Another week is ending.....
Didn't do much on New YEar's Day. Met my galfriend for a while at Causeway Point with her friend. We went to the games arcade and played some stuff there. The feeling was nostalgic as I have not been in an arcade for quite a few years and it reminded me of some happy memories. I even tried playing Daytona which I think was the second time I ever played in my whole life. I'm not good at this but I must say it was fun. Went on auto mode as i wasn't familiar with manual. I realised that i always come in last when i play car racing games. Reminded me of the days back in poly when an ex of mine loves to play Daytona back then. Playing this made me want to "refresh" my driving skills again. Got my licence in 2004 but didnt drive since then. I'm the typical girl who gets gan cheong when driving....maybe a new year resolution is to be confident and start driving....probably got to be nicer to my bro so that he will lend me his car.....anyone wants to teach me driving? " , wat is the most effective way to go back to driving again? how?
Went back to work the next day. However the day did not start off well as i met problems with my email and computer. i was so frustrated as i couldn't seem to get my work done. In addition, my boss seems to expect me to know things with just a snap of the finger. I understand that things are hectic around here and i want to learn fast but being in a much challenging environment after floating around for the past 8-9 months certainly has its difficulties. i just hope she realise that i need time to adjust and bounce back. luckily i have an understanding colleagues who is so helpful to me.
After work that day, i headed to my uni for band practice. it was band camp for the past 3 days which started on wed. my conductor went through el camino real, a piece which i have fond memories of during my poly band days as i played the important solo parts during my final year concert. one of my section mates wanted to play the solo and other cue parts but i felt that he is not ready yet as he still need lots of work. but he don't seem to realise it and i got irritated. i am not that fantastic myself. i need to practice as i am not at my peak like i was before (especially during the national band competition) . but seeing him feeling so good about himself and not being realistic and humble enough just turns me off. i told ms my frustration. definitely we have different views and goals in our section. we don't play and sound together. the concert is so near and i am getting worried. especially bad as i'm working and i can't put in as much time as i want to practice. the feeling of having someone who learnt the instrument for a year telling you (with an experience of over 10 years of playing) to play the notes at the accurate length seems inappropraite to me....in a way....a bit offending.....although i agree i make mistakes when i play. anyway, i am going to try my best to put this section together for the concert.
Last night I attended hh's wedding at Sheraton Towers. The food is really good, one of the nicest that i have ever eaten at wedding dinners. hh was beautiful in her wedding dress. most importantly, she looked happy. i wonder if i will ever feel happy just like her. i also got to catch up with lc, don and the others. chatting and taking photos with them brought back the feelings of poly days again.....time really flies.....oh i got to see jy wearing a dress for the first time! So pretty!
Had dinner earlier at TCC. i tried their beef and spaghetti gratin. it taste nice but i got tired or gelat of it after a few bites as i find the taste too overpowering. or maybe because i had a creamy soup before the gratin....hmmm....
New year resolutions....it difficult to keep to it when you purposely want to do it. for now, i just want to look forward to the future. never ever look back.
