Fringe was on!!

I don't believe myself that I plunged into the Fringe and became a helper as well. Fringe: lots of music, comedy, rides, performance, show.... Time to chill out, have drinkings with friends and family.












I WAS A SURVEYOR FOR THE FRINGE!! How I came about being one is such a loop that it began with myself -.- . A few friends were looking for jobs and I just randomly sent whatever I see to them. The Fringe was one of them. The lady called my friend,R, and asked her to bring a friend; guess who was "the" friend (in case it's not clear enough, it's me).

It has been 5 years since I have done survey; walking to random strangers and hope they can spare 5 minutes to do a survey. 5 minutes is just an estimate; truth for most survey "as long as you say yes, the 5 minutes will stretch to 15 minutes... hehehe". Well this survey really took about 5 minutes, I've done one within 2 as everything was a no.

I guess it's easier to do a survey with a friend rather then walking alone and asking strangers to fill up the forms. There are people who don't want to do surveys and some don't like to be asked about their household income. It is true that it's tedious but surveys do help the organisers to understand the progress of this event and improve it for next year.

Anyway, after 3 hours I finished my assigned 25 forms and got paid $50 Fringe voucher. Got myself the Fringe t-shirt as a remembrance. Will I do it again?? Once and never again for this year... I'll reconsider next year... hehehe

















A colleague gave me 2 tickets to Sammy J the comedian performance which is held in the Bosco Theater inside the Garden of Unearthly Delights. The show was about 1999.. when everyone was panicking due to Y2K... and him; a life of a teenager... very unique quirky show...
