Morning ticks

I woke up feeling great this morning, which is rare considering for the past few days I haven't been sleeping well at night. I am trying hard to rid the habit of heavy reading before I sleep. By heavy reading I mean materials that require thinking and analysing. After which my mind stays alert and active until wee hours of the morning. It's about time I buy some light hearted happy books. =) Suggestions anyone?

The first email I replied pertained to scriptwriting. I was asked to provide a feed back on the drafting of a scriptwriting course in Malaysia. Seriously, I don't think I know much about what it takes to run a course. Not that I have written some award winning scripts. Heck! I am an emerging scriptwriter. The operative word here being "emerging." Hint hint! Nonetheless I took the challenge head on and concocted something cliche like "Teaching scriptwriting is not like teaching English. It is more akin to teaching Art/painting. It requires personal attention. The progress of each student differs and should be monitored individually."

I have to spend the rest of the day writing/editing a company portfolio. It is interesting at times cos some of the personal data I received are hilarious. Once I received the personal data of this pariticular general manager and it was 7 pages long! He even penned down his achivement in winning a story telling competition when he was in Primary 1. He was short of telling me his sex life. Of course I slashed everything down to one paragraph. I know that he is the general manager but even the Managing Director gets a publicity flash of one paragraph only. Tough luck buddy!

Have to get back to work now. All of you out there, have a HAPPY day!

Ciao!
