We all have bad memories. We need re-caps.Because today is 1/1/08, and all radio stations and television shows are recounting events, top songs, loser songs, significant miracles, epiphanies yada yada, I shall do one on my own teeny weeny life too. Haha. To have insignificant, utterly useless insights is reason no.2 for having a blog. (Reason no. 1 is actually self- gratification. RIGHT? ) Alright, let's start. 2007 is the year where DEANNA... 1) Looks like a CAR. I admit, I like offering rides to friends who are inconvenienced by the government who decided to build a university in the middle of nowhere. But then there are those (actually 1) who sees me with a red body and 4 tyres for hands- well, at least that’s the impression that fellow schoolmate gave me. As I’ve said many many times, the car is my privilege, not my right. Even though I like the feeling of people “ooohing” and “ahhhing” at the sight of my 4 wheels, (see, self-gratification again!) nonetheless I’d like some concern for me first, then the car. 2) learns about living away from home. I recall the time I fell sick in the Land of Kimchi and People Who Have Lines For Eyes When They Smile, and it was the first time I was sick away from home. The boys told me they’ll be out for dinner, but will buy me dinner, and I waited two plus hours till they came home. All that time, I kept thinking “Where the hell are they?” and “I’m dying!” In the end, I discovered the boys enjoyed a slow korean styled BBQ dinner with loads of chit-chat and meat while I laid hungry and weak at home. But I didn’t say anything, because boys were just being boys. And the responsibility to take care of me was on myself, not them. But I also know Mummy won’t let me go hungry for so long. I guess, my family is still the unit that takes the best care of me. Friends, even though they are reliable, they don’t think as much, and take as good care as family does. Of course, ultimately, I’m the one who has to keep myself alive for my own sake. Or find someone who don’t take two hours to come back with dinner- at least. Hee. 3) really wants to do well in whatever she does. The first experience at making something out of a video recorder, no budget, a hint of an idea did not reap any recognition from the competition organizers, but filming illegally at the travellator at Doby Gaut MRT with plenty of CCTVs staring was nothing short of thrilling. The second experience was intense, heated, argumentative, and explosive. But at least it made me believe I have what it takes. The third experience- filming at Orchard with all eyes staring- was scary. Now in post-production, I hope it’ll do well. I want a forth, fifth, sixth… as many experiences as possible. Film making is actually making magic, and I like magic. 4) can sing in tune. Yay! No more, okay actually its LESS, jokes about my singing in 2007. I can declare myself no longer tone-deaf!! But I still sound somewhat constipated when I sing- hmm… 5) becomes a tabloid know-all. All thanks to my sister the tabloid whore, my house is well stocked with many trashy magazines with ambiguous headlines and SUPER UGLY pictures of stars. Gossip’s not a good thing, but hey, I know now STARS are made pretty, not born pretty. There is hope for me yet. Haha. Okay, now we can start 2008! Labels: 2007
