Work today is pretty quiet. Aside from the soft humming of the kitchen kettle, the hissing blow of the aircon, and the sound of my typing on the keyboard, silence is probably the next best word to describe the situation now, void of the usual banter and chatter of the interns and staff. Veronica has resigned because she was unable to cope with the stress and multi-tasking that the job required her to be in, while Vanessa is on leave today due to hives. Its going to be a long day, i know.
Nonetheless, i feel so very blessed to be working here. Ytd morning, for almost a full 2 hours, we had a sharing session, where Cat gave us her testimony of how she came to know God. Glad to say, her testimony touched more than my heart, but Vanessa’s too, and we heard of her plans to get to know God and to go to church. How truly amazing.
Work aside, my life revolves around reso rehearsals, and i got off work early ytd so i could make the full dress rehearsal on time. Unfortunately, there were numerous pretty major screw-ups for my group– people arriving late, not having scores for substitute singers, no costumes etc. It got me pretty upset for a while, esp after all the planning, msging, calling to try to get things right. But i guess it’s thru these failures that we learn the most, more than in knowing how to handle difficult situations but also difficult people, and from there, learning how to make things right again.
Wei Lee, wailun and i braved the storm with one small umbrella after that to make it for supper @ al-ameen to satiate hungry stomachs void of dinner, and also to quell the upset and disappointments of the rehearsal. It worked, after numerous naans, spring chicken, prata, and soup (those guys can eat heck alot!).
Anw, to end this post off before i start work proper (hehe), peektures from Lide’s 21st birthday party on Saturday! :D
