Very long post,do not read.

Another busy week.The main event was our school festival.This year,as a 4th year student,I had to help out with our class exhibition.The thing we exhibited was our experiments which we had done for the pass half a year.Besides the exhibition,we also had 'Chemistry Magic' a show using chemicals as effect and asking the audiences to join in the fun.And we also had to sell 'Yakitori'(barbequed chicken).Imagine one class divide into 3 parts..The amount of work...Some of them have to go help out at their club's stall as well..Kosen festival=Busy.

As for me,besides helping out at the exhibition,I had to help out at the foreign student's stall.For the past one week,I have been buying plates,oil,flour,eggs,vege etc.In other words,became a 'kuli'=P because I was in charge of the money matters while Anuar attended to all the festival meetings etc.I'm glad I shared the job with Anuar because if I do it alone,I doubt I can do it well.

Came Friday,the girls worked hard to make Saihanna's Husyuur..A gyoza like dish.It took us 8hours to get the first 84 done.From 6pm til 2am we worked hard.Tension was high as everyone starts to get tired of failed products.All the cutting,wrapping and frying..Everyone finished at 1am,me,helped TY with the Menu display and signboard,2am.Woke up at 6am the next Sat morning,have to get everything into boxes,prepare all the plates and gas stove.Even dashed to eat breakfast and finished within 5min.

Sat morning,a rainy day.Everything was in a mess.Builiding tent,getting everything into places.Some of them not helpful at all.One kept on showing her sour face,one got many opinions and hope that everyone do what she wishes,one kept on doing things her own way,one didn't get his part done as he was told to,preparing the Roti Jala paste only on Sat morning.WTF..She was helpful,doing things quietly,he was a saint,doing things as he was supposed to and clearing up the mess his 'friend' did.The other two helped out in some ways,doing their part quietly.Me,hah..Suddenly felt like being a second child.

Caught in the middle between the seniors who have their own opinion,while the Monggol girl have her own opinion because it was her dish after all.Trying to calm and satisfy both parties is really tiring.And I have to run to Apita 2days during the festival just because suddenly the plates are not enough,the chili sauce is not enough etc.Fuck..I've already asked them for the tenth million time what else is not enough when I made the shopping,yet they kept on saying,enough enough..In the end I have to go do more shopping.Blame me for preparing not enough coins,didn't prepare the money for the kenben and preparing weird plastic bags?I did prepare coins,but it was just not enough.I did prepare money for the kenben,just you didn't call me when I was at my class exhibition.And hell,the plastic bags?SHE WANTED BEAUTIFUL ONES!!I said it was ok to use the plastic bags when we got from our shopping but no,she want nice ones,so I prepare nice ones,yet it was unpractical.Oh,wth..A quarrel ensued while I was away at the exhibition.Selfishly said,I was glad I was not around to witness the quarrel.Like I said before,with one getting angry easily,one with so many opinions and wish that everyone follow her orders yet dun wanna take responsibilties and one like doing things her own way,its the best 'ingredients' for a quarrel.If I were there,I would have tried to pacify everyone,but that would only burn me out more.I know I sound selfish,but sometimes,I really couldn't please everyone,I could only let them handle the problems themselves.Gosh,give and take lar...

And you,u very busy hor,but you 3rd year oni.Roti Jala ask you prepare you said ok,then you run to your 'club' kononnya,and came in to my exhibition to play.Walked around the corridor and claimed to be busy..And your friend have to clear up the mess for you and stayed at the tent all day.You said you'll do roti jala and he,the curry.But in the end he did both jobs more than you.Fuck..You are really a trouble maker man..He,is definetly a saint..

Sorry Araki,for I have to run to both the foreign students stall and come back to the exhibition.I'm sorry for not being able to be there the whole day though I tried to.I'm sorry I couldn't explain our experiments well to the visitors because my lack of proficiency to explain in Japanese.I'm sorry I couldn't stayed long to prepare for the next day exhibition because I had to go help out the girls prepare the dish for the Sunday's stall and running errands.I could only help do the exhibition errands as well,going to Apita to get more Katakuriko with Genchan,help prepare Dilatancy in the evening.Sorry..

Sat nights preparation was good.Everything was in control,the cutting,wrapping and frying.Even the Vice president of the kosen helped us improved our dish.But though everything was in order,we still did it til 2am.And I slept at 3am having to need to count the Sat's earning whether we could cover our cost.Woke at 7am.4hours sleep again.2cups of coffee to keep me going.

Sunday was bright and sunny.Everything went well.Again I had to run to Apita when it was suppose to be my lunch time to get things the foreign student's stall suddenly run out.I had only one Husyuur as my lunch.The body aching with all the standing and frying on Sat night til 2am took its toll.But I had to kept on with another cup of coffee.When the day finally ends,she complains the earning is not enough with all the work we had put in.Hell,if it wasnt for you kept on asking me to buy irrelevant stuffs,I could have saved more for you guys.Earned 1000yen per person might not be much,but I think it better than just earning back out cost only.

Went to my first Uchiage,a small scale party for our class.Had Milk Cocktail which I think only Japan has.This is my 5th time drinking alcohol in Japan.My 3rd visit to Izakaya.Cycled back with Wakebe and Eguchi.Had fun though tired.Thoughts after the festival?Tiring but satisfied.I knew conflicts were bound to happen,but I was glad in the end everything turned out fine.I know they would complain,somehow or another,but I also know that when everything is over,nothing would matter.I'm glad that some worked hard without giving too much opinions and although 'some' complained too much,I was glad they were there at the tent to help pull everything out well while I was away at the exhibition.I was glad Araki was patient with me while I run to and fro from the stall and exhibitionI'm sorry I complained and rant so much here,but cuz I kept mum about my opinions to make sure everything runs smoothly during the festival,I have no choice.I'm not perfect,I need to voice out my dissatisfaction too..

Now,although my body is aching badly,but I was glad everything was done.Given another chance,I would do it again albeit getting very tired.After all,it gives me a good experience to handle 'problematic' people,helps me to test my abilities to manage something,gives me a good experience than the usual boring classes.

In other words,gave me an interesting event in a part of my life.Kudos to everyone who made this festival a success..(first time get to see how people at the 'backstage' help to work out a splendid 'performance',to make sure everything runs smoothly..Murakami,Wakki,Araki,Eguchi..Gokurosama..)
