settled mission impossible
just came back from one of the most tiring days of my life! the whole day was filled with music, the object of my passion, and i was on the ball when my attention towards music needed to pull through. well, that is about the only time i come alive anyway, right? so yup.
the day started at 5:30am; the birds haven’t even begun chirping. i dragged myself out of bed (had a late night again due to a busy friday), went for one of the coldest showers in my life (the air was just too cold) and ironed my pants. ok, the rest of my prep sequence needn’t be reported so i got out of my house at 6:30am. travelled to NCHS, reached slightly late, sorted out a few things and some mild warm up, then we headed to Mayflower Sec! i was still quite ’seh’ anyway.
ran through pieces in the prep room, did some minor tuning, and consoled some poor soul who was too stressed up to play properly. she nearly cried (i was so worried that she would), but luckily she didn’t. mentally prepared them for what was up and we went to the hall. after that i was basically sidelined with nothing much to do. and i suddenly became the NCHS teacher-in-charge. Mr Tan claims to have forgotten my name. seems like it isn’t the only thing he forgot. haha.
listened to 5 schools in all, including NCHS, and i did my own evaluation. learnt a few good things, saw a few bad things. and then one of the worst moments of my day… sitting around doing nothing, wondering about loads of things, mentally lamenting my predicament and such. had a talk with Mr Ting about teaching as a career, and realised that i probably should get back my piano skills again. not that i have much to begin with
maybe i’m petty. i dunno.
anyway, i was rather lost after i left the school. rushed lunch and just hailed a cab since i was really in the middle of nowhere. and i was so sleepy i fell asleep many times during the cab journey. when i finally reached, i had to really get my things prepared really fast, as the rehearsals have started. tiring rehearsal, silly management problems, trouble with the school timings and well… it was just a whole big mess.
i think i’ll end here. i know it’s abrupt, but i’m really falling asleep. dozed off again. sharks. ok, i promise to update REAL soon
