congratulations. you are the kiss my ass happy
bunny. You don't care about anyone or anything.
three more weeks and i'd feel three times as empty................
six more months and i'd be torn between bursting with emotions and collapsing inward with emptiness........... ripped apart by abstract powers which are so dominant my life......... if ever there was a "which mental element rules u?" quiz, i'd b a total 117% ruled by my feelings.........
i can't take goodbyes........ i've never had to say goodbye before, and now, i've had to face only 2 goodbyes in e past 5months and it's more than i can take......... how can i imagine 3 more in e next 3 weeks? all on e same day? how can i imagine e infinite amount of goodbyes i'd have to face 6 months later, when i'll be leavin evrything and i'm on e other side of e glass now? it would be infinitely worse.............. wouldn't it be really great if i cld just magically appear in melbourne? no goodbyes no planes no hassle....... and just
appear....... even as i am now 6 months away frm leavin, any mere flitter of e thought wld put me in a crumble......... it would gnaw at me like nothing else........ even as i walked down e corridor yesterday morning towards counter6, i felt e incessant gnawing..... reminding me of when my brother left, bringing back e sruge of emotions........ telling me now that hannah's leavin......... e foreshadowing of when i'm about to leave.......... i'm already picturing myself walkintg thru those gates........ and it's something i cannot help............ cannot
bear.............. Lord knows how much i wanna put it aside, but i just. simply. cannot. do. it.
it just gets worse
i am weak
i know that, and e mere thought of it kills me........... it makes letting go all e much harder, and it takes all i can give and even more to keep a clear vision..........
i am weak
i feel it in e pits of person, and so i pretend to be strong in other aspects of my self.......... i pretend not to care, so that i will not be plagued by situations which call for me, so that when e time comes to caring, i can pretend i don't give two hoots and hide in a corner by myself, writhing with agony......... perhaps it is cuz i'm a histroinic being......... i'm too selfish and volatile to give myself to others............. which is prob y i never wanna b a teacher............ and prob y i'll live my life out alone and empty........... cuz i'm too scared of losing a part of me....... u can never lose something u never had........
how do ppl do it? i have no idea....... maybe i think too much........ i feel too much........ which is good........ and bad.......... life is made up of dichotomies....... we are dichotomic characters, each and every one of us......... we are e essence of life............... and oh what a hassle it is tryin to live up to life's expectations....... i don't know y i cry, i just do........... and is it bad to do so? nothing in life is ever good or bad, it just
is, and yet i feel so,
wrong........ like i shouldn't be crying...... yet i do.......... and i dunno what it is that makes me do so or why i do so or
how i do so............ am i so weak that i can't even hold back some as impotent as myself? it's not like it's e end of e world, but it's e end of
something.... something that matters to me......... and is a part of me............ e death of a some part inside me.......
am i such an easy book to read? do i break easily? y do i always shortchange myself, compromise for others?
these are questions that don't matter, yet plague me to no extent.........
pls Lord, give me strength, something which i don't have, yet i try so hard to pretend i do.........
life is an act, and it's all about how well u can play it and manipulate urself to camouflage the feelings and emotions that course through u........ evryone is a born actor....... it's just how well u fit into others' skins........ those who don't do so well take up normal professions....... those who mould better become thesbians......... and i'm tryin, i'm tryin my very best to keep up the performance......... life is a play in a play......... and e only thing that's holding me back r e emotions......... e floodgates that cannot be controlled no matter how i try......... ***no pun intended, at all*** e emotions just flow, and i can do nothing to stop em....... i can
be, but i cannot
not be..............
to be or not to be is not a choice at all..........

may the good Lord shine a light on you
make every song you sing your favourite tune
may the good lord shine a light on you
warm like the evening sun
- Shine A Light, Rollin Stones
yes truly...... the Lord has indeed been
very kind to me........... even though i am most undeserving and unworthy of it........ He has reminded me not to forget why i'm doin all that i am, that all that i do, it is with a greater cause, that i practice my art for Him. thank u hannah for askin me to TAGS#4 and makin me realise, and not forget what my bigger purpose is.... not for self-gratification, but for Him.
today couldn't have been more wonderful......... i've not felt so joyous and loved in a long time..... and it's not an exuberant explosion of joy....... it's a kind of silent rapture that quiets e soul............. i feel peaceful and at ease, though i admit i wanted to bite off e head of irritatin security guards....... but i don't recall havin calmed down and eased my anger so quickly and quietly before....... it's e silent encompassing arms of warmth that envelop u and make u realise that there's no reason lettin all these ephemeral human temptations and disturbances trouble our state of peace and cause turmoil within............
small things : i made someone laugh..... a genuine chuckle and i could hear from his voice e lightenin of his mood....... it was late, and he still had to work...... but it made me feel glad that i did my bit to make things easier for him.......
i communicated pleasantly w my folks and told em e good news(which i'm gonna get to later) and my dad chuckled flippantly, yet i could sense how proud of me i made him feel........... and knowing that i made my dad proud makes me happy.........
i made it for TAGS#4 and it made me glad that even though i had a long day and i was tired and i couldnt find e 'circular building' and a certain paranoid security guard pissed e pants off me, i kept my cool and cooled off before e show so i cld enjoy it and it made me pleased that i kept my word to a friend that i would, knowing e hard work they had put in........
after like months of owning a certain untitled rolling stones song which i LOVE, i finally found e title and even lyrics of e song....... and it just completed e day by closing w e message.....
e cues for 'Balance' r really easy and all our runs have been nothing but smooth.......... and i'm startin to actually love e script....... it's beautiful... poetic and lyrical.......... sad, yet hopeful.......... i discover new meaning evrytime..........
okie
big stuff......... : ***from least big to humongous***
- i'm havin rehearsal for STAGES tomoro... quite scary... but i'm gettin geared up for e scene frm macbeth....... it's a kinda mixed trepidation-cum-looking-forward........ weird........
- i signed e contract w tworks today and secured $300, half of my pay........... meaning i got more money in e bank, after cashin in $680 that day...........
- all my rehearsals fit in nicely side by side!!~! no dead-clashes!!~! i don't really have to sacrifice anything for another~! no opportunity cost~!
- went for a readin at dramaplus today and guess what??? i got another part in their schtour!!!!!~!~ it's 40shows!~ and i
think e cast is nice~! e guy i did e readin for was GREAT!~ very nice friendly handsome ang-moh guy...........
it's all these little and not-so-little things that make me see e wonder of e Lord and how He can lift my day and thru such material and insignificant things make me see His love for me. these things may seem small or insignificant or even material, but they mean sth to me..... they all have symbolic meanings........ it's His way of guiding me on where to go, which way to turn, His way of assuring me that i don't have to worry too much, that evrything is safe in His hands............. but of course...... i have to b active too and listen to His calling and act on it....... if i don't find someone with a dvd player and vcr player and tv which are highly accessible, e audition video won't magically manifest on e tables of vca and monash and i'll magically get accepted........... which reminds me, i'd better stop procrastinating........ e Lord has been good to me and i should do my part for what i want too.......... i feel loved........... ***beambeam***

i miss tsd
i miss e security of knowing that in time to come, u'll definitely have a piece to perform.......... regardless of whether it's a good one or a shitty one, and knowing that u can choose whoever u wanna do it w........
i so desperately wanna asm for e play faulkner's in,
sylvia.... but bummer it all!!!~ i'm tied down to lights for tworks....... ***growlgrowl*** damn my bloody morals for making me stick to it.......... i wish i had e audacity and guts ***or lack of morality*** to just dump e lights op job and jump over to i-theatre for e asm...........
Pros: it's good exposure....... i meet more ppl......... it'll b more fun............ i can make more contacts........ i get to do other stuff........... prob hafta spend less hrs than at tworks........ it's in a less ulu place than fort canning........... all e crappy logistics and possible probs prob all occured and have been settlled........... haven't had any proper rehearsals w em...........
Cons: i break a few hearts ***and mayb my own neck***........... i'll b blacklisted by one of e bigger companies in e microscopic sporean theatre world........ i'll feel mighty bad............. i'll go to hell............ they go thru hell and turmoil tryin to look for a new op at such short notice........... i'll go thru hell and turmoil at not keepin my word.......... i lose a few friends............ i'll get a bad name.......... and e list goes on.........!~ urgh!~ okie........ stick w e crappy job i got at haunted hill.......... it might turn out more exciting......... ***snortsnort***
big dreams
just realised TWO other ppl r applying for vca...... great........... as if e odds weren't bad enough........ and it just keeps on comin!!~! mayb i've gotta start thinkin of plan D............. or mayb i've just gotta start thinking........ harumphf~~~!
u think mayb in life they should implement a reward status thing? whereby if u accumulate enough points u get whatever u what? think that would make life better?
.
..
...
i thought not too.............
oh well, it was worth that brief moment of bringing it into existence.........
but what if u want something badly enough to wanna bring it into existence? there's like a 67% of things not being able to work out yet u wanna have a shot at it.............. is it better to linger in painful obliviousness mingled with hope or to know e sad truth that annihilates all wishful thinking?
i can't decide.........
