Babe For Life

Super busy October and November, as I got quite a lot GRO jobs to do.

I have done Indian variety shows and Chinese Talk Shows within these 2 months, all in Public Holidays, and all the weekend. Nope, I am not hardworking, just that I need extra cash flow... :P Yes, yes, I will be paid for it.

There are really difference in the way different races do a show. For Chinese show, they will keep quite closely to their timeline, like 8.30am to 9pm, and have us standby around the area, so the PD could come out and call us anytime. Everyone including the artistes will have to be in the compound, even if it is not their turn to go on air yet. I have to sit outside the studio, and look out once the door was opened. Fortunately for me, there are always 2 GRO for one show, if not I will be bored to death.

For Indian show, the PD would ask me to wait for her call at the reception, because there will always be someone coming for recording throughout the day. Recording could start from 10.30am but it may end early or late at night depending on your luck. The last time, it ended at 2am in the morning. I was lucky that it ended at 10.30pm for me that day. Throughout the day, I have been walking in and out from the reception to the studio bringing artistes, Deejay, dancers and audiences. I was very amused that they will provide meals for everyone in the studio. Yes, everyone. From backstage to artistes, GRO to audiences. They ordered food for everyone, and keep asking me to eat. Haha, good! Save my money. Chinese show also will cater food for GRO too, but not for the audiences.

For pre recorded show, we will always have to pray hard that everything run smoothly, so they can knocked off on time, and we can go home and have a good rest too. Experience GRO knows what we need to bring to pass time, to keep ourselves warm and keep ourselves full. we will never know what time it end, what will happen and what is needed for us to do. The most frequent job is to walk, walk and walk. It can be from the theatre to the reception, or to the car park, or it be climbing up and down the stairs. Of course, there are easy job like staying at the reception and gather all the people for the show. However, this kind of 'good life' post will be given to the uncles and aunties GRO working with us. I am always the one running around. Good exercise.

Sound fun right? Wait till you see my blog on complaints.
