Has been long time dint "update" here.
After those trips with friends in KK then my parents visited me and another friend from bintulu also visited me in KK end of november-early December.
After that was busy with students' exam (Guild Examination) because i need to play for accompaniment for my violin student.
Finished up with the exam, next coming was preparing for the mini recital (main purpose is for christmas celebration as well). However, it was last minute plan so everything was in a rush and keep busy until 19th December.
About the Mini Recital on 19th December..the time, my colleague n I decided about this recital was on the 5th December (right after my students' exam). Rushing to print out the invitation card (informing the parents), preparing students for their pieces or christmas song as well as i did some arrangement for my violin students to be play in a group, preparing certificate and gift for them etc and etc. Rehearsal was on 16th (tues night) and that was the only time i group my violin students to rehearse in group together and lucky it wasnt sound too bad because what actually worried me was all of them will be in different tune as most of them cant play in tune accurately. But thanks God that wasnt too bad and i only need them to listen carefully to the keyboard intro as it was also last minute plan for that and asked them to go back home to practice well their tune. After the rehearsal, my colleague n I need to arrange the programs for that night and we did until very late. On thursday night then we print out the program notes..needed 100 copies and the printer with that old computer do not work well, need to keep restarting the computer and etc make me so frustrated plus i need to rehearse with my colleague for our duet christmas song as well...huh...tired tired and i did till quite late that night as after finish printing i did some decorations (little bit only).
On the day (19th December)..
I reached my school around 4.15pm and the worst thing is...the chairs werent there yet and everything wasnt actually ready for the recital that evening...huh..and the 2 admin colleagues also dont want to help me up when the chairs were arrived around 5pm..i need to carry extra chairs from inside all by myself with my high heels..huh, make me so tired. Besides that, need to carry keyboard out from the room and the tables as well..huh....tired tired.
Planned to be start on 6pm but we dragged until 6.30pm then we start as many students came late and we need to arrange their order as well plus the setting up of the mic and amplifier also not yet done as we need other colleague to help up as they still teaching. However, we managed to start on 6.30pm.
Thanks God that everything went fine that evening eventhough lots of students dint turn up as well. However, the most embarrassing thing was the air-conditioning there was too bad until everyone was "suffer" the hot there as many of the air-con didn't work. Really felt bad and sorry to those parents n guests. Anyway, important was we managed to put students on stage and i think it would be a great experience for them. Thanks God for everything went smoothly except for the aircond but i apologize to the guests at the end of the recital and hope they understand our situation.
Overall, I felt "success" for this recital as i was glad for my violin group as they did quite well during the recital..it amazed me actually because they did much much better than during the rehearsal and i have this one little 5-years old boy in the group and everyone was noticing about him because looked so cute on that small violin..haha. Besides that, thanking God that i dint mess up my performance with my colleague as i was playing violin solo because i think i was too tired and hungry until that last performance (coz ours was last items) my hand was actually keep shaking (but not nervous) could be I was too tired liaw..haha..but lucky we ended quite nice and both of us work well also. Thanks God for that.
That was my last day of working there in 2008. After clearing up everything (refreshment), putting back the chairs etc then back home.
Next thing i needed to do was packing as i came back home the next day (20th December). Was waiting for the day until it come coz this time both my brothers back home from australia. However, what make me tired again was, on that day, when we reached trusan ferry there...OMG, the que was long like what, we queued there for about 3 hrs. Huh, fainted liaw. In the end i reached home around 7pm. Whole day again.
However, Thanks God..at least im back home again. Really felt Home Sweet Home.
Today, 29th December..supposingly back to KK today already, but my friend suddenly change her mind as im following her car back to KK. So need to wait till 31st December and im going to miss meeting my friend as this few days they r visiting KK. Hopefully when i back on 31st still managed to meet for a while..else i really felt sorry for the promised.
Another year going to end..New Year is coming...I wish that my coming year will be better in everything (lifestyle, working days, friends surrounding and etc).
