Overwhelmed
Sat, 11 August 2007 11:59 pmJust a quick note to say that I’m totally swamped with filming commitments this week and next. I don’t even have enough time to study my scripts and learn my lines, much less do anything else.
I know I said work is fun and games for me. It is. But not if I have to wake up at 5 am, which I have to, tomorrow. Argh.
Well, apart from the crazy waking up times, it’s all fun and games.
Will update when I can breathe.
Enjoy what’s left of the weekend! =)
(Does that sound evil? Not meant to be. lol.)

jiejie QY.. you take care ok? Misha massages Jiejie hands and legs so that you won;t be that tired :) hugs hugs
Wah.. yr choice of photo for this topic is impeccable, I am feeling a tear drop forming on my eye liaoz (sniff sniff), but on a serious note remember the old saying, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going,go get em QY.
Well, if “fun and games” makes you feel like you look like you feel (if you follow me) in the photo then I really suggest that you find something that is miserable torture. Maybe it will make you happy… :o)
Just carry on miss Qiaoyun! Be happy and live free! :D
jiayou! cheers!
lOOk at the bight side… this means that people have got to know you through your work and you’re now in demand… In the good way ;-)
Nice pout. :-p LOL!
well not everybody gets to do something that they like as a job…
Daphne: Well, I guess it’s a good thing. Notice I’m not complaining. (Only complaining about crazy early hours. Hehe.) Thanks for the concern! *hugs*
misha: Thank you, dear! You’re the best!!! *smoochies*
Starstruck: Hah… really ah? My photo look so pitiful? :P Thanks for the sympathy? lol.
Jesta: Eh, no thanks. The look in the photo is in protest only against having to wake up at 5am. THAT is a veritable torture. Last night I only ended up sleeping 2 hours in total cos I got woken up at 2am by a family emergency and couldn’t sleep anymore after that. Was all zombified at work today. Haha.
modchip: Thanks! I’m doing that! :) I just wish I had more time to blog. ;)
nicole: xie xie! mwak!
arachno: Well, to be honest, it doesn’t always mean that. For me, most of the time when I’m swamped, it only means that I got really bad timing karma. Things ALWAYS pile up together all at once, and I even have to give up some jobs. But when it all blows over, I’m free for like the next six months and no one would give me a job anymore. *sob*
Derrick: lol. :P thanks.
yh: Well, that is true. I count myself quite lucky in that aspect, even if I have to wake up at 5am once in a while. :P
QY, sorry if i nosy but how did u pick up acting, by choice or accident ? Was thinking, your english is pretty fluent hoh, hw abt trying journalism as a career instead?
It was entirely by choice. I’ve liked acting since I was a kid. =) As for journalism, I’ve tried that already. Hated it! Haha. Although I like writing and I know I’m quite good at it, I just hate doing it as work cos I only want to write what I like to write. :P
Maybe it’s seasonal?? Like Durian season?? hahaha ;-)
You are actually part right. :P For example, the month during and before festivals like Christmas and CNY are peak seasons cos lots of holiday programs and TV commercials are being shot. But I don’t think right now there are any seasons. :P I’m just unlucky.
Don’t think of it in a negative way… always look on the brighter side…. its… well brighter ;-)
In the middle of every challenges/difficulty lies opportunity. :-)
Well, it’s negative beause I lost a good role due to schedule clashes. And opportunity may never knock again.
When one opportunity door closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Yeah I know that. But sometimes opportunity only comes once. How many people have lost opportunites of a lifetime because they didn’t grab when they had the chance? :P
Yes, as the saying goes, Sh*t happens… things don’t always go according to what you want or plan.
That’s life… so instead of brewing over it like I use to… now I tend to look at things differently… I now choose to see the brighter side of things. ;-D
Take setbacks as opportunity to learn and anything you can learn from isn’t that bad. :-)
Actually, I don’t get majorly depressed over setbacks. If I do, I wouldn’t have survived till today. You know how many zillion setbacks I have to get through in my years in this industry? :P
I get depressed over things I can’t change. Like, why was I born with such a burning desire to be an actress when I obviously don’t have the talent or the looks to make it big?
Don’t tell me I have the talent and the looks because if I really have them, I would have made it long ago.
If it’s cos of luck, then that sucks and I think I have the right to be depressed over it.
If it’s cos of hard work and determination, I think I can safely say I have worked harder than most people in the industry here to overcome my lack of talents or to improve whatever little talents I have.
I just feel kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place, sometimes. Like I want to run but I have no legs. I want to scream but I have no mouth.
But, whatever it is, I’m thankful for the support and care I get from people like you. ;) Thank you!
