as usual before i go on and do my work i shall blog about my day. was a pretty tiring day today. started bright and not so early at yih for my first meeting. social camp meeting. i like my social camp meetings because the agenda is normally set and taking minutes is much more easier. another plus point is that i found out that yasmine is my ms counter part and we can actually take turns doing our minutes. woohoo.. definitely looking forward to that one.

after that we took a semi-long bus ride down to cck cos my pentas budaya meeting was at lot one macs. abang mokhtar came down. i think it helped cos it sort of gives our commitee a brand new begining. i dunno about the rest but my heart soared. and after hearing about the postpontement in date again this time to 8 august, i am just more motivated to do a good job after hearing that the venue would now be at victoria theatre and that we are gonna get professional help. brings me back to the good ol' madama butterfly days, when we were apprehensive towards sir. "what's this bald man doing here telling us what to do". but after that we grew to love him and words do not describe the amount of theatre experience i gained from that drama alone. and it's not only in acting. it was a holistic experience and i dunno whether sir knows how big an impact he has on my life.

but aniwei my point here is that i do not think that by engaging in professional help, we are shortchanging ourselves. i have been in this situation before. sir did not tell us what to do altho he was our director. even the way i act, he would give me options and scenarios. he asked me questions to challenge myself. and the decisions are on my own. everything was on our own for the drama and we managed to pull it off with sir's guidance. if professional help would enhance the quality of the performance, i think we should go ahead with it. i know that these ppl have been in the business long enough to realise taht power is not what they are out for. i also feel taht there is a need to maintain a certain standard when executing all this events. very crucial details that comes only with experience need to be passed down to us by those who have been in this business for so long. we need to maintain the quality of the the arts scene in singapore and we should learn from the best. yes it would still in the end be a product of nus pbm. it is all our hard work and sweat. and if there is someone giving us a helping hand along the way, i say we accept it graciously.

on a down side. my secretary role has been extended to the role of a marketing officer. yes yes i would gain so much..but marketing is not exaclt my niche. actually i dunno what is. but my point is....I HATE CALLING RANDOM PPL UP!!!!!AAARRGGGHHH!! yes i shall do my best BUT i know it will be taxing..thank goodness i will get help from liza. or god even by mentioning the word "marketing' i can hyperventilate.

ok i think i should move on to talking abt my mext project right about now. muslimah night07. venue is not secured. im not involved in sourcing for venue, but i am very concerned. no venue= no event. and the girls are thinking of coming up wit ha dance and i am not too keen on the idea bcos i cannot commit rehearsal dance an bcos i think i will look funny dancing smtg bollywood.

ok so that is my holidays so far...been busy with project which is a god thing. i dun want to be too stressed or too relaxed. and im trying to strike a balance here. trying to spend more time with family. so friday evenings and sundays are off limits. so i am relaxed that there are no reading s to catch up with and no essays to finish. i must say doing all this is much more fun...
