holding things together

The week that has just past had been relatively hectic. I didn’t achieve a tremendous lot but it did take out quite a bit from me.

Friday we presented the proposal – something that has been suspended in the air for a while, finally got that settled with the credit going to dearie. he was the one who put up the a huge part of the proposal and presented it. His spirit kept me going; telling me to take it as a learning process and at least we tried, no matter what the outcome.

Leading a group is an uphill task because it’s not just running in the front and expecting the rest to follow behind. I’ve come to realize it’s turning around and telling each one why we do the things we do and running side by side together.

Last Sunday was the Newton run at macrit and I am really thankful for those who responded to the call for turn up. Although dave, brian and ee chuan could not come in the end, I would like to thank them for responding to the call. I understand races take a lot out of us =) Vincent, Eric and Isabel came for the run..and if I could I would have given them all a hug. Thank you guys for the support. That was the first time I have made a call out to the team for support to a run..and thank you all for responding to it. Though I am not sure how much it will go to impact our proposal, but believe me, every bit counts. In fact, sometimes, it’s the little things that count.

It’s knowing I have passionate team mates that make the hard work worth it. Putting up the proposal was challenging…and we stayed up 2 nights to do it..but now as I thought about the friends in the team we’re doing this for, it’s worth it =) I’m not sure how many of the 13 will continue to hold through..but as I penned down the names, I have 9 persons on my mind I felt strongly will hold on till the end.

My mummy and I had an outlandish experience on Sunday. I felt it was foolish in simple terms, because putting a bet to earn $10 at the expense of $600 was not worth at all. Moreover, she didn’t think we’ll walk off like that. C’mon, it’s recession, of course we want to get the best deal. For now, I’m pretty put off by her dishonesty and poor foresight of the consequence. I’ll rather bring my money elsewhere and avoid this shop for a period of time.

Oh yes, look on the footer dearie created for the proposal on the left. it's nice isn't it? and he did it all with PAINT! =D
