(: Rest
I AM SO HAPPY i'm gonna disappear from Singapore for three days!
It's gonna be such a nice relaxing weekend and i don't even care what we do. Even if i stay in the resort the whole day and chill, that would be a blast. i guess now with my weekends so packed, i think the weekends are getting me more tired than weekdays, physically at least.
i am so happy for the Rest that awaits in Malaysia! no tuition.no ballet. (actually i enjoy these two but, i really need the rest. maybe the mental rest--> have a break from constantly having to remind yourself what's the next 'to do item'. finally can break out of schedule for 3 days. that's e power of a holiday i guess! But i am kinda sad my next ballet class will be in 7 days time tho -the shock-). the last time i danced was sunday!
And my silly tuition kid go and plan tuition for himself on tuesdae, such tt if i change tuition to wed i can't go for ballet class. that silly boy! today i told him tt he's having tuition on tuesday b4 his other tuition. -crosses fingers and hope it's possible-
The past four days have been so squashed. It felt like a full work week with more appointments like tuition crash course (cos i'm away for the weekend) plus two interviews and deadlines. but all that has passed and i deserve a holiday. Been 'labouring' too much - Labour day yay! Thank God for labor day.
one thing died this week though - i didn't apply for Go-Far. one dream down. the rest... 'are still in the running to be..'.
This week was quite bad too cos i woke up LATE 2 out of 4 days. first it was monday cos i slept really 'early' and then i tried to be on time the next two days which were fine. But after wednesday and the tuition, my goodness. i felt like a million things had happened both at work, online and tuition, i thought my week was through. but it was one more day of thursday and what do ya know i woke up at 9 am again.
I was in total shock and stress + horror. really hate it when time literally passes you by and you can do NOTHING about it to get it back. Worse thing was, both my feet were NUMB for whatever reason. so i jumped outta bed but couldn't start rushing cos i felt like 'a ghost with no feet' and i decided to plonk onto the floor (cos it felt really weird to not feel anything. i really felt like a lady ghost w/o feet! (it's NOT a nice feeling) - anyway, that was a bad move. i fell on my knee and damn. i have a large bruise now. it just made me feel worse than i already did. so what did i do?
pop in 3 luminex pills and THEY WORK.
It was raining this morning too. good thing my aunt came by to give me a lift to work. the cab companies were busy and there was no cab in sight. she really saved the 'already lost day'.
But once at work, the day got better after the initial 'sorry sorry i am late!' and settling down.
My mother suggested I take MC today but i couldn't cos i had an event to attend this afternoon.
I'm glad i went through with everything as per normal and didn't chicken out.
Actually, on monday when my sup asked if i wanted to take the job, i didn't think i should cos i had other tasks to do. but since he said it'd be a good learning exp and it's at a nice hotel .. it'd be a good chance. so i took it up.
It starts at 2 so i couldnt join my colleagues for lunch today too. plus i was working on a weekend blog entry before lunch which took half my morning (i was late the other half =( ) But just before i left, i ate a sad sad 'lunch'. Milo with plain crackers. well, it's quite 'sad' but it's not tt bad cos. milo is still a luxury. it cld've been water and biscuit. heh
Of course, with everyone gone, the plus point was i don't have to feel paiseh taking (a few more biscuits than usual) and stirring drink. heheh. such a greedy pig i am. you know wad a biscuit buff i am.
Then i left for the launch of a new uni course by a pte education provider.
It was at a nice hotel, and other media representatives who were there were from Today, Berita Harian, ST and even Cleo magazine. of course you can imagine how 'oh oh' i felt. plus i had no superior with me!
I sat next to the berita harian person and ST person and eavesdropped on their conversation before the event =p. when the speech was gg on, the lady nxt to me was writing down stuff n i almost wanted to peep n copy her but i realised 'this is not exam' and 'adults don't copy one another' so i resisted.
Anyway, the press release provided by the co. was very informative.
After the launch, i got to eat at the tea break! nice high quality hotel food! hoho. so from milo+ biscuits i got to eat rich people food too =)
When i got back to the office, i put all my notes tgt and tried my best to craft the story. Then i let my editor see and by then it was the end of the day. i was scared he'd tell me my sentence or tense was wrong again. but this time on yahoo msger, when i clicked on the blue flickering alert, the reply i read was
" very good job =) "
PHEW.... it really made my day. and i also thank God the reply wasn't." charlene..didn't i say...it's not..."
Otherwise, it would've been a really bad bad bad day.
It's crazy. suddenly i felt that i LOVED what i did and MAYBe i can write and blah blah. and maybe i can teach tuition properly after all and not teach my student the wrong thing.. like how swiftly the world suddenly looked beautiful..
But. as a writer, my photojourn teacher told the class, 'you're only as good as your last writing or last picture' and so the challenge begins again when i start my other feature article over the weekend in malaysia.
and As a dancer, 'you're only as good as your last pirouette' =/ haish. still working on those turns =)
