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.
