the past week has been insane. i feel more tired out than when i was still working at bmi.
you see on monday i went with mich to esplanade. first time i was asked to help shoot a gig. i think for a first timer, i did pretty okay. i got some pretty decent shots (which are all up on my
flickr) and i really enjoyed the gig. alarice did one of my fav songs "man in the mirror" and also did a cover of rascall flatt's "god bless the broken road". very beautifully done. and of all places to meet childhood friends, i met jem and charis ooi there. and we somehow were ALL connected.
tuesday onwards was just all double trainings and work inbetween. the kids at the childcare are so cute. zann is so adorable sometimes you just can't help but laugh when she does something mean or wrong. de ren is so precious he lights up my day. i mean all the other kids are cute, but sorry, i've got my favs.
and then came friday. okay which was yesterday. and damn, it's all these things that make you stop in your tracks and think about life and death. i think you've all heard that someone drowned at mac on friday evening. how it happened was pretty complicated in a weird way. but the kids who were there when it happened, i'm so sorry. i can't begin to express how sorry i am that you've been traumatised by this event. i cannot imagine being you and being helpless and just seeing someone i've spent at least 3 hrs every alternate day, who has trained me, who i look up to, die right infront of my eyes.
life's too short. the worst part is that, the last thing i ever said about that person was not a very nice comment. and knowing me, not very nice, really is not nice at all. we've all been taking so many things for granted. at least this time it was not someone i knew knew knew. we all assume we'll have some other day to say something good to/about that person. that even if you said something mean today, tmr it will be forgotten and some other day you'll make up for it.
just exactly a week ago, when something major happened at home, it made me realise how important family is. this is getting really sappy and lame but... oh wells. i've just got too much running through my head now and running on that much sleep, yeah, not working that well. okay i better finish up some freelance work and get more sleep. gdnightssss.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YHWH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

john mayer and chris botti on the same stage just blows! i just finished watching john sing "glad to be unhappy" with chris on his live in boston performance. it's amazing how john never ceases to amaze me with his versatility and that smooth voice of his. oh.... i quote mich... it's like audio porn. and then i remember daniel wilson saying... stop fornicating. hahah! that was hilarious. but still john mayer + chris bottiiii!!!! ZOMG. i want to see them live! i remember swooning over chris botti on my imac screen. his dedication to the art is just beyond commendable on so many levels. and as for john, he's just pure talent and genius.
oh yes, and a new obsession. not exactly new cos, i loved his voice ever since i caught les choristes for the first time. Jean Baptiste Maunier. Amazing voice (of cos before his voice broke, i dunno what he sounds like now), and those precious turquoise eyes. oh and he's grown to look so darn good with a strong jaw-line and still those great eyes and towering at 1.84m plus he's french. i remember melting when i first heard him sing the "La Nuit" solo. DIES. the emotion in his voice and it has that angelic tone. i would say i've been to heaven and back. lol!
things have been working themselves out. it's pretty cool. in just the past week, i've met two A&E specialist who have offered to help me along when i get into the field. and advising me on the options i have and routes that i can take. i guess i was really fretting over nothing really. all i have to do now is clear medical and i'm in on this. God has been amazing in providing a way. I can see His hand on this. and although there's like this swine flu and all going round, i feel secure. like this is what i should be doing right now. so its just pretty cool.
so wells, i guess. all i need now is abit of income for the next 2 and half months coming 17 may. and i'm just sure, it will all work out. so i'm just gonna chill, and let God do His thing.
