there's some minor changes happening starting next month.. first off, coach kath has accepted a back-up supervisor position at Citibank International, which means that her team will be left without a coach.

when we had an ops meeting yesterday, Miss Jai announced Coach Kath's decision, with the condition that i would take over her place as the new coach of her team.. i initially didn't know how to react. i mean, i was flattered to be given such greater responsibility, at the same time i had to think about the team that i would be leaving as well. it saddens me thinking about leaving my children. i was just starting to get to know them and then i would need to pass them on to someone new..

oh well. change is the only permanent thing in this world. i would have to get used to it somehow.

and so i told Sungit about it as soon as i found out. i had apprehensions, that i will admit. but more than the fear of not living up to what Coach Kath has started for the team, i am pretty excited working with the team i actually came from before i even became a coach.. not to mention the fact that i get to be closer to someone. hehe.

guess the minor detail isn't so minor after all. ;p

i'm going to Shang after shift and continue with my search for the perfect gift for Deej.. it's so difficult thinking of what gift to give someone you know so well.. it's not that she's hard to please, but i guess since you are familiar with almost everything about each other, you just want to give something different.. something extraordinary.. and finding that in a mall with more people than merchandise available can be really taxing and frustrating.

i'm hoping i go home with something nice tough.. and not too expensive because 13th month pay is depleting at an alarming rate. hehe.
