400th post: end of attachment 1

Wow... this is my 400th post... i think these 100 posts were achieved in a rather short time. as compared to the past. haha. and it marks the end of my first 6-day attachment too! :)))

Ok... I think we should all look at this attachment from a different perspective. Instead of thinking of how bad the organisers were, how bad their attitude were, how lousy were their organisational skills, how low were our pay, how we have to do all sorts of stuff, how some ppl were just so irresposible (both organisers and crew)... whatever and whatever... ok.. we should think of these.. but not in the way of just complaining and complaining... instead... think this way. If we dun like what they are doing.. we make sure that we dun make any of those mistakes when it's our turn in future.

Yes... the event might be a success... but i dun think the credits just go to the fair organisers... and reason for the fair to expand every year is not becos the galleries like working with the organisers as well... i believe if there's other choices (other comtemp art fairs)... they would have left this one... but there's no other choices! there's only one and the biggest comtemp art fair in asia. Ya.. so much for the name... and after all... there were galleries that feedback to us abt their unhappiness towards the organisers. and of cos we see the attitudes ourselves. I can't believe the fact some ppl just suckup to foreign galleries and treat local ones like shit. i hope i interpreted the person's words and tone wrongly. but i doubt so. cos the very first reaction that my friend had when we heard that person saying that was the same.

Sorry for all these unclear stuff here... can't reveal all the names... in case there's tracking down. (the power of google). Anyway... it's just like another womad that started some bitching moments abt some ppl out there. and yea.. i bitch too! erm. was unhappy with particular ppl ever since dunno when lah. but the attachment just made things worst. it's super obvious cos once everyone's behind.. the bitching starts.

Anyway... u can say i'm stupid or silly... but i didn't feel anything offensive towards myself throughout the whole 6 days. The fact that my friends pointed out that i was treated rudely made me surprised! cos i didn't felt so. even after they mentioned. i guess i just didn't take all those remarks seriously. and i seriously think that i'm that kind of person who would try to get out of trouble by smiling the matter off.. or just keep quiet.

Anyhows.. i would like to thank the organisation for deciding to increase our pay by $10 per day. thou it's still not a lot... it's enough to cover my expenses for that few days plus the 2bags i bought at samsonite fair. haha! and i think there's still a bit of leftovers. :) Thankfully. erm. wondering if i should return the money to dad. since he paid for the bags first.

HAix... really tired. shall continue tmr. bye.
