The last two weeks has been very tiring for both me and my wife. We were in the middle of arranging a jazz workshop for June when we both got sick and hospitalized. It took us the total of three weeks to fully recovers and during the time we didn't have the strength to contact the people with whom we worked with.
Days passed and finally we are fully recovered. We straightaway continued our work and contacted everyone in this project but only to found that everyone turns up on blaming us for not doing our job seriously. The venue for the workshop and the gig were unjustly cancelled and again everyone put the blame on us. I took all the blame and thank Jesus I was strong enough. Some of my friends who knew about this told me to tell the truth, but I don't think that'll work since empathy does not exist in the kind of people who knew too much.
Later on we got the plan modified and the workshop is still running as scheduled. But then again, I don't feel like doing this at all!
Besides our health problem, this workshop plan has met obstacles from the moment it came out as words. I've given my best opinion based on my observation of Jakartans and Indonesians in general to correlate to the idea. They are the biggest obstacle and the second is the incoming workshop instructor. He may a great music educator and composer but no one here knows about him and that would not compel people to come. To make matter worse, there's no single tag line about him that we could use for the promotion.
Since my words fell on deaf ears and our partner insisted to move on, all we got so far only problem after problem, headache after headache.
My wife and I will wait until this workshop over and afterwards, we just want to fly and do our postponed dreams.
