1) So let's say if I end up doing something unrelated to filmmaking in the future, do I still get to look at pretty photos of shoes now?
2) I saw this secret on Postsecret once, it read something like "am I waiting for an epiphany or is this it?" and I've been thinking maybe this is it for my life. I'm basically unpassionate most of the times.
3) I keep making plans but not doing them, until one day I get annoyed and impulsive and do them. But that's pretty rare.
4) I like chocolate and seaweed chips. We're practically in love, and love makes people fat. (Or depressed.)
5) Thinking you're not good enough either makes you vie for positive attention from others, or makes you wanna eat ice-cream and watch TV and sulk.
I think I'm getting all debbie downer with my posts cos I'm putting on weight. :/ |

Things in life are going slow at the mo. Finally got some individual assignments after the first half of the term but I'm hardly keeping track anyway. Feeling like some are trying to hard - or maybe I'm trying too little. Not thinking much, or at all. Need a haircut.
I attribute my mundane, lifeless periods to my hair always, don't I? |

Now let the weak say I have strength, by the spirit of God, that had raised Christ from the dead. Now let the poor, stand and confess, all my portion is Him and I'm more than blessed.
Weekend:
Despite the circumstance I have to remember I still have the best family and my grandma's getting a whole lot better since her stroke, I still have my girls, I still have my God. He has provided well. |

1 week down, another 8 to go, another semester to pass. School's feeling like a chore: people to deal with, creativity to be consistently overflowing and getting all the damn technical aspects correct.
One of the better things in life was meeting my pride and Joy on Friday for dinner and a little beer garden ketchup (catch up). :)
Unfortunately I refused to take up a new event at the airport after this coming Saturday (Halloween) for the rest of the year because the thought of spending my weekdays at school and weekends working to encourage Singaporean families - with nowhere else to go in this tiny forsaken country so they go to the airport to dine on unnecessary overpriced meals - to spend more to increase airport revenue or whatever those things are just makes me lethargic already. No offence, but sometimes people just irk me. I'm those kind who hate crowds. A tiny dot consisting of nearly 5 million people is not funny. Some of us might need to live in the Johor Straits if the population increases.
I don't hate Singapore of course. I like the fact that we're so diverse and sometimes a little bit too desperate to be the best developed country but if we didn't try buildings and people would be getting blown up by now. And hell, we even got the cheapest and yummiest food! (Which is why I don't understand why Singaporeans go to the airport to eat generic restaurant fare.) Of course our weather sucks lah, so it's not like people can walk around in bikinis unlike in Australia where it's perpetually surrounded by sand and sea.
I also don't hate my job lah. It pays much much much better than other jobs while not really having to break a sweat at all. Plus it's cool (literally) working in transit. Been working since February with Sarahf and Trish sometimes and the colleagues always feel like family soon enough.
So I guess by doing so I won't be earning extra income but I won't be around to spend Christmas this year with friends either so I gotta sacrifice one for another! And money isn't all that important to me now.
Maybe it will in the future, when I'll need a car. |

The problem with having an outlet for a person's voice: either you inspire, or you create animosity. Only a small fraction wouldn't give a shit about what you've got to say. |

This is probably the best photo of Kelvin:
Vacation has been good. Took 2 trips out of this tiny island, worked, socialised quite a lot and helped out for The Gang shoot by Kelvin Sng productions doing photography and wardrobe. Met many friendly people on set! School productions suddenly seemed like nothing compared to the stressure faced on a feature film set. The new semester starts on Monday and I wished we never had to go back, but that's life.
Off to my Grandpa's nephew's wedding! |

So um, somebody created a facebook profile for SAC "butches". I'm not even kidding. The About Me column even states "Pride of SAC lies in producing the cream of the crop hot butches Aim to gather all butches from past to present".
Amusing. If they only friend requested "butches", I'm so glad I was considered a pretty boy. Which I'm not. A boy I mean.
PS. We're not friends! |

Let's face it - I'm a boring person. Besides hanging out with friends and missing some, working and/or wasting my youth playing Sims 3 (MY SIM HAS 2 TODDLERS!) I'm basically thinking about things I should or could do but not doing anything, really. Which has basically made me think if I even have a life goal or not.
I mean my plan for the future is simple: get married, make babies, raise them, leave them in Singapore while I migrate to a picturesque small town in Japan with my tabby cat, wear cute Kimonos to the markets while carrying a little wicket basket and in the evenings my husband (I'm taking him along with me for our retirement) will bring home fresh salmon because he took up a job as a local fisherman and we will live all cute and Japaneasy and die secretly Japanese though we are still technically born Singaporeans. ISN'T THAT AWESOME!!!!!!!
Seriously career-wised I'm not sure what I want out of filmmaking. SAYING I want to direct/produce is one thing, but PURSUING it is another. I know I have chosen this path and honestly, I can't really see myself doing something else. Business? Um. Engineering? Huh. Dissecting animals? Ewww!
It's truly by God's grace He has presented me with the chance to study film and all the aspects that comes with it, but right now I feel like a talentless slacker than knowing I had potential months ago. I don't have the passion to actually DO anything film-related in my spare time unlike my peers. I rather sleep. Or eat. Or both. And sometimes I don't even understand their stress, because I'm simply ignoring anything with relation to it and not experiencing determination towards excellence. I'm basically pass and move on, you know?
I'm just waiting around for God to zap me with some incredible talent in something so I can work towards advancing it. But right now, life's pretty dull. I think the fact that I want to do EVERYTHING is preventing me from doing ANYTHING. Or maybe I just ran out of matchsticks to ignite my flame of passion. But the real question is, what is my passion?
I swear being a coach potato isn't even one of my potential options. I hardly watch TV.
Eventually I do want to do something in the media industry, but at the rate I'm thinking and doing I'm gonna end up the set's coffee girl. Buying Starbucks (Sidetrack: I'm now a Coffee Bean convert! Thanks to someone and our love for pure double chocolate frappes.) for the cast and crew and being paid peanuts. Like literally. Do coffee girls even get paid?
Sigh. Life, future and a passion to find. Here's a photo of my sushi brunch I had in August:
See! Japanese! I could use a plate of salmon sashimi now. Yummmmm! |
