Have just finished a mighty long article, so am rewarding myself with a time-out here to do a short entry. *eyes roll* Yeah...as if I haven't done enuff writing huh...Haha..
Yep, it's December already, and 2006 is drawing to a close...in 28 days' time. Scary huh, when you put it in that sort of perspective. I'm getting older...all of us are. But next year, I will be considered "past mid-twenties" *shudders* Oh mannn....
The other day, Sophia (the senior designer) told me about an incident that happened when she gave Isabel (the junior designer) a ride after work. To cut the story short, apparently Adrian, Sophia's fiance, asked about "the younger girl" while they were chatting in the car...In other words, he was referring to me. Thing is...Isabel IS the youngest. Tee Hee...
Ahem. But well, that still doesn't deny the fact that I AM past mid-twenties...and STILL boyfriend-less. Trust me, I AM worried for myself. When will dear Prince Charming appear? Or will he even appear?...I saw this on someone else's blog:
"What if someone you've never met, someone you've never seen, someone you've never known, was the only someone for you?"
*Beads of perspiration already forming on the brim of my forehead*
Good grief no!
Let's not go into this now...
*Whistle whistle whistle*
Ok, talking about Sophia. She has asked me to consider being her emcee at her wedding (!!!) *Not that word too! Okok, I've got to focus here* She will be getting married in late January and the male emcee at her dinner is still partner-less. She reckons that I can do the job, eloquent (more like edgy) and experienced (how about endrogenous...ok I'm not that either). Alrite, my point is, she thinks too highly of me! I did emcee for a good friend two months back, but that's about it...unless presentations and public speaking counts? I am flattered, but I am so scareddd stiff that I would disappoint her or even ruin her wedding. Her wedding is a slightly smaller crowd, but at a grand-er place *shifts nervously*
Those same few questions raced through my mind when she told me of her intention.
What if I'm boring?
What if nobody laughs at my jokes?
What if I'm....
I do recall the trillion butterflies-fluttering-in-stomach feeling, yet adrenaline rush at Audrey's wedding. I even remember telling myself: "Hey, I can get used to this!"...but I dunno...just worried if I can do a good job for Sophia. Especially when she tells me the male emcee is quick-witted and thinks fast on his feet (He's a banker..aka, smart) It's not that I don't want to be her emcee. I would gladly! I mean, how often does someone think you are up to being an emcee and ask u to? Part of me really wants to, but the cautious side of me is worried. Anyways, Sophia thinks meeting up with the co-partner may help to alleviate the awkwardness first, and find out if we can click. Oh well...it's not confirmed yet, so we'll see.
Yeah it's December...means Xmas is coming! My fav holiday of all! Church is doing a Xmas carnival on 23 Dec and all are welcome. There'll be a mini-concert, games and food stalls, etc...Melinda has roped me in to help her co-ordinate the logistics aspect for the stalls. After getting the opportunity to go into the communication ministry to do editorial, I'm really glad & thrilled to have this chance to be used. I do want to be more involved in the church and people. But much as I'm keen to contribute, I'm kinda worried if I will screw anything up. Too green, perhaps? But it would be good training for me I guess. Looks like this December is going to be hectic still...lotsa events to cover (work), meetings & co-ordination (church), I think.
I am supposed to clear 9 days of leave by this year (leftover from last year), but at the rate things are going (with work and outside work), I think it's not really possible to take any leave this month...much lest CLEARING leave (Yep I still have ridiculous deadlines to meet). I had intended to do a short trip with Lyn to Bangkok during mid-Dec (retail therapy), but after discussions with Audrey, we have decided to postpone it to mid-Jan, so that more people can possibly join us on the trip. And if everything goes as planned, I'll ask boss to let me delay "clearing" the leave to Jan 07 at least. Yayy...I sure hope things will work out fine.
My cell group is going to have a potluck gathering on Xmas eve, and a short weekend "retreat" in early Jan. I'm still getting acquainted with them, so I'm really glad for this opportunity. They really are such a nice bunch of ppl.
Ok, looks like Dec & Jan's schedule is out now. And of coz, I'm wondering, with the weekend retreat scheduled to happen on the first week of Jan, the intended Bangkok trip on the second, Sophia's wedding on the third (if I'm her emcee)...rehearsals are gonna be a tad...problematic. Hmm...
Sis coming back tomorrow from her Europe trip...can't wait. I'm still in that I-should-hv-been-on-that-trip mood. Yeah I know...*roll eyes* Ok, have got to hit the sack now. It's 2 already! Waking up early to go run wf mom tomr morning. Life seems good...if not for something missing.
Yawnz...
