Jiantong's Twisted Stories: Purple Flower

Once upon a time there was a purple flower.

It grew on a hill.

It loved a blue flower on the neighbouring hill. It loved the blue flower very much. It was a short time since they met, so how could the purple flower love the blue flower so much? The donkey raised this question

'Well I am not quite sure myself" the purple flower answered. " I guess I just love the blue flower very much."

But it was not possible between purple flower and blue flower. The blue flower loved the red flower. They were on the same hill. Purple flower stands on its own hill.

The blue flower never had eyes for the purple flower. They made small talk, friendly talk. But they still never had a chance in the world. The blue flower seems ignorant. The purple flower wanted to tell the blue flower how much it loved it.

But then it just didnt have the courage.

A year passed. The purple flower knows its time is up soon. It is older than both the red and blue flowers. It will probably die away first. The red and blue flowers grew closer. The purple flower drifted even further away.

A tear started to trickle down the purple flower's face as the cold autumn wind blew.

It looked up and said "Oh you infinite heavens, my love remains unrequited to the end. What could be more sad?" It then closed its eyes.

The next moment, it was chewed up by a grazy cow. A violent death descended upon it that left it no decent carcass.

Finally

Finally the suffering is all over.

I think it lasted about three months. From pre-production till now. The show is FINALLY over

And so is my suffering.

Finally.

No longer have to worry about angry superiors. Not anymore about undone paperwork or unmade props.

No more late nights.

Feel so liberated.

Like having more time to myself already.

But actually still got not enough time.

Lately two more new students last minute ask me for intensive lessons before their exams. Conincidentally, all their exams end on 4th Oct.

Plus i got one regular class going for extra three hours

So for this week only I got more than 15 lessons. OMG. Wonder how am I going to manage that.

On the bright side, for an extra 20 hours or so of work, I earn a cool extra 600 over dollars.

Woo hoo. (easy come easy go).

Strangely for some reason, everybody I teach thinks I can teach well(REALLY is they say one hor. Not I boast)..... But seriously I wonder what all the fuss is about. I am sure other tutors are doing the same stuff I am doing.

The again, WHO cares? Ultimately people are willing to pay loads and loads for my time so I am damn happy now. You should see/hear the way people negotiate. As if Singapore dollar is worthless.

Thank you my clients for your genorosity.

Wonder why I cant reproduce the same form for my theatre work... Well guess everyone can only do really well in one thing.

Back to the main topic, somehow for the this performance, I felt empty when it ended. And I was abit sad.... which was strange because for a long time I didnt care if performances ended....I thought I would be happy. But instead I felt a little reluctant to finish the performance

I guess one important person can influence a lot of things

Especially if your emotions clicked..........

Anyway I am just enjoying the feeling of the production finally being over.

To you: Will miss you.... Probably will not forget for a long time.

Regards and Best Wishes,

If you know what I mean.........

Dear Kunhua

Dear Kunhua,

I need to tell you something.

Important event that happened to me...... but you would want to hear it anyway.

We seldom see each other online.

So if you see this posting, try hard to locate me online.

This is quite an idiotic posting. The rest please dont treat it seriously.

Kunhua, hope we will meet online soon.

千言万语 (Million Things to Say)

hello everyone.

By my standards, this is a long time since I last updated.

First show of my performance went fine. Hope will do well in the rest too.

Since bump-in on Tuesday, a lot of things happened.

I got so many things to say. A million, maybe.

But no time.

For now, the million things are just stuck in my throat, and I dont noe what to say.

Or rather, I dont know where to start....

Two more days before its all fnally over.

I am just going to damn glad when this is all over.

Some people ask me why I join productions in the first place if I was so unhappy doing it?

I guess you are so full of energy at first but later at the end of the show you are just so exhausted that you just want it to be over quickly.

seven tuition.

Lessons at NUS.

Four productions this year.

I wonder how I manage all that.

Brush aside the million things I want to say.

I am going to take a long break after this.

Ridiculous Show

Yesterday was my free day at home for a very long long time.

So while doing up props for next week's show I watched the 9pm channel 8 show.

The lawyer one with Ivy Lee and Thomas Ong.

Actually I wanted to watch the show a long time ago because I thought it would be good. Cannot remember when was the last time Thomas Ong starred in a bad drama show.

But the script is really ridiculous. WAH LUH!

Cannot believe how much scriptwriters at Mediacorp have degraded to.....

Tell me, which lawyer who is relative strangers with those on his lunch table would start asking 'cold-joke riddles' once he sat down?

Tell me, which lawyer watch S-League soccer matches in pubs?
(Which pub show S-League matches? I thought only coffeeshops do that)

TELL ME which lawyer rap about his/her own profession?

And the love triangle scenarios are getting so cliche that I automatically shout out "AIYOH!" without much control

Really is AIYOH 莫名其妙 loh.

Where all the good scriptwriters go to?

Not going to watch Ch8 drama for a long long time.

Avoid ridiculous show

Troubled Waters

"来. 阎王爷, 来抓我下地狱去吧!" - 周处

Sigh! At this point of time, how I wish somebody would just pull me out of this world.

But I think its a little stupid or weak just to die like that.... Well I guess I am still the stupid-EST person in the world.

To think some crazy fellow called me 'Magic Man' on the streets today.

Never have I went on a outing with friends with so much troubles on my mind....

Felt like I was swimming in troubled waters.

But the feeling of having a friend help out when you dont expect it is nice. Though he wasnt of much help.

Today went out with 'Young Master Boonseng' and 'DaeGekleng' I think we had quite a fun time but it would have been much more fun if I didnt have so much on my mind.

Starting to appreciate those carefree days more.

Then at the end, DaeGekleng sang a very touching song and I felt more troubled. More sad.

2 more weeks before the troubled waters subside.

The Stupid-EST Person In The World

"哈哈哈! 傻瓜傻瓜! 天下的大傻瓜!" - 阎罗王

Let me tell you something.

You are now reading the blog of the stupid-EST person in the world.

No kidding. Jiantong is the biggest idiot in the world.

I don't know what I am doing at all.............

Suddenly I don't know why I am doing what I am doing also.

Suddenly got so many questions.... Who will help me answer them?

Jiantong is drowning in his own questions about everything.

Today, my friend gave me a photo and wrote some words on it. She wrote that she knew that I would be happy someday.

Sometimes I ask myself whether is it I have too high expectation of life. I wonder if I am not contented with my lot or asking for too much.

I mean, confirm got other people more sad and jialat one what. So why am I so unhappy?

After checking, actually I dont ask for much. I just want to be able to eat my favorite food and watch my favorite tv programs.

The most stupid thing is that I destroyed my own chance to be happy.

So disgusting.

Think myself very great, very capable. I left no road of retreat for myself. No space to maneouvre at all.

Think myself after a few lessons can take on the world. A load of rubbish. Now get beaten left right centre.

No. Not going to cry. Told myself cannot cry. Stupid enough already. Not going to be a bigger fool.

But right now, I am already the Biggest Fool in the world.

Trash

Good Play.

Meaningful.

Okay. Bye

别人都说我们会分开

不用别人说。

自古天下有哪桌筵席是不散的？

据‘大玉能’所说，最近是多事之秋。

的确是。

生活令人厌烦。烦为何当初选定这条路。烦为何做事总是那么鲁莽，那么任性。想逃。逃到逃花园去。

人生感慨：天下万事必有最后，天下万人定有分离。

虽说留下的人难过，但离开的人应该也不容易。

留下的人往往比离开的人多，他们可互相扶持。离开的人又能求谁？

这一个凉快的秋天，分开的人很多。

该保重的人一定要珍重。

一定不容易，但是我相信你们可以。

不要想太多就好。

这是我的肺腑之言.
