The Past, The Present and Future (Resolutions)
Yikes! It’s a LONG LONG LONG LONG time since I’ve blogged~!!
If busy is an excuse that many can put up with, guess what, that’s the perfect excuse to describe myself. Never ending projects, as usual, has been killing me. Work like an ox during my shifts, waste my time on work related stuff during my 2nd off days, killing my sleep time just to maintain my social network, GOSH THIS IS TIRING BUT WORTH IT!
First thing first, with a busy schedule, I managed to join the Alum9 (at least half of them) and another few new people, to form up a ensemble group called “Singthesis”. It sounds like describing a plant due to the word ‘photosynthesis’ but this is different. I liked the name a lot! However, I had trouble learning all the songs and I managed to learn them, at least the tunes, within a day of practicing at home. I still had stage fright as I had cold sweat during 2 times of performances on the actual day. Think I’m rusty with the stage. Overall, a good job done by Singthesis as we marked our first performance with thumbs up. =]
Sad thing that happened before we say goodbye to 2010, I had a back injury, just by doing the stupid situp on a swissball. I'm healing the injury at the moment but I guess I need to see a physio soon. I cant play soccer or swim until I'm feeling better, as I promised to someone. =X Hope to heal fast so I can train fast, for IPPT and for soccer.
Luckily I had a chance to spend my new year eve with a friend and what’s cool about the new year of 2011; wake up for work. Isn’t that great, to have the first thing in your mind or task list is to get ready for work in full gear. Nevertheless, it was still a good New Year celebration. Not to forgot to take a long walk with a different feeling, as well as my first ever walk through to Marina Bay Sands! Yup! First time ever!
Then, there is an outing to Marina Barrage, another first time. I’ve never been to that green area before even though everyone had posted pictures as well as describing the common activities that can be done over there. Initially I had planned to have a gathering once during September 2010 for the YOG gang but end up a waste as I was deployed back for work. Hmm… probably a March or April outing could help this time round for the YOG cliques. Still, it was fun at Marina Barrage though I was just walking around and enjoying the breeze. =]
Lately, the team had been working hard for a skit for the 3I Convention 2011 and on that day itself, it was a success. We rehearsed like crazy at Republic Polytechnic for days and I was really having back stage frights. Wrong lines… Tired eyes… Emotionless acting… All the negative stuff that you can add on in a skit, you get it. Still, we made the audience laughed and enjoyed the entire show as we acted in front of them.
My role; a Ah Beng; was just something cool! I’ve never been an Ah Beng during Secondary school or my Polytechnic days. I was just that innocent guy. Think I did grow to be rebellious during my training days. I’m also pleased to hear from Shayima; another teammate; that there was praises for my acting. Thank you, Zizi; director of the show; for looking highly on me. Now I can say that I did once acted before in my life. Life time fulfillment.
More challenges ahead for the year 2011. Resolutions? As usual, the list goes on and on but this is the gist of the main ones I’ve always thought of.
1) Never to be late for all occasions, unless I'm coped up with something
(have a good excuse)2) At most 2 events per day to avoid disappointment for others, as well as myself
3) Learn as much as I can during work
4) Prepare for college if possible, at least plan by this year end
5) Learn to tolerate people's nonsense, especially when it comes to work (无论如何, 都要忍)
Guess that is all for now. Till next time I guess. Happy New Year and soon, Chinese New Year. =]
