Law....Murphy's Law

Remember how i have been talking about Murphy's law in the past few posts...well, i guess this is no exception, especially during the event held yesterday. to begin with, it was a joint event of international chef's day and world children's day.. my organisation was the main organiser for the world children's day.. everything was supposed to turn out right...but it didn't..

Initially, i was supposed to be only in charge of the potato printing session.. but eventually, i had to leave to take over the floor, be the stage manager, and worse... have to become the Master of Ceremony for the concert. OK, it wasn't any formal concert, and is held at the amphitheater... but i was only wearing jeans and a black tank top.. thank goodness i had my padini hoodie..but still, i was drenched in sweat by the time i took the stage to host the event.. haih.

However, looking back, i don't think i am discouraged by what happened. although i wasn't prepared and informed that i have to become the MC, i guess i managed to play it well by ear. got the concert moving even without a prepared speech text... and thankfully not embarrass myself in front of the Chief minister and his entourage. last but not least, am also glad that ppl actually like my voice and my command of the language. i did falter at times, but i guess it wasn't that apparent [had an american guy coming up to me to congratulate me on my skills]. i guess that was the best satisfaction...ah..

Murphy's law also affected me on friday... haha..when i had to teach balance. I was actually early, as i managed to change in the office (about 4.30), left the office at 5 sharp, but still barely made it into the gym by 5.20 (distance between gym and office is about 10 minutes).. silly me, cos i kinda dropped my ipod in the car as i was about to leave the car, and spent another 2 minutes looking for it.. and then there were those horrible drivers who doesn't know how to drive....

moving on, watched disaster movie last friday [with the gals].. so fun to finally catch up on movie with my two besties.. and i dare say, disaster movie was hilarious.. however, am a little freaked out with gremlin-like versions of alvin and the chipmunks.. and boy, that juno baby was freaky.. haha. one thing though.. the protagonist is kinda cute..

am not watching max payne cos was told that it's not nice [boring, in fact]
wanna catch butterfly lovers.....[hopeless romantic]
may catch Quantum of Solace
HSM3....probably, when i am just too bored..haha

random act: skipped gym for the whole week...except to teach balance.. guess the change is kinda drastic, but probably it's for the best...
also..started to change my saturday night programme.. not sure how it may end up.. again, it's probably for the best.

oh, speaking of saturday...went speed hiking up the hills. went up via botanical gardens and took me about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the stop (No 84). it was swift and fast (in fact, i was nearly sprinting). My hiking partner (who used to be better than me in stamina) actually had to stop for some while, complaining that i have developed 'yoga lungs' and was basically sprinting up the hill... haha. if only. in fact, i felt kinda slow, and shouldn't have stopped to wait for him.

well, it was a pleasant hike as the skies were lovely. it's been raining for the past few days and it really drains the mood.. the best part was that we even saw a huge (about 2m) long rat snake.. it was a little funny at first that ppl were actually afraid of it and was waiting for the snake to pass, but me, being a zoologist, could just identify the snake and walked pass it nonchalantly.. haha..
that's the beauty of being a zoologist..

ok, i guess i should stop now, as the post is getting longer and longer.

oh, by any means, i am in a really good mood today (probably it's from the coffee mexican bun from tesco).. haha

ciao
