Yet, i was out for a "part-time" job last nite.
Got a call from one of the casting crew, so i made my way down to mediacorp.
Radio gate is the place where all the fans will scream their throat out for their idols. And yesterday, i saw a grp of girls waiting patiently outside for their idol, with gifts on their hands. It kept me thinking, whats their goal in life?
Anyway, i went to collect my outfit for the drama. Nine West's heels is really comfy.. haha. Then my makeup, i thot they going to straighten my hair, disappointed, they used straightening iron to curl my hair. Amazing! Saw Cheryl Fox and Eunice Oslen, in the same makeup room as me. Real Pretty!!!
At 6.30pm, the bus drove me and other part-timer to Fort Canning for the shot. I was the secretary in the scence, no lines, just need to make expressions. React to the lines the others said. Now then i know, there are different types of "ranking". For me and my "partnet", they call us Part-timer. We are of higher rank, as in more well paid and more respect. For the rest, they called them the "ca-leh-fe". I heard they need to stay for the whole day and their paid is usually less than $20. Part-Timer are more fortunate, once they finish they scene they can leave. Those "ca-leh-fa" got quite alot of scolding from the AP last night. Lucky for me, no lines, thus not much chance to make any mistake.
The stars i met up with last night were Felicia Chin, Alvin Ng, Michelle aka Zheng Xue Er, Julian Hee, Rui En and Zeng Xiang. All of them are really good looking. Esp Alvin Ng *Blush* They are nice peeps, not much "airs". Friendly i should say.
After the experience, i start to appreciate theatre better. Acting on "television and Acting on "stage" are two different things. Theatre seems to have a deeper depth, where you really can slowly mould the character and build it up. For Tv drama, most of the time, they do the shot one scene by one scene. The emotions doesnt seems to be strong enough. And theatre cannot tolerant any NG, which is really an okay issue for TV drama.
One thing i hate abt the shot is, you need to WAIT. They do it scene by scene, thus if it is not your scene yet, you need to wait for the other group to complete theirs. The worst scenario is they keep NG-ING, you can wait till your hair turns white.
I was waiting for around a hour last nite, for the actors and actresses to finish a scene, and they took very long to do it right. At that point, i really feel like those little girls waiting outside the radio gate, wasting my time. Acting is a fun job, but come to think, is not meaningful. Is only the glamourous side that makes it so wonderful.
Teaching seems to be more meaningful.. Oh ya, i recieved my "A levels" chinese results, An A1 for me and a Distinction for my Oral! Yippeee!! Thx God for it! Miracle performed by Him, again. *Beams*
Back to my Exams, So far i completed 3 papers.
God really showed His grace on me.
I do know how lazy am i for this semester, but He seems to be always there to help me and give me a push. Valey's brain doesnt have much memory cells, i hate memorising things as well, but somehow i can remember things well for these few papers. And for second paper, those i studied they came out, those i didnt study, i wondering where are they? *laughs* God is Great!
Always hand your burden to Him, He will always be willing to help, cos He loves Me, You, You and You! Yes You!
It reminds me of a song i learnt it from YMCA childcare, it goes " Cast your burden onto Jesus, for you, He cares.. *all the little children emerge out from the scene and start to dance*
Okie this post is getting abit too long..
Shall end it here!
