sure we may be young, energetic, full of life and having holidays
BUT
there's a limit to how much we can do
and we definitely have no control over time.

i wish adults would stop seeing us as extra help thats ever ready and always avaliable.
they need to realise that we cant possibly agree to help as and when they want us and need us to be there.

its not that im not happy to be taking on this project,
but the demands from the adults have been unsupportive and unreasonable.

they want a us to put up a musical within the short time that we have and yet make so many unconstructive comments and criticisms.
like how we're only starting intensive rehearsals the week after.
she was appalled and said we should have started earlier.
and then later she said she didnt realise that many would be involved in the week long camp.
the camp was already known since the mid of this year, how could she not realise?

furthermore, they want us, the INTERMEDIATE classes, meaning those at least sec 1 and above, to be the leading actors.
and today she comments that the younger kids, meaning those in primary school, would probably not understand.
seriously, i would like her to write a musical that would appeal across the board, from primary 1 all the way to secondary 4.
why ask us to write the script then?
does she want my actors to play primary school children?

the adults also want my actors, the secondary kids, to sing with the primary school (and below) kids.
i dont blame my actors for feeling sian and embarrassed.
and they will be in their costumes.
how weird will that be for them?
it also means they have to run around.
all because the kids need help.
what about my actors?
we already havent got enough time to practice but the adults still insist that they join the kids for practice.

now i know what A and J are going through.
only today was it my turn to realise and face all this nonsense from the adults.
i just wish they actually looked at themselves and evaluate their actions.

im just hoping the musical will turn out ok.
i know my actors are putting in a lot of hard work despite being busy with other things.
unlike the kids, we do have to do a lot more than them.

on a much happier note,
im leaving for hongkong tomorrow!

really looking forward to the cooler weather.
singapore has been nothing but scorching hot with periodic showers that are of no use.

i also realised that this will be the first time im going to the airport with jun yuan and actually taking the plane with him.
hurhur.

thanks to singtel's auto-roaming,
i'll still be contactable by hp.
but only the important things please.
or just sms me!
(:
