The Forming up of Resolution 2011 (Part 2 of 31st December)
So in 2010, I decided to take charge of my life again. This is of course not the first time that my life took a turn. In 1999, I was watching Backstreet Boys’ concert with my GF. She went goo goo gaa gaa on that guy, whats-his-name-again? The blonde? Oh yes. Aaron Carter.
I looked at him.
Yeah. He is cute. But I am also cute. The only difference is that he is much slimmer, so when he wore those baggy jeans that expose his boxers, he actually look like a man oozing with sex appeal. When I did it, I looked like some round pimply teenager who just took a dump in his pants.
So I changed my lifestyle. No eating after 8pm and jog every weekdays from Jalan Bahar Camp to Jurong Point and back. Unfortunately, by the time I saw the result, the GF is no longer by my side. Broke up.
The other life changing turn in my life was when I broke up with my third ex-BF. He said nobody will ever find me sexually attractive anymore. So once again, I changed my life and get my fitness regime back in place, and got the body that I wanted.
So back to the story. 2010. No job. No idea how to sell myself cos I have never took charge of my life for a very long time. I was very complacent. No. Wait. If Oxford ever invented a word to describe the state of beyond complacency, they would have put my name in their dictionary. Word of the year for 2010. I guess.
But one thing for sure, I am always thankful to God for blessing me with the strength to always just carry on forward. I wrote in to my dear friend, and also my boss, Danny Jow, telling him that I have finally left Sentosa and is now freelancing as a performer/ drama trainer. He did rope me into a couple of jobs, and I managed to land myself into a few shows that year. It was my first time working with The Big Show Company. And I was definitely thankful to be given such an opportunity. Yes. This is the same company that brought to you the Cranberries Concert!
And in 2010, I have also decided to start a list of resolutions I have for the year. I didn’t quite managed to accomplish all of them, but at least, I did try to put in the effort.
In 2011, I had another list of resolutions. Among them are the followings:
1. To read more books.
2. To have a savings of erm…a certain amount!
3. To improve my craft
4. To be involved in 3 productions.
5. To venture into a field that I am foreign to.
And throughout 2011, this same list have given some purposes. An aim. Some goals. In short, I am more grounded and I now have a direction on where I want to steer my life to. And to be honest, for the longest time, I have procrastinated my desire to hold a driving licence.
By the end of 2011, I have done the following:
1. I have read a couple of books; including Rant and Tell All by Chuck Palahniuk, Juliet Naked by Nick Hornby, Good People (2007), Fundamentally Happy (2006), Off Centre (1994), all by Haresh Sharma, and a couple of other books that escaped my memory now…
2. I have also attempted to broaden my perspective in life and love and what not, by watching more movies.
3. I have reached my targeted goal of savings this year.
4. I was involved in 4 productions:
a.Swordfish +Concubine: Fall of Singapura, directed by Johnathan Lim and written by Tuan Chye
b.Cold Dish, directed by Joanne Tay
c. ICA musical- Directed and acted by yours truly.
d. Jen’s Homecoming- produced by Skinned Knee Production.
5. To venture into a field foreign to me—I tried picking up dance. It was half way attempt, but am planning to pick it up again in 2012
6. To improve my craft—I am venturing into directing and writing this year. I’ve written a mini musical for Marsiling Primary and adapted Raden Mas for Chung Cheng High and Swordfish Story for Rivervale Primary.
All in all, I guess I did pretty well in sticking to my resolution for the year.
And now, I shall move on to tell you about my plans in 2012…
