warming up.

I'm struggling whether to write a post or not as I am getting lazy and gonna make sure what I write makes sense.

It's about the George Town Festival, yes I am back after a year
so soon it had been a year, too soon
It's a bit different this year, without some similar faces
I join the team as a volunteer/helper, again
Have great passion into a more involved position, 
to see how they work things out, to liase with more people

I was assiged to an event called the 'YES Broadway'
It was a long event, I mean the preparation period
for a week, i go over the island everyday, continuously (almost) early in the morning
and go home late at night, almost midnight

I never promise it will be an easy job that guarantees satisfaction,
instead, I have lots of mixed feelings during that period, to be honest
I started it with excitement, involvement, responsibilities, doubts, slowly feel so sick with everything, boredness, passive, slowly found fun, new volunteers coming in, started to engage back, proactive, passionate, and then the event had finally called an end, 
feeling now is like: omg I miss everything so much!

It's not easy but it's very meaningful
At first I wanted a job like interviewing uncles aunties who hold on the traditional elements in the state, 
something more into the live heritage and to understand more the story of penang
in short, more heritage elements than arts
that's why I felt doubt in the middle of broadway show
but somehow they brought something else, like their passion into music and dance
a respectful one and I started to find fun.
The Broadway

I started to enjoy every working days,
the long driving journey over the sea to the town
sing loud along with songs from radio in car
simply nice, or awesome.
Journey back home is a chilling one, 
I tune to lite fm and drive slowly
to enjoy the serenity and beauty of night in penang. 

sunny day never failed to make my day.
I went to Batu Feringgi beach for lunch break, lol.

and of course eventually get my pants wet.
The people I met really inspire me a lot
Each of them have their special characters and charisma that you'll want to learn from
They are great amazing people, taught me lots, like keep holding on dreams etc
They are also fun, seriously
she's so sweet.
I like how everytime GTF can inspire me and teach me some unexpected life lessons
too much, yea
It's like a roller coaster for me, ups and downs, 
and yet you'll want to try it again though uneasy feelings might appear in between
it's life right

I love you all, people
fun performers, staff, volunteers, visitors, all
I started to anticipate for the street celebration, much more fun hopefully
and yes, life-long friends made, truly appreciate.
