2 down, 3 more to go. Waiting for marcus and rachel to grace us with their presence, i am bored and i counted elephants on the menu of thai express, there are 609 elephants in total. Can someone verify that? Heheh. I'm tired and it's free cone day but vivo's queue stretched outside and around the kids playground so we boycotted bnj and had haagen dazs instead. So ariel n i are sitting here playing with our phones still waiting for royalty to arrive while the queue for thai express grows longer n longer. How inconsiderate can we get.
Today we christened Love, and here she is reading her psalm to her pet dog Praise. :) We choose the fear of the Lord!
Jokes aside, God is such a great God. I woke up thinking about what i wanted to give thanks for this week, and thought that nothing significant happened. Then i got an email saying that the production might be touring Australia. I was floored man! My rational hopes of it happening are 50-50 (and i'm being quite rational about the status of things, eg. Theatre spaces, band and set transportation), but God is such an immediate prayer-answering God. Hello daddy God, you rock my stripey socks!
Another rainy day spent studying in familiar ground, yet i'm surrounded by unfamiliar faces. It seems poly kids have gotten better looking, but their dressing's more or less the same all round, thoroughly nondescript. 20th Century Playwrights has taught me to love Samuel Beckett. :) Chekov comes a close second. Heheh.
NATASHA.(to Solyony) infants understand everything perfectly. "Hel-lo darling," I said to him. And he gave me one of those looks. I suppose you think that's just a mother talking? I assure you he's an exceptional child, he is.
SOLYONY. If that child were mine, I would roast him and eat him.
Monday afternoon was spent taking a nap,cos my dear acting for screen partner fell back to sleep after i called her at 1. A strange day this is, some kid downstairs is screaming hokkien vulgarities just after he said 'hallelujah! God bless you!' may God strike him dead, for being so rude.
Isn't it time to stop for God? Not just to slow down but to really stop and talk to daddy God. Strangely enough i wanted to blog about something else, but i felt quite prompted to snap the red light. Haha God speaks to me in the strangest ways, but it's all perfect in His time. And i need to keep assuring myself of that too. Good things are worth waiting for, right? :)
We had our last class for the west wing module today, most part of it left us confused (peer evaluation's gonna be a tricky process) but the later half was much fun, with an artistic exercise with props, and dinner at Dadi's- the WW's favourite indian restaurant. The picture above was from one of our rehearsals, when stef invented a game involving knocking off monks' hats from your opponent's head. The things we indulged in to pass time. Heh. I will miss my friends a fair bit really, but not much of the process. A long tedious one it was, and not very well-planned at all.
Late night in school again, by God's grace we finished everything in a day, a one-take, 7-min film. And God is awesome, i wanted to eat pocky crush yest cos i saw it at the john little fair, but didn't feel like spending money on it. Today as part of our props, a pocky crush appeared! The littlest things God does to make me happy. :) people are getting their energy back after the West Wing stint too! Nadia was noticeably chirpier while filming, something that made me quite joyful. Heh.
And it's not Santa and his sleigh. Sir Elton, how i adore your songs! But why is your concert gonna be held at SIS? The sound system will totally discredit your singing abilities. And is there a student discount? Not everyone who likes Elton is gay or as old as he is. Don't go breaking my heart sir Elton!
The west wing is halfway thru its run, and i'm feeling like a total zombie after the 2 maddest days ever. Of course the deal was sweeter with a bouquet of tulips and a box of chocs, plus the audience too, of dear dear friends. I'm so glad that i did my best when most of them were present. :) thanks be to God, He really always finds a way to cheer me up.
So the flyer does have different colour besides the usual blue it's dressed in! Tonight it's just white, one night it was red with running lights around the carriages. I think it's quite difficult to make singaporeans happy, cos i'm sure not everyone has the same taste. I don't even know what i prefer, red's too loud, i'm used to blue tho i thought it was quite ugly at first, and white just blended in with the construction sites around. Ah well.
