Imma stay strong

Munching on a piece of tim tam. Dark chocolate. classic dark. Never fails to make me happier.

Just finished watching another NIDA production and it brought confusion in me hahaha. I dont know if I like it or not...

My mood now is apprehensive. I know I'll survive this entire production period and I know I will get better. I just wished that I could stop making mistakes altogether.

I think Ive slowly gone back into a hermit hole. I remember how I used to be this sour face who didnt take jokes and my cousins would tease me and call me names. And how alot of people think I look serious when Im not smiling. I dont wanna be that way again...

I think the way I got out is through having confidence...but my confidence has been waining abit these days.

And I cant help but think about past times that I had sunk that low.

As I was walking home from school last night, I sorta wanted to tear and in me a small person actually blamed my upbringing that made me feel so conscious and small.

Thinking back about it, its not fair to think this way anymore. no parents are perfect and nobody can be blamed anymore than my own mentality.

Im gonna have to keep telling myself that Im stronger than I feel. I will do this! I will!

I guess we in this industry are destined to go through all this and in the process of reaching there, we build nerves of steel and become bolder and more in control.

In all this, I know Im gonna look to God for all my strength. I know Im stronger than allt ehr est because I have Him. He will be my peace in the storm. The peace and strength that keeps me int eh stronghold when I start to feel like my confidence is under attack again.

And this forcefield of strength will get stronger.

GOd Bless

Opening Night

Went well but not well enough. Always something I need to do better...Im not perfect.
My confidence level has been played to all sorts of levels. Part of the SM game.

I know it isnt always others making me feel bad or lousy. most of the cases its because of me. I need to speak up more. I need to be proactive.

I think my body and my esteem is tired.

To be absolutely honest, i feel like I could tear a little. I know Im stronger than that normally but this time I felt abit hurt. not anyone's fault. Just the hay that broke the camel's back.

I know that to redeem myself, I have to do it better and better. it cant be rocket science...

I just wanna go home and rest now. tomorrow will be better. Always need to remind myself that Im better than all that.

God Bless

bad dream, sour face and compliments

So I had 2 bad dreams this week. No..call one a nightmare and another one a bad dream because it wasnt bad as in frightening nightmarish, but it was a good dream that would be bad for me.So my nightmare was of my mum, auntie and I running away from a huge crack in the ground that was growing. We were running away from the crack.The bad dream was me dreaming of my ex again. Which was a nice dream but it wasnt a healthy one. I dont wanna be dreaming of him anymore. Not that I have been for hte past years. In fact its suddenly come back. I suspect that its because some of my friends have recently had similar experiences and me trying to comfort them and show them that there are people who go through as much shit...made me think about these things again. Note that I don't have that strong a feeling as when my stories first happened. But the dream still came back. Sigh. Dont worry. I dont sink into the emotional abyss anymore. I just sigh and wish i had someone else in my life. Lol!In due time yah. in due time.
Anyway Ive been super busy with rehearsals. My production is getting busier and busier and Im getting more stressed and etc. I guess hte challenge is really to work with people whom I may not feel very comfortable with. To continue to bite my lip and work with them even though Id much rather not. Note that this isnt me complaining and kicking a fuss. I am still handling everything that I can. Its reality to work with people we don't like and I am not running away from it. In fact, every emotional or mental challenge I get makes me a stronger more emotionally stable person. It shows me who I can be if I force myself. It shows me who I should be and who I shouldnt.
In fact Im trying to not be affected by sour faces and to take compliments hahaha to claim my compliments. I know that Im someone who cant take compliments which is bad! I need them to make myself to better and work well.
God Bless

Okay sooo I should be doing Prompt copy now but ....

Since my last entry, my time has gone to Prompt Copy and my production. Time is too short here.
Anyway...needed to take time out to disgest my dinner and get some peace of mind...rest from stress.My lifestyle hasnt been healthy these few weeks. Been snacking abit more. the type of food I eat etc...
I have been taking up dance class every saturday but still that isnt enough to stop my body from its aches and pains. Damn it!
So yap. Im not doing fantastic. :/ But Ive been trying my best.
Its production period. This also means that my time to rest is little.
So little time for rest and so little time for Jesus. Of course, I can hear a voice going, "make time!"..yap.
so true. I realize that without God, I feel like Im fighting to be better every day. Which tires me out easily. It may seem like the normal thing to do for most people. But I just don't see how that could be life.
I miss my church and I miss my home. I miss being around people I know who do care for me and whom I do care and enjoy being around.
As you can see...my thought process is abit messed up now. Dnt worry. Im not being hysterical or depressed or anything. Im just throwing in random things to unload myself :)
God Bless
