i wonder which band is on the first episode tonight. i'd like to catch the episode on wicked aura though. heard that their challenge was really tough. bedouin's shootings for this show was quite a long process. starting from the end of last year until a couple of weeks ago, i suppose the best shooting was when it was held over at zouk. i guess you guys have to go and watch it to find out why. seeing my sweetheart on tv(again!!) makes me heart swell with joy and pride. seeing the rest too on their success also makes me really proud of them. i saw the programme advertisement yesterday night. i knew it was the programme ad when i heard yed's voice and saw his face right there on the screen for all to see. there were of course other bands featured. at least i know the behind-the-scenes of a shooting when i followed bedouin for a couple of the shootings over at zouk and at the recording studio. finally, we'll all be able to see the finished product of their hard work but i don't think fauzi will get to see it! he'll be in camp! i wonder, anyone volunteers to help record that episode?? *grins like a cheschire cat*
my weekend has never been better. went to the keris dinner and boy, was i suprised! the organising committee sure did up the place well. no wonder they told us to be in formal wear! though the food was served buffet style, it was a great dinner with bubbly grape juice by the side. hehehe... would have been romantic if fauzi hadn't eaten his food with his hands! khekhe.. the dinner was a great way of getting everyone(well almost) together. after the dinner, the presentation and performance by yed and doc, we packed up everything and headed to admiralty. fauzi was really tired so we went back home soon after. sunday was even more fulfilling. we met up early and took our time doing things. we were supposed to go to a wedding reception at bukit gombak but fauzi had to pack his camp stuff and get ready to book back into camp. after booking back into camp, i took my time going back home and coincidentally met apok, ahmad and yed in the train who were from town with the ayangs. hung out for a while at admiralty where we waited for bob nasir, i massaged yed in his excuse of helping him pass his tp this morning(and he did pass so congrats to yed!), apok, ahmad and me waited for aida who in the end didn't come down due to unknown reason before heading home due to the drizzle. i immediately slept upon reaching my big, comfortable queen-size bed. khekhe...
and today is slacking day. i shall just slack at home with practically nothing to do before i slog tomorrow to do my lesson plan and get ready for work on wednesday. i am now a full time childcare teacher with the yishun branch of mymca! wooo... so exciting. i have a stable career, a stable income, lovely friends, my dreams and a wonderful, sweet, thoughtful, romantic boyfriend. life cannot get any better! i feel blessed, truly blessed. but life's not complete yet, that's for sure. there's much more that i can only achieve later in life like marriage, children, family. those will be the true recognitions of my existence here on earth. for now, i am content... and i thank the Almighty for all that he's bestowed upon me, no matter good or otherwise. i truly am thankful and grateful... :)
