day 2 of Singapore Open.. and it's really killing me... i'm not even handling press side and the participants... just money... results... registration... things like the tally cards... distribution of the stickers, t-shirts... i reached home at 2130 hrs today... i left the house this morning ard 0830 hrs... even though my dad sent me... we took freaking long because of the traffic jams... but truly... was really a frustrating day... trying to deal with a bug in the scoring program... it not doing things i want it to do... calling/smsing Alex from Sports Club regarding the SPPP application for NUS Champs... working out the accounts... mindboggling when you dont have accounting background... thinking of how to get money out... when i'm not recognized yet by the bank as the official treasurer... trying to deal with HKG's protests/redress and requests for the results... churning out the correct set of results to be forwarded to the press every evening by 7pm... having a near argument about DNS and DNF... and having someone tell me i was wrong in following the other guy's instructions... it's driving me nuts... PEANUTS! it was driving me nuts really... especially when i was supposed to do subject registration... and the internet connection at PF really sucks... called the guy countless of times... tried to hint to him to pick me up from PF... to no avail... trudged home on 3 buses... was napping in bus 27.. only to be awoken by Linc about the NUS Champs budget that i edited last nite... saw a young couple on the green seats in front of me... blatantly ignoring the old ladies standing beside them... what is the world coming to, really? after a terrible day... i really wanted to scold them... after i stood up to give up my seat.... but i didnt la... din want to risk a black eye... it's a sad sight really... to see that the bulk of the people behind the Singapore Open being the old ah peks... maybe with the exception of the few like wh and he... still going strong yes... but it just occurred to me... what will become of BSAS? of windsurfing in Singapore? oh yes... they surf regularly... good for them... but who's looking at the bigger picture? i hate going through events feeling like that... it's nice when everyone works hard together for a desired end result... one that makes you feel good... even if you go without sleep... running ard the whole day... you feel that it's worth every bit... the guy is right about not expecting so much from people... we all have our own priorities.. and it differs from person to person... but please stop badmouthing associations like Boardsailing... although it doesnt look it... we're really working very hard... for no compensation at all... i have the eye bags/rings to vouch for me... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:23 --Link to Post |
