emcee

emcees. i don't quite understand how people (or rather my friends) choose their emcees. if they knew how much stage fright and zero stage presence i have, they probably won't choose me. but as much as i have stage fright, i would really love to overcome it too. so now, i am going to be emcee at two weddings. and on top of that, i have to give a speech at another.

maybe this is God's way of telling me that i have a future in that direction. well, perhaps. but we won't know until all this is over. so let's just wait and see what happens.

i just hope i don't disappoint my friends who have put such great faith in me. i will do my best! :)

leave

i am once again, on leave. medical leave, that is.

but all my leaves haven't been much of a leave (and that includes both medical and annual leave) when people still expect you to reply their emails and call you at least three to five times a day. sigh.

okay, shan't complain anymore since this is going nowhere. i kinda feel i owe them too much to be too ji jiao on these matters. though i really do wish i could have some real leave. maybe that's why i really don't mind going on no-pay leave if i can't work from home.

i wonder how long this condition will last this time. according to the doctor, it seems that i will be ridden with this for at least the next few years. i definitely won't be well so soon. i wonder when i can continue my life again. two years. some people said it has only been two years and i am considered to have recovered rather quickly. some others have commented, it's already been two years - you should be up and running, why are you taking so long? well perhaps those weren't the exact words, but they definitely kind of meant that.

talking about it like this makes everything sound so grim. definitely feel the tears coming on. but well, i know this is just yet another obstacle i have to overcome (they just keep coming, don't they?), so i will get through this! of course, with the help of my really supportive family, friends, and the big man upstairs (you do hear me, don't you?). i'm no longer going to put a date to when i can do this or that. i guess i'll just have to live by the day for now. and i will stay happy! :)

amen.
