the problem with natural leaders is that they make themselves known. They can't help it. No matter how they try to hide.
Now therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans." 20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 Therefore they inquired of the Lord further, "Has the man come here yet?" And the Lord answered, "There he is, hidden among the equipment."23 So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward. 24 And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?" So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!"
The last few days were intense. I swear, if the Hall profs had pushed me a bit further... i could have just dumped everything, let them handle their own production if they want dictatorial powers. Fortunately i didn't... control has been regained. there is a plan in the works. losta shit flying. Some i have to take rather than let the others suffer.
this video and the subsequent episodes realllly made my day... hahaha!

yes i shamelessly wish i didn't have to deal with idiots. But as the video shows, when it comes to media censorship, Singapore has its own unique brand of idiots.
Bah Humbug.
Change is possible. Let votes do the talking. One day we'll be a true first world nation.
now rehearsals are starting again and thank God my asst. directors and other directors are beginnin to stream back in. Workin without extra hands was crazy. I don't understand how some movie directors have the time or energy to be control freaks. I've been pretty laissez faire about most things in life and i'm still sometimes up to my neck in trouble.
Had a truly memorable New Years countdown with Nicole, Edwin, Joash, Su-lyn and Yu-qin. In fact, b'day, Christmas and everythin in-between was brilliant.
yup got a chance to catch up with noelle and vic too!
I'm actually lookin forward to 2008. no reasons to. perfectly plain silly optimism. Letting my heart take the lead again.
first major compliment of the year really got me thinking. Nicole told me i'm the "sane-est person she's ever met". And believe me, she's met tons of people. beats my record every time no matter what i try. anyway, back to that debatable compliment...
I was stunned. i've spent a greater part of my life believing i was crazy, if not badly eccentric. A girl named Michelle once told me i was throughly irrational when i said i wasn't too worried over the impending exams cos grades aren't everything in life. Maybe, just maybe, i'm ok but the rest of the world is insane? Now thats gettin existentialist.
excerpts from "For the Girl" by The Fratellis
Aw she said she said no no no no Then again yes why don't you kill me He asked him why you messed up right there Sweetheart you know that don't thrill me Said I would've been there for if you had been a little bit nicer I was dead by Sunday half dead scared just trying to please her
She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses She was breaking my bones when I was bursting their noses She would tell me a secret I would lose it the next day Young love pleases you easy Makes you sick in a bad way And all the while the girls sang La la la la and she sang Kickings for my sweetheart Bruises that I just don't miss And she said "I can't love you anymore than this!"
