My first line ever!

Today's 26 April 2017. It's 1 day after my birthday.

Yesterday, I went to the Tanglin set to act as an extra (JC student/ customer) at Tanglin Coffee House. I had to wear and bring a total of 5 different set of clothes D: The reporting time was 8am but I was late, again. (I know... Bad habit... Need to change) I underestimated how slow public transport is zzz. I did add a 10 min buffer time to the Google Maps estimation, but I left house 10 min late, which meant no buffer, and I was late for about 25 min. Seems like a 30 min buffer is needed? What's more, it was at Infinite Studios, a location I've never been to. And it's damn ulu I had to walk for 15 min to get there from the bus stop.

When I reached, I saw Mei Na, and she told me there's actually a shuttle bus from one-north MRT station Exit B. =.= Well, at least I'll know next time. Mei Na told laoshi i.e. Director Lim that it was my birthday.

I had to go try on the school uniform. But as fat as I am, the buckle on the skirt was so damn tight I just didn't buckle. Also, the shirt smelled like fish. Ugh. I should bring deodorant next time.

And then, we just waited and waited until whew, finally my turn. Joanne (the intern who was asked to replace an extra who couldn't make it) and I went to change into the JC uniform. I was so slow somebody came looking for us :/ Annndddddddd the most amazing thing happened! DUN DUN DUN! The staff told me to mic up because I. HAD. A. LINE! Oh my gosh! This is my 3rd time being an extra on Tanglin, and I had a line! Yay! That line was something I've said a lot of times before during NUS Flag Day. "Hi, would you like to donate? Thank you!" Hahaha, the familiarity of the line definitely helped me in being more natural. But I'm so thankful I had a line :') My first line ever on TV! Hope I won't get cut out! I think it's gonna be Ep 515, and the rest of the time I was acting as a TCH customer will be in Ep 522. They've only aired until Ep 464, so probably gonna take maybe a few months before 515 is aired.

And then, after I was playing a cafe customer, I was walking behind another extra Diana. But an AD asked me to go do the shot again. I thought "Huh? Doesn't Diana need to do it too?" Dun dun dun. Got a big surprise birthday cake! Oh my god. I couldn't even imagine that the whole crew celebrated an extra's birthday! :O I'm so grateful for being 坤辉老师's student. So nice of them!

Saw lots of actors/actresses: Laurence Pang (Ah Gong), Wee Soon Hui, Richard Low, Jae Liew, Nat Ho, Taufik Batisah. Everybody was really friendly! :) Definitely going to go more often during holidays.




I think I can consider my first line as one of the best things that happened in 2017. :) So far, the other one is being elected as NUSPE's Vice-President. :) I hope more good things will come!

To Be With You 10.Don't Let Go 11.Your Eyes Don't Lie 12.Angels Of all, I like "Barriers" the most. No, I LOVE "BARRIERS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD It kinda surges through me. The others are really good too. I don't really like "Desperate". It gives me the shivers... Not David A's problem. I just don't like that word. So I feel weird at the beginning and end of the song. The middle of the song is quite nice. David A took part in the composing in 2 songs in the album. Which are: A Little Too Over You and Don't Let Go Hope everyone can support them. GAH. THIS ALBUM WAS REALLY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. Now I'm all over David A again lols. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting it to be this good. Cos you know. David Cook beat him again in sales. So I was thinking whether the album w...

One of the Things I Hate The Most

Today morning, Mummy flew to Penang to for my Ah Ma's wake, so my Er Gu Zhang is staying at my house while she's away, to ensure Daddy won't starve or fall down. Bcos I go to school until quite late. Oh yeah, lemme digress a bit first. I had my LSM3211 CA1 today, and although I didn't finish studying, I felt that it was so much better than last sem. What's different is that I tried harder to study this time, and yesterday night, I managed to stop myself from watching the latest episodes of 2D1N and 稍息立正我爱你! I know the proper thing to do is to finish studying, but I really did improve from last sem. For that, I need to praise myself, encourage myself, pat myself, because I learned that scolding myself is just going to discourage me. I have been a bad student since secondary school, and I think I've improved the most in this period of time. I am a perfectionist. I am not praising myself, because that's not a good thing. My brain used to turn off every time t...

Update

 Ok so yesterday I went to bai nian at godparents' house. Godma asked me in front of like 6 people that I don't know whether I still want Lego. And apparently recently there was an episode where Mama introduced the Godsis as her goddaughter to someone, and Godsis asked “为什么这么见外?” Then Mama asked me if I was willing to be called her 'daughter' as well. In my brain I was thinking "wtf?". I had never registered in my mind that there was such a big difference, especially since they had no biological daughters. Hello I call you Mama and Daddy, not Godma and Godpa. So maybe it was just me who thought that it's no big diff. But sometimes the diff becomes so painfully obvious. Then I said sure. Sometimes my brain gets stuck in the present. I can't find words to defend myself. Only after thinking about it for hours, or in the shower or in bed, then I find the words coming to me. Godsis is one of a kind la. Her actual surname is Chua but she says her surname is ...
