another successful show...

today's performances were draining... as expected... we got a little complacent and screwed up our second performance - the matinee showing... the evening show was better... we were more focused and people were truly impressed by our work... i am happy with what's going on throughout this whole production... the things i am learning and such...

our director, Samantha, was wondering why she has so little notes for me... then she said that it was a good thing... it simply meant that i was doing the things that the director wants and she need not ask for more... there was nothing to correct and there wasn't anything that needs to be improved on... i am glad... these past few years in LASALLE has not been a journey where i've not grown... looking back since my first performance... i have grown a lot indeed... there are things that i can be proud of and give thanks for...

Dale and Daniel came for the show and were all praises... the other lecturers that came tonight were all praises just like the others who came the day before... Dennis, program leader of the B(A) Musical Theatre said that it is the best thing he has since come out of the Theatre Arts students... i guess we've arrived... i am now more than ever that this is the plan and destiny God has for me... i am going to glorify His name through theatre...

one more show to go... show i should get some proper rest... acting can be rather exhausting

it has been some time....

the last time i blogged was quite some time ago... but guess i've simply been just too busy...

today was the opening night of the run of THE ONE-SIDED WALL... it runs from 25th Aug to 27th Aug... part of the series of plays i would be acting in as part of my graduation...

tonight was a night that saw a few celebs gracing an event that was rather hush-hush... there was no major publicity that went out... but still we had Yu-beng (who would try to be at all our showings as he is afterall our acting lecturer...) who came with his wife, Kheng Hua (the lady who produces dim sum dollies, and hosts the current food show on channel 5 called table for 3...) then we also had Mark Waite...

we had quite a few positive comments which came out from this opening night...

Yu-beng said that it was one of the best graduation shows he has seen in LASALLE.. Kheng Hua seemed rather impressed... Mark said it was the best work to come out of LASALLE in a long time, and that we've all done so well... :) Michael said he really saw the mamouth work put in by all! A very intelligent piece and a story well told! Matt (our "papa" who've seen us since we first stepped into LASALLE) looked very pleased with us too...

i think we've nailed it for this show... now it is to keep it up for the next few shows... there is still 3 more shows for this run...

we've pulled a great show tonight... and will pull off 3 more great shows in the next two days...

right now i am simply exhausted

am just going to rest...

Just sleepy...

Been feeling rather tired lately, dunno why though... Just sleepy most of the time... Is it because I've been treating my body bad and now it is fighting back?

A lot of things are happening lately... There has been quite a few shifts in my life... I dunno why I am quite unaffected by one of the shift... Maybe it is because I have seen it gone on for so long, so it doesn't really surprise me that such a thing might have happened... Still, it is affecting me that I am not affected... Hmmm... *making squigy faces thinking*  I dunno...

Then there was the offending words from one of the lecturers in school... Sigh... Anyway, his words pierced and the girls in my class, including myself, were rather affected and upset... But I guess, I should just get over it and move on... Stop mopping over stupid things...

Was suppose to go for band prac last friday... But I decided it wasn't worth my while... I ended up skipping prac and went to hang out with friends... But I need to make it a point to return the freakin' horn by next friday and wash my hands of this band... Another enjoyable thing in my life that has turn to something rather sour... But whatever... I should actually free up my commitments... And focus on my grad shows...

On the 25th - 27th August at 7pm, I will be performing in The One-Sided Wall... It is such an exciting production... Having the best director in Singapore directing us... Having a really cool set... Nice sound design... And cool lighting designs... I think it is simply great... Haha... So excited about it... If you wanna come support me in my artistic endeavours, drop me a note or call me la...

a little complaint... a little decision to make...

the week had been rather crazy... with so many things that required my attention...

am pretty adament about the fact that i actually have to go back to school for rehearsals on National Day!!!!
suppose to be public holiday... yet i am back in school, rehearsing the first of four graduation shows lined up ahead...
guess this is the life of an actor... who am i to complain right??? *grinz* but rehearsals are going well... two weeks to opening and we are more or less ready to go... i think Sam is such a good director... no wonder she won Best Director of the year last year...

was an extra for the movie 5Cs...  it just happened to be that Yu Beng had asked us to go down to the set for lesson that night... and they didn't have enough extras... so i had to stand in... haha... never liked the way i look on camera... guess was simply trying not to look too conscious of the camera and be a good student-actor... haha...

had a msg from mindy about me being arrowed by mr ho for not being at band prac... that's it man... i shall return the horn next practice and there after never return to this band again... i've had enough... i am a student with my own priorities... i have my priorities set right and this band is not on my priority list... it is just a place where i wanna let loose, away from my actual busy life... if they wanna be so pedantic about my commitment level then it's bye bye to this band... i can always find another outlet to let loose... so wadever... i wouldn't be returning to this band after next friday... need to go down to at least return the horn...

the church is going to move to Expo... and service is gonna be on Sunday... and i am prolly gonna be out of a job... haha... but i am not complaining... God will provide... haha... am pretty happy that there is going to be a change in climate... i believe with the move, more people will come to know the Lord... the Lord wanna bring His children home... but, the spatial constraints we currently have aint helping the growth... the move to a bigger and better place would definitely be like the empty vessels that would be filled... amazing things are going to happen... and i am excited... i am grateful... and i know many will be blessed!!!!

Pastor Eugene talked about how Singapore's future is ours to make in God at service yesterday evening... nations represent people and people always have a very special place in the heart of God... this nation has an unreached people group that makes up nearly one third of the population... i know that these people are in the plans of God... our lives and our living is destined by God... and me being borned in a time and place like this is divine... there's no doubt about it... and i am not ashame to boldly and loudly declare that...
"I am a Christian... A child of God... A princess of my King... A God chick..."

Is life an accident or a divine plan?
I believe that it is a divine plan... Nothing in this world is an accident... It happens for a reason....
