I was assigned by Northwind for a banner that sized 24 ft x 10 ft big for MGA event last monday. And as usual, I always make sure that the banner is ready 2 or 3 days before the event and yes, i picked up the banner on last friday.
FRIDAY (6.2.09)
"uncle, semua okay eh? manayk besar la.. tak bole bukak check.. kedai u kecik lagi pun" i said..
"ok ok.. semua ok! jangan lupa kasik settle itu payment ah?" said the uncle..
so okay then. I just paid the rest of the payment at the counter and some of the staff helped me to put in the banner inside my car.. without realizing the danger that I'm facing, I just let the banner at the hall of my house..
SUNDAY (8.2.09)
Kak Wati from Northwind called me in the afternoon and said..
"Adib, please be at the hotel around 9 yah, nak pasang banner tu" she said.
"Alrite!!" i replied.
I just came back from makan-makan with friends and Ana's family later that afternoon. So i rushed home as my invoice for the payment is not ready yet. Agak menggelabah di situ. Luckily my friend Kamarul worked nearby at ss4 helped me to print them. So i fetch Naim Zam and Ramon to help me with the delivery.
As i arrived, all the people at the banquet smile! proudly that i have the thing ready on time. Aku pun turut bangga jugak dan dengan bangganya jugak.. I scrolled the banner down on top of the structure and found this!......
The unwanted colour given by the printer.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
(screams my inner heart)
I started to sweat..
I started tu crumble..
I started to just feel like running away from this damages..
DAMN YOU UNCLE!!!! can't u just make things right? dah macam kuih lapis dah kaler banner aku!! arghhhhhh!!! tensionnya!!!!!!!!!!
So i calmed down after several minutes battling with my unstable emotions.. Kak Wati said
"Kita kena print baru jugak dib. Kalau tak, habis nama company.. Habis nama you.." calmly..
"Yes Adib, you kena print baru jugak. There is no way we are goint to hang this banner up." said Uncle Lan who was one of the project manager.
We all vigourously scroll down our phonebooks, try to search for printers and luckily Kak Wati found one.. DESIGN REVIEW SDN BHD. It is located at Sri Damansara. Near Puchong.. damn.. that's far!
Nak taknak kena la buat jugak kan.. There, i met this one Bangladeshi named Nasir. He is the designer and the coolie at the same time.. He lives there, in a room with another 15 other workers. Damn!
But he is such a lifesaver! :)
Nasir with his machine!
(sblm tu dia pakai kain je.. lepas tu dia rasa cam lama je benda ni nak print, dia naik atas tuka sluar)
After nearly 3 hours waiting for the banner to print, we (me and Naim) rushed to the Impiana Hotel KL and deliver the brand new banner.
And everyone lives happily ever after! :)
The banner already attached to the structure as backdrop.

woah, tahniah la abang.
mekasih
nasib baik ada Bangla tolong ko. Biasa kilang yang run 24 hours ngn large machine je boleh buat satu mlm siap. tu pun ikut job queue bnyk ke tak. pengajaran dgn printer ni, ko suruh dia print sample kecik pun tkpe.. just to make sure the color is right. once dh confirm color yg dia print, suruh dia proceed ngn printing btol. Machine digital inkjet ni lain mcm skit perangai dia. Color boleh lari gila2 punya kalau main pritn direct. Kene lak uncle yg asal boleh, color lari pun dia bantai gak bg. Color prove pun kene provide gak kat uncle tu suruh dia adjust color sebijik mcm yg ko bg color prove tu.
itu la dia.. puas aku sound dia.. siap aku cakap.. takkan la u tak kasik orang u print out? takkan main hantar je kat machine.. aduss.. takpela.. ni pengajaran bagi aku jugak.. heheh!
