It's almost coming towards the end of the week and I'm quite surprised that things don't really follow as planned...
Monday: missed the Raffles Town Club meeting... because i was stuck somewhere else in toa payoh industrial park and was trying to negotiate a good price for our company banner...
Tuesday: supposed to meet with directors but cancelled. continue with rehearsal at night
Wednesday: attended NTUC income talk. it's really enjoyable to watch the presentation given by our 2 doctors, esp from our dermatologist. learnt things like keratosis, scabies, warts and laser treatments for face etc. sometimes i really think to myself, if i study medicine (let's say only hor)... how long do i need to spend to attain those achievements they have gotten. and if i'm a doctor, which specialty area should i zoom into? well... trying to think too much again. haahaa..
Thursday: did not attend the luncheon hosted by LGT bank. and know why? you can't believe this... my new boss asked me out for lunch. we went to Pete's place and they have this salad bar and pasta thingy. i didn't really eat much because most of the time we are talking. my new boss asked so many questions! basically, i think it is like an interview in a nice setting. and did i mention that she was wearing Prada sunglasses and carrying a Prada bag... and remember... "The Devil wears Prada"???!!! hahha... no lah, she is alright as a person. however, definitely very diff from my current boss, who keeps her clothings and accessories simple. After that, we went to see the director of SM (STB), who happens to be my new boss's friend's husband. it's a small world! have a good chat and understand that they are going to hire more ppl. very tempted to jump over... i'm serious. you get paid to fly around the world! however, i think i can drop the idea as you know it will be very awkward - keeping in mind how my new boss and the director are related...
Friday: have lunch in a vegetarian restaurant with boss, her husband (who is my dentist as well) and my new Myanmar colleague. my boss actually wanted to break the news of her resignation to the new staff but decided to hold it as it might spoil the happy mood we are all in... i start to be sad when i think about this... anyway, after that... went to centrepoint to look at apartments. not for myself hor... for patients! quite impressed by the well furnish place! after that, i went back to office and started to feel stress about what to say for my talk at night. i have not even finalised the topic of my talk! then... when i was sitting on the toilet bowl... an idea struck me! hahha... pardon me.. it just happens to be... not tryin to be gross. i could actually 'recycle' a talk that i had prepared when i was attending my advanced classes in fotang last year. it just take me few minutes to scan through the notes and before i know it... i was standing behind a table sharing the contents with an audience of 8. i was surprised that i do not have stage fright. anyhow, the response was good and for me quite a relief... haha.. 2 more months before the next round comes. but i feel it's a good learning experience. and lesson learnt, i need to prepare early!
Saturday: last rehearsal before Sunday's actual performance... thanks to the Grace of God... everything runs very smoothly. and the actor that i'm always having problem with (hm, i'm the director), finally Finally expresses himself in the way i want to see it! really really happy and jumping. i kept praising him and i finally see that 'AT LAST' smile from him... hope he can bring this to stage tml. God Bless! and oh ya... sad to miss the Canada Day event at east coast. heard there're fireworks! but really too busy to attend.

Sunday: what words should i use to describe the performance? basically, i was very touched and almost in tears - both by the play and the crew. i was standing near the control room during the play. i observed that the backstage crew and actors were very focused. and when i turned around, i saw my bro and friend controllin the spotlight. this is the first time my bro conc so hard. i was v touched by these ppl's sincerity in making the play a success - which indeed turns out to be so. i thought i heard ppl trying to clear their noses. but anyway, at the end of the day, i still feel it is what you learn that is important. do hope they benefit something from the play =)
.
And from Mon to Wed... i managed to meet with Roger everyday.. it feels like we are starving to see each other. ya.. starving is the word! hahha.. we also bought view cams to prepare for his US trip. so now we can see each other every night while on msn or skype! yippie! i guess absence really makes the heart fonder.
.
that's it for this week!
.
for this coming week my boss is not around! however, this doesn't mean it's less 'exciting'...
.
Tuesday: meet with one director and my new boss... as if one is not enough!
.
Sunday: giving a talk to our youth group on faith. this will be tougher than the one given on Friday. it has specific topics or areas to cover. again, not very prepared yet... wish me luck!
