exhausted.

My appetite has been anything but good these few days, and today it has been downright bad. In fact, the amount of food I took in today is woefully insufficient for the amount of work I put in.

I was awoken by my sis today - 'Wake up, it's 10.30!' Huh?! My lesson is at 11!!! I grabbed breakfast along the way - a single Delifrance chocolate muffin plus a can of Boss from Cheers.

Lesson with Dominic was pretty interesting. In fact he played very little, but seemed to be enthralled by the information about the cello that I shared. It seemed almost like a history lesson today.

After lesson I went home to grab scores and music stands for tonight's rehearsal, and scarcely had time to eat. I stopped at Yio Chu Kang MRT station to use the toilet, and thus missed the bus, so I seized the opportunity to grab lunch from Cheers again - a single Golden Triangle and another can of Boss. (Boss is on offer at $1.)

I arrived at church with a stomach seizure. Princess said I looked pale. She made me go and eat. Couldn't find anything appetizing enough, so I settled for mutton soup with bread (the mutton soup at church kopitiam is good by the way), and felt better after that.

Cell group was fun today with me and Bernard firing our light bulbs away. Today, the cell people learned one thing about me - I have a great interest in apologetics. I talked at length about 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' - in plainspeak, it means that just because you can't see or feel God does not mean He does not exist. Elim said she was proud of me. =D

Yes, it takes even more faith to deny Christ than to accept Him. Muahahaha.

Teaching again in the evening. Wei Li cancelled, so I turned up just for Noah. Little boy pissed me off something awful. Was totally inattentive and disobedient. Grr.

After teaching, was straight back to school to pick up cello for rehearsal at DES. Nary any time for dinner. I wanted either a Subway or a kebab, but didn't have enough cash with me, and did not want to queue up to withdraw, so dinner was a measly little McDonald's double cheeseburger. And whoever grilled the beef patties better go read James 1:5... What's with all that extra salt and pepper on the beef? Ugh!

Arrived at DES somewhat early, when I really started to rue the fact that I didn't sit down for a proper dinner. And then the nightmare started to unfold... Rehearsal started at 7.30. It ended at around midnight. Yes, you read that right. I think the players are really starting to regret taking the gig, because for some reason 4 rehearsals magically increased to 10, and our time is really being spared no expense, as evidenced by today. T'was even worse than last week (when we ended at about 11). Simeon said, 'I might as well go work at McDonald's'. As long as you don't spam salt on the beef patties.

It was about 12.15am when I tottered out of the studio, barely able to walk. I was carrying my cello, sis's viola, and two music stands. I promptly hopped on a cab. The upshot is that cab allowance was given, but Mr Wu gave us our share out of his own pocket first, though he promised that there will be allowance given. On the way home, the cab driver chattered nonstop, making me unable to snooze. What's with people getting excited about musical instruments?

Stopped for supper near home... a small plate of fried nian gao. Still hungry now. The lady who served me also was very interested about my cello. But the stupid bitch lifted my cello without asking my permission... I'd have shouted at her if not for the fact that 1) I was tired and 2) she did give me very good service.

Tired. Can't wait to sleep.

I miss you too, my princess.
