2 months of intensive hard work, late nights, 7 days work week, frustration and pain.
1 week of travelling from Manila to Singapore to KL and spending time with the Harrisons.
While it seems all fun and even glamorous, how many really know what we have been through?
Everyone sees the good things and expects nothing short of perfection.
It's so easy to say a thank you, great job and congratulations but this time, it's not the same.
I lost count of the number of times I woke up before the alarm went off because I thought I forgot something important.
My heart beat particularly fast each time they are done with something, each time they are ready to make a grand entrance because I was afraid we didn't get the timing right.
I fought with so many people and must have made lots of enemies by now.
And I've been thinking is it worth it?
No doubt it's a great experience, possibly the highlight of my career but who cares really?
What do I want after this?
The change of flights for their wives.
The flood in Manila.
The request to fly in earlier despite the flood!
The late check in - 5mins later and we would have missed our flight.
The different working styles.
The lack of expectations and make-do-with attitude in some people.
The lack of sleep and food.
The stupid requests from irrelevant people - everyone wants a piece of you and treats herself/himself as one of the Pawn Stars!
BUT, for every not-so-good thing that has happened, there are always the good ones.
The Harrisons are nice people and appreciate our effort.
Everything went smoothly in the eyes of others.
They are famous and hence thousands showed up at the consumer events.
We enjoyed some privileges thanks to them.
And now what....?
