Relax… Finally

Over the past month, I completed 4 consecutive exams, 2 full-day seminars, the usual piano lessons, teaching and tuition, family gatherings, skin centre appointments, a wedding photo shoot, 1 DnD, Kbox, catching up with friends, sending Anlin off at the airport and a short trip of 1 week to Melaka. It was really, extremely, absolutely, totally, and completely tiring, except for the time spent in Melaka.

In spite of not knowing where to start telling my tale, I can still sum up my entire month with one word, and that is Hectic.

Saturday, 17 May—Wedding Photo Shoot, Piano lesson, DnD, and drinks
Shuxian, who was supposed to start her day at 0700 overslept again. The unearthly hour is one main reason although she’s been trying to be punctual all the time. However, with her Power-preparation speed and rushing, Shuxian managed to reach Harbour Front in time and on time and even before the Bride and Groom! Besides the bride and groom, everyone present wore old clothes and some even permanently stained, even the camera man, who’s also part of the team. The ride from Seah Im Food Centre car park to Fort Serapong was thought provoking. It hardly felt like it was yesterday when I first started out with the team and *poof* it’s almost 2 years since! Green scenery emphasized that lots of time has indeed passed. For the photo shoot, just imagine wedding gown and tux in a forest, which eventually turned out fantastic!

When that was all done, the whole gang decided to go to City hall for chicken rice. Unfortunately, Shuxian had to rush off to teach and couldn’t stay for lunch. Her poor stomach had to be contented with Happy Meal from MacDonald’s and her poor students might have had a hard time trying not squinch up their noses because she hadn’t had the time to bathe beforehand. And thankfully piano lesson went as usual. Right after piano lesson, Shuxian again hastened home to get ready for her DnD. Her first DnD, it was enjoyable, food was great and the audiences were well entertained. Of course, there were the people who dressed up for the Masquerade theme for us to look at. After the dinner, a few of us went out for drinks at Bukit Timah. I was dozing off even as I sat and mostly listened. Thankfully Peiling sent me home and I collapsed into bed at 0400 the next day.
