Finally the long awaited event of the year “LAYAR BESTARI 2008 AKA WAYANG PACAK” finally took place on the 27th October 2008 in Kapit. After being postponed for four times since April, I can’t recall huhu…the Minister finally gave in and spare some time for Kapit.
The team from HQ arrived on the 24th to monitored the whole event. At first the proposed location was at Padang Majlis Daerah Kapit situated next to Dewan Suarah. However, after the little screen was put up at the field on the 25th..literally speaking well it is small..even the banner was bigger that the screen. After much consideration and consultation from the top management. It was agreed that the proposed location was not appropriate and was immediately shifted to Kapit Town square which was situated at the heart of little Kapit town.

The New Location Kapit Town Square
We did all the preparations..but to our dismay..most of the local staff was not helpful at all. I had to find my own initiatives just to find extra trays for the souvenirs. Luckily I was the type who like to ask around..Alas I managed to borrow from KPSU without hassle. I just don’t know what to say anymore..Just want to get over with it..The whole team faced the same problem and what we did was just do our part and make sure everything turns out well at the actual event. We hardly had enough sleep for the whole 4 nights in Kapit. We even had to stay until 3 am just to redo one of the functions seating arrangements and the staff didn’t even bother to tell us that they had sent all the invitations with fixed table stated on the card. What a waste of our precious and energy..and had to wake up early the next morning!! Damned!!!
27th October 2008
On 27th, we had rehearsals in the morning then i had to rush to the jetty to welcome the Minister who was supposed to arrive at 3.30pm but end up two hours late..As they reached later in the evening after a late departure from Sibu. The Minister was too occupied playing golf hahah…We had to wait for two hours for the boat to arrive..what a bummer!! huhuhuh…free free sunburn under the scorching sun..phew!!! 
The Layar Bestari 2008 aka Wayang Free @ PacakAlas the big long awaited moment has arrived…The Minister n the entourage arrive at approximately 8.30pm…once the VIPs finally settle down..out of the sudden the chaos begins..Our planned grand launched was immediately destroyed…All our effort, and all our hard work and pre planning for the launched..Every single bit was a big waste!!!…
The launched was only mere words of Thanks from the MInister in Iban!!!…What a big disappointment!!! Well what the heck..Saya yang Menurut Perintah!! There’s nothing much to say and do..so the 500O crowd who were flooding the area and the stage immediately after the announcement..
Well I don’t call that a Launch 
and my main concern was to get over with it..And finally the event was quite successful and ITS OVER!!!! HUHUHU…That What Matter the Most!!
