+ Job Hunt +
Today's interview with Mediacorp was really cool, i think it went even better than the Lucasfilm interview. The wielders of the force still haven't gotten back to me yet. *pouts* So if i pass this round, i'll have a writing test with Mediacorp next. Bring it. Writing impromptu is almost as exciting as acting impromptu, but if i secure this screen writing gig, i get graduate pay. Acting will give me an awe-inspiring 6bucks an hour. But hey, since its tons of fun doing both, i wonder if they'll let me try both at once... hmmm... I haven't given up on the force just yet... i just wish they weren't so tardy. I just wanna find something secure to latch on to. These past few days have been so crazy i think whatever happens now will change the course of my life. God, u are driving funny but i trust you anyway. On a side note, i chatted with my job competitor and apparently she's done honours. How to fight?! will my experience be enuf to see me thru? But it'll be damn cool if we both get in lor! cheers! *raises wine glass* wow, i realise i havent done a good cheers in awhile

+ On a separate note... i need a break from this world +
lucasfilm update: no word on if i'm getting the second interview yet. I'll wait till Wednesday. Then I shall forget it. I thank God that in the whole of Singapore, i'm among the few who got shortlisted for the first round, how many can attest to that? heee... Either way, backup plan ain't too bad either, applied for a vacant script-writing post with mediacorp... still waiting on that one too On a seperate note... Filming of "The Assignment" by TPP alumni peeps is over, well, at least my contribution is over. Can't wait for it to come out on dvd. On a seperate note... I watched Dark Knight twice and i'm still not sick of it. Maniacally impressive for a PG13. On a seperate note... I wanted to see the world. I expanded my horizons. I went out to meet people and hear their stories. Something happened yeah, and now it occurs to me, the more people i meet, the more people disappoint me. Suddenly i feel very much alone in a world that is quite literally getting fucked upside down. I'm frankly tired of the pubs and the clubs and whatever fuckshit made promises to happiness in this world. I'm going home, going back to church. So long and good night. When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. —Deuteronomy 18:9 I try to do the right thing. Is there no one left who tries that anymore? Intergrity is.. just.. so.. difficult... Bruce Wayne: what would you have me do? Alfred: endure can't stop tryin. mustn't stop trying. you know, sometimes we find certain songs great because we can infuse them with our own meanings. now i sing this song, and i sing it to God. Chris Daughtry - Home I'm staring out into the night, Trying to hide the pain. I'm going to the place where love And feeling good don't ever cost a thing. And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain. I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going home. Well I'm going home. The miles are getting longer, it seems, The closer I get to you. I've not always been the best man or friend for you. But your love, remains true. And I don't know why. You always seem to give me another try. So I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old. Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don't want. Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, yeah. Oh, well I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old. I said these places and these faces are getting old. So I'm going home. I'm going home.

+ a long time ago, was it really that long? +
location scouting later today damn, why did i wake up thinking of you.. again? Some wounds just never fucking heal. in one more month it'll be 1 year's anniversary (or thereabouts) of you walking into my life. and the verdict is still unsettled over whether that cameo built me up or torn me down. timing was next to perfect. I had just emerged from the first parable project with a new sense of purpose in my life. I had just been appointed Director for Hall Production 07/08. I was feeling invincible. and then you happened. i wonder why i pour myself into film making, cos art imitates life? cos every pretense ends with the roll of the credits? cos each journey of conception to creation with a group of friends is extremely rewarding? cos this work brings me joy... and doesn't betray me? God, i know you're driving, can we not venture so close to the cliff's edge like that? I'm not invincible. I am, however, invigorated at the prospect of a new film...

+ Unfold +
hi blog, im here once again to escape the perennial drudgery of writing groveling cover letters and resumes. considering i'm still unemployed, things still worked out for the best, cos i got the chance to work on 2 short films... buckets of fun, and perhaps heightening my chances of breaking and entering the industry. As i've probably explained before, these films are meant to provoke people into deeper insights about life. At the same time, i take some guilty pleasure in imagining these films helping me advance a career. I guess the same applies to playing guitar in church, we do it for God, but hell, do we ever get such a kick from it. That doesn't make it evil. Our sacrifice is small and our burden light, nothing compares to the sacrifice which Christ paid for our freedom. Thank God for our abundant skies. I finished script writing for "The Assignment" the day before yesterday cheers *raises wine glass* |
