How should I start this? Let's see...
At the moment, my coursemates and I are busy with our upcoming dramatization and a dinner function for the final year students. Rehearsals/practices are getting more frequent as the D-days are getting closer. It's really stressful and tiring but we've got to go through everything eventually. So, there's no point of complaining.
Few weeks ago, a friend of mine approached and asked me whether I wanted to take the emcee job for the coming event (i.e. Malam Ambang Graduan). I was quite reluctant initially but decided to volunteer myself as the committee desperately needed persons for the slot. I took the offer as I would be working with my own coursemate. So, the chemistry is there. No sense of awkwardness.
There's nothing glamorous about being an emcee. That's my personal thought. As a matter of fact, it is quite a stressful job as it is part of the emcee's responsibility to ensure the smoothness of the event and even to make it lively - not mundane. Stressful eh? Anyhow, this time around I'll be emcee-ing in Bahasa Melayu in a major event. Wait a sec. This is going to be my first ever major event. An event with lots of VVIPs. *Stress level rises*
The first rehearsal went not really well. I've been stopped so many times and mostly because of my stress and intonation! Little did I know my stress and intonation in Bahasa Melayu sucks! I was told I can't even read out the 'pantun' well. I was like...what the heck? That bad? I've got to work on this as the event is just around the corner. Next week to be exact. Oh-my! There'll be more rehearsals after this. So, I've got to polish up as much as possible within the little time frame.
All of the above have messed up my sleeping pattern. I mean like seriously. Recently, I've started the habit of taking nap at odd hours. It's like the whole system is messing up. I frequently feel tired and sleepy. It's not that I don't have enough sleep but I somehow feel the urge to nap/sleep and body feels weak.
I just can't wait to get this thing over. I need to be 'normal' again! I kinda miss those carefree times earlier this semester in which I've got the chance to hang out with friends at any place. It's like I've been sort of like 'abandoning' or should I say 'neglecting' my other friends for not being able to spend time with them. I even feel sorry to the girlfriend as I'm too busy with all sort of things till the extent that I've no time to even give her a call or even send text messages. Sorry babe. I'm really sorry. I love you.
