2weeks passed

Could you believe it. It was just last week that i had my 1st event running. Today, i went to Ellia's event. It was so massive! She had a part in designing and managing a small part of the TVB8 concert. For those who you all do not know, it is the BIG THINGE on the Bukit Bintang road and yes, it blocks the entire road! The crowd was ... huge. Well, mostly targeted at chinese people cos the concert performances were Fish Leong, Alan Tam, Hacken Lee, Energy, Hins and other Hongkie mix Taiwanie artist.

Although i did pass out less than 10 balloons and a small stack of "Hotlink-hand-waiver", i got kinda mad about the organization of the event. So i went off the event and decided to just not care about anything else. First thing first, Amy (the leader for Ellia) went on-field herself delivering balloons and the "Hotlink-hand-waiver" thinge, to me...that is so unprofessional. You are a head event manager for the love of maxis! Order people to do it! There are at least 30 sales personals that only hold file, coupons and bags standing around waiting to vulture on walkerby. I just cant stand her...not only she always hand in late-last-minute work to her working committee, she doesnt seem to acknowledge the presense of Interns - by just letting us stand there like a monumental item - which is on the same board as her!!! Sandra, another subsidiary head-sales from outsider of Maxis actually asked who the hell are we??? I dont mean to be rude or want to be boastful but, we are partly the event organizer. And all Amy did was like wink reluctantly not even smiling and say, yeah they are with maxis. If I were under her, i would have not pity and feel bad (like Ellia did) and went home. A waste of time, energy and i do not do things when i am not appreciated. If killing is not a crime, we would have a dead body today!

Of course i was stun by her act. How could a leader act so childish and unprofessional. I know Interns are often labeled as being bullied or slave or cheap labour but to me, if you want to be respected as a leader, act like a jolly-good darn one. This idiot act as if we are just people who come and bother her. Matter got worst when she actually said "I dunno what to give you all do la" and ended up, Ellia was giving out balloons. THIS TOTALLY CONTRADICT the main purpose of us being there. I dont give a damm, but on monday, Loo Fun (General Manager) will have to sit down with me about her "people" and the way the had handle issues and i will SO SO SO make her listen and act upon.
Conclusion, working politics happen everywhere. Is either you be a part of it or you can choose to let it sit on you till the day you grow white hair and retire. My standing point, attack and conquer.
