Beautiful, moving performance.
Sometimes we try so hard to build a foundation but it ends up cracked and broken.
Maybe, maybe. We need to try harder...
Hail Mary.

Temasek Talent Time 2009
2 weeks later.
Even though I didn’t get the chance to participate in talent time, I was happy to be part of the event as the emcee. Co-emceeing with Nicholas Eng. Well, SC thought that having 2 Nicks emceeing would be humorous so… er, search me.
So after countless rehearsals and getting bombarded with comments like “You guys suck” and other really nasty stuff… we managed to pull off the entire event! Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and I hope the audience actually found us humorous!
But I must say there was a lot of talk about the judges’ comments and the performances because even though there were smiles, laughter and cheers on stage… back in the holding room, there was a lot of tears. Yep.
All in all, I thought that talent time brought all of us closer together because we all wanted to do our best. And I got to know more of my juniors as well, give them encouragement (they were all freakin’ stressed) to spur them on.
Anyways, now that all these big events have died down for now, I might take a back seat. Talent time would most probably be the last time that I will be emceeing. Yep, unless there’s another really big opportunity to emcee again, I’ll just pass and concentrate on Drama.
It might be a blessing in disguise after all. (:
I look tired in this photo. Big eye bags. =(
This is a picture with the acapella group, Donutella!
Cute outfits right? 
Aver and I!
Nick & Nick!
Talent Time Emcees! :D
Hail Mary.

I’m in two minds as to whether I should be blogging right now because I am so not in the mood. I don’t know why I just have this inexplicable lump of sadness in me since yesterday. My heart hurts, my stomach feels like a malfunctioning washing machine…oh and I constantly taste blood in my mouth because my fucking gum is bleeding.
You know, I enjoy seeing myself bleed once in a while. It reminds me so much that I am human and I have blood coursing through me… sustaining my life. Anyway, I wasn’t in the mood already and then I decided to go on Facebook to attempt to socialize but nooooooooo, I go to my wall and see that I’ve been flamed. Thanks, like I need more things to worsen my day. Not to mention whatever this person said is entirely not true, it’s but a fucking misunderstanding!
So much for being “friends” on fb. Hah!
Why do I even bother sometimes? Why why why.
I feel like going up to somebody insult his ass off and then proceed to totally bash him up and just… ARGH!
Someone call up the doctor. I need Prozac. Stat.
Hail Mary.

Love your enemies
Have you ever watched a movie about a superhero and wondered how they lived through all those adventures? They get shot at, blown up, fall from twenty storeys, and still finish without a scratch. We may think about these stories ---- as pure fiction, or at best, unreasonable exaggeration. But you don’t have to Superman to love your enemies.
So how do we do it?
With a dose of reality.
Unlike superheroes, we don’t heal so easily. That’s the dose of reality. We may even want to forgive someone, but their actions have left scars on our hearts, and those scars don’t go away by themselves. We may have been devastated by a heartbreaking divorce, the loss of a job, a loved one’s untimely death or even the inability to achieve the results you hoped for.
Perhaps we were abused, rejected or betrayed by someone we trusted. To one degree or another, we all carry these kinds of wounds.
We may have resigned ourselves to carrying these wounds around, and we may even think they are just part of life. But the truth is, these scars can block our ability to see, feel… love.
If something is holding us back, we have to struggle and fight to set ourselves free.
We are all seeking comfort, guidance and we all hope that the pain will be alleviated.
Listen to your heart, for I am trying hard to listen to mine.
Hail Mary.
