Its different when you are up there

Well, Chingay is coming to an end and I must say this year is the year that I hate most. Why? I feel that the organisation of the group is a total disaster. Although, last year I was also dancing for PA, it was not as bad.



I don't know what went wrong or what changed, my gut feeling tells me that its most likely because of the theme this year. So, the sponsors has different kind of expecations, so much so that it is totally not what the choreographers had in mind. I guess its not easy to come up with a dance let alone making it please people who has little or even no knowledge about dance choreography. But, I guess thats "showbiz" for you.



A lot of people, including myself, are really not happy with the management, be it for whatever reason. But regardless, I have to say that sometimes they can't help it with the demands pressing down on them. I am quite sure handling the PA dancers is much harder than handling DIY dancers. So, if I was to be the one up there, I might get the same response from people.



Of course, we all have to agree that either way, the system now is actually not working. And since PA, is always involved in Chingay every year, shouldn't there be a system set down for easier handling of things? Just like what Si Ping said about the Chingay brief the other day, since it is an event with such a rich history and it is a annually bigt scale event for PA, it should have a system laid down for whoever is handling the project. This way experience gets collected along the way and past down.



But, so much said, I am first of all in no position to say anything and its always easier said than done. Well, nonetheless, I still hope that I needn't go through "the system" for the third time.
