I can't imagine how I could have gone for so long without viewing and typing on my blog. It's just been tough, logging in and reading the latest post and actually beginning to think what I could type about. It's been so busy and tough that I couldn't find the words to describe everything, and I probably will not be able to do so now but I'm going to try : )
It's been a flurry of activities these past 3 weeks, I'm not sure where I should begin. So to start off, here's what I had in store for me.
29th May 2010: Resorts World Performance
29 May- 6 June 2010: Launch of my book at Suntec City International Book Fair
5th June 2010: 21st Birthday Celebration
12- 14 June 2010: Genting holiday with extended family
Yeah. So of course, much of my time was invested in AFT's performance at Resorts World. We had to be as close to perfection as possible. And here's the truth, we were not close to being perfect but we were definitely good because no one else in Singapore has tried it and we did. We broke the barriers for what was deemed possible and impossible and I know for sure that the next person in AFT takes up a gig like this, we'll be perfect. First time's always the test run : )
To the boys, who told me that they couldn't sing or dance, you proved yourself wrong. Yeah you go off pitch sometimes but so do I. The thing that matters is that you tried and won a battle. Girls, our first time dancing on stage in a dress and it went well. Both of you looked gorgeous and I couldn't have danced with anyone better.
Prabs, Henry and Idham, thank you for making the music awesome to sway to. Prabs, an excellent job done in the official song for the SHINE awards. It was truly an inspirational song and everyone loved it : ) Henry, I know you learned the chords for the song rather last minute, but it was definitely well done! Idham, what can I say? The ladies love a dude in a suit carrying and playing the bongos ; )
All of you looked amazing that night and it was truly a huge step for AFT and we can only keep on climbing up from here on out for we have built the safety net and we've got something to catch us if we fall, our reputation.
So moving on, while all this was going on, I was preparing for my birthday party. Not easy when too many people are providing suggestions leaving you tired and agitated and just confused. But after awhile, I knew that I had the last say and should be making decisions based on my own good sound judgement. So from there on out, things went well...well kinda.
Anyways, this week's been rather tough because I was juggling teaching at Si Lin Primary School from 1pm to 5pm and Sinda from 7pm to 9pm on Monday and Tuesday. And I had Sinda again today. It's just been 3 long days with my mum and me squeezing any time we had left for all it was worth; rushing here and there purchasing deco, calling up to confirm food orders, ensuring the cake would arrive on time, sound system, dress, guest book, emcee script (meeting the guys later in the wee hours of the morning), music, video, masks...god...ah yes and mosquito patches. I don't want anyone getting bitten in the outdoors. Oh and how could I forget, toys to distract the kids from the small pool. Kill me.
At the same time, I'm meeting up Yoga and Naathan in the morning to settle the emceeing part, then going for facial (an evil foe that my mum just has to force me to go!!! I hate it!!! HATE IT! Not kidding. Threading and all I can take but STUPID SICKENING FACIAL!!! BLOODY HELLL! !!!! I'm just supposed to sit there and wait and wait and wait and wait till my STUPID LIFE EXPIRES!!!!!!!!!!! Okay I'm calm now.) Then, I'm meeting up ladies from AI for lunch and then rushing off to NUS to pass them the bags for the camp and then rushing back to meet my mum and head over to Malaysia to collect the album and purchase anything that is anti mosquito. Then head back home to complete the table centre pieces.
And on Friday, rising bright and early to follow my mum to settle some stuff, transfer money over to confirm some travelling documents, off to Tangs to purchase a chocolate fondue machine (hopefully), then to Suntec City for the International Book Fair to promote my book then off to Spaboutique to meet the table and chairs company and to set up half the deco. Then back home to sleep.
And then on Saturday....ahhhh!!! Wake up, go to the saloon, get my hair done, chuck all things necessary for the party into mum's car, head off for french class (last lesson so I have to go and collect my certificate), leave halfway for the Spaboutique, set up all the deco, change, makeup and then party starts. At this moment, although I know there is more after that, I can't seem to think beyond 5th June at this point of time so I'm going to just take it 1 week at a time.
Did I mention I went to Ikea and then courts and then Chong Pang and then to a cousin's house and then to SINDA and then to the CC all the while, I REPEAT, all the while, somehow lugging a bag that weighs more than 4kg on top of my 1.5kg Nike Bag (yes I weighed it).
But I don't hate life, I'm just trying my best to make sure that I'm not swept away by the tidal wave, instead, I'm trying to ensure I'm riding it. Understand the difference? If you don't, I'll explain it some other time.
Feeling Like A Zombie,
Writer
