Super busy weekend!

Dedicated to God and CHC: Happy 20th anniversary!

Dear God,

Realised I've not blogged for quite a long time! Spending more time writing notes on facebook rather than blogging. But anyway, just an update on whats been going on in my life for the past week..

Thank You for the great and wonderful weekend! Truly, I enjoyed myself since last thursday, going for meetings and eating good food, and on Friday, my boss brought us to the top of Pan Pacific restaurant for a tim sum lunch which is really good! I will definitely bring Joan to eat there one day.

Then at 7.30 pm, while i was driving mindice home w joan in the car, chowkiat called n asked me to go for FOP SF prac at 8.30 pm! had a small disagreement w joan, but in the end we did went to the fish n chicks place at sembawang for dinner, n arrived at studio at about 9.15 pm, n practice hadn't even started yet! prac was supposed to end by 10 pm, but it dragged on until about 10.50 pm, n we started singing ktv only at about 11.15 pm if i remember correctly. not long enough man, only about 2 hours n we had to pay $12 each. we still went to Mac for a bite n chatted for a while n finally left for home about 2.15 or so. GK last min didn't come, but he said he'll pay me lah, so nevermind.. Not really satisfied w that KTV session though, will prob organise another one when we're all less busy! By the time we sent everyone home, we reached home at about 3.30 am, slept around 4 am. I actually managed to wake up at 11 am to rush for NDP preview, which is not too bad, imho! LOL! Joan was still lazing around when I was packing my stuff n left the house to drive to marina square at around 11.45.

Thank You also for giving me the energy to last through the NDP preview! I don't know why, during the rehearsal I was already perspiring like crazy, but during the actual performance, I was even more nervous n felt my throat was dry n felt a littleweak n a bit stunned at how fast things seemed to be moving! perhaps its stage fright, but considering i've performed in front of thousands of pple before, it shouldn't be stage fright.. but all in all, the NDP preview was quite good, i managed to pull off chapter 3 and 5 without much difficulty. Forgot to take my gold costume, but fortunately Red ran back to get it for me, haha. See, all things work for the good of those who love Him! I've learnt to not get angry when things don't go smoothly, and learn to be adaptive and flexible, to solve the problem rather than blame the persons responsibile for the mistake. Sure, there's a time to scold n rebuke, but when the problem presents itself, it needs to be solved before the scolding n finger pointing can behind. at least that is what i believe. to solve the most urgent problem, n finding the root of the problem or the cause only later. reacting according to the situation, rather than to emotions.

But enough w NDP preview. Janice had her birthday at D1415 at downtown east, n it hard finding a car park there! despite the new multi-storey car park, it was still super crowded. had to rush to eat my dinner, n met up w John n Mikki, n of cos the birthday girl janice. I don't even know why I consider her a friend, like a god daughter, when she's so obsessed with her looks n her modelling thing, which i doubt she can do for much longer. maybe another 3-5 years at most. but i don't like her smoking, ah beng, vulgar friends. see what happens when u backslide? =P but still, had a good time w John n Mikki, catching up w each other, sharing whats happening. John's a designer for ceramic company apparently, n Mikki has problem w an emo cg member. oh n janice has amazingly large posters of herself at her party, n we were taking many photos of those posters, quite funny! Hahaha.. after sending everyone home, i reached home about 2 am or so? second night of returning home so late! sleep depravity in motion!

Sun morning, we tried to wake up at 6.30 am for the 9 am svc, so we could reach SIS by 7.15 to join the queue to get the commemorative glass block, but in the end i was too tired, n just sms alicia that we'd go for the second service at 11.30 am. we woke up later around 10, n reached SIS around 11.20 am, just in time to find 2 seats (thanks Grace!) just before svc started. Thank God it was a celebration service w little preaching, if not i'm sure i would've dozed off! Had lunch at pastamania after svc w Joan, n even had time to drive her to meet SHufen at Suntec, before driving back to SIS for SF prac which begun only around 4 pm (supposed to meet at 3.30 pm lor, n i'm actually one of the earliest pple to reach!). The performance was only like maybe 2 min max, but it was good! Rev Canon James Wong liked it, n we hoped so did the audience.. a small crowd which occupied the floor area and a bit of the sides. =p quite pathetic, to be honest.

After dinner at ajisen ramen, i sent joan home n walked up the creaking new stairwell, then reached home at around 10 plus. so that concludes the busy n fruitful weekend! Amen!

----------

Now its monday afternoon at 2.22 pm, another 3.5 hours till i get to go home n sleeeeeeepp!! super sleepy n tired, n finished reaching Cain's Last Stand. not exactly one of his best books, very average story only. but anyway my eyes are still on the verge of closing, think i shouldn't have read finish the book n slept so late. but weekends are precious to me, n i honestly don't think i can do very much else besides eat n sleep on a weekday! =P

At least the actual NDP is around the corner, my final performance as part of the national day parade! time for the younger memebrs in strikeforce to grow up n take over my place. hahaha..
