Did some thinking yesterday. Why all these angst recently? PMS? hahahaha... Nah..guess you do not realised that the smallest thing happened can actually get you all jumpy and frustrated. Well, the feeling is much better today 'cos of the thoughts that happened last evening. Internal reflection, internal arguement, internally at peace.

Ok, blogging in the office where no one is around can be quite fun. Like doing illegal stuffs. Another illegal thing that I've done so far is to store a bottle of Vodka in my cupboard. I'm not a alcoholic, c'mon..sometime we do need to relac alittle, Happy Hour. Yum Seng!!! ~~

~ "The Moment" happens only once where the right people, right place & right chemistry gels together.~ random thoughts of what happened last Saturday evening.

Part One: Mood Swinging
Step into the room
the instantaneous air took the breathe away
the aura that it emits affect everyone's mood
The swinging mood is deadly
The swinging mood is contagious
It makes the air so still

Too still

Part Two: Speechless
%*$#@*(&*.....

Not all kindness will be appreciated with equal respect
Think twice before the step is taken
Don't expect any gratitude in return

What's the feeling like when the 1st message of the day is actually a sad news?
Death note, death messages.
A sad way to start the day. How about 2 such news in the same day?

Grey...

Indeed, I start to wonder about life.
the fragility...yet at the same time its powerful...
Life has a timing. Everything happens with a reason and timing
Maybe its time to leave
Maybe its has been pre-arrange

Maybe its fate

Finally the work has began...after 14 days of 'honeymoon-ing', the real thing kicks in 'hard' today. Actually, kinda glad it happen now or else my motor is getting a little rusty and it's hard to get the engine started. A good day started at 8am in school, understanding how's the marketing mechanism for arts platter work on-site during day of event. After which, SAFmeeting kicks in and suddenly I have 5 new main projects to take care of. Very excited but not sure if the budget is good enough to bring in some really good acts that I want to do. Next, the real presentation of arts platter and I am 'overwhelmed' ... Yes... that's the words to describe the act I see that was put up by the student. Not at all close to super star quality but very self-indulgence. Hahah.. and I must give credit to that boy cos he is really bad but entertaining at the same time. Very unbearable to hear him sing ... yet its really FUNNIE!!! ... Follow on was another meeting with an external hirer and finally the last meeting of the day is to meet my 'children'. Yes .. I'm now an advisor or 'TEACHER' or 'Cher' as what the student likes to call us... a solid 2 hour meeting to brief through this half year projects plan and their proposal. Interesting lots of children. Some bubbly, some quiet but quite enthu'. And the day ended at 8pm. A solid 12 hrs .. haha.. quite exhausting but rewarding. Glad I can impart some of my knowledge to the next generation.

Hahaha...'cos i don't want to 'died' at such a young age.

Hmm...Induction Programme. An 'interesting' 2 day session of introduction to the culture of the organisation. All i can say is 'I ALMOST DIED' during the session. Yes, it was so ... so .... so ... BORING! Not at all interesting because No. 1: the speakers are not very entertaining, No. 2: the speakers are defensive, No. 3: the topics are very DRY! I feel it is a waste of time. They should just put everything in 1 full day session on the day you report to work and get it over and done with. Why do they have to make us suffer now? Why? ... Anyway, there is Day 2 tomorrow and I hope it will be more interesting.

Ok, a recap of my past weeks of thoughts and activities: Culturally entertaining, creatively inspiring and mentally exciting. Caught a few productions which were still quite bearable and 'eye-opening'. There are some exhibitions and production which I really like to catch but I do not have the time to do so. Anyway, I've visit the ZOO at my workplace. Hahaa....and I'm officially the new member now. Not sure if I'll be visiting it that often but I hope not. Don't think I will turn it into a habit. Managed to 'bond' a little with my co-workers and starting to be involve in my work now. That actually make me quite a happy person. And yes, I'm helping out in a special talents audition that will be happening this Saturday. Quite excited about it 'cos its going to be public. Just like those 'sg idol' type of scale publicity drive for an upcoming musercus production. And lastly, rollerblading session had come to an end for season 1, and I'm proud to say that I still know my skills well even though i stop for so many years. Now, I've master more skills and confident!

'HELP' - aid, assist, support
As the meaning of HELP depict an action of warmth and humanity
But does it really occur in our society with sincerity?
Maybe or not totally.

Or should I put it, depending who you are referring to
Recently I encounted an incident, especially in the industry that I m currently working in
'HELP' is a common word we used and usually most help were answered by kind souls
And all the helps rendered will be appreciated and remembered
In case or in near future, it can be return

Some how some where, some people do not relate to such equation
When some people in need of help, their cries are being answered by kind person
But when kind person in need of a little support from some people
Some people just turn kind person away
Such attitude, such idiotic excuse is not highly recommended in this industry
Sad to say, some people do not learn no matter how many years they are in this industry

So, what should we do?
Teach them? or axe them?

Is there a choice?
Sad to say, there is none.

It's like Canada Vs India.
Not trying to be racist here but its just a feeling
Being thrown into a whole new genre
Not sure where or how to start
Guess time will show some light and point the right direction

But visual arts or all arts is such a subjective topic
Its not easy to please anyone
'Slapstick' entry definitely appeal to layman
But 'slapstick' require its quality at the same time
In order to make 'slapstick' look like some atas curation

Monet Vs Andy Warhol Vs Van Gorge Vs Picasso?
Who will you chose?

Feel like nemo lost in the deep blue sea now~

Day 3 of a new chapter.
Amazing how coincident the day is numbered here.
A new chapter of life has began.
A mixed feeling.
New environment, new faces, new experiences, new faces and more new faces ...

Wireless and Paperless.
Something new for an old cow to adapt to.
Reminded constantly to take it slow 'cos you are new.
Eager to plunge into the whole new world.
Eager to leave the mark, the mark of 'expertise'

Take it slow. Take it slow. Its only Day 3.
