I didn’t think I could get through December. I told the Goonfather that my temp job is worse than most people’s jobs because I can’t surf the net or MSN at work, so I have nothing to look forward to and everything to dread every single day.

It makes waking up at crazy hours in the morning all the more difficult.

But I did get through the month. Of course I did. Everyone gets through the most terrible times, even if they get all dramatic about it and swear that they can’t.

I shall continue to persevere for the sake of my costly singing lessons. By the end of February, I should have earned enough to pay for 26 hours of singing lessons. With nothing left for shopping or vacations or even paying bills. Yahoo.

Anyway, I said I would quit acting for the three months (partly also to take a break from an industry that disappoints me over and over again), but I can’t seem to resist going for selected auditions.

Amazingly, I managed to land myself a role in this short film. With a website looking like that, I just had to do the audition.

So January looks a bit more appealing to me now. I am really excited about the film and the role. Filming will take seven days. Rehearsals, costume fittings and photoshoots will take up more days. I also have to put in time to practise ballet dancing and being pregnant.

Although I can’t surf the net and MSN at my office job, it’s a great job because my employer allows me to take time off work for my acting commitments. So I guess it’s really a good thing that I have this opportunity to earn extra income during the days I’m not being an actress.

Well, life is good if we don’t ask for too much. But I still feel damn pathetic.

I hope you had a better 2006 than I did and I hope you have an even better 2007.

Have a great long weekend!

e: I did consider doing courses with Fly Entertainment, but they didn’t have any suitable courses on at the time I was free, so I joined Dream Forest instead. :P

2007 is shaping up quite well for you so far what with the new film and your singing lessons. Will you start singing at the music cafes? I think that will be a good ground to train yourself further outside of the studio. All hail the crooner! From the croaker =p

Lex: Thank you, dear! =)

Edric: Haha. You don’t have to act cute wat… naturally cute already! ;)

Starmist: Thanks, dearie! May 2007 be a year of fulfilled wishes and happiness for you!

Dennis: Um…. I don’t think I’ll be good enough to sing in public this year, hehe. I won’t be starting lessons till March or April. Have to save up enough for at least a few months’ worth of lessons before I start. =P

Ruok: Thanks!

Mother: You do?? I thought you liked… other things.

Hey, shall we do lunch? heee

I think with inner confidence and some training, you will be good to sing in the public albeit a music cafe. Everytime you feel like splurging nowadays, remember the lessons!! =p

I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a working trip to north east Thailand and will be back on 27 Jan. Dropping by to say bye to you. I am starting to miss Singapore already.
