Woken from the dead...

I didn't know what to expect initially. Offered to help out as a spare pair of hands. Turned out to be lighting board op for the show. Ian was around also, and he did up a simple rig from whatever's hanging. Seriously speaking, I've pretty much lost my touch. Hence I would need to tech more with such shows. :)


Not sure what's the concept behind the control room design.

1st, the ridiculous glass windows keeps reflecting control room lights when you are looking at the rig outside. Sometimes when you get engrossed, you'll realised that the control room down lights magically appears outside.

2nd, the stupid structure pipe that runs round the whole room horizontally, is effective blocking my line of sight to the stage.

One last complain is not about the room, but whenever I bump the channels/subs, there seems like a 2-second fade-in. Checked dimmer profile on the ETC Express, seems to be linear. Dimmer module can't be found, not sure where is it. I'll need to check in with the gang at work.

Only after the 2nd band, when I was bored and decided to take this shot, I just realised... It's a 5-hour show !!!!!!!!! Now is to decide whether this statement is a complain or content?

PS: Anyone interested in starting a blog, please avoid using this blogspot. The text formating is a bitch.
  • Settings keeps changing.
  • Adding pictures or links sometimes adds extra lines for you.
  • Certain lines are of different heights even though it was added for you somehow.
  • Until now they are still refusing the power of youtube, and no provisions for embeding youtube videos for html-code-dummies like myself.
In short, this sucks!

Yet another chapter...


Well... 2007's the craziest year ever! Never have I experienced so much before in just a year. And I'm loving the end of this wonderful chapter. I'll defintely remember this for life. Since the death of activity here for the past 2 months, here's a lil' peek at what happened for the past 2 months. Nothing but work, work, and more work... Hahaha... :) I'm loving it. Cheers to the next chapter!


Happy New Year
~ABBA~

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are,
me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
Its the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Nows the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we dont we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks hell be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing hes astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we dont we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
Its the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what well find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we dont we might as well lay down and die
You and I
