Another Day in Paradise

It's 9:47am and I haven't slept. After work yesterday I went for a pyrotechnics show setup in Times Square. The setup for the next show starts in conjunction with the clean-up after the show for that night has ended. The stage truss are taken down, the backdrop and stage dismantled. Worst thing is that, after all that dismantling, another company comes to the same place, brings the same stuff and starts building and setting up again. This process takes forever. We can't get the pyro set-up until the truss is setup, but not heightened into it's place near the ceiling.

Last night's show was Miss Chinese World 2005. Partly sponsored by SITO, the company that occupies the lower floor of our building. I saw the posters a few days ago, I didn't think much of it because it was at Times Square, and I never go there.

Anyways I went for something similar last year, Miss Chinese Oriental, Last year I was more lucky, I got to see
Eric Tsang and the pretty NTV7 news reporter. Juin Kee or Kee Juin or something, I can't remember her name.

The girls were tall, and skinny....it horrified me, they looked like they haven't eaten for a year! I also saw Gary something from the Malaysian TV show Lingo.

Everything went okay sort of. The first cue was messed up because not everything went off. The rest of the cues were perfect. I was glad when it was over. I could finally sleep.
