Fight the Devil...

As I spend more time reading, I spend less writing.

Of course, it's just like listening and talking.. you can't do two things at once.

It's either one more than the other.

In the few books which I have been reading, one common theme that runs through both is about how we start to discover ourselves through others and events that unfold.

Indeed, it is something which I have to agree.

This morning was terrifying.

I was stuck trying to grab a cab for over almost an hour & even the cab hotlines rejected me.

all I could think of was being late for worship, i was on duty, i can't be late. never.

i stepped foot onto the grounds of commonwealth at 11.05am. 5 mins past the start of service.

before I knew it, i turned to sam & i started wheezing and hyperventilating, making the worst sounds I have ever heard.

i ran out of breath and felt like my oxygen tank could finish anytime the plug goes.

the second bout came not long after and then the third.

through this, i realised the beauty of strangers.

Aunties offering a hand, rubbing ointment on me, holding onto me, praying for me.

all I could think of was how much trouble i could be in for missing worship. how irresponsible i was...

through this, I discovered that I'm really strange, uptight & crazy.

I guess, there are some things I need to sort out about myself... this week.

Mental Block

it's true when they say, you lose a skill when you don't use it.

Past week has been extremely exasperating for me.

This huge mental block that refused to budge when I sat down and wanted to write letters, articles etc.

I searched for songs to inspire me, good thoughts to let the creative juice flow...

nothing.

and I finally realised, I haven't been blogging.

Oh well... it's time to get on blogosphere for my own good.

Food for Thought

"Our quality in life is not to get ahead of others,

but to get ahead of ourselves"

Beware of who you BE-FRIEND

while some of us happily acknowledge our friendships with close companions, the following should make you think twice before you announce it openly again....

who are the

Friends of Dorothy?

Apparently, this term refers to a gay man.

I kid you not.

In my recent research on my upcoming production, I found out that W.O.Z has been closely related to the gay community.

According to Wikipedia, this phrase dates back to at least World War II when homosexual acts were illegal in the United States. Stating that, if someone was a 'friend of Dorothy', it was a euphemism used for discussing sexual orientation without others knowing its meaning.

In W.O.Z, Dorothy is accepting of those who are different and of course, they are non other than the scarecrow, tinman & the lion.

In fact, this term has been so widely used even in films and tv series in the early nineties.

This is something so new and unheard of to me and I am caught by surprise to know & therefore decided to share with you.

Interesting.

Rain the Blues!

Like the Chinese saying that goes,

"Bad things never come alone."

the exact translation? i dunnoe la.

Unhappy stuff pelted daily with the morning rain.

Just disappointed with the sell-out production that we are currently running.

To me, it's a complete dread to stay throughout and it's totally embarrassing that it is SOLD-out still.

Just when the directorial baton was handed over 'temporarily' to another director... everything goes hay-wire. The combination of everything was just terrible :(

In the office, it was just clearing the dumps that was left by someone irresponsible. *urgh*

The world is so unforgiving of the incompetent. So am I.
