..:: 746. Emcee duties ::..

after being emcee for (1) friend's wedding and (2) RCY current affairs competition/recognition day on 7 Jul and 21 July, i realised:

1. i need to write down my thoughts before i verbalise them.

2. i think too much.

my brain dont work in point forms, so the more things i tried to recall to say, the higher the chance i fumble over my words. to make things worse, i tend to speak fast. gotta slow down!

anyway i had great time in both emcee jobs cos i had 2 great partners who were spontaneous and willing to "impromptu" to add spice to the boring scripts.

i guess that is how great hosts on tv work, they feed off each other's vibes and poke fun at each other.

chanced upon 8 days horoscope readings:

this looks like a period of hope and renewal. you may be celbrating the end of one personal phase and the beginning of another. in many ways, your role is to make partners feel better.

emcee partners?

on a side note, completed my cadets' commissioning parade and ball. gratifying to see my first batch become officers. hope i have taught them well and they will continue to do well in their units. highlighted to my upperstudy who to "recruit" for the new officers cos when i take over, i will have them! forward planning :)

got to complete my SOP to table for the next conference. i had to stand in for the secretary for that conference... hope everything goes well.

..:: 745. A year on in 2012 ::..

wow my blog site still existed! 2011 has been a blast for me, key events for me were:

- conceptualised the Army HR seminar and run the whole show (with help from my colleagues of course)
- travelled eastern europe (prague, vienna, salzburg, solvenia, croatia) with 2 awesome girls!
- lost my iphone 3G during songkran
- got super sick after europe trip (had morphine for the first time in hospital)
- move to my new job and had trouble keeping up with the tempo :(
- gave up my trip to hongkong and bali

well, had my fair share of ups and downs.

i have one unfinished goal - to complete my ACTA certification.

signing off from my first holiday/leave since start of 2012. where's the work-life balance?
