Reflections.

Generally, a lot of thought was put into the planning of the staff retreat.

I had fun in some areas, totally bored in some, extremely irritated at some points.

We had plenty of fun though, lots of laughs, lots of smiles, and some craziness. but just wasn’t in the mood to totally let loose. i am so bloody tired nowadays. 

Hmm. 

I also had a near death experience. the feeling was so surreal, and for that moment. time froze, but no, my life didn’t flash before my eyes. only a tinge of regret for so many things that i had yet to accomplish.

So much to do, and yet. so little time. a common statement, a common way of thinking. but when we really wanna do something, we will find the time to do it. true ? i think so.

I’m gonna go sign up for courses to learn things that i wanna learn. gonna start reading the stuff i wanted to read. and do certain things that i feel i need to do.

Hiding one’s feelings from others for too long. its a pain. but i dun wanna break my golden rule yet again, considering what happened the last time round. god. what a mess. but i might just ‘fess up one day. we’ll see.

On a different note, Itunes visualisations are mad. fantastic and extremely trippy. i can stare at it for hours on end.

fantastic. its now 45 minutes away from monday. sigh.

One song that struck me today

 

 

She was staring out the window
Of their SUV
Complaining, saying,
I cant wait to turn 18
She said, “I’ll make my own money”
And I’ll make my own rules”
Mama put the car in park 
Out there in front of the school
And she kissed her head
And said ‘I was just like you”

You’re going to miss this
You’re going to want this back
You’re going to wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re going to miss this

Before she knows it
She’s a brand new bride
In her one bedroom apartment
And her daddy stops by
He tells her “It’s a nice place”
She says “It’ll do for now”
Starts talking about babies
And buying a house
Daddy shakes his head
And says “Baby just slow down”

Cause 
You’re going to miss this
You’re going to want this back
You’re going to wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re going to miss this

Five years later
There’s a plumber
Working on the water heater
Dogs barking, phones ringing
One kids crying, one kids screaming
She keeps apologizing
He says “They don’t bother me.
I’ve got two babies of my own.
One’s 36, one’s 23.
It’s hard to believe…”

But 
You’re going to miss this
You’re going to want this back
You’re going to wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re going to miss this
You’re going to miss this
Yeah you’re going to miss this

The Busy Weekends

The weekends have been packed of late.

2 coaching sessions on saturday,

another on sunday, along with the alumni training.

Kallang has been becoming more packed of late, the constant buzz of activity is heartening to see, and like i once said, we’ve finally gone mainstream. fantastic.

I was also invited to a private movie screening of Indiana Jones and the crystal skull.

to be honest, its not that great. its like alien’s hand, then the elongated heads, and tadaaa… Aliens. 

Its so predictable, using stories already told, and throwing them into a melting pot.

Spielberg has not outdone himself. Goodness. The aliens look like a slightly meaner version of ET. jeez.

its just so bleah. But then again it was free, and i was seated in the front row. i.e. neckache territory!

ah well. aliens, pyramids, gold, knowledge, school, Indiana’s wild caper, surviving a nuclear blast. whoo.

 

Back to another work week. but with very reasonable hours. hehehe.

Welcome to my life

I am starting over, with a new beginning, new post, new blog, time to start anew. the previous blog will be kept for memories’ sake, but it won’t be active anymore.
