Hello! It's been about a week and a half since I last posted. Plenty of things has happened since then but most memorable was definitely my dream come true of organizing an amazing race. (Admittedly it wasn't on a super large scale.)
All the work of printing the envelopes, thinking up the clue cards, researching on how to create tear away envelopes and especially cutting up the clue cards and the sleeves! I'm quite thankful that although things didn't go exactly as planned, it went along smoothly and most importantly, everyone enjoyed themselves. God also blessed us with cool weather, it wasn't scorching like when we went to check out the place the last two times and it wasn't storming like it was early in the morning on the day of. Dinner was amazing and service was impeccable (I'm definitely going back there again in the future! The food was exceptionally good!)
Frankly speaking, I'm desperately trying to hold on to the high from successfully pulling off the amazing race to tide me through the next couple of weeks. Although the up coming weeks are not as hectic (although that's probably putting it a bit mildly - my hours at the office are slipping away from me by doing ad-hoc things which then cuts into the time I need to complete the things I really have to do resulting in plenty of hours of over time), they definitely will be packed full with important items that I have to successfully execute to ensure that the final event is fully prepared for.
And this event I'm referring to is the Trendsetter in Lombok (seems like a nice enough location but the lack of direct flights from Singapore was terribly frustrating). Despite the fearful knowledge that I have to pull this off with at least some resemblance of success (this being equated with working within the budget, ensuring all guests are at least satisfied, if not, content & most obviously, not being given the boot), I'm actually looking forward to pulling it off and hoping whatever mistakes I do make are forgivable & will help me gain more experience for future events. I've finally just completed at least 50% of creating my TS file. Hopefully by this weekend, before I go for my recee trip next week, it will be fully functional!
Another thing I'm super glad for is this new phone and that I have downloaded my blogger application. I think writing (even if not handwritten) is an excellent way for me to stretch my brain and thus allow me to fully focus on work when necessary. I do find that I need to have better concentration because I tend to multi task (as usual, were you actually surprised at all?) and some things are getting lost in the cracks.
Okay, I probably should head to bed before I end up a zombie tomorrow at the office. I will try to probably make a schedule to post regularly, even if there's no one reading this, and hope it develops into a healthy habit! Thanks for stopping by, take care & be good to one another! (:
