Fluid and Mush

Christmas just flew past! It was awesome. With all the heartwarming messages on Christmas cards, my heart is all fluid and mush now. Jan is right in saying that while nothing awesome is going around with the going out and celebrations, the true reason to celebrating Christmas is God's greatest gift to us all. So that's enough for me.

It's been a five day break of NO JUST SO. Tomorrow, Monday, will be back to usual business. From 2 Jan onwards, it's rehearsal til 10pm. I NEED A BIG HUG.

Recently, I've been caught up in my world of Just So. I've slacked in my quiet time, preferring to stone or space out. I've not been reading the news, so I've only vaguely heard about the floods and crashes happening.

Over the next few days, I gonna come up with a few New Year resolutions. Reflect on the godly advise and encouragement people written to me in Christmas cards too.

Christmas 09 is coming

Christmas is coming! And as usual, I ponder on the meaning of Christmas. First, I sigh at sight of how Christmas is so commercialized. Second, I have to write Christmas cards. Third, I wait for the highly expected date to arrive and pass me by. It'll be like, 'Yay, Happy Christmas everyone. Oh wait, it's boxing Day already???'

Just So is tiring!!! But a lot of fun. There are definitely sacrifices though. Like I had to miss my cell's Friday Christmas gathering in the evening due to EXTRA vocal training. It felt so wasted because of the 3 hours I stayed behind for, I practised for 1/2 hour only for my song. My co-actor and I waited for the other soloists to finish. It's just part and parcel of working in a group, you know.

IF YOU'VE NOT BOUGHT TICKETS YET, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Bethel Family Church Camp 2009

I just came back from a 4 day 3 night church camp at Malacca. I'm tired!

A lot went through my mind in this camp. As always, I thought about my relationship with God and people, and realise there are so many areas I have to improve in. The year is coming to a close. I've made some big decisions in the very recent months, and I'm still not very confident of them.

I also read finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, recommended by Julia a long time ago. A very interesting book written by a brilliant journalist.

Ok, Just So prac early tmr. I'm so on.

The Hols are here!!!

Hey! Wow, it's been a long time since I blogged. Janice was right when she said in her blog, you blog more when you're busy with school work.

Firstly, let me announce that this post is the first I'm typing on my very new Mac Air!!! Yeps, I got it as a Christmas present from my dear old Daddy. What can I say? I am a very charming daughter. But of course, I still feel pretty guilty cos it's extremely expensive and many people (especially the boys!) feel that the Macbook Pro is more worth it. Well, my Fujitsu is a really good notebook except that it is really heavy and after a year and a half, I cannot take that dead weight anymore! I did consider those mini notebooks, but aiyah, they not chio la.

That's when I considered the MacAir. I've always been really apprehensive towards Mac, they look so high and mighty, it scares me. But thank God, Josh is a very competent Mac user and has helped me put in some cool stuff. He gave me this crash course on how to use the Mac efficiently... Well, it all kinda just flew over my head. So, I'm still gonna take some time getting used to it. And did I say it's really light???? :D:D:D

Enough said about my new toy. Since last Friday, I've been having musical rehearsals non-stop. Mind you, rehearsals are Mon to Sat, 10-6pm. Yesterday's practice was til 8.30 ok!! Having been stiff for ages, I have to do dancing again now. Reminds me of the days in Cedar where my muscles were always very sore. Sit and walk also pain! Our choreographer, Fil, is fantastic but really strict. He expects nothing but your ALL.

I have a production number duet with Serene, who is by the way a really pretty lady and awesome dancer and singer. It's really cool working with her. The next time I log in, I hope i can share some videos and photos. Remember, tickets are now selling at $18. Very soon they're gonna be $25. Quick, email me at annadreams89@yahoo.com.sg or @gmail.com if you want tickets. 22nd and 23 January 2009. Don't miss it!

Me as Zebra

Yeap, I'm playing as the zebra in Just So musical. You can check out it out at http://stilesanddrewe.com/

We did a photoshoot this afternoon at our school's very own photo studio, called DryCab, run by the cca group SMUSAIC. Anyway, doing my hair was a nightmare. It was so painful and a lot of hairspray was used on me. I can't believe I'll have to do something like that again on the real days.

Remember, tickets are at $20, 22/23 January 2010. Come support me! You'll love the musical. :) Tickets sold at SMU. Contact me if you need tickets.
