Teary teary eyes...

It was rather a long silence. I know I know.

I was so occupied with the week that I have no idea where to begin with. By the time I was about to write something, the fingers were feeling so tired to write. Ahahaha... that's how I am gonna start the blog with.

Well, the hectic month finally is over. I had 3 main functions to attend to and I've forgot what I had before that. Let us just concentrate on the final event that just concluded last friday.

I was conducting an eNaRPee course as an invited speaker as well as the examiner. I had the license to conduct 2 years ago and the experience of being a trainee and a facilitator has certainly opened my eyes. The mission of the course is so noble, I couldn't wait to convey the course as it was meant to be. Alas, trainees being trainees, most were concentrating to pass the course instead in view that the passing mark is very high, lotsa candidates had to resit for the tests.

I was catching breaths, in between all the events that I was involved in. I barely had 1 night to get ready before the course took place as before hand I was tied up with another event where I was hosting a community event in this area. So yes, I was really catching breaths in between!

The highs and lows of these programs certainly stretched my time to the limit. But the interaction among the people which attracted me the most. I got to mingle with so many people, share our experiences and exchanging thoughts.

At one moment during the eNaRPee course, I had to touch on the ethical portion of the profession. While presenting 8 lectures mainly dealing with the course and system, I was so eager and enthusiastic to deliver the final presentation which touches on ethics in the profession. This soft side of the issue, even though very slight, but it covers most of the details that we need to learn from inside out. We cannot just learn from it, we have to feel from within.

The biggest satisfaction that I've got was when I saw teary eyes from the participants who listened intently to how I described the whole scenario of being true to oneself and others. I won't describe how it went but certainly I had gauged the attention of these people and brought them into the humane world of ours which is almost non-existent nowadays unless we listened to our innerselves. Ok, crap... but it's true, they had tears in their eyes. But I cracked some jokes in between to loosen up everyone.

Besides, I've got 2 verbal compliments and a written one for the talk. Boy, I am so tired but really worth it. So, I am getting myself more relaxed and taking a back seat for the coming weeks. Until then, have a nice evening!
