Innocent Decision

Bloggin with a heavy heart is rather fun!
Let me begin with two drama production that i caught, last week and today.
First - BOMOH, by VVV Theatre Production (if i got the name wrong, pardon me).
Interesting name for a production eh.
It was a simple yet beautiful production. It highlighted the various reasons why people end up using black magic (thru a Bomoh).
- Anger
- Jealousy
- Selfishness
- Fame
- Fear
- Greed
These traits are quite normal in today's world. But the fact that these are the reasons behind why people approach a bomoh to get things done the dark way, shows how much power these negative traits have.
Each trait was played by a character and everyone did justice to that trait. Yes. Simple costumes and simple sets (more like just one set) just to prove a simple concept.
One thing i was discussing with my two sisters who accompanied to watch the production was the fact that they could have introduced another character - the bomoh himself.
As in, each character was made to confess that they visited a bomoh for their own personal reasons, which could have led to the death of one man. Also, they had to enact what happened to the man because of the work of the bomoh. This i felt, could have been done by a bomoh himself, instead of getting the characters to do it.
But the "godly" character, with his huge size and LOUD voice, was surely the highlight of the show. I daresay the floor was his. Yes!
Another thing i felt could have been done was to introduce how the bomoh does his work. however, upon further though, i realised that, that doing so could lead to undesirable circumstances. People may practice what was done during the production and.....
However, they did touch and go on how some people perform these black magic. Like for example, my senior Devi, did the role portraying selfishness. She wanted the man for herself thus she approached a bomoh. She was told by a/the bomoh to go to a grave of a baby, dig out the corpse, cut the head, dig the brain out, mix the oil/fluid from the head/brain with sand and throw it outside the man's house. And also to use the oil and apply it on her eyebrows - this will surely make all guys fall for her seduction.
All in all, the production was awesome and worth the cash. It was as freaky as it's name sounds, having a tinge of humour. And of course, it had various concepts to take home, based on the viewers perspective.

The other production: Cindrella by RDG.
Don't ask me why i went to watch a kids' production. I have my reasons. The two producers are good friends of mine. The assistant director is also a veri good friend of mine. People who helped out in the production included two of my seniors. The musicians were my friends. Any reason for me not to support? Haha.
But well, i didnt regret going for it! Like DUH. The kids were simple good at whatever they did. Cute, adorable and purr-fect!
After the show i gotta know that the queen, was my sister's senior's sister. Haha. And she did an amazing job! She is really small sized but her confidence level is sure sky high! She did her role so well, anyone who doesnt admire her must be an idiot!
.........lost the fire to continue......... shall contine tmrw......... :)

Been a while since i blogged. Felt the necessity to blog today though. Cos of what happened at work. Needless for readers to know what it is, especially since the "news" is not out yet.
But this post has got nothing to do with what happened at work... Just got me thinking...
"Change is the only constant."
Yeah. I don't deny. But it is not necessary to accept all changes right? We can make our own decision to 'fight' against those changes right?
I mean, look at this example. If you have been doing something for like months and someone just decides to change the way you work, can you say NO? Can!
.... I'm getting no where!....
I have to admit. I'm not in ORD mood yet, but have indeed started reflecting my life in NS thus far. More like the life i have been living in SMTI (SAF Medical Training Institute). I have been there almost close to a year and the experience i have been exposed to is surely more that i had expected. Its not my rank or the work i do... But with regards to people... I know that if I'm gonna start, i will end up having a book about all the people i work with.
No doubt, there are some that i hope to bump into everyday - they don't fail to make my day!
There are some who hate me, and they try their best to express it. Took me sometime to notice that (that's how bad they are at doing it).
Well, have to say, some love me too! Like duh!!! Who doesn't?!?!
I really enjoy being in the department that i m in now. PTS - Paramedic Training Section. The name is as cool as being in it. Trust me! Now maybe the key chain that i have hung on my bag makes sense "I 'heart' PTS"...
"Be the change you want to be".
Procrastination. That is a habit that is very hard to give up! Its like smoking. Becomes an addition. Cos every time u procrastinate, somehow, when the due date is up, u manage to complete the task. Who cares whether it is up to standard or is what u expected to deliver - as long as the work is done before the time ends! So whenever you are given the task, you will tell yourself, lets do it way before the due date. Then when u don't start, you almost never bother starting until someone say "Ur work is due tomorrow". Then u sit the whole night and rush thru your work.
Interestingly, some people find it a pleasure and find some sort of pride in telling people "Hey i stayed up all night doing my work. Thank GOD i bothered doing it yesterday. Believe it or not, i started only yesterday."
Hello. That simply shows what a lazy ass you are, in any case u haven't noticed! Haha...
Why this talk about procrastination. Cos i think I'm falling into that same trap! DAMN!
