Working on Matta 2011

This Year Matta fair was held on the 10th,11th and 12th of March at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur. Wow, this year was just as packed as the years before as it's Malaysia biggest travel fair biggest bargains all under one roof.  And boy ooh boy... wow.. It was jam packed with people grabbing, pushing and shoving themselves to get the best bargains they could find.

What was i doing at the fair ?? Looking for packages ?? lolz... far from it .. I was there for work. A friend of mine got me a parttime job for her company doing makeup as i just finish my Pro-Make up course .A few of my friends and I was employed by Reliance Group to Make-up and Style their models for the convention. We were the for 3 days doing the make-ups and hair styling for about 10 models and 2 promoters. And boy it was a challenge in itself.

On the first day was a bit tough as we had to get the direction, costumes and even ideas on that day, so it took us a bit longer than necessary to get everything done. With 2 of the main office staff directing us on their vision and ideas. When we agreed to take on the job , i was told to do a simple makeup and simple hair ponytail and bun as they had a certain budget and agreed for that amout to do a simple styling . However upon reaching the venue, they suddenly came in asking and kinda demanded us to do other styles for the hair and keep on commenting on the make up (even when it was not ready yet ) that kinda took a bit longer as they keep on badgering and questioning our judgements.

Um, the second day was a bit better, as we knew what we gonna do anyway. But they came in next morning, with new ideas and suggestion saying they do not want the same styling... Like WTH right ... but we were cool.. we complied... When we agreed was for 9 models, on the first day 1 model was added... then on the 2nd day, they added 2 more "Promoters" for us to style. That was kinda pushing the envelope right . They deter from the first agreement in soooo many ways ...Agghhh!!!!


3rd day was ok, however the models came in with their own ideas and suggestions.. upon which we comply as the office staff fro the 1st day also kinda follow their suggestions. Its one thing that "Models" was kinda fussy and kept on altering all our make ups. As they were brow-less we darken it slighty, to make them look human with brow. But NOOOO... they had to go to the toilet and wipe it off. They wipe their lipsticks and blusher and whatever THEY felt was not their style or whatever... my god.. and guess what... The management blame us for not making their make up more darker and what nots.. that got on my nerves..


And a few models hair style was styled according to their preferences, their SUGGESTIONS... then the made a mess out of it, so we changed it... and they altered it again.. like WTF!!!!! And again... We just did our job , although we had to do it 2-3 times just for that 2 models... my god!!!!



Anyway, when it ended. We were pretty happy as it was a tiring and slightly stress ful day.. lolz.. We got out first payment even before the event . However, its been almost a month after the even we still have not gotten the second amount... I DO NOT IN ANY WAY BLAME MY FRIEND...=)... She's awesome but  the Reliance Company management and accounting department  has deepshit problem. Like WTH... why cant they settle all payments before doing what-so-ever renovation they are doing on the accounting department. And like it takes them a month to make payment?? Um... whatever la... still being patient, awaiting 2nd payment . But i just had to vent out my anger to the company ... hehehe but i still love my friend..!!

Hoping to get the payment latest by next month, as I have a lot of payment to do. Especially i have ordered some things for the big day ...=)...Hoping and awaiting... If not will serious call whoever that is in-charge and give them a piece of my bitchy angry mind..!!!!!

Hoping all of u having a great day ..!!And have an awesome weekend..!!=)
