my ambivalent attitude

Sunday, March 19, 2006

The stressful week commenced with a light note - HCJC's Chinese Society successfully staged its annual Huang Cheng Ye Yun at VT. I felt a tad guilty while sitting through the 3 pieces of drama, remorseful about the fact that it was my first time ever to attend Huang Cheng, despite the 2 years in HCJC. The mediocre performances of the crew were acceptable but the creative efforts of the storywriters and the scriptwriters were laudable. The finale abstruse drama left a deep impression on me as the theme of office and business politics were explored in an abstract fashion. The only regret probably was not being able to take a photo or two with Sylvester Sim and Silver Ang who were present as a couple.

The 5 1/2 days work that followed were physically and mentally draining, punctuated only by a trip to Party World KTV on Thursday night for YT's birthday. Overtime on Saturday was for the ISP Prof test, which came as a surprise on Friday. (All along, I had thought it was just another normal setup for the Ex next week) Anyway, we received "encouraging" comments from OC and CO that we were decent, not very good, not fantastic.

By the time we wrapped up our work, it was mid-day and I made a long-awaited movie trip to catch Nanny Mcphee. It was rather disappointing though, and I though I was deceived by the shimmering trailer. Coupled with the weariness (after-effect of the setup) I felt which made me fell asleep at certain intervals, I had to stifle my yawns and make myself stay awake throughout the show. :(
