Worry begone
I now fully realise that I can take up to about 3 hours to write 4 pieces of news, each about 15 lines. Hence, I finished my work for my Radio club at about 1.30am this morning. And that was only writing the news script, not the talking-set script, where I'm supposed to talk about some contests and the other programmes lined up today on my campus radio, with my cohost. It's only my 2nd time doing a radio show, so naturally, I was super nervous. Nervous that I wouldn't be able to ad-lib properly without a script in hand, nervous about having dead air, about sounding lame, repetitive or saying too many 'Ums...' on-air. I'll be doing a 'live' show in less than 24 hours man!, I thought.
After doing just one live show 2 weeks ago, I have so so much respect for hosts, be it radio or TV or roadshows. I used to think theirs was an easy job, being merely equipped the quality of being able to talk lots of crap. Well, talking 'crap' takes skill! I so admire radio actors now. One can express so much with just your voice.
At around 1am, I noticed a moving, kinda huge shadow moving on the floor, to my right (I was at the computer doing my work). I thought it was a freaking rat, and that shadow dashed to my room. Turned out it was a ginormous cockroach! It is super scary, its wings were half flared-up and it looked really menacing...if there's one thing I hate, that's insects! I needed two cans to kill that...creature, I sprayed it left, right and centre. Even while it was lying belly up, its legs wouldn't stop twitching. So I sprayed some more, but it just wouldn't stay completely still! So i covered it with a transparent plastic cup...and left it there on the floor overnight. Next time maybe I'll just whack it dead, it seems like a more effective method. Sheesh. I so admire my Korean grandma who smashes cockroaches with her bare foot without giving it a second thought. That makes me squirm
I wanted to write my talkset script in the morning, but I couldn't wake up! I only had time to pack me school stuff, get dressed and eat a little breakfast...worry worry, worrywhether I'll be late for my 10am lecture and whether all the above mentioned in the first paragraph would come true...
Luckily, I read the bible before I slept....it makes me smile now that the day is closing. This is my 2nd day straight of reading the bible before going to bed. You know how people say when your mind is full of some doubt/uncertainty, just open the bible and eventually, you'll land on what you're looking for. So I came across this:
Luke 12: 25-26, 31
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?....but seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you..."
which reminded me about this little quote, "Do your best and God will take care of the rest."
What happened today, I reached my lecture on time, the bus to school came in less than 5 minutes, and my lecture ended a half hour earlier! Giving me a little time to compose myself and write a little script before I made my way to the radio studio to get ready for my show at 1pm.
One more thing, I had switched on my ipod first thing in the morning to listen to the playlist I created, of Jason Mraz's songs that I would upload for my friend M (I'm trying to initiate her to his music! hehe), and I saw that all my songs in my ipod was GONE! NULL. NOTHING in my ipod at ALL!! I have only been using ipod for what? 2 months? I got angry at the stupid apple brand and the fact that it's a china-made good, and decided to quickly upload some JM songs on my computer to my ipod before I go to school, when all my songs on my ipod appeared on my computer! Apparently, I had to just switch off my ipod and on it again and it's the usual.
My bro, who's been using Ipod for about 1 year plus, says his songs have never disappeared on his Ipod before. WTH. Gave me such a shock so early in the morning la. But since it was remedied quickly, now that I think back about it, it was like a sign to a start of a good day!
I did ok for my radio show today :) Thank God!
