Sigh...

Didn't manage to blog over the past week...just didn't have the mood. Initially was simply too lazy *heh* Subsequently during the later part of the week, I was too tired and busy to. Well, it's a Saturday nite, and just finished watching some soccer and drama on my cable, so decided to log in and pop by.

It sure doesn't feel like a Saturday nite now...perhaps coz I stayed home the whole of today. One of my frens invited me to a movie, but I was just too exhausted to go out I guess. I had to cover an event this morning, at the NTUC Centre at One Marina Boulevard - SLF Educational Tour Awards. I was disappointed with my performance today. I was supposed to go on behalf of one of our clients. However, for one thing, I didn't capture good pictures. For another, though my other clients were there, I didn't manage to capture their photos.

Ok, some of you guys would be really confused at what I'm driving at. For the former: Normally when I cover events (cover meaning take pictures, do interviews and doing everything involving the event), I would have to thicken my skin and go right up to the front to take pictures. Perhaps it was the auditorium style, or perhaps it was the lady from NTUC who told me I couldn't take pictures. But whatever it was, somehow I just didn't do my usual magic. I felt nervous about taking pictures (coz the NTUC woman said I couldn't - of coz that was not true), like someone would shoot out from nowhere and tell me to get lost. Arghhh! I'm just so frustrated....

For the latter: I was there under the invitation of one of our clients (which was one of the many Unions), and I knew that some of our other clients (which were some other Unions as well) would be there too. The thing is, I didn't know the sequence in which they would be going on stage to collect their awards, so I had to be on standby and wait by the side. And...I missed. Sigh...too slow, too late. Well, I did do what I was supposed to do...that's 100% completed. But normally when I cover events or conduct interviews, I always want to go away feeling I've completed 110%...And this time I certainly didn't. It really got me feeling down. *sob*

I have another event to cover on Monday morning at SingPost Centre at Paya Lebar. It will be the InfoComm National Day Observance Ceremony (NDOC). I was supposed to go for another two other NDOCs last week, one at Changi Airport Term 2 and HDB Hub, instead of this coming one, but I had taken ill, and missed those. I hope I won't mess up the coming one. Sianz...
