Back From The Dead. I Took A Detour.
It has been a good half-a-year since my last post. I figured I really should update with something. Thing is, I was never really good at all this blogging stuff. Heck, I'm not really good at anything to begin with *shrugs* I'm sure everyone knows that feeling. It comes round the corner everyone once in a while (and no, I don't mean monthly).
I've been killing my back organising a trip to an orphanage for my division's St. Johns and heck it was tiring indeed. The day of the trip finally came last week. It was on a Saturday. Just a few days before that, I had to call up all thirty (yes, thirty!) members to confirm their attendance for the trip. I've had nightmares whereby the people-in-charge from the orphanage called me and told me they had to cancel our trip because some bigger company was going to visit them on that same day but thank God that was all a dream. To my horror, three quarters of the committee board that I setup for the trip only informed me that they couldn't make it to the trip two days before the actual thing. Not that it really bothered me since I was doing most of the work from the very beginning but damn? =.=
On the day of the trip itself, it was a total and utter mess for me. When the whole bunch of us arrived at the orphanage, the people incharge told me that I had to cut my programme two hours short because the orphans had church to go to. I was wondering to myself, why didn't they tell me on Thursday when I called them up to confirm that our trip is on!? There goes my programme plan down the drain. So in the midst of the crazy 'unorganised-ness', I had to revise my programme to cut two hours out from it. Then some other senior comes along and half-assedly takes over the role of host which supposedly is mine and screws up my programme plans again. There goes my first revised programme plan-- off to the corner for me again to revise the whole programme plan AGAIN. I only managed to do half of the things that I planned to do for the trip so to be entirely honest, I think the trip was a failure although many people said that it was a success. Halfway through the visit, one of the 'people-in-charge' from the orphanage slipped and hit her head. It starting bleeding and whatnot. So all the 'grown-ups' left for the hospital asking us to babysit their orphans until they got back =.=" RAWR!
I don't mean to be a brat or anything but thing wouldn't be this way if they'd let me do things my way and leave it all up to me. I was well prepared for it but I didn't get a chance to show what I've prepared! But-- nyeh, humans *eye twitches*
Moral of the story is, never in your entire life, do work just because no one is doing it. That's how my foot got stuck in this pot hole. Just be like everyone else and do absolutely nothing! 8D
Comic Fiesta is coming up and I'm hoping that I'll be able to attend both days. Er--- Hold on, I'm hoping that I'll be able to attend Comic Fiesta but I have a gut feeling that something is gonna come along and screw things up for me again XD Just like how it always does. I'm used to it.
On the brighter note, I've just finished watching Honey & Clover (season 1 and 2) and finally managed to understand the hype about the anime. It was a really good watch in my opinion. Random crack moments to last me a lifetime ;D It was all interesting for me cause it was very casual in a colourful way. They portrayed life really casually as in day to day stuff, things that you can relate to yet it was interesting with all the things happening and whatnot. Maybe it's just me since my life has never been that exciting. I especially love their insert songs. Suga Shikao's voice is sexy XD
The year is coming to an end and I don't want my holiday to fly away. Somebody shoot me. Please?
