1st day at work
05-13-08today was first day of work. after work still had to give tuition. better give it today and tmr (tues) before all the night rehearsals start pouring in.
thought it was quite relaxed today. could follow the email styles much better after last year’s exposure to it. am given the operations side to do now. seems pretty interesting. and safe. but yeah would love to see what the europe side is doing. seems like a lot of work is going on there. also, got two ships to literally "take care" of. yikes. perm staff status is much more serious than that of an intern’s! H made me feel as if i got all these responsibility and i’d be liable if anything happens, and i’m supposed to know these two vessels’ positions and updates super well. wah… slightly stress. intern life was pretty much stress-free… lol. oh well, more responsibility more liability but also more $ lol.
bought an eye mask (finally). slept so much better last night. but waking up is a rude shock. like going from total blackness to gleaming brightness.
managed to practise 1.5 hours. not much compared to my usual daily 3 - 3.5 hours but will have to do. i was so tired. had no time to eat after tuition and i think i focused on quality practice more than quality. i cannot imagine shifting back home where i don’t have a place to practice until midnight. cos i think ppl sleep quite early at hdbs.
i can’t wait for wed. it seems to take forever to come. at least i have vj reh then. got something to look forward to after work. =) but then oura is coming down for ntu prac. and i feel like going for ntu prac more cos of the friends and the supper and the friends. but i prefer the music at vj reh. not the players’ standard (ntu is better in that sense) but the sheet music, the score itself. i really hope the conductor doesn’t waste wind time on the strings this time round, esp after i b*tched abt it to him on sat. and i also hope D will be at the prac so that he can drive me back to the west. haha. and maybe then join the ntu ppl for supper. ok i better sleep it’s already 1.30am gosh. i need to find time to practise again tmr.
