My memoirs

Yeah I was watching Memoirs of a Geisha. Hence the tittle.  Her story is sad and yet very much inspiring. I thought I just…ramble. Don’t really have much to blog about now so yeah…rants and rambles now.

Sigh. When You think of the word ‘memoir’, well right about now, the movie stated above would come to your mind. Some poor little girl taken from family and grew up to be some one respected or well liked or well known. Why doesn’t anyone think of their own lives? Memoirs means an autobiography. An account of events in a person’s life. A journal so to speak. A journal of a typical teen girl would be one of the most random thing in the world. My memoirs aren’t far from that. But the one thing I like about memoirs and about reading memoirs or journals are the scandals. There are scandals in every ones life. You. Me. The person in the other room. Everyone has a scandal and a thing or two which they aren’t proud off.

Hey, we are only human. Reading memoirs of others, we don’t realise that they are human too. Memoir of a real human, not an alien. When we watch movies based on a a true story, we don’t realise that they are true. We can’t imagine several hundreds of scenarios being true. Sometimes we look at our own lives and we just wonder what we did to get ourselves there.

I am in the position currently. I’m just pondering about my memoir. It isn’t the most grand or exciting. But it is human. I am proud to say that…

It is human…

what about your memoir?

Australia Trip 08:Entry 7-Endinburgh Gallery, Port Arthur and more

While I am exploring my brand new dashboard (thank you again people at wordpress.com), I am viewing the blogs of many others, checking in on friends and telling you about my trip so far.
Although I might not…actually more like should not be doing this (I don’t even know if I am allowed to do this), I feel like I need to help advertise this motel I am currently residing in. Yes, it is a motel. Not hotel. Motel.
Endinburgh Gallery bed and breakfast. Yes, I finally got the name right. It is actually an art gallery. That would explain why the rooms looked very show room. There are many pantings and interesting furnitures. In fact the whole place is like one big master piece. It is a really interesting place to stay in. You are durrounded by so much art. Its not your 5 star hotel but it is a good place.
We went to Port Arthur today. It used to be a prison and it is an interesting tourist site. If you enjoy history and old artitecture, Port Arthur will be an interesting location for you. It reminds me of the old castles in soctland really. The stories of the prisoners there are interesting too. My mum got this 19 year old boy who escaped and til this day is still at large. Not to worry. He escaped a long time ago. I think he’s dead now.
The church there is amasing. There isn’t an alter or anything…there just is an old building with no roof or floor. It looke sort of castle like. There are 8 bells too. The bells were seperated and the eighth bell went missing. One bell fell and broke and the remaining bells are now displayed in the old church. All but the missing eight bell. If you know where that bell is LET THE PEOPLE AT PORT AUTHER KNOW.Yup, they are still looking for the bell.

The culture here is very different. It is rude not to ask a person ‘how are you?’. All this while I thought I was being polite when I wasn’t. So many dirty looks were thrown my way in melborne. Here not so much. They dont really ask how are you.
Some interesting photos will come up soon…As soon as I get off my ass and upload them. Haha.
I’ll post them seperately.

you haven’t seen anything yet…

ladies and gentlemen…you think you are neat…you haven’t seen anything.

My day at the Art House

Today, we, the drama girls, went to the arts house to perform our piece, The Former Three Little Pigs. Well, technically I helped direct it so my darling drama girls performed the piece. I took a video of it and hopefully I can get it posted up as soon as possible. 

I am very proud of those girls. They did alot of people proud: me, our teachers, our director and instructor and our school. And , although they had one performance, they did a lovely job at it. Our audience was really pleased and I understood how nervous the girls were when our teacher in charge asked me to do an introduction 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE. “No problem” I exclaimed. “I know what to say.” I was thinking OH NO!!! Fortunately everything went very well. (YaY!)

After our performance, we went to watch another school’s performance. Since next year most schools around the Island will be competing in Singapore Youth Festival (SYF), we thought we should look at our competition. Boy, were they good! I didn’t like some bits for their performance but still Boy, were they good. No. I’m not scared.

I’m way of topic now. Just so you know why so many schools are participating, it is because this event is entittled Celebrate Drama. It is a place were we can meet fellow actresses from other schools. We can watch their performaces and learn from them. This is where we are given the opportunity to learn from each other. I think we learnt alot. We learned alot and had fun as well. That is what is important.

I think we took away something that we couldn’t learn from other schools. We got alittle bit closer. OK. The words ‘a little bit’ is no where close. We got closer. We had fun. We rocked it out at the arts house. Even until when we were buying donuts from one of the other schools, they kept asking if we would do another performance and we said we just had one performance. They looked really upset because they didn’t get to watch. LoL.

It was a great day.

Fall for you by Secondhand Serenade

Why on earth did I get hooked on this song? Its so sad and brings back sad memories; memories that I never wanted to remember. I’ll share it anyway.

Fall For You lyrics

The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start

Oh, But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I’m yours to keep
And hold on to your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you’re asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

Desperation:not very deadly

How do I put this?….

This is complex cause I don’t know how to start. Okay. I’ll try.

There are times where you don’t want to hurt someonebut you have to because you know it is best for both parties. Then the other party blackmails you and threatens you in a way. This is a complete sign of desperation. The other party doesn’t want to let go because it needs that security from you. The other party thinks that by black mailing you, you will come back and pretend to meet your end of the deal and your feelings are completely opposite.  You just have to remember once you are blackmailed, you know the person threatening or blackmailing you is doing so out of complete desperation.

The other party has nothing to lose but that security you gave it. My advice: leave the other party to its misery. If you know what you are doing is the best for both parties then leave that second party in its desperation and misery. There is not much point in a compromise because you are not going to put your heart and soul into it. The compromise, just like the deal before that, would be a waste of time. Just move on. The second party doesn’t need to be given into. They need to move on. You should first before they do. Set the example.

Desperation is pathetic and should not be given into. You only make people spoilt that way.

Time to Get Smart.

Wow. Get Smart is an excellent movie, full of comedy to the extent you have to perfectly time when you are going to eat your popcorn to prevent it coming out your nose or getting choked on it. I’ll tip my hat to everyone involved in the movie. Action and comedy all rounded in one; only way to describe it.

In tis movie you learn that knowing your enemies and their lives can help in a big way. You can either used it against your enemy or to get you out of a dangerous situation. Agent 86 a.k.a Max researched his enemies every well that when he was in a life threatening situation, he was sympathetic towards his enemy and gained his enemy’s trust. We all can learn from this, even in the business world.

By knowing your competition’s weaknesses or/and strenghts, you are able to munipulate these factors and use it to your advantage. Learn from your competition and get into their mind.

I’m not sure if this should go up but I’m putting it here anyway. This is useful in the dating world too. Learn your love interest favorite dinning area, flower, sweets and interest but don’t seem too stocker-ish. Birng up alittle things casually.

Anyway, it is always good to know things about people.

Time to get smart huh?

The ‘American way’ might not be the right way after all…

I need to do this post real quick.

I hate how the world is becoming ‘americanised’. The american way is not the right way all the time.

Example:’
A very good friend of mine told me that yesterday she was molested by a guy we both know. He feels that he defended her during many arguements in our group and that she needs to please his desires as a way of thanks. She has a boyfriend and she feels that this is like cheating on him and the guy molested her. I don’t know the exact full details. They were too traumatising for her to recall.

She thinks that his guy is thinking american sytle. I have to agree. He thinks he can sleep and play around with different people because he did them ‘favours’. I have lost all respect for him. He hurt my friend. In a previous incident he gave away my concert ticket to some random girl because he thought the girl was ‘hot’ ( his hot isn’t really hot). Good thing another friend had an extra ticket for me.

Anyways, he hurt my friend. I’m going to take this very personally although I’ve said I didn’t want my personal life on here. She is my friend. I love her so much, she is like a big sister to me and for him to go and hurt her, well, he is just asking for a big ass kicking.

It is considered a crime here in Singapore. She hasn’t made a report yet tho. Our teacher adviced her to make a report. I did too. It was for her own good. He needs to be taught a lesson. I don’t think she wants this guy to go around hurting other girls too. Stop him now before more lives are ruin.

I don’t think she has shared this with anyone but me and my teacher. We were singing in the ‘choir’ for mass and he was playing the key board and he kept disturbing her. I thought it was a friend-friend thing at first until after mass when she told me. She didn’t tell me who the guy was. I thought it was the usual lift molesting. It wasn’t until my teacher asked her if she knew the fellow and she said yes and immediately I knew who it was. My teacher figured it out too.

I really hope that all girls who are in the above situation realise that it doesn’t matter if he is your close friend or just your friend, he has no right to harm you in anyway. Report it immediately. Take my advice. If you let the fellow run around and do this to more girls, more lives will be ruin.

Stop the madness.
