What a week it’s been! I’ve been absolutely flat out at work and had a packed weekend as well. Surprisingly, I’m not as tired as I expected. Maybe just a little stressed out what with multiple users emailing me about their frustrations with errors in the new system enhancements. It would certainly help if we were given sufficient training as to what the new functionalities are supposed to do and how it works. Argh…
Anyway, the highlight of the weekend was the annual City2Surf fun run. It was my second time participating and this year I did it with the Chan Clan team – Dad, my sister & 2 younger brothers.^^ Dad and I ran the first and the last kilometres with some brief sprints in between, whilst the boys and my sister ran their own races. The weather was fine during the race but rain started to fall when we were queuing up for the bus. Thank goodness it was only for a few minutes because we ended up waiting at least 2 hours before it was our turn to get on a bus. And still, we had to stand for the entire journey back to the city. Traffic to Bondi really sucks.
After the fun run, I participated in the filming of a DVD music clip for the World Peace Assocn (as part of the community choir I joined a few weeks ago) where I was standing on stage for a few more hours. In between takes when the cameramen and lighting guys were doing their stuff, someone in the choir would start singing some random song and everyone else joined in, including members of the orchestra. Other times, someone in the orchestra would start playing something and the choir would sing along. Surprisingly, my legs held me up and, all in all, it was a fun and interesting experience.
Before I sign off, I just want to say a special thank you to those who sponsored my City2Surf team in raising over $1300 for the Leukaemia Foundation. Thank you for your generous support! I know there's not much time left, but donations are still open via the below webpage until the end of August...^^
