*Droooools* The latest Lord of the Rings Trailer is out! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it here. Do it now. :D

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm totally infatuated with Orlando Bloom. He's British, not that much older than me, cute, is into theatre/drama and photography and did I mention he's cute? Ahhahahahahahahaha.... Think I'm going bonkers. Best of all he's a great actor, and it seems a pretty dedicated one at that. I love what he's done with Legolas in LOTR. Then again, I love what Peter Jackson and all the cast and crew have done with the movie adaptation of the book. So what if the movies aren't totally accurate? (Like my students would say) The movies ROX! Ahhahahahahahaha.......

What's been going on with me so far apart from my infatuation: I received an email from SYC saying that I've got in and will be on 'trial' for 4 practices, after which they'll let me know if they think I'll fit in well enough to continue. If I do, I'll be on 'probation' for whoknowshowlong. Well wish me luck, I hope it goes well. I think I'll have fun there, and it'll be one interesting experience for me.

I've been unwell the past few days again. I don't know if it's the erratic weather, or if it's because John has been fighting off the flu bug and he passed me some of his germs. Anyway I was freezing this morning, and in the evening I was all hot, sticky and clammy. It was awful. :( I'm slightly better now but I don't think it's going to go away just yet. Sigh. I've been all teary eyed, leaky nosed and stuffy headed for the past few days. Having exam essays to mark and deadlines (or is it datelines??) isn't helping very much. I just want to either bask in the sun or hide under my duvet and have heaps and heaps of yummy sorbet or bowls of steaming hot chicken soup (respectively) - depending on whether I'm freezing my butt off or sweating buckets. Doesn't that sound gross??

During lunch today with Winnie at Siglap we were talking about what we see ourselves doing in future. And while I will probably serve out my bond teaching in school and not go to MOE HQ if the offer comes my way, I can't really see myself teaching for the rest of my life. It's weird, how I've spent all my schooling years dreaming of majoring in music. And now that I've done it I find that it isn't exactly what I really want to do in life/for a living. Maybe teaching isn't exactly what I really want to do and it's not music per se. Deep down I think I've always wanted to be a writer/artist (and now photographer to boot) because you don't really have someone to boss you around and you answer to yourself. :P Then again I suppose something always sounds so nice until you're really in it and have to deal with the reality of the situation. I think I won't really know what it's like till I try it, so that's the only way to find out, isn't it??

I really want to get started on my 'creating', whatever comes out of it. Time to whip out the paintbrushes and camera and get going. But before that I need to get over my puffy-leaky-teary-stuffy body first...
