Not fun being a director!

As our company's ASC (Annual Sales Conference) is coming next Jan, we are doing a video clip for the event. This video clip will showcase our staff either in their fun side or what they are normally and we managed to find someone to do it for us at a very low cost!
This person is actually a friend of my colleague who does video clips out of interest and he agreed to help us, with the help of his friends who are in the professional video business. The filiming was scheduled on 5 Dec and having little time to prepare, he managed to come out with a storyline and my colleagues sort of amended from there. I was on mc the day b4 the filming thus wasn't in the discussion and was surprised how much they had done in one day!

The day started as early as 8.45am while we discussed about the proposed script 1st then followed by actual filming, until almost 4pm! It was tiring as I have to be around throughout, co-ordinating the staff and guide them around. However, it's really fun to see potential actors and actresses giving in their best, somewhat different from their usual self while at work. It was touching to see everyone so co-operative and cohesive and sure hope the video would turn out nice!

Well, its really no fun being a director as I was standing almost throughout the almost 7 hrs and was really tired after everything was over. I badly need a chair then so refused to leave my place after that. Anyway got loads of stuff to settle coz wasn't around for one day and already spent almost the whole day involved with the filming. Was feeling a fever coming as I was having a mild headache by then and busy sneezing away (after a short period of time under the rain while they were filming outdoors) but luckily was ok the next day.

Work has been extremely busy these days, especially during year end with people (my own dept) going on leave. Also busy with the logistics of the ASC 2008 which I am one of the committee members. I seemed to be very disoriented these days, dunno why, probably too stressed and I am trying to relax abit but end up loads of stuff got forgotten. Weird that I feel that time is always not enough now...

Finally went gym yesterday with Web, at his office's recreation club. I only had to pay $2 for entrance while for him is FOC. The environment was good coz not much people around. I had to take it easy coz dun want to end up aching all over since haven't been exercising for quite a while so only spent about 30 mins+ on the threadmill and cycle machine.

Stayed at home whole day today and not sure about dinner yet, as Web is sick again. Spent the last weekend at home too and managed to clean the house. Also vacuumed abit just now coz its damn dusty everywhere. The wind was pretty strong these days and the minute we opened the windows, all the dust and leaves came in. Clothes also cannot dry... gek sim!
