all’s well, that ends well
Phew! so the 2 nights were Great! it was a blast and a lot of ppl came to watch. the casts were good, backdrop, props, lights & sound, dancers & musicians - terrific! Even tho, the preparation in the beginning was crazy backstage, everyone waiting to be painted and dressed, kids running here and there, teens doing their crazy n LOUD stuffs, aunties chatting and busying away… hehehe!
all in all, it was worth the work, the effort and the time put in.
just then i was recalling something that i’ve put so much attention and effort into - but in the end, i got so disappointed and depressed over it; something so not worth at all!
when i was in F6 in sxi, i joined the Boards, and i was in d Traffics. there are 5 departments; classrooms, prefects, librarians, breaks and traffics. worked hard for it, i actually had to wake up at 5.30am every morning, walked like 2KM to get to the busstop to catch the FIRST morning bus at 6.15am. Maaan, it was a cold, dark and scary journey. cold breeze, dogs howling, shadows shifting…*shivers* and sometimes even through the rain i’d walk. i’m starting to wonder now, why in the world did i put so much commitment in it and get NOTHING out of it. seriously, NOTHING! like so what if i get best duty on that day or watever crap lah… it was so heartbreaking, can’t even be compared to the times when i joined RC during my secondary days, that at least i was learning something.
well, nvm… the past is the past. we learn from mistakes. but what i’m trying to get at is that, i’d much rather be committed and put all my effort [cry n sweat :-)] for the things that have ‘eternal value’. i’d much rather choose to work for a Being who loves me not because for the things i do for Him or for who i am, for the One who created and who holds the world in His hands, who is Greater and Bigger than anything in the world, someone whom i love.
and He’s worth EVERYTHING!!
