The past 1 over month.. My musings.. ( A letter to myself )
Went thru' alot for the past 1 over month already..
After so much has happened.. after all the crap I've been thru'..
I've finally made up my mind to change my lifestyle, which is the one I had been having for the past 1 over month.. :p
( Of course, there were personal reasons I got myself into that kind of lifestyle.. )
There is definitely much more to life than just drinking; smoking; pubbing; clubbing all the time, almost every night, just to occupy one's time, to prevent loneliness, to avoid feeling the emptiness, to prevent from going / staying home, thinking too much..
At the end of everything, we still wake up in the morning still feeling empty & maybe even more emptiness & feeling even worse than before.. ( hangovers, regrets etc.. )
Back to cruel reality & life.. even though the activities the night before, could temporarily "fill" up the "gap", by allowing one to forget our problems temporarily the night before..
However, all these ain't gonna solve all the problems, stress, loneliness & emptiness in life that night, or the next morning, or forever..
I've had enough of this kind of lifestyle!
I've made up my mind & decision to change it!
It's been 1 over month & I've had enough of all the drinking.. smoking.. pubbing.. clubbing.. headaches.. heartaches.. crying.. getting so drunk that I had to puke all my guts out.. losing my voice & getting my throat inflamed from so much drinking.. so drunk I needed my friends to come & send me home..
I've had enough! Enough is enough, Grace! Wake up!
There is definitely so much more to life than waste it away this way!
There are so many people, friends & loved ones of yours out there who really love you, care for you, concern for you, watching over you!
Stop wasting your life, health, time & effort on those who don't even care a damn about you, deserve you, your love, your tears & all you've ever done for them!
Grace! Be Strong! As you always were & used to be & still is!
Get on! Move it! Move on in life!
There is so much more to be done ahead!
You've already wasted so much time wallowing in your sorrows, self-pity, regrets & stupid mistakes for the past 1 over month already!
It's time to pick yourself up from now on & move on to greater things you can do ahead!
Nobody's gonna be able to do it but it's me myself who have to stand up to everything & be strong!
To learn to love & respect myself, for others to respect me!
I've had enough! Now it's time for the strong Grace to be back!
Be the woman I used to be!
The Grace men & women used to adore, respect & look up to!
I can do it! I know I can!
Cos' I'm so over it! :)
Yours truly,
Grace Tan

Ocean Butterflies called me.. Congratulated me upon succeeding in my auditions..
Ocean Butterflies called me on Tuesday evening.. Congratulated me upon succeeding in my auditions..
But you know what's the best part???!!!
They told me that I can start classes on the 8th of July & the course fee is $998.00!!!
Excuse me?!
Why should I pay you guys??!!
If you guys really want me to act, you guys should be paying me instead!!! :/
They said the course will last 3 months. Lessons will be held every Sunday 2-5pm & we will have to pay the course fee by end of June!!
I was like, thinking, "This is absurd!"
During the auditions, they mentioned that for those people who were selected after the auditions will be given a contract in singing /acting..
Now we have to pay to get a contract with them???!!!
And what makes us think that that means we may necessary obtain a contract with them when we finish attending the classes!!!
They even mentioned that they can't & don't promise every single person training under them a recording / acting contract!!!
Anyway, I don't intend to join them.. So I simply told them "I'll consider.."
And of course, when they call me again end of this month, I'll just simply tell them "I'm not interested & I'm already attending an Adult Acting Workshop. "
* Talking about the Adult Acting Workshop / Drama Workshop, it's starting again today & I'm so looking forward to it!!! We had so much fun during our last workshop in March / April.. * :)
Guess I'm still more interested and cut out for acting in English dramas & plays.. ;)

Finally went for & done with my 2nd audition with Ocean Butterflies & J Team Productions yesterday.. :)
Yeah.. Worked till 4pm yesterday & then headed to the Red Dot Traffic Building where the office of Ocean Butterflies & J Team Productions is, for my 2nd audition..
Hmm.. kinda surprised that they were very few people there for the 2nd audition yesterday..
Yeah.. As I've mentioned before, I already feel very happy, honoured & satisfied that they selected me to come for a 2nd audition as only selected few were chosen.. :)
It was altogether a very interesting, eye-opening & fun experience to go for both the auditions.. :)
I enjoyed myself.. :)

Ocean Butterflies & J Team Productions.. :)
I received a call from Ocean Butterflies & J Team Productions ( Jack Neo's production company ), asking me to go down to their office for a 2nd round of audition on the 22nd of June, 5pm..
Yeah.. I didn't mention this to you guys before.. :p
On the 4th of June, I went down to their office for an audition as they were looking for new faces.. ( I applied, they called, so I went for it.. ;p )
That's their office at the Red Dot Traffic building, located at Maxwell Road..
That's the poster seen at their office's window..
I really didn't expect them to pick me for a 2nd round of audition, cos' why I went for the 1st, was that I just wanted to experience what it was like being auditioned & having the opportunity; privilege to audition & act in front of a panel of knowned judges, like Billy She Huai Liang, ( the very well-knowned bald-headed guy & judge of "Project Superstar", "Superband", etc.. )
I really never expected the company will pick & call me back for the 2nd round of audition cos' only selected few are chosen..
Anyway, we shall see how it goes.. ;)

THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY A MAN... ( a close girlfriend forwarded me this very interesting mail ) It's very true! ( I know cos' I'm turning 30 myself )
*THIS HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY A MAN...*
This is for all you girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30s...*AND for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!!...
This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.
Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
- A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
- If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game,she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.
- A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom.
- Women over 30 are dignified.
They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.
- A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends.
- A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.
- Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.
- Women get psychic as they age.
- You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They Always Know.
- A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women.
- Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
- Older women are forthright and honest.
- They'll tell you right off if you are a Jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal.
For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.. ;p

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
To Kill A Mockingbird - by Harper Lee
The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Putlizer prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behaviour - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 15 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American Literature.
Why the above introduction? :/
Cos' I'm reading this book now.. hehe.. ;)

Managed to visit the library last Sunday.. :)
Last Sunday, I managed to have the time to visit the library for awhile.. :)
After browsing through the shelves for awhile, I picked a book to borrow.. ;)
Guess what I borrowed?
I know it may sounds kinda "kiddy" but I picked Lewis Carroll's paperback Penguin Classics of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. ;)
3 classics all in 1.. :)
‘Contrariwise … if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic’
‘I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole … without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,’ wrote Charles Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one ‘golden afternoon’ in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a disordered tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling word play, puzzles, paradoxes and riddles, are poignant moments of elegiac nostalgia for lost childhood. Startlingly original and experimental, the Alice books provide readers with a double window on both child and adult worlds.
This is the most comprehensively annotated edition available and includes the manuscript version of Alice’s Adventures Underground and Carroll’s essay ‘”Alice” on the Stage’ written for The Theatre in 1887.
Edited with an introduction and notes by Hugh Haughton

20th Singapore International Film Festival..
I managed to catch 2 short films at the 20th Singapore International Film Festival held at the National Museum on Tuesday night, 24th April, courtesy of Clement who gave me the tickets..
I caught Boo Jun Feng's "The Changi Murals" & James Leong & Lynn Lee's "Aki Ra's Boys"..
Nice.. :)
I, especially like 'Aki Ra's Boys" as it's a docu- feature on the life of the landmine kids in Cambodia.. :)
Aki Ra's Boys:
Boreak and Vannak are Aki Ra's boys. They are considered the luckiest boys in their families. They live in a home in Siem Reap, along with a dozen other young landmine victims. And despite both missing a right arm, neither child has time for self-pity. They're too busy exploring the bleak and beautiful world that is Cambodia, too busy playing, learning and dreaming of a day when they can be just be like Aki Ra - a former Khmer Rouge soldier turned anti-mine crusader. [Shown with The Changi Murals (18 mins).]
Director: James Leong, Lynn Lee
Country: Singapore
Duration: 63min
Year: 2006
Rating: PG
Date Time Venue
24/04/2007 21:15:00 National Museum
25/04/2007 19:00:00 National Museum
The Changi Murals (world premiere):
A lyrical look at a set of five biblical murals that changed the lives of countless prisoners-of-war during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. The murals still exist in a military airbase today, tucked away and forgotten. Boo Junfeng was the Best Film and Special Achievement Award winner for his short A Family Portrait - in SIFF 2005.

What I'll love to do when I'm on leave, not working etc..
I met up with Clement last Monday night at Vivo City for dinner & just to hang out..
While waiting for him to turn up, I spent 1 over hour browsing the books in PAGE ONE located on the 2nd floor of Vivo City..
I love that place.. it's a mega book store which carries an extremely wide range of books of different categories & topics.. :)
I just love spending all my free time reading books.. I can spend endless of hours reading in a library, bookstore etc..
Most of the people close to me will know I'm a crazy bookworm.. once I start reading a book I enjoy reading, I can read non-stop.. oblivious to the world around me.. I can skip lunch, dinner, sleep etc.. just to finish reading the book as soon as I could..
I'm really looking forward to when I could take a day off again, so I could again do the things I like to do when I'm not working..
Like.. hmm.. let me see..
- Spending my free time reading books..
- Browsing in a bookstore / library..
- Taking strolls ( anywhere ) ( alone or with a close friend / soulmate )..
- Having a cup of hot tea in an alfresco cafe & with a good book / watching the world go by around you
- Catching a movie / play / film alone.. ( can be very therapeutic.. trust me.. )
- Visiting a place you've never been to ( alone or with a close friend )
Judging from what I do when I'm free or on a day off, it's kinda hard to believe that I'm a sanguine person, ya? ;p
Well.. I'm not that "noisy" as you guys always think I am, k? ;p

Judging from what I do when I'm free or on a day off, it's kinda hard to believe that I'm a sanguine person, ya? ;p
Well.. I'm not that "noisy" as you guys always think I am, k? ;p

My drama workshop started since the 22nd of March..
My drama workshop started since the 22nd of March..
It's a very interesting workshop..
I've been acting since I was a kid..
I've taken part in drama since I was in Primary & Secondary school.. I've even took part in some drama productions in church.. & even though I've had so-called much experience in drama, I've never really "studied" drama from the very basics..
What we "covered" during the 1st lesson of our drama workshop was really useful..
They were very basic stuff, yet very useful & helpful to us to understand, to "feel", to "read", to "capture" drama better.. ( ok.. it seems like I am getting "chim" here.. ) ;p
We learned to keep the "energy" going in dramas & plays, we learned to read thoughts through actions, we learned to express our emotions through acting, to improvise etc..
We even had an interesting homework given to us.. ;)
