Looks Familiar? seen it somewhere? i do.
The Lorry Came, and the Stuffs we loaded into it.
And so, we tag along the lorry to Jurong East, where they unload some of the stuffs first, before driving us to Fort Canning.
Back at the lorry.
And yes, my damn buddy of all times, mahjong, soccer, food, work > Weiloong.
Under the big bright Sun, we stood out.
After the shaky ride at the lorry back to Fort Canning, this is what I see. Everything almost up. The Lightings the cablings.
a nice smile from bing
Can you see the freaking amount of cables needed to lay a concert? the power supplies, the lightings, the effects etc.
the Stuffs needed to carry up the hill
Another day @ work for me. the result of our hardworks after 2 day. Ready for concert this time round.
and after work, me and Weiloong were given a task to do. To guard the whole concert area from 9pm to 9am til our supervisor comes in, 12 hours of guarding for $80 cash + Cab fee. People, it ain’t an easy job. To alot on msn, i’ve expressed my fear for this job, cos we werent told of the job scope til at 9pm me and weiloong came in.
For your information, Fort Canning is the most historic part of Singapore. The Fort was named in 1861 in the honor of Viscount Charles John Canning, the first Viceroy of India. The hill underwent several name changes. The Malays called it Bukit Larangan (Forbidden Hill) for several possible reasons. (1) it reputedly contains the tomb or keramat of Sultan Iskandar Shah, the Malay ruler of the Kingdom of Singapura, who is said to have forbidden ordinary people to come to the hill because his concubines and wives used to bath at a spring there. (2) the Malays were fearful of climbing the hill as they thought the palace of their ancestor kings had once stood there. (3) the site had sightings of fabled lion for which Sri Tri Buana, ruler of Temasek, later named the island Singapura (Lion City). (4) besides the fabled lion, the Malays believed that the hill is haunted by many other ghosts and spirits.
The park walls are made up of tombstones and Fort Canning Park was once a graveyard for some 600 Christian grave. This used to be the old Christian Cemetery until 1865. The only graves left are at the far end of the Green (near Drama Centre). Those tombstones that were removed were set into the wall surrounding Fort Canning Green.

Its a creepy night at Fort Canning Park, i swear. .
23 February , Saturday
Yes, during the night @ Fort Canning Park, i do catch a bit of wink here and there. And after the breakfast @ Marsiling Market, i reached home @ around 11pm. As I have work @ D Link, i couldn’t sleep too 
Slacked for awhile at home, and met Jelly to work at 1 plus.
Today’s @ Dlink was great, sales was extremely good, Sold like 13 products for DLink, with 6 routers
Anyway, lunch was with Jelly @ Marina Square. Thou the walk from Funan to Marina Square, but its worth walk and time to just have a meal with her (:
Our foodcourt Korean Meals
My BBQ Beef & Chicken Set
Her Omelette Fried Rice
our Dim Sums ~
anyway, at night after work, met Jelly back home again. Was really happy, that 3 times before/after/in between work, I’m glad to see her. (=
23 February , Sunday
Woke up super late for work at Funan today, went to work @ 3pm . WoW ~ haha. Work was supposed to be at 12pm, but in the end i went @ 3pm. Really, i’m really tired after the massive work we been doing lah. haha. pardon me, at least i make an effort down to work yah? =D
anyway, after work @ D Link, the tearing down of the concert is to be done. Reached Fort Canning Park at around 9+, when me and Louis went racquet around the area to find a place where we can view the concert for Free, just for the sake of it, cos the Concert is supposed to be paid per entry @ $98.
heres a view down from Fort Canning Centre.
Tearing down is really easy, took like 3 hours for everything to be teared down, and as me , thomson, weiloong & Bing live @ Woodlands, the 4 of us had to travel with the lorry back to store @ Store to unload everything. Pretty just waited there for lorries, and did unloading til 4+ , when we cabbed home.
It was really a hardship job to work for, but, im feeling stronger every time i worked. .
And thats for the whole weekend i went mia.
Next job event on Wednesday to Friday, and i hoped its not so fierce this time round .. Saturday & Sunday @ D-Link as usual. .
Good nite, World.
