I found my Chuunin gloves, and I found my black ballet flats from since time immemorial, which miraculously still fit on my feet.
And today I'm gonna graduate from the Singapore Media Academy's Television Acting Course (Teenagers).
In Gothic Lolita no less ^^.
But really what I hope for my graduation is that it doesn't lead me to something that doesn't lead me anywhere. I don't want my graduation to unfold into a dead-end thing. I want to use it as a checkpoint, and after that from there I want to jump into this crazy world of acting.
But if, *If*, I had my way, I'd start and end in theatre, and everything else would revolve around it.
Then again we'll see what happens.
Let's roll (:

These past few days - BAD

SATURDAY
Truth asked for another battle with me, and thrashed me 2-5 and left a bruise on my leg. It's still here. And crikey, it's huge! Mum didn't know about it till Wednesday though, because here's a fact of life: bruises go away.

SUNDAY
I overslept and missed the service in which my church pastor was ordained as a reverend. T^T

MONDAY
My digestive system got way out of whack.

TUESDAY
Truth started spasming in his sleep and yelling in his sleep. Apparently his frequent leg cramps acted up. I thought he was dreaming and so left him alone. But he wouldn't stop, and eventually the folks came in and yelled at me for not calling for them when he started spasming. I said I thought he was dreaming and Dad asked, "If you see a dying man in the street, will you stay there and not help?" (My answer would be "yes" but that had no link at all to my brother spasming in pain anyway.) Which got me extremely angry. If anything happens usually somehow they can link it back to me. If I'd called them, and nothing happened, I'd bet my allowance for the next year they'd scold me for wasting their time.

WEDNESDAY
Most boring lesson. Is all.

These couple days - GOOD

These days have been fraught with extremes. I don't want to put them together and dilute my feelings.

SATURDAY
My battle with Chloe yielded a 5-3.
We celebrated Ivan's birthday in church as a zone.
At long last all Naruto characters were unlocked on Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen.

SUNDAY
I went to AFA. ^^
I saw lots of cosplayers, and there was a kawaii short Byakuya.
I met Prisia and Yi Hui.
Earth returned from Taiwan and gave me an Ishida figurine.

MONDAY
My classes at the Singapore Media Academy started for acting. It was a slow start, but my abilities grew and grew and they eventually got to a working level that I had before leaving ELDDS.
Something beautiful happened. And it could only be made better by the fact that iTunes started playing We Are The Champions by Queen.

TUESDAY
The teacher at the Singapore Media Academy said I was very detailed. First compliment I got of the sort. But then again it seems I get comments that really don't seem to suit my person every time I attempt to act. (I remember the Sec 2s wrote, in their letter to me, that I was really serious when acting.)
I nearly cried at The Sound Of Music. Not Julie Andrews mind you. We're talking about the school musical of Saint Joseph's Institution (International). Awkward. Even more so when I look at the flubs during the musical itself. (At the Salzburg Music Festival a Nazi soldier attempted to unfurl a Nazi banner with one clean stroke. The whole thing came crashing down.)

WEDNESDAY
I finally got a script ^^.

let it be,
let it be,
let it be, let it be,
whisper words of wisdom,
let it be.

today i overslept by an hour and missed the service in which my pastor was ordained as a reverend.


...
lord, if all the world's a stage, and every man and woman a player, i pray that i don't stay a calefare forever.

The post about the Cedar Musical that's actually about my clothes.

Today was the Cedar Musical.
All I can say about it is... it was only too obvious that it was a Mr Sng production. Everything exuded that Mr Sng... atmosphere. Air. Thing.
Was very pretty.

I overdressed.
And washed my hair twice that day so it was excruciatingly straight. Conditioned x2
I followed the Kuroshitsuji Layer Code, and dressed in a white collared shirt, a black tie, a black vest, a jacket, and an overcoat. I wished I had the perfect white gloves, but I guess another day, another pair.
If I had a gold/silver timepiece that would've been pretty too. A chain may have been a nice touch too, but never mind. ^^

Black boots, black worker's slacks. Officially overdressed and smexy.
Miraculously despite the five layers (I'm a girl after all.) I didn't feel hot. I didn't feel anything when I slung my bag on my shoulder even.
Everyone was like @w@, and I guess for me this is a sort of redemption for what I did in July. Lolitaness can be countered with Butler after all. Although I personally like Kodona, I have neither the top hat, nor the vest, nor the breeches to back it up.

I'm still in my clothes. I don't want to go through the trouble of pulling it all off...
But I have fencing tomorrow.
Decisions, decisions.

ZOMG.
People more free than me exist!
Last night I sent the story about the bicycle owner to STOMP.sg
And now it's on Top 8.
Weirdoes... nearly 7000 views already.
The story is here.

retardyay!

I saw this outside my grandmother's house yesterday. It was written by a guy whose bike had been stolen. Twice.

Apparently he was so frustrated he wrote this and taped it outside his house.

This is the cutest don't-take-my-stuff letter I've ever seen. It's better than anything I could've done on my angriest day.

To the guy who had the guts to write this:

Kudos to you. But I don't think it'll get you anywhere.
