I felt the need to blow away the dust on my blogging keyboard as I heard the call for "UPDATES!" from my students.
It's not that I've been lazy, but rather, I've been terribly busy, only to be able to take a breather these few days, and unfortunately falling ill after a stretch of being "overworked".
I had just finished running a Ministerial event, and for a three-day period, I saw myself running up and down, here and there and meeting tight deadlines. It didn't help with the numerous changes being made, and all I had to do was to brave myself to adapt to these changes, ensuring that standards of event management wasn't compromised. I hardly had sleep, and even went to work on weekends just to get things in order.
But it was fairly fulfilling that after the whole thing was over, there were praise and accolades for a job well done. Personally, I felt that there was more room for improvement, and it's gotten my rusty gear started again in event management.
I came down with a bad migraine today, and later fever. My doc said I'm down with viral fever but was happy for me that I'm no longer teaching so I don't have to see him so often for throat infection!
Just three weeks back, I ran a workshop on leadership and communication for a group of 40 plus students in Hougang Secondary. Using Emergenetics, the course I did when I was in Hong Kong last year, the students learnt about their strengths and recognised these in the light of leadership. It was pretty fun getting back into the classroom again. And what was more encouraging was the feedback I received - they totally loved it! :)
As for now, I'm keeping my hands busy preparing for my dear brother's wedding. The wedding invites just went out and I'm happy that those who received the invites loved it! :) I'm happy too that I managed to get my bro a good singer and pianist for Mass, and for Msgr Vaz to con-celebrate the Mass. I just now have to take care of the little minute details bit by bit...
I just hope my health keeps up with my enthusiasm! :)
