My Life As A PA Person
Monday, August 28th, 2006
Recently, our church i.e Hope Of God Serdang held a varsity camp where all the students are encourage to bring along some juniors. Me, aiyoyo!!! Tak da bring one junior because I was pretty busy the weeks b4 the camp. I didn’t really go 4 any formal invitations or visitations. My one and only contact bailed on me and to be honest, I was pretty disappointed but anyway, I made it to to the camp even though my Immunology paper is on the coming Monday. Praise the Lord!!!
Back to the main topic i.e my life as a PA person. Never have I thought that the life of a PA person could be so hectic and tough. The working hours were pretty darn long and stressful. The first day of my official duty as PA person started on the 25th of August, the day b4 our Varsity Camp 2006. We arrived at Dusun Eco, Pahang around 8.30pm and we had our dinner there. Eric taught us how to connect all the musical instruments including the speakers to the amplifier and the mixer. We finished around 12 something and went to bed by then. I slept at around 2am because I had to do a little bit of studying prior to my mid-term exams. Mana tahu, Joyce came in around 2.20am and told me that I still had 40 more minutes to sleep. Thanx Joyce!!!
Woke up at 3.00am and started moving the PA system up to Dataran Rimba. OMG!!! The speaker weighs a ton!!! It took 4 of us to shift it to Dataran Rimba and to make things worse, the path to that place is very steep. We ‘took 5′ for more than 3 times!!! The task really took my breathe away. Wahahaha!!! We went back to bed at around 4.30am and woke up at 6.00am for the final set up. I think I had around 2 hours of sleep only. Waloueh I was soo…… tired the entire day!!! My next duty slot was at 1 in the afternoon and my final duty slot was being replaced by the other PA members.
To sum things up, the PA team is the one who has to be there the earliest and the leave the place the latest. First to come and last to leave!!! Working hours are pretty tough especially during the set up and sound check procedures. Anyway, I’ve gain a lot through this entire process and all the other PA members were very supportive towards me. Thanx Guys!!!
