Dance or no dance
I’m baffled. Finally I see – after Bloom Festival last weekend, and a year after I started working for this dance company which is absolutely amazing – that I could never run away from dance, the art. All the efforts of trying to “branch out” and be more “versatile” (“look, I know more than dance!”), […]
Hard Work

Do you think you work hard? Think again… About that person whose career you wish to have. And work harder.
I am nameless and identity-less
- Post date September 12, 2011
For the first time, I feel that I am part of a big group. I didn’t mean in the sense of “sense of belonging”. I mean a group of people who are categorised by bureaucracy. In this group, I am nameless and identity-less, and most of all, plain dodgy. In this group, I am under-qualified, […]
Telling too much and being exclusive

“Why do we need a newsletter?!” The producer questioned, “Isn’t Facebook good enough?” “It is different though, and there are some people who don’t use Facebook.” My colleague commented. “I have asked on Facebook whether people would prefer Facebook or newsletter to get updates. Response was 50/50.” I added. “See, the typical thing of letting […]
Time: reserved for art or PR?

Four weeks to World Premiere. I start to get emails for email interview requests, and plans on getting local and national media to make pieces on the production. Three weeks to World Premiere. Email interview answers sent back to journalists. Some original pitches were rejected, more PR plans updated. AD is under pressure, I suppose, […]
Work emails: what you say
I was tired. I felt that I was overworked. I couldn’t be bothered. I was very grumpy and only wanted to eat chocolate and junk food to try to cheer myself up. I tried to work. Replied to an email and instantly regretted. The email sounded pathetically foul. Inked in my head was a piece […]
Opinionated but let someone be in charge
- Post date September 4, 2011
I am determined to be a strong candidate who is capable of the job role. It seems like I have succeeded because I got the job. In the past year on the job, I made my big mistakes. Now, I am determined to revert to the confident-self like when I first started. I am learning […]
The lesson: Painful yet more.
The mistake. “Please. Please check again that you might have it somewhere in your bag.” I begged. But no, the document was not there. My heart must have stopped for a second or two. My hands went ice cold. My head started spinning. I – F**ED – UP. (Excuse my French, but compared to what […]
Learn to Dance through Life
- Post date June 13, 2011
I used to dance a whole day. I used to dance everyday. And I used to say I owe dance everything. Ever since I started working – be it during placement year at a dance advocacy organisation, or now having a full-time job at a dance company – I stopped dancing. Then I had my […]
