[Intermission : 2 weeks in Singapore for the festive Raya. break from work. time to blog]
It's been close to 4 months since i started and last posted up anything on the blog. rehearsals for the Ismail -the last days musical had been very intense. More intense were the performances itself - 6 shows a weeks for 21 shows. leading to the Merdeka day - Aug 31st. And to top it off, it was a mad rush between work too (the constant race to complete as much work as possible so that one can rush off office beofre 6pm to make it in time for the 6.30pm cast call!) But nevertheless it was all worth it. It was indeed a wonderful experience to be given the opportunity to be performing in the ensemble of my very first musical! the experience and people were really fun. And the support from friends/family and colleagues especially made it all worthwhile. :D Oh, one of the task/to-dos when i get back is to go for vocal classes - i just wanna get my singing confidence and see how i do (hopefully when i get in another musical in the future i'll actually sing more!)
Post the production, somehow work seem to speed up (kinda remind me of the F1 finals which i was supposed to watch earlier btw however i was too drowsy post breaking fast.. :p). It speed up so much that i was staying back a lot after office hours. It was kinda of a mixed feeling knowing that u have lots of work to do though sometimes you wish that you need more time for life outside of your work. Anyway, there was finding a new place to move to task to juggle on top of work.
I've finally got a place (and changed my address from Ampang, Selangor to Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, not that it make much of a difference though it prob would save me RM5 per taxi ride though). This was way overdue. I've always known/planned that i would move place/get new housemates so that my experience in Malaysia would be richer. Furthermore, i thought it'd be such a waste if i didnt get the chance to live with Bumiputeras in my 2 years in M'sia. Plus staying with them will hopefully give me the chance to improve my BM (bahasa malaysia) - i still am not very comfortable with doing interviews in BM, though of course there's an increased in confidence comparing to when i first came over. Anyways, I managed to somehow juggled work (reports/ observing groups, etc) with the task to paint my room (which was really fun cause i get to choose the paint/get equipment e.g. ladders, etc and learn to paint decently too!) Another task when i get back from Sg is to MOVE to the new place!
Oh yes amidst catching up on work adn finding/painting my new room I did manage to attempt to sit for my Basic Road theory in M'sia. Unfortunately i only managed to take it twice before the year expired!! And more unfrotunate is that i didnt pass! Well, its ok i'm not good with numbers guess have to memorize those demerit points/ duration of eligibility in the future. So yes, another task will be to pass my Basic Road theory and taking car licence (or bike - yes im still not very decided.. I just know i have to take at least either one so that my 2 years in KL would be even more fruitful).
Back in Singapore, I have lots of catching up to do with people i miss especially my friends! (ok, family too). Perhaps i shall post another on things to do/things achieved in my 2 week break eh?
