This is the end of October. all hurly-burly has ended. November is what I have coined as "The Abyss" cos examinations are here. David told me that if you are willing to change the mindset of what exams are all about, taking it as a test of your knowledge, it is less easier to feel stressed. Well, I am definitely not stressed up about it. I just know that November means to be a lot of staying at home, more solitude time with God, more memory power and less dating, less of socialising and hanging out. I am doing my 'silent exit' again till the tail of November comes. And till December arrives when I will be flying to Jakarta for at least neat 10 days.
Yesterday at Tupada Xingapore, I am very glad that Maki invited me into her performance. I have not performed for about three months already, it feels good to be the spectacle again. Well, I was quite surprised when she asked me if I am willing to have my face painted. At that point of time, I guess I had wanted to say 'no' because I did not bring my makeup set and it is such a hassle to be washing my face after the performance. But I know that as a performer myself, my passion and identity made me agree on the spot. I guess I was being sporting as well, cos perhaps people do expect me to be sporting? But when I put myself in the shoes of Maki, I suppose she has trusted that I will agree? (not sure, but heh, I am glad I have traded my vanity).
Thank God for the wonderful exchange with the Philippino artists, they have been really nice people and I certainly hope that they have enjoyed and bathed in the festive season in Singapore with us for the past few days. Thank God too for my friends, Julie,Chuyia, Qinyi, Jason, Khairuddin, Robert, who love me, and were so friendly to somebody last night when he came. I sang a love song to God last night before I slept. I thank God for my life =)
