The office has planned an Away Day.. all the way in Lumut! We're staying in Swiss Garden (will review later)..
For now lemme just share my trepedition and bewilderment when I was told that I am to be part of the committee...hahaha actually I don't really mind the work since I actually love planning an event... but the thought of spending time away from Jellybean got me into an upset of mega proportions.. over I know..hahaha but I have never spent a night without her.. so it is inconceivable to me..
Added on to that.. I was told much earlier that during the performance review for 2012 it was requested that I had to participate as an emcee!! Oh m gee... hahaha me??! I can do it... (so I chanted for the past 3 weeks) but my nerves are freyed and I tried to find so many many reasons not to go...
But my sense of caution and survival (work place is a battle ground for small wormy like me I tell you!) :) kicked in... so this is what I did...
1. Begged..coerced and arranged for my sister and her family to come along.. brought both maids.. booked connecting rooms...
2. Prayed and jaga my voice during the drive towards Lumut... just recovered from bad cough and flu
3. Smiled and braved my way through the meetings and discussions
4. Connected with my emcee partner
5. Took charge and prepared a script for the night
So here I am in Lumut... drove for 5 hours.. over 200km..longest lone driving ever.. hehe it was kinda exciting..
Last night was my emcee-ing night.. and it went well... Alhamdulillah. .. as my partner said... jgn takut..takde sape nak marah pun... hahaha think the whole dept who knows me knows how quiet I am.. and how I hate being in the lime light...
But I kept in mind that no one is actually looking at me... people are bz eating and waiting for their turn to perform.. hehehe.. it worked... with prayers to God of course... my hand held steady (inside joke with my bff) and my voice was loud and clear...and script went well... err if not very interactive.. :)
Thats it.. for now ;)
