DRAINED. From an average of 14 hours of work everyday since my MC.
Preparation for the True Hearts was messy and frantic. Everyone- my boss and my two helpers- were so stressed and we nearly had heart attack.
Half an hour before the LIVE show starts, the designer was still in the store looking for clothes (!) He called me and instructed me to rush over to the nearest shopping mall to buy clothes because he decided to change the colour theme last minute. I was at the Jurong East Sports Complex and I had only 20 mins to run out, flag a cab to JP, grabbed the clothes and queued for payment, and chased after a cab to go back. Imagine that!
Diana Ser, the host, was chasing after me because her clothes were not in yet. She kept telling me, "I need my clothes now" but I couldnt do anything because her clothes are with the designer. Apparently the gown that Frederick Lee designed for her was too formal for the outdoor charity show and the designer had to shop for a new piece. Designer finally brought back a diamante low cut top from POIS 15 mins before the show. And the top was so revealing that my helper had to standby backstage with needle and thread.
And now finally the show is over. Well done, because the show is good. The money is good- we managed to raise over $1.1 million for the Comm Chest. Thank you Singaporeans.
The show is over, but not the work. I have to go back to the wardrobe later to settle the TEN racks of dirty clothes. And bags and bags of dirty shoes.
I just want to sleeeep....but my next off day is on Saturday because there's so many things to clear! *sob sob*
EDITED.
God is not fair. I saw a cute hairstylist but I was so busy and shy that I didnt have the chance to talk to him!! And the yummy national swimmers Le.slie Kw.ok and Er.nest! Bleah
But I did see MayDay and A Mei.
