Its no longer just a part time job
After working for two weeks, I got to see what this industry is all about.
To sum it up, there are 3 stages.
1. Setup 2. Manning of equipment and 3. Interacting with the people.
This job really helped me to decide which aspect of this industry I was really interesting in.
My seniors (my boss' friends who were also in this industry) said that I had the potential to reach stage 3.
With my level of experience, I think it will really take a really long while. I'm not the sort who likes to be a host/emcee.
The only fun part over the weekend was that my boss asked me to be the KJ at one of the locations.
Ok, so I know how to operate the karaoke console after helping out abit when the occasion aries but to ask me to go solo is like throwing a non-swimmer to the deep part of the pool loh!
But it was not that bad.
They wanted karaoke, I gave them karaoke.
They wanted music, I gave them music, also from the karaoke collection.
That day was also quite an unforgettable night for me. You see, when there were no more karaoke request, I just played those singable songs at random. (Mostly mandrain)
Soon, not many were singing and I started to play danceable karaoke music. At least if no one wanted to sing, I can on the analog and people can dance if they want to.
But it was towards the end when I started to play retro/contemparary songs all the way. People started getting up to dance instead of singing! For the last song, I played "Oh Carol!" and crowd went mad!
It gave me that kind of high which DJs all talk about: getting people dancing to your music.
"Oh Carol" kept replaying in my head until I finished work. It helped me to take my mind off the packup/loading/unloading of the equipment to/from the vehicle. I was so hyper that even my boss asked whats wrong with me. Haha.
Somehow, I feel that this is no longer just a part time job.
It's an internship.
PS: Oh yea, I had someone helping me while I was KJ-ing that night. It was totally unexpected. If not for her, I think I'll be very very busy! You know who you are...
Thank you!
