Yay! I wrote a new script for 24h playwriting competition. The comments I’ve gotten for it have been things like “It’s damn freaky.” & “Yao Guang, you’re sick.” Yea, so you can guess how freakish Wonderville Asylum for the Under 18 is. I really want to work on improving this script ’cause first of all, this is my second proper attempt at a script and it’s a totally different style from the previous “Being Perfect”. Well, while I don’t really think scriptwriting is my forté, I think writing scripts is a really fun thing to do, unless you have to write it in 24 hours, in which case is a nightmare. Trust me, even the caffeine overdose doesn’t help much.
National Day was fun! Ok, there were some boring bits here and there. But I did win 40 dollars worth of NUM vouchers. ^^ I’m looking forward to getting a pair of Havaianas. I pity the school though. They must have spent an extravagant sum on the stage and it didn’t even get used cos’ of the wet weather.
Speaking of extravagant. I think Beijing has the most expensive Olympics opening ceremony in history with 40 billion dollars spent. No wonder they could afford to colour the entire sky in fireworks. I thought Singapore could have been more original in their entrance though. So forgettable they were.
Anyway, I don’t know if I should be looking forward to the IMCB attachment. I still don’t understand why I even signed up for it in the first place. But, heck, anything’s better than boring old school right?
So, I just want to thank God for all the things that have happened in my life these past few weeks. For being with me every moment of my life, watching me, crying with me, laughing with me and taking my burdens onto his broad shoulders. It’s been a hell of a ride, with bumps and slow monotonous junctures, but I still made it out alive.
And I just want to share these nice lyrics from a Casting Crowns song, East to West:
Jesus, You know just how far
The East is from the West
I don’t have to see the man I’ve been
Come rising up in me againIn the arms of Your mercy I find rest
‘Cause You know just how far
The East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other.
I thought the lyrics were very meaningful and original, maybe even comparable to Donne’s metaphors in his Holy Sonnets.
P.S. HAPPY 43RD BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! (My, my, I hope we aren’t entering into any mid-life crisis…)
