A little quiet moment

So the past few weeks have been a little crazy with all the mad rush to deliver expectations with a few late nights in school and the next morning is just a dread heading back to continue where it was left off and burn a hole in my pocket along the way. Lol! The team has officially cross the second of three checkpoints and its now time to push to the end. =)

Well, I have to say Kudos to the team for pulling everything off and keeping spirits high. Somehow, I always enjoy every single moment working with them. The energy, the dynamics, the flexible and creative minds. =) I guess its because we are in it together and we know the pain of going through the entire process that's why we always crack around to motivate each other.

Oh well, at least for tonight, its time to wind down a little and try to get some proper rest. There is another battle to fight when the sun is up again! Can't wait for this weekend to be over. Seriously.

Auf Wiedersehen!

History 101

It's a once in a very blue moon occurrence that I attend a wedding dinner and it was an eye opener of where I belong in a gigantic family tree. To be honest, left me baffled of whose-who in the family hierarchy. Of course, there was a history lesson given by my grand mother tracing back to the history of her grand mother. Geez.. if my sums is right that would add up close more than 200 years of history, back to the era of music of the romantic period where we have composers of Franz Liszt, Schubert and Tchaikovsky!!!

Well, there were all the greetings to all the grand aunts and uncles, most of them which I have not meet in the past 2 decades at least! It's hard to run away from greeting them and not knowing their "rank", all I can give is a simple Hello and a handshake as a sign of acknowledgement.

At the end of it all, we were lined up to give our final congrats to the host and it struck me that how many people that they shook hands with are actually people they know. Hmm...? Oh well, at least I am beginning to understand more about the history of my maternal-side bloodline.

Auf Wiedersehen!
