My pinkie is mine in 2 wks!

Oh man! I cant believe I'm only 2 wks away from my ORD date! So exciting! =)

Anyway, wats new! I have been in front of the computer today and been slogging late nites to complete my publicity stint!.. haix.. its really stressful.. but since I'm given this responsibility, I wanna like do my best.. I dun like slipshot work, and moreover, I'm a perfectionist.. so you shld koe me rite.. =)

And I have spend the whole day finishing up the last bit of wats left of the publicity, but of course, its another presentation, so as usual, muz do my best! So instead of ppt (which I'm totally out of ideas already), I did a video-cum-photos video presentation by using Windows Movie Maker.. I used it last time for my friend's farewell gift, and found it a very powerful media, so I decided to use it this time for the presentation.. so ya.. Though I have spend like the whole day doing up the videos (like adding in subtitles, titles to the video, slide titles, etc), it somehow cldn't convert into a movie and being saved in my computerl it somehow at like 45%-60%, computer will just hang and I hate it! U shld have see how angry I was lah!
Then came an SMS from my bro, Andrew, tat he received an SMS (Andrew is the chairman of the committee tats why!) from my other publicity team member tat he wants to withdraw out from the publicity team.. I was like shocked lah, becos apparently I spoke to him yesterday and he was fine and all, but now this sudden withdrawal! I was angry of course no doubt, becos I'm like slogging here and now he wants to withdraw.. I find it tat it isnt fair at all lah! Moreover, I'm doing most of the publicity; he is juz in charge of 2 videos and the designing of the camp booklet.. so ya.. I koe tat the 2 videos will take him a whole lot of time, so therefore, I agreed to do all the minor publicity stuff like ppt and designing forms, and moreover he needs to study, so ya.. haix.. Apparently, one of my seniors in my youth koes abt this and wat I koe is tat this senior of mine is trying to change the mind of my other publicity team-mate.. haix.. wonder wats the outcome.. haix.. juz hope everything goes well lah, or else ah.. I dun koe how to handle all these myself! I have been spending sleepless nites on my publicity things liaox and now have to like worry abt other stuff.. haix.. sometimes I really wonder how I handle so much stress all at the same time? Its like worst than studying for my poly exams.. everything is like I'm trying to complete before I start work.. so ya.. haix..

I actually wanted to go for a swim or sumthing today, but somehow I juz cant leave aside my publicity stuff..

So after which (I was still trying to convert it into movie but still fail.. computer still hang), I gave up and I went over to AMK to buy chicken rice for dinner (ya.. mum not cooking, so she call me go buy chicken rice, and I suggested AMK.. she said ok.. so ya.. haha..)..

So I watched TV until I fell asleep!! I slept at 0300 yesterday and woke up at 0930 this morning.. juz suddenly woke up.. sianx.. but I slept not for long whilst watching TV.. I woke up juz in time for dinner and whilst eating, I was like still thinking abt whether my video wld be converted successfully; if cannot, wat muz I do?.. haix.. this makes me really cant enjoy my dinner lah.. haix..

Then at 2100, on computer and start to convert the movie.. it took me 30 mins to like try to switch to other formats to see whether it can work.. and after much trying, I managed to do it and somewhat managed to like find out wats the problem.. and the problem is tat wat I trying to convert initially is like a 80MB file, but then the one tat I changed to other format is only 9MB.. so ya.. so I was thinking tat probably my com is real lousy, so tats why.. haix..

So managed to convert it successfully at 2230 loh! Of course, before the successful conversion, my computer hang 2-3 times.. haix..

Then send to my bro, Andrew, to vet.. fortunately he said no problem, or else ah, I will peng-san..

Then 1 problem solve, I got another problem: my worship songs for church for the nxt 2 services.. apparently, there are changes in order of songs, words to be cancelled of, songs added with no chords, and one song which requires me to find the chords and type and transpose the key.. u want to koe wat's worse? I got to finish all these by Saturday (07/10).. so ya.. so its like this is more impt than my publicity stuff becos of the time lah.. haix..

I was like fwah! One problem solved and another juz keeps on coming.. Then my publicity is not like finished yet ya koe.. I still got like 3-4 more things to do and I dun koe when I can finish them.. I got 2 wks to finish them, and I dun wanna spend the 2 wks juz to do all these stuff! I wanna get it over and done with! I koe when I start working, my life is gonna be real busy.. so ya.. haix..

So after 2 hrs, I managed to finish the worship stuff, and then now, take off some time to blog loh.. haix.. I actually want to like continue doing my publicity stuff, but then time now is like 0115 and I'm getting very tired.. haix.. guess I have faced the computer for a long time liaox.. haix.. =(

Ok.. so I wld think tml then I do lah.. now, its time to turn in.. haix.. oopss.. time now is 0120.. need to sleep liaox.. Goodnitex ppl, and cya tml! =)

** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 14 DAYS to ORD!!

I miss you dear pinkie,
