I had been busy the entire month. Prior to the two-week break, I had contemplated on yet another overseas vacation. Perhaps I should visit Taiwan again, I thought. Friends in the industry offered corporate discounts on hotel bookings, and media passes to the concerts I wanted to attend.

Then there was A, who most enthusiastically passed me her 悠旅卡 (the Taipei equivalent of our ezlink card). And when I said I couldn’t find my Taiwan SIM card, hers appeared in a matter of minutes. There was even a guidebook if I was adventurous enough to venture up Yangmingshan alone for the spring blossoms. Haha!

And then, I decided not to proceed. I told myself five times a day, “I’m heading to Germany, Holland, Belgium and France this June. Champs-Élysées alone will wipe out my unostentatious bank account in a single afternoon.”

No one took me seriously, for I had a track record of making last-minute bookings and flying off before anyone realizes that I was away. Now that it’s Friday, and that I have not made any getaway plans for the weekend, they’ll be convinced that I’m staying put in warm and sunny Singapore.

And it’s also because I have things to do.

In case you haven’t heard, the annual revamp will take place on 12 March. Of the eight DJs in Y.E.S. 93.3FM, seven are changing shifts- some drastic, some minimal- and only one person will see unchanged working hours.

I’ve been in the morning show for eight and a half years now. It’s a pretty long time, I guess. There are people who want me to remain where I am, while others can’t wait to see me go. The announcement will come this Monday.
