After-concert thoughts... negative ones.

Fug. I left one of my favourite CDs at NAFA LFT last night. It was with the technicians in the control room. Passed it to them to play as house music before the concert began. I don't think they'll return it to me. And I don't think I'll go all the way down just to collect it. I'll just have to hunt for it and buy it again.

Good thing I've already saved the songs in my iTunes.

Concert was good. Not quite in the mood to talk about the success of it and etc though. Am actually quite upset at the loss of our refreshments. They were either misplaced... or STOLEN.

Should do an AAR for the concert. But not sure if I'm actually taking over the job of the OC if I call for one.

It is that hard to have like-minded people in a team??? I'm not asking for everyone to think my way or do things the way I do them...I'm asking for people to THINK. To actually think ahead and try to foresee any possible problems! I'm not the IC of the whole event. I'm not. I just happened to have taken over some roles because I'm more familiar. So once again, conveniently, Ms N will do it because she knows what to do.

So 1 member of the team cannot make it for the concert. That's ok. The other member that's supposed to take over the duties should see the entire thing TILL THE END right?!? Then how can we LOSE the food?? It's such a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! Not to mention, having a whole bus of thirsty and hungry kids.

Ok I try to look at things on the bright side, the kids did not really complain of hunger. They were more thirsty than hungry. So I suppose in future we don't have to cater after-concert refreshments for them?

Which brings us back to the question... are the refreshments for hunger or are they part of the welfare that is provided for the students?

I pick welfare. The kids work so damn hard for the concert, they should deserve something after the concert. I had wanted to buy everyone lollipops or something but I decided against it as I would have far too many things to handle.

I don't feel that we work as a team.

Is it me? Am I too bossy? Should I be the one standing up there thanking the Alumni or should I let the OC do it? Should I have asked the others to say whatever they want to say to the band before we dismissed them? Am I too over-powering? Who should I ask for all these answers?

I strongly suspect they don't mind because the work gets done by me.

What will I be like if I'm having a baby and I have to do whatever I am doing now? One thing is for sure.... I will not use pregancy as an excuse.

Not that she has though... she has not. I have seen others who use pregnancy as an excuse not to do work. Pisses me off.

Hi Huey,
Wonder if u remember me. i'm the one from AC, was a pri. school teacher who commented on your blog months ago. i'm currently in Saudi Arabia, follow my spouse overseas, taking no pay leave for a year. just got broadband so been surfing the net for a while. saw your work schedule... hehehehe miss the craziness of being a teacher or do i? anyways, saw your comment on not making pregnancy as an excuse. before i was married i said the same thing. i said i would not look like those pregnant woman who loook so sick, i'll be rosy and full of fun when i become pregnant. when i do get pregnant, it was really bad. both morning sickness and evening sickness hit me hard. nearly fainted in the morning assembly. i wanted to work just as hard as when i was single but God has other plans. i always have to rush home by 1pm to sleep. puke till i was admitted to hospital due to dehydration. so u c, it depends on the individual. some are the lucky ones, pregnancy is easy for them. some like me, got it so bad that i got a c for my grading (i seldom get a c). i just tested positive for a second pregnancy a couple of days ago. need to confirm it at the clinic though. hopefully, the pregnancy is a smoother one. PS: altho the pregnancy for my first child is tough, the delivery is a breeze. and of course nothing beats having a child into the world.

Hey! Its you! nice to know that you still read what I write even when you're all the way in Saudi Arabia..

Ya I agree with you about the pregnancy part... I tell myself that I will be as energetic as I can even if I have a baby... but it IS all up to how the pregnancy is like isn't it? Will have to let nature take its course..

What are you doing to spend your time in Saudi Arabia now? Full-time mummy? Congrats on your second one!! :-)

I have one more day to the end of the March hols... I dread Term 2!! its Exam term! Oh i'm sure you don't miss any of this... hehe...
