Took some time to think, there really isn't perfection in this world, learning to change an angle looking at it will get you to accept it eventually, and appreciate it more.
Whatever expected to be perfection will always remain as a fantasy.

it hurts.
It hurts to know when you wanted to help by saying something,
but you just couldn't, cos you are not in the situation to comment too much ont hat.
I was thinking, should I do more for a friend?
How should I actually help?
Or what have I actually have helped earlier on?
Did I do enough for her?
She certainly deserves something better than this,
Of how smart she is, she shouldn't have been in this state.
And I appreciate her enough to feel painful looking at her situation.
I really do, and I hope things can change for her.
Friend, trust me, you deserve better than where you are now,
just work harder, like you normally could, to get urself out of this,
and never step in again.

changed uni?!
OHHH I'm now a student of QUT, no longer a Monash-ian. HAHA:P Was in the lecture for the Nutrition course for half an hour and I nearly dozed off and got melted in the lecture hall, so I left my sis alone and went off to library which is still under renovation. :S pinkish but yeh, not too much of a good environment to read/ study at the moment. On the other side, I'm feeling lucky that I didn't decide to take any sci subjects after Form 5 because it's still boringgggg to me, after attempting to concentrate in the lecture.
Going back to Melbourne in 2 days time, but still don't feel that much of excitement, maybe it is because I am too desperate to spend more time with the family. And a bit too stressed about my final semester, where can I escape to? GAH!
Missing classes for the first week made me feel a bit guilty since I've just checked uni's blackboard and tutes have actually started! I'll have to catch up on it a bit more when i get back this sat.
Just to remind myself by noting it on the blog, I have to get my resume and cv done perfectly before applying to any companies. Amitabha bless things will go smooth for me. PLEASEEEE. Now it's another stage for me and I HAVE to face it, growing up is nothing good, seriously.
Ok, final words to myself: STOP PROCRASTINATING FOR GOD'S SAKE!
And to my dearest readers, sorry for not updating my blog for 10000 years, I've been busy since the beginning of this holiday, travelling in between East & West Malaysia and Brunei, enjoying yet tiring, especially for my parents, and the pilot. HAHAHA LAMEEE. Will get back to this 'home' when I leave the 'old nest'. :D

ok i'm starting to feel panicked about this...
13 Graduate Interview Questions to help get that Graduate Job!!
Published 15/12/2010 12:00:00 AM by Interview Mastermind - Landon Long
Interview questions aren’t always so simple because employers are some tricky bastards. They say all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons and sometimes its hard to know exactly what they’re trying to get at. Relax. Just don’t be a smart-ass and try not to create any negative connotations when answering interview questions and you’ll be good.
But since we know you’re going to go in there and might have a panic attack anyways, we’ve collected some of the common interview questions for you to think about ahead of time.
1. So, Tell Me About Yourself.
“Well, I burn weed, get wasted 7 nights a week, and sleep with someone new every Friday night.” Yeah, it seems like asking this and expecting the truth is about as brilliant as asking a hooker if she has STD’s before purchasing. The thing is, in their interview questions they aren’t just testing your confidence and communications skills, they are evaluating you as an investment, because that is what you are. Tell them why you’re a worthy investment of their time and energy, mean it, and deliver. If you can’t answer interview questions, how are you going to get the job done?
2. What Were Your Duties in Your Last Job?
They don’t care that it was your obligation to clean the toilets on Fridays. Pick the three most important, hopefully relevant, tasks you performed regularly. Word it like a mission statement and make it relevant to the job at hand. “I was responsible for creating and nurturing customer relationships,” is a playful spin on answers to these types of interview questions. You might maen the same thing, but at least you dressed it up to sound pretty.
The way you describe your responsibilities paints a subconscious picture of your worth—do you really want that picture to include you scrubbing the inside of a toilet? List your most valuable contributions when answering interview questions and let them fill in the gaps.
3. What is Your Ideal Work Environment?
If you’re applying for a job pouring cocktails in a back alley of downtown New Jersey, you’d better mention your fondness for slobbering barflies and mopping up vomit. The trick is to make your “dream job” a symbolic representation of the job in question.
Don’t kiss too much ass, but put it in their mind that you’re a perfect fit. If you do choose to say that all of the negative aspects of the job appeal to you when answering interview questions, it’s not going to be very believable so don’t overdo it. Also, your reasons should be more idealistic and impressive than creature comforts and fringe benefits. You don’t want to give the idea you are selfish.
4. What Was the Biggest Project in Your Career For Which You Were the Catalyst?
Don’t start talking about your group effort to isolate and terrorize Jenny from Sales until she had a nervous breakdown and checked into a mental hospital. They want you to answer interview questions like these with work-related projects here that were in the company’s best interest. Answering interview questions such as this is your chance to demonstrate motivation and drive.
5. What Would Your Ideal Employer Be Like?
“One that never comes to work.” Just kidding. The fantasy of an undisciplined workplace might be a nice thought, but you wouldn’t have a job long with that kind of chaos. And since they will be there to direct and guide you, they want to know what to expect of you. Are you going to be a headache? Is it all about you? Rather than describe a boss, describe the kind of healthy working relationship that bosses dream about. You don’t have to lie with these kinds of interview questions, because who wouldn’t want a perfect working relationship with their boss?
6. What Do You Know About This position?
This is the time to show you know what you’re getting yourself into as well as illustrate your research abilities. Talk about the duties involved and what they mean for the company as a whole. It’s always good to relate your role in the company as part of a bigger picture because that is their perspective when you’re asked these types of interview questions. Getting on their wavelength builds rapport.
7. Do You Know Anything About What We Do?
Wow—they’re really giving you the chance to show-off how well you prepared when they throw these interview questions at you. I hope you have. It’s time to talk about the company and where they fit in the industry. Also, touch on the relationship they strive to create with the greater public. It’s important to convey a respect for their role and a desire to be a part of that when answering tricky interview questions. Don’t dog on their environmental track record and all the baby pandas they kill—not if you want the job anyways.
8. Why Did You Leave or Are You Leaving Your Other Job?
Not the time to say you’re boss was an arrogant asshole. Everything should be framed positive. You want to open up new career opportunities. You’re intrigued by the future of the envelope industry. Your want to ride your bike to work. Don’t lie, but be tactful.
No matter how reasonable you reason for a less than positive exit, if you bash your incompetent boss, the mental seed will still be planted that it was your fault. Employers identify with employers, not employees. It’s human nature, so handle these interview questions with care.
9. When Are You Available to Start?
“I don’t know. I’ve got a lot going on this week, and next week my brother’s coming to town. After that is St. Patrick’s Day and there’s a big party at my boyfriend’s place. Can I call you next week and let you know?” Even with a crumbling economy and lack of jobs, you’d be surprised at how many grads pull this rubbish. Set yourself apart.
The best thing to do is ask them when they need you. Even better, look them straight in their eye and say, “Right now.” You’ll be surprised how often that gets you a job on the spot, so be ready to back it up. Never answer interview questions with anything but the truth because it could bite you in the ass if they expect you to follow through right away.
10. What are Your Biggest Strengths?
Develop a personal statement that outlines three of your biggest strengths, and use it when these types of interview questions are asked. It will ALWAYS be asked in one form or another. Just make sure it matches the needs of the company, and remember that it isn’t just about your strengths—it’s about your strengths matching their needs.
11. Describe a Challenge You’ve Faced with a Colleague.
Don’t mention the fistfight you had with the baker when you used to bag groceries. Tell a story that puts you and the other worker in a positive light. Talk about a misunderstanding, but focus on how you overcame it with good communication.
It’s important to note that they know you have flaws you’re not revealing even if you frame everything positive, but constructing those mental associations will leave good thoughts that far outweigh their curiosity about the truth. After you leave, it won’t be your answers to your interview questions that linger, it will be the emotions you crafted by placing images in their heads. Negative connotations are not a good idea.
12. Are You Okay With the Salary for this Position?
If you want the job and the salary is fair for the market, you should probably say yes. This is a point where you better have done some research because you’re answer may decide your quality of life for quite some time. If you want to be able to ask for raises later, mention that you are happy as long as the job fits your expectations. Since they’ll probably dump enough extra work in your lap for another you, this gives you room to bitch later on. Save that stuff for outside of interview questions, after you’ve scored the job.
13. Tell Me About Your Biggest Weakness.
“I can be a bit of a perfectionist.” “I can’t stand it when other people don’t work as hard as I do.” Oh yeah, me too...brown-noser. Applicants have sat in that same chair feeding them that BS for weeks. Try something different when asked these age-old interview questions.
Talk about how your strengths can work against you and how you deal with that. Being original in your responses to interview questions will make you stand out in their mind more than anything else, and you don’t want to ever use a cookie cutter answer—it creates the impression that you are lazy and like to cut corners.
You can’t predict every interview questions that will be thrown your direction, but that’s okay because being able to think on your feet is a great demonstration of value as well. By preparing for these common interview questions you’ll walk into an interview feeling more confident and collected. Not only does your interviewer unconsciously read that in your body language and speech patterns but these kinds of feelings will keep you in a positive state of mind as well.
Learn to cultivate this state on demand, and even if these interview questions never come you will walk out a winner.

Happy 2011!
Currently in Kuching now with the cutest cousins ever, having great time being a nanny, not so much of it when they have grown so big, almost taller than me. Sigh.
Promise to update more when I am back to Brunei.
Ex-housemate from Melbourne, Anusha is visiting Brunei for a week right after I go back to Bru. Can't wait for those outings with highskul mates and yeap Anusha I'm including you in them!
And to remind myself again, I better have a good start for this new year, be a good daughter and stop 'KEK-ing' my parents, I hope they can live longer so I will try harder to be an obedient and a daughter who can make them proud! I WILL BEEEE:D
Goodbye to all the suay-ness in 2010, IT IS GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR! AMITABHA BLESS.
_____________________________________ <3
Here is a photo of a cutie that can definitely make your day and below are some of the hot babes' photos. Oh I think I saw some green-eyed monsters. HAHAAA
It's the first day of school for them tomorrow. And as a uni student, I can still shake my legs, somehow feeling a bit of stress after re-viewing the descriptions and assessments required for the units this coming semester, final semester indeed. GAH STRESSED!
Forget about it for the moment, the day will come itself. two more months to torture!
My holiday to-do-list, practice piano I can't see where have I gone, nowhere. Others, sigh *shake head by myself. DAH DAH DAH. I will do everything when I am back home.
What a busy holiday! And a warm one indeed:D

I had no other choices but to walk away
Call me a loser or whatever, but when it started to feel uncomfortable being with you, I actually think it works better to stay away. There's no use forcing anything to strengthen the bond again or whatsoever. At least I tried, or I tried too hard I'd say. Thanks for not giving up on me, thanks for the patience given consistently, but it is just too tough, and even it's fixed, so what? I hate the stress I had being with you, and the mask I've to wear all the time, that's just not me.
I know I'm such a useless person, but bear with me. Well, I think we shouldn't even worry about anything. Just leave it, because it's good for everyone.
Thanks for the time spent. And I actually feel so disappointed in myself (mostly) for spending a whole of 7 months with you and ended up here. How pathetic.
I should stop thinking about it and get over it. the sensitive me. SIGH. I'm making my life hard. HAH.

RIP birdie
Living in a country with four seasons for the first time (sorry I'm from kampung/ village, haiz equatorial country!), I am pretty excited when I could wear trenchcoats/ scarfs/ boots during winter. BUT NOW, I miss wearing shorts/ something with thinner material, cos I'm so fed up of wearing layers when I go out, worrying how cold it's gona be and all.
Spring is here and it's turned really warm (well, mostly. thanks to the unpredictable weather in Melb) during daytime, and it could suddenly drop up to 10 degrees lesser than daytime at night. crazy isn't it?
Despite how unpredictable the weather is, we still manage to survive, maybe get a lil sick at times, but look at this poor little bird. SIGH, blame the weather. it's frozen to death, pity it:(

End of the sem2!
Sem 2 actually ended last week. Finished two tests, did okay I assume, and now, shake legs a bit and probly can start off revision for the one and only exam ard 12 days later! :)
(For your explanation agen, it's that I have 3 exams but two of them are being scheduled earlier than the exam period, so it's called Tests, and I have done the two of em)cos people have been yelling at me ' WHY DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE EXAMMM GAHHHH' and they attempted to bite me, so I'm giving explanation to stop ppl from lookin at me with green eyes. HEHE
HENCEEEE.... while shaking legs too freely, I FORGOT, yes i FORGOT about going to gym and started relaxing a lot! look at my weight again! sigh it increases so easily but to lose it again is so hard! GOSH!
To introduce again, these two are the pillars I have in Melbourne, like twin towers. Since they are so much taller than I'm, I can be the bridge in the middle.
And went DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) with Angeline, a lot of people said we look alike, do we?
oh btw, DFO is where you can find really cheap branded stuffs, but you gotta have the patience to flip through one by one, in detail in order to find nice stufs. ;D this, you can learn from me, i'm such a pro shopper (nothing to be proud of actually, I rather I excel more in academic stuffs HAHA:P)
Compare this to my fb profile pic taken two weeks ago. OMG. how can i gain weight soooooo fast! *biteeee
So looking at this look-alike of me, but a slimmer version, I suddenly am motivated to go gym again! THIS WEEK! I WILL WORK HARDER!
FOOD FOOD FOODDDDD I HATE YOU! (no i can't lie to myself) I LOVE FOOD, yes indeeddddd
We got ourselves something realllllllly worth it that day! Duty free shops are awesome! :DDD
Update more when I have time to calm myself more (in mind) and back to blogging mood! Till then, loves, hotbabepei

Another day off:D
Since I'm finally done with another assignment, I decided I should go do something I like the most- KARAOKE!!!!!!!! WUHOO! :D d-uh.
YOU! Yes YOU! please come entertain me when you are free cos I basically stare at the laptop for the whole day when I stay home. Not sure what's gona happen after a longer period of time, maybe something good might happen, I will not be able to talk forever. HAHA:P good for ppl around me. Peaceful world for you guys. HAHA:P
That's why I've became noisier than before when I go out, like I got excited really easily, laughed like a crazy woman (as always).
Introduce you guys to the FAKE pro- Weiloon, He is my new advisor in picking of songs cos he is really good in listening and giving comments (after watching xing guang/ One Million Stars since the first season). Really PRO.
Sandra and I, I still can't really get used to call her sandra cos I knew her in childhood and I used to call her Lisuang. :) She wanted to sing k together during this trip to Mel from Perth, and there we went, her voice/ tone of singing is still good like last time!
Oh this Jason the sexy, he was being very generous in showing his cleavage that day. wahaha
WAH look at this handsome camwhoring. haha, good one since he took us as the background, where's the real high-pitched pro Pangwu?!
After karaoke, it's dinner time, Japanese buffet " $28 each person, order as much as you can! I swear I ate food I could have eaten for one week, when I was on diet for those two weeks. WASTED!
The carnivorous. 'Meat I want meat!' HAHAH!
END OF THE DAY: lesson learned: singing karaoke and eating buffet can be VERY exhausting.
YOU! Yes YOU! please come entertain me when you are free cos I basically stare at the laptop for the whole day when I stay home. Not sure what's gona happen after a longer period of time, maybe something good might happen, I will not be able to talk forever. HAHA:P good for ppl around me. Peaceful world for you guys. HAHA:PThat's why I've became noisier than before when I go out, like I got excited really easily, laughed like a crazy woman (as always).
Introduce you guys to the FAKE pro- Weiloon, He is my new advisor in picking of songs cos he is really good in listening and giving comments (after watching xing guang/ One Million Stars since the first season). Really PRO.
Sandra and I, I still can't really get used to call her sandra cos I knew her in childhood and I used to call her Lisuang. :) She wanted to sing k together during this trip to Mel from Perth, and there we went, her voice/ tone of singing is still good like last time!
Oh this Jason the sexy, he was being very generous in showing his cleavage that day. wahaha
WAH look at this handsome camwhoring. haha, good one since he took us as the background, where's the real high-pitched pro Pangwu?!
After karaoke, it's dinner time, Japanese buffet " $28 each person, order as much as you can! I swear I ate food I could have eaten for one week, when I was on diet for those two weeks. WASTED!
The carnivorous. 'Meat I want meat!' HAHAH!
END OF THE DAY: lesson learned: singing karaoke and eating buffet can be VERY exhausting.Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Bird out of the cage for one week.
It's Mid Sem Break this week.
So this little bird flew out of the cage and had fun for two days.
After being in the cage for the majority of her time in two weeks, she actually realized staying in the cage saves her a lot of money and also it helps so much in staying away from temptations, specifically food temptation. HAH. :P
The link is here (about the show)
So 7 of us went together with qihan's mom involved as well. :) It was SUCH A GOOOD start of a day when I came out of the house with a pair of shorts, cos I was acting smart to believe that it's gona b sunny and warm like the previous day, and even after checking weather forecast where it says cloudy and minimum temp somewher 10 degree celsius, I still decided to believe it is gona be warmmm. DANG.... it rained and luckily eqian's fren brought us jackets, if not it's gona be even more terrible sigh;S
Learned a lesson, not gona act smart next time, and don't be so 'hiao', wear shorts somemore. I MISS WEARING SHORTS BAHH! Has been covering the whole body for a few months, can't wait till it's warmer. stupid inconsistent weather here. GAH i feel like biting!
So.. Royal Melb Show makes me think of Jerudong Park in Brunei, which is so much funner, just that the colour of the rides/ booths r not that colourful as the one here, but the rides are far more awesome and cheaper than those here. 15 bucks for a ride kinglin n daniel went on, PER ride ok. Different prices are offered for diff rides though. However I'm still not satisfied with the pricing cos I think everything is so overpriced! Playing one game to throw 3-5 balls is AUD$10 wei. I miss Malaysia/ Brunei now. :(
And two nights before was a birthday celebration of 'Mushroom', a friend from musical/ Melbourne Uni. Think it's really cool to set a dresscode like how she did cos it makes every single photo look so much more interesting. Had fun taking photos. haha all sampats.
Purposely chose this cos it's a fake non-airport-photo (if you get wat i meant). HAHAH!!!! There is another one taken which is super-slim (fake one agen) taken with a wide-angle lens, that's in FB. haha!
I hope I have more time to have fun but it's really time to work on the last assignment, get it done, get exams done. AND FLYYYYYYY OUT of the cage to KL den Brunei! WUHOOOOOOO

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
I'm blogging while munching on an apple atm,
working hard to lose some weight, hope the determination lasts this time, after failing for hundred times.
I missed those times when I looked down to the weighing machine which says 45kg, I really do.
Now my strategy is to gym, and eat less. Tummy got a lil smaller these few days, esp after being sick for two days.
I feel like I was dead, cos I slept for more than 12 hours a day when I wasn't feeling well, heavy-headed and didn't even feel like cooking. I hope someone else can be with me to take care of me, whoever loves me. :(
AND who said an apple a day can keep the doctor away, I'd say sometimes no matter how hard you try to keep urself far from the doctor or from death, it wouldn't work.
Cos it's fated when ur gona die. At least I believe in that, cos life is just too short to not enjoy it to the fullest.
I am in doubt now, should I feel contented with whatever I have now (since life is too short to complain) or ask for more to make improvements in my life/ myself?

I am once again, lost in the highway.

When I grow up,
There will be a clearer distinct between dumbness and smartness between people,
Black and white aren't that simple anymore, there is a zone called grey,
You don't show how you truly feel in front of people anymore at times,
You find people more evil than how you actually thought and in another way you yourself have to go further away from the nice person you used to be in order to protect yourself,
You know you need to start searching for what you really want in the future but is still unclear about what it exactly is,
More is expected from you because you are 'older' and no matter how hard you try, expectations never end,
You know you are nearer to the day of oldness and sickness and you know you gotta appreciate the days even more but the pace is going too fast that you missed so much of the beautiful scenery along the way,
You know you are nearer to the day of losing your love ones but life is so busy that sometimes you tend to neglect some significant moments with the loved ones while you still have the chance to,
There is more responsibility to be taken and less excuses can be used to slack as much as you had,
Life is busier and sometimes you just had to sacrifice some parts of your life reluctantly and prioritize on something more important,
People get more self-centered because the reality is we are stepping into in this competitive world when we grow up...
So much to complain:(
When I am growing up, I hope someone can give a big slap on my face when I am losing the old me.
(HAHA Don't find this excuse to slap me! )
(HAHA Don't find this excuse to slap me! )
Growing up is such an annoying process, I hope I don't grow up so quickly.

Useless
Such a useless person!
This girl,
She didn't bring him to much places during his visit,
She always didn't think of what to prepare for breakfast or lunch or dinner for him, and she even overslept most of the days and wasted his days for the trip,
She went for musical rehearsal most of the days in a week and left him walking alone in the city/ somewhere else,
She found an excuse to forgive herself, saying she's too exhausted from uni, rehearsals and bringing a guest to places,
She let him go on a tour by himself, alone.
OMG so much more, and she's feeling really bad.
Such a useless 'tour guide' right.
Noone is blaming her, but she just couldn't get over it. GAH
I am so sorry. Promise I'll make it up for you:)
Ballarat 4/9-5/9
Spent a weekend at Ballarat which is around 1 hour plus drive from Melbourne city. Thanks Laura for driving us there:) It was actually a trip for Amy's birthday, these two girls will be introduced later on hahaha:P
Road trip is always fun, those fake-like-photoshopped-pictures sceneries, made me think of New Zealand trip two years back, I miss my family!
Also we saw this cute baby swan (wat's the actual name?) hiding into the wings (looked like it went through from the butt hahh!)
Weather wasn't too good for those two days, it rained, rained more heavily, stopped and it came again. sigh... See what happened when we just reached our cabin, branches fell when the wind was blowing so fiercely, and the little buggy with an old uncle came and saw them off.
Stomach bloated so much after those two days but enjoyed the food a lot! My diet plan- total failure. The pic is not all the food we've eaten, more to come!
This is Laura from Singapore, the girl who makes me think of Sheeling cos her english is damn good too.
p.s don mind about our shitty look, imagine walking under the rain for half a day. ;S
This is another young girl called Amy Lui, from HK. Been in Tassie for highschool, very talkative and hyperactive. haha:) Happy belated birthday again!
-ends- hahah:P I'm too smelly I gotta shower.

Blessed.
This photo doesn't relate much to the topic of the post but w/e. haha:P
I'm not so much of a camwhore now, due to... insufficient time to use per day gah!
Can anyone tell me how time flies in the past 6 months? This is already the sixth month in Melbourne and I guess I am so much better in directions nevertheless I still get lost sometimes. You should ask my tall and shy friend, Desmond for this, really grateful for my friends' patience in leading me to places I wana go. :)
I'd say life has been really meaningful and busy in the past few months but I'm glad that I've finally found the satisfaction I've been longing for since I finished highschool.
Assignment ones are all completed, but it's really scary that I haven't been doing much readings when I realized it's already Week 7. HMM... time to catch up?
Still too much in mind, I should start gym soonish, I have a very strong will to lose some weight recently when the reality tells me that 'chubby' (in a better word) girls sometimes are being neglected more than hot babes. (It applies to... when it comes to guys). I'll try to gain more confidence by losing some weight, but yeah... noone will be putting hope on me anymore since I've never succeeded since Secondary Four. HAHA:P No matter how bad are the insults were from some ppl about my 'body size', my response will still be a smile on my face, with a slight heartbreak sound inside, after that, I'll forget about it, and the whole process repeats itself again and again, for years.
Someone tell me again, how can I stop ignoring things happening around me, and be more observant and less clumsy. SIGH.
Looking at the bright side, I've a question to ask... AM I TOO BLESSED with all the people I've met in my life/ around me?
Never had I met any evil people in my life, most of them are really nice and angelic (HAH!)
Good and supportive housemates and friends, loving family, have you ever seen your friends' expression when you achieved something and they are so happy for u and you can see it's really a true expression coming from their heart? Well, I could feel that at that moment and although I didn't say anything, I secretly chanted a prayer and hope our friendship will last.
You guys are more than enough of what I've always wanted as my good friends, you know who you are, and I'm sorry if I'm too busy with my own things and get too self- centred at times.
You know I truly appreciate you and it's just too hard to express everything out in daily life as it might be too .... 'emotional' haha:P
Seriously, I am blessed with the existence of all these lovable ppl <3> :D

Stressed? No more!
I think I have thousand words to say, but that pic above shows what's in my mind;D
It was a beautiful experience, another colourful page in my life booklet.
I am glad that I joined this musical.
Someone asked me how did I get into this production. I actually joined a singing competition in March and there is this production manager from CMG who passed me a name card and asked if I'm interested to join the musical. Then...blahhhh. haha:D
Thanks Siekieh Lau!
It's been two months, travelling down to city at least 4-5 times a week, I had three important things to do at a certain period of time: Mr.Teh, Uni work and Musical.
I'd say it's been really tiring but worthwhile, I'm saying that with no regrets.
I tried doing my best for this time although acting is not my strength, and singing.... hmm I didn't perform my best for the song in this musical cos the range for that song is the biggest I've ever got to perform on stage. Thanks for ppl who's been giving me encouragement non-stop throughout the rehearsals. It wasn't easy to hit the notes and perform well when I didn't have much time to practice. I hope I have been patient enough.
It was awesome that miss jiani joined this with me, so that we keep each other company at first, and later on joined this BIG bunch of MONKEYS! I guess it's destined that crazy people are meant to meet crazy friends. GAH! hahah:P
It's been a successful performance! Should I say performances. 5 Shows! Maybe more than that including rehearsals! GOSH. I am missing those moments eventhough it's been taking up sooo much time. There r a lot of awesome ppl in there and also very very cool director Felix Ho!
Thanks yiqian and weiloon for the flowers and bear!Also, Thanks to Mr.Teh, Mr. Teh, Dolphine and friend, Housemates: Suren, Patrick, Dino and Zaki, Bn Friends: Pawhui, Desmond and Uncle Ethan, Jowen and three friends, and for the last show, Eqian, Vic, Carmen, Zelex, Weiloon, Qihan, Leepoh, Kimmunn, Huikuang, Sherlynn, Christina and two friends, Laura, Amy, Dorothy, Angeline, Daisy, Kinglin, Daniel, Jiayun & Peggie for coming for support!
Hope you guys enjoyed the show! And thanks for wanting to come:DDDDDDDDDDD You don't know how much it meant to me!
AND P.S Another Q&A
Q: Do you guys get paid?
A: No, it's a non-profit organization, the money earned from ticket sales should be put into CMG fund I assume.
