Don't sweat the small stuff

It hasn't been the best of weeks.....

I've been so flat out...still am. I'm groggily typing this because my mind is not ready to take up another bout of arranging. I'll need to start after lunch though. Arrangement and production is heavy heavy work. No wonder John the Ongstar used to look grumpy and edgy all the time. I can empathize now. And he wasn't paid properly most of the time. At least I'll be paid quite ok I think. The artist I'm working for has a budget. 

But yea, lots of little things have been getting on my nerves. Like waiting for taxis for 10 minutes instead of getting one in 1-2 minutes. Like housemate eating up my beloved pineapple bun I was saving in the fridge. Like needing to walk up the hill in hot sun back and forth from the MRT. Like turning up for a lesson and realizing that they've changed the time and they didn't inform me....and i've wasted 3 hours by traveling back and forth. Like burning the pot ...coz I didn't know it heats up SO fast...in 30 secs it literally turned black. Like needing to miss 'One Thing' conference because traveling would take up too much time.  Like my fan suddenly conking out.

But yea. I keep telling myself, I won't remember all of this in a few days time....or a few weeks. And I need to focus. On work, on the vision, and on the things I can be very thankful about. I'm safe, I'm breathing, I'm healthy, I'm blessed, I have work, I have a calling, I have a family. 

Don't sweat the small stuff. It's really hard right now, because every small thing niggles at me and I feel like I'm going nuts.

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

There is still a chance for the 71,849 single men

I opened my facebook profile and LO and BEHOLD, I saw a string of comments, wall comments and msgs in my inbox congratulating me about my 'not-single anymore status'. Why? Because I decided to remove the 'single' listing on my Facebook profile. I merely didn't want to post it up anymore. A whim that resulted in... HILARIOUSNESS! Here are a couple of samples: "Charis has been woozy since thursday, is it luvvve??" "huh? o_O? is there something i don't know??" "so when u going to belanja us all makan??? >. "heh.... really!?....there are 71,849 single men in brisbane who will be very dissapointed... very.." "is this for real .. if so, congrats charis :-)" "Hey great news to hear, Congrats loh! By the way who is the lucky Guy?" " Hey. No longer single? Share some news. ;) " Man o man!
