Annoyed

2008-07-29T04:01:00.000-07:00

is to say the least .. A friend just told me about Joe's blog post.

Its one thing to not see eye to eye on something .. but to make it so publicly known by posting it on a blog without a hint of tact or subtleness? Hurt, frustration and anger is just the tip of the iceberg of my emotions right now ..

Im going to be the better man and just leave it at that

Instant

Today's dinner...

I know Ive been missing for quite a bit. The past week has been crazy hectic that I havent really had much time for anything let alone blogging. First week of uni was crazy, a pile of assignments have already formed.. already ! first week !! is there no more compassion in this world ?!

Preparations for MGM is coming along pretty well. We've got dance rehearsals about 2 times a week and for the days we *dont* have rehearsals Ive been busy producing the play. So my personal life has been pretty much put on hold .. even my dinner has to be instant !Im beginning to wonder if it was such a good idea juggling both the dance and production... too late to back out now ..

At least im having fun while Im at it ! =)

Zach has been really sweet though, he's been my small time personal assistant , stomaching my *occasional* bitch-fits and calming my panic attacks that occurs ever so often

I mean its expected that I'll crack occasionally seeing that MGM is in 26 days

.... omg .... 26 days ! ....*panic*

breathe Alisa breathe .... *chants* it is going to be awesome .. it is going to be awesome ...

On a diffrent note .. IM GOING TO INDIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.... once I can figure out how to get 1000 bucks in 5 months . Mom and dad say they'll foot the rest of the cost but Ive got to be responsible as well and contribute to the trip a bit .. i reckon its a pretty reasonable arrangement

Went job searching earlier and went for walk-in interviews at Gloria Jeans , Krispy Kreme, Starbucks and some other cafes.. I hope I get one .. i think it'll be pretty cool to be a coffee girl ! hehe

Im really praying that plans to India will materialise .. Ive heard so much about the poverty there and the great social and economic divide amongst the people. How the rich are so rich but the poor lie in shambles. Im hoping that finally I'll be able to be there to experience first hand how life is like there and to make a difference. The plan is to do "voluntourism"... if you can be bothered , check it out at

otherwise I'll leave you some pictures !

On circus acts

Have you ever had so much on your mind that you feel completely overwhelmed?

YES ?

Great! Nice to meet you, I’m Alisa and now we have one thing in common

The past couple of months have been so hectic. I feel like my life is running like a circus act right now. I’m the juggler and MGM , studies and my personal life are the props. It has been a challenge trying to keep it all up and to concentrate on each of them while ensuring that the others are not neglected.

At times I feel like I am spreading myself out too thin and I wonder if I should consider letting go of certain commitments and focus more of my energy on just one thing... but at the same time I’m thoroughly enjoying what I’m doing

Yeah sure , the hours of rehearsals I have to oversee as producer for the MGM production, dance practices plus the running around I have to do ensure every detail is well taken care off can sap the energy even from a Duracel battery but at the end of the day I reflect on the day , the people I’ve met , the little obstacles I have had to overcome each day ... I can’t help but feel a sense of achievement. A sense of pride that I’m contributing to something I care about and find meaning in doing

Joe, if you are reading this stop scoffing!!! Bothering about Merdeka is *not* silly okay!

Oh advice to fellow jugglers! Escaping from all commitments on a regular basis really helps you retain you sanity! Just chucking your commitments aside for a while to spend time with your family and taking time to spend with yourself is vital lest you land yourself in Tanjung Rambutan from the stress !

Sleep calls ! Ta !
