A slow panic attack...

Did an interview today with a female fitness first gym instructor for my assignment....Wanna do a feature story on female gym instructors and gender issues in gym culture...shit and i had to do 3 more interviews on other pple...BUT i was rejected by the gym manager...arghhh...*expected* ..now, cracking my head to think of who to contact for interviews....

After the last lecture at 6.15, i had a production meeting from 6.30 to 9.30...i was so hungry!!!!!! I only drank one mocha the whole day...no breakfast, no lunch and yep i finally got to eat a twister after the meeting...so restless...without food...

Suddenly, i felt overwhelmed by so many things...argh..shit..*stressed* To think i have so much work, and production stuff...have to start cast meeting this week already..and rehearsal...Tot i could take a break and concentrate on my work after the first production...NOooo!!!!!!!!!!! needa catch up with work ..shit..deadlines and exam not far away..my mind is swarmed with stufffff

TAKE a deep breath!!!!!! I told myself...and i came here to 'breathe' - a relief station......

Needa get back to work!

Focus Focus focus...DUn panic dun panic...

Addicted to Dawn Yang's bloggie song

Came across Dawn Yang's blog.....yeap...i'm a bit 'slow'...knew this gal has been the HOT topic of hometown for quite some time...just got to hear more about her...

Curious abt this sensational gal, i went to her website..haaaaaa...she's really pretty..there were many rumours about her having plastic surgery...perhaps it's Singapore...words spread really fast in this small town..even the singa communities overseas like us over here....haaaaaa..Plastic surgery is common everywhere else....like korea...haaaa...dun think pple talk about them as much as singaporeans do...

Anw, i find her really pretty!!!!! (fr. a gal's perspective) ...haaaaa...No matter what her past is, the end-product is really amazing! It's definitely worth it if she feel more confident abt herself *well, jus worrying about the side effects though if there's any in future*...well, i'm neutral towards this issue...beautiful girls are always loved by MOST..isn't it true? esp the buzzy media....

the main attraction of her blog site to me is THE song 'One more nite' by the stars..I'm kinda addicted to that song..Ive already fallen in love with that song...It keeps on playing in my head man! Wondering who STARS are? went to search on google, nothing abt them...who's this mysterious band? Jus hope any1 who knows could tell me!

Still listening to 'One more nite'..........

Thoughts abt Singaporeans' mandarin...mmmm

A busy day again!!!

Held audition again..this is the 4th time...Holding audition is not easy..*damn tiring* final one tmr,,hee hee
it's fun though...i can see all kinds of pple..haaa ...*disappointing...the only singaporean who came today...can't make it...*geez* her mandarin sucks and still wanna come for a mandarin production audition...she was shocked when i tell her im fr sg as well....mmm..she tot im fr shanghai or taiwan...when i speak mandarin to her...gosh..dun think my mandarin is as good as theirs...maybe to her ...this is the standard lah...she has the cheek to say..cos singaporean's mandarin doesn't sound fluent and dun dress like that..and dun look like that..(i admit i was being mistaken many times fr other ctrs but not sg)..well, maybe they have a stereotypical image of how a singaporean looks like in their heads...mmm..she said singaporeans like her are more casual...mmm...what is she trying to say...*sounds like i look like a clown..well...im jus a little more colourful that her...that's all....haaa..

*Singaporeansssss....the casts who can make it for acting and language are all from taiwan, shanghai and malaysia....
* Education system need to be reconsidered*...Singaporeans' mandarin incomparable to other asia ctrs...They speak proper accented English and proper accented mandarin....Sometimes, jus feel Sorry for the "jack of all languages" Singaporeans (including myself) well, at least, i can say my mandarin is a lot better than many singaporeans...*sound overly confident*...nuh it's true...when i compare myself and the other singaporeans who are studying here...GOSH!!! haven met one that could speak better ...I feel ashame if i dun noe how to speak proper mandarin..Geez im a chinese man...jus can't understand why so many singaporeans are proud of their poor mandarin...ignorant I can say..incomparable to many fellow asians...Well, Singaporeans still living in their sheltered shell...not knowing that pple esp native chineses are truly considered as EFFECTIVELY billingual. (i may sound like i'm complaining 'politically') Pardon me..that's why i truly think..

Well, I do need to learn a lot from them..* Some of the 'deeper' chinese characters in the script..i dun know how to pronouce....haaa..*paiseh*..have to ask the other asst director fr shanghai...once pple know that im fr. singapore, the "poor mandarin" mentality jus appeared in their heads...haaaaaa..can't help it...the image singaporeans have..*SAD*

*feel the stress in the production team already* authenticity and good command of mandarin seems so impt for this mystery thriller directly adapted from the London's play..The Mousetrap... Reckon my mandarin is going to improve ....working with these pple..hope so! well, Wanna change to shanghai 1940s setting....*I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* I went wild when everyone agrees on the 1940s theme...can't hide my excitment!!!! *i admit i have slight obsession with nostalgic things* esp shanghai 1940s glamorous era....A fusion of the orient & the west!!! Oriental beauty wif touch of European influence!!!! Awesome!!!!
*Zhao Li(the other asst director ) said i'm crazy....haaa...Shit my excitment shoot up! when i heard he's going bk to shanghai to look for appropriate costume!!! I WANT cHEONGSAM as well!!!! how can an A.director act like that..he muz have tot...haaa....how i wish i can go with him...ARgHH...nuh...have to concentrate more on directing their acting...but but but but....hee..beautiful cheongsam!!!!!..haaa...force the costume pple to make for me...haaaa *nuh, not that evil* *grinning*

I can now imagine my Wong Kar Wai's *In the mood for Love* leading characters' in my play...hmm...expecting too much...haa...well, that's one of my goals to bring out the characters....set, costume & make-up.....v.impt!!!!....gonna be hard on costume, make-up & set team...they r all excited as well...haaa..though it's gonna be tough...heee..IT's POSSIBLE with PASSION!!!! okie, i shall stop rambling on abt my blah blah blah production...


Preparation for next sem production is underway!....I haven gotten my break...*sigh*

Essayssss & examsss...

*Yawn*

Back Again! Here i am...hee

IT has been a long long while ever since i blogged...*stop throwing words* I know....no one bothers to read any more...haaaa...no news, nothing...

Sorry, ONE word: BUSY

REALLy busy...Dun noe why on earth i'm so busy..tired... seriously esp this sem...*PHEW phew* need to catch a deep breathe b4 i continue* *gulping water at the same time*

After the busy work in sg, came back... busy unpacking, attending college dinner (only for the first week).....
BANG! the production came..took my 7 weeks away..'the' almost everyday rehearsals were weary esp when i was coughing like mad...and had to force down bottles of chuan bei pi ba gao, cough syrup, flu tablets etc over a few wks...all kind of medicine ive tried to recover...the production pple," which new medicine did u try today"..poor us okie...hee...i spread the virus to 2 other pple...oopss...it's the stupid melbourne's weather!

Luckily, i was almost fully recovered on the day of performance..haaa..*oops* but i had to gulp down 1 whole bottle of chuan bei pi gao over the 3 days of performances.. and also the ex hot honey lemon drinks(4 aus for a small hot honey lemon drink fr chinatown) argh.. and porridge everyday....hee...esp b4 each scene...couldn't do without pi pa gao and water*Oh, My saviours!* haaa..hoping i wouldn't cough on stage...*Phew again for the producers* didn't haaa...almost though...my voice almost broke during rehearsals..haaa..they were worried...constantly reminding me not to strain my voice...i was too tired & sick to worry anw...
but i always got carried away when im acting..my voice just automatically raises...oopsss...esp into that 'bitch of the bitches' character...well, WAs fun..gotta do and say whateva...haa *holding a bouquet of flowers, saying how ugly my suitor is, praising my own 'beautiful legs', 'feeling how beautiful & sexy i am'...mmmm..singing bitchily and dancing chacha with seductive eyes(emphasis by the Director sharon..haaaa), scolding Alice , fliping my fan arrogantly...haaa... but a memorable 'Lady Feng'..now everyone calls me 'Feng Jie'...so mamasanish!!!

Overall, It was a GREAT GREAT GREAT experience in the musical ALICE in WONDERLAND! Celebrated my bdae on the opening night! what a nice timing! Gala night and my bdae! was too busy to even think of celebrating..haa..but was fun! at least i got 2 cakes on that night..haaa..and I was touched by the production team and casts who gave me a little surprise with the special birthday nougat cake that they bought...hee.. thanks to those frens who had late bdae supper with me after the show..haa

the MUSICAL ~Once in a life time experience...HAHAha....

Went to Gold COast for Easter break! *a self-reward after the musical....perhaps...well, ...Thrill, tired and HOt

Back in melbourne...freezing cold...facing the pile of never-ending workloads.....BANG!BoOm! WOOSH!!!!!!

Back to reality!
