Work's treating me.

Been too long, I hope this is not going to be an overdose. Ytd my colleague and I realised that time has really passed so fast that we already almost halfway into this year and 2 months ever since the new contract started. To think about it, I felt I was a bit too timid to ask for more. Nonetheless, I know that's not exactly what I cared for although it would have helped a bit more now that I need more money for trips and concerts. haha!

Btw, new term has started for the talent programme and I'm kind of skeptical about it, having new instructors, new students I haven't had a chance to talk to all of them (I hope I do in time to come). Starting anything new is never easy (well, taking over wasn't easy too). But new challenges is something we just have to go through in life. I never like too much changes, but I've grown to accept that they will just keep coming after all these years of the unexpected(s). I guess life has taught me through the hard way. 

I don't know how long I will stay here. In fact, I like the place and the people if not for some factors. It's a pity but we all know that we will not be able to stay forever, not even long. This is quite sad, but I guess the colleagues are really people I will continue to contact. We are more like friends than just colleagues which I was quite thankful for. Plus the team is really good to the point that sometimes I feel so clueless and they already have everything done nicely. My team colleagues are so nice they are always trying to take care of us and help us in any way they can, like just random chat, sharing food, offering to drive us out/back after work. Really greatful to meet such nice people. Just today (1 June), I had a great chat with them over working at the band orientation programme. Next session onwards, I'm gonna be alone there again. But well, accept and take it with stride (my moto now).

For the other team, I am thankful that the students, or rather, members, are really kind of nice. They are experienced, and sometimes too outspoken, but I'm glad they could talk to me, and not treat me like some transparent. And in fact, I was quite touched that a few of them actually thanked me for being there for the rehearsals and going through all these. Honestly, music has always been my passion, doing an orchestra work has always been my dream (just that I'm a bit clueless here sometimes because of the inconsistency), and here I really still have a lot to work on. But I've also told my other colleague doing the youth sinfonia, that I know it's going to be difficult, but I will take it with stride and do whatever I can. Actually I said this only to encourage her because she was feeling uncomfortable with it at first. And probably she's going through what I felt last time - i.e. not liking changes. But sometimes we just got to change, and I'm getting her to accept that, I think she is and I'm happy for her. 

It's hard work lately, so much so I haven't had chance to get myself a weekday off day even though I worked for a few saturdays. I'm so gonna have it next week. Accumulated too many hours, I think I have enough for my TW trip, without the need to take any AL. HAHA! 

I think I should sleep soon. Been falling sick too much lately. Started with the sore throat and fever, then the swollen blistered up bites, and then some blocked nose. Okay, I haven't slept so late ON PURPOSE for a long time. I said that because I was forced to - due to the blocked nose, and the itch on the bites most of the time. Other than the nights I had the drowsy medicine from seeing the doctor, the rest of the nights were pretty bad. In the sense I totally have no mood to put on any make-up in the morning because my thought was I want to get to sleep faster when I return home at night. Some days I really looked terrible my colleagues asked me what happened to me. But still, everyday I went through the same torture of having new mosquito bites, scratching them a bit here and there, and having some with awful blisters. It was the blisters that forced me to the doctor because the first few turn really bad I couldn't even walk properly. My arms and legs (mostly the left) are covered with red swollen patches from bites, time to time. It's kind of gross and I have done all I can to prevent bites but still, in the end I had like 4 on my face. =.= I really need all these to stop like soon or even, right now! It's damn unfair, I'm the only one who gets all these bites wherever I was. Some are really painful and/or itchy, I hope they are not leaving scars. TSK! And I already finished the cream given by the doctor to kill the bateria. 

Yup. So that's it. I have to get back to good health condition and skin condition before my dearest cuzzie's big day. I HOPE!
