Bid farewell to a fulfilling 2012!
Delegated to SCAPE Countdown Youth Party 2013 - SMASHDOWN for videographing. The party was designed and planned similar as of a real clubbing room, except without alcohol. Haha...
Standing among the hot-blooded and youngsters gave me a feelings that I'd grown old. All bursting with energies while I couldn't catch up the fun with my breath. :x
In the past 365 days, I had developed myself into a better and stronger person. Despite all the lows and obstacles that had brought a good deal of depression and disappointments upon me, these are challenges that I'd successfully overcame by substantial and equivalent amount of effort and changed me for better.
It was a significant turning point of my life. The intense pain, sorrow, happiness, anger all came to unite with one another in 2012, the only special year. Contributing a great motivation for me to bravely move forward. I shall no longer be afraid of any obstacles ahead, as I'd defeated those in 2012, what else shall I be fear of in 2013? :D
Planning my 2013 goals. Update soon!
Follow me into a journey of 1.5 months intensive body training and diet! If you are looking to slim down and to improve your body condition, congratulations! You've come to the right place! You are welcomed to comment constructively and share your opinions and experiences relating to each posts of mine. I will be more than glad to exchange! ;)

Pain
No matter how much stress I have to shoulder, how much pain or fear I had inside my heart, they will always be hidden and untold of.
It is not like I'm bottling it up, but I see no point of imprinting those negative feelings or memories any deeper by verbally convey it.
It is not like I don't trust my closed ones, but I don't want them to worry and feel my agony.
I know I usually look happy on the outside, because I'd come to a point where I could hide my feelings so well. My past was such a mess I'm forced to or eventually become so positive that hardly anything could affect me.
If one had gone through the worst, the worse means nothing. I'd gained the power to turn the negatives to the positives. What an average person perceives to be big issue and brood over it, to me it is only a minor or neutral thing that I will continue to move on the next second.
I always remind myself to smile, inside out, no matter how tough life is. And I did.
Be positive. This is probably my greatest achievement of the year 2012, and it will be the life-long possessing skill for the rest of my life.

Baptism
Baptized 12 December 2012, mid-afternoon. This marks the day where I shall be reborn, as a daughter and a believer of the Holy Father.
Mark 16:15,16 - "He Who Believes and Is Baptized Will Be Saved."
Romans 6:17,18 - "To be made free from sin, we must obey God from the heart. Service to God is not acceptable if we are just going through outward motions. We must understand and sincerely mean what we do. This principle can be illustrated by other works of service to God."
Acts 15:29 - "You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell."
Thank you, Father, for bringing me to you.
Ahem.

Tough but happy! Learnt of my pros and cons in vocal skills.
Further Tips: http://www.360doc.com/content/11/0811/20/7478159_139710087.shtml
Hope I'm doing good. Looking forward to the next lesson!
So far my main problem is breathing technique. My vocal teacher Shirley and my considerably skilful classmates are very particular about minor details in the tone and rhythm too! Glad to have people of high expectations around me so as to guide me along the path.
对症下药 很重要!
And I realized, warming up your vocal cords before singing can help to lessen or prevent soreness in the throat. Relaxing your shoulders assist in your singing too!
Returned home right away focusing and fixing my weaknesses. Saw the effects immediately after utilizing the new methods! :)

It's the Audition, Stupid!
Holidays are meant for recharging, replenishing, relaxing... Case seems a little different here! I'd been working the hell out of me these days! Hahaha.. Enjoying every busy moment though.
After 2 weeks of hectic schedule, finally a considerably rest day for me except for a wardrobe fitting session this afternoon. I chilled myself in one of my favorite hangouts - finding some peace and comfort in the book village.
Grabbing some books and laying back on the coach. Happened to came by this easy-to-follow book which can be quite useful for any inspiring actors who want to be better in castings.
The outstanding factor of this book? It helps you gain insights of what the casting wants from you! While many probably teaches you on preparing oneself for audition, knowing the expectations from the client or director is even more crucial in landing you a role.
Simple rules. Utilize them to your advantages!

Food for thought, ladies.
Exams are over. Once again, I’m back to the camera sets and reunite with my
entertainment colleagues and friends. Coincidentally, fate has brought us
together, for some of them we happened to meet coincidentally on the same
shooting a number of times despite after a considerably long time not seeing
each other.
The past few days had been the most fulfilling ones. Being kind of estranged from acting due to my hectic schoolwork and other goals in life, even though I still continuously acted in TV projects and rejected some reluctantly without much choices/compromises, getting back to the corporation film setting still gives me a sense of surprise and freshness. My interest continues to keep me going… after 2 years (on and off) being in here, it is probably now then I started to gain some realisations and reality check about what’s really going on here.

My interest continues to keep me going… after 2 years (on and off) being in here, it is probably now then I started to gain some realisations and reality check about what’s really going on here.
I had heard too much about agency spams and exaggerations, both by
word-of-mouth and personal experiences. Especially the second half of this
year, I had been approached by and met up 5 entertainment agencies with 2 of
them specialising in modelling and the rest artistes, with 2 being portfolio
fee scam which I never ever will fork out money to, as I always hold on to my
belief that an agency which truly recognised you for your potentials will never
need to resort to such. I never approve of having a representative agency as I
have always been coping well on my own. I don’t need a manager to run my life
too.
I also feel lucky that I had been
discovered and truly recognised of my potentials. I really do. But in
the process, I also do find out that there are something needed to be
sacrificed. Of course, Singapore entertainment industry is small and thus tend
to be very much decent compared to the outside world. Still, instead of going to
that extent, I had witnessed some less-decent ones who hope you could loosen up
a little, bare some and shoot. There are also some who exaggerate about how
they will groom you which are obviously empty promises which is hard to even
listen up and taken in seriously. In
fact, for the former 2 requirements, many local agencies see this as a norm.
Wearing bikinis, lingeries seem to be what the general modelling is about – a
norm, which I think the actual meaning of modelling is greatly distorted. And
definitely, the exploitation of a woman’s body and linking it to the
socially-abused word ‘sexiness’. It makes me think whether most girls or women
had ever thought about this issue, why do we have to bare in order to live up
with the name of being ‘sexy’? For me, sexy is not about the amount of skin
exposed. It is the attitude, the mind and the expressions you deliver in front
of the camera or to the audience.
In which, in my opinions, many females especially young ladies have fallen
prey into this so-called ‘normal’ trap. Can
we put a stop to this social abuse and indecent expectations? Ladies, a food
for thought.
