So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train
Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same
I've sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good
I want to do it again
- Bachelor Girl
just before her promos in J1, her mother passed away from a stroke and just before her A level examinations, her father suffered from kidney failure. as if that weren't enough, she also happened to be colourblind, which is, as she put it, "rare for a girl". this did not stop her from taking chemistry and biology which as all science students would know, requires you to state colour changes etc., and pass her driving test on her first attempt, considering she is red-green colourblind. she told us about how she managed to overcome her obstacles and though i'm not one known for appreciating dramatic and cheesy and cliched moments, i will admit that she really made me sit up and listen. it wasn't because i was feeling sympathy for her, like the guy sitting in front of me, nor was i thinking "that must suck!" like the girl behind me who exclaimed rudely: "HER LIFE IS SO SCREWED UP MAN."
when i heard that, the first thing that came to mind was, pardon my finch, "how the eff would you know what screwed up is? screwed up is your attitude towards her."
i just felt admiration for her. sincere admiration. it was that feeling that read: i want to be like her. not that i want to have family problems or mishaps, i just want to be as strong as she is. to be able to have gone through so much and yet be as capable as any other individual and perhaps even more talented than those who aren't colourblind, it just makes you want to say: BOOYA!
haha. something along those lines anyway.
well, she's going on to be the pioneer batch of nurses to get a bachelor in the sciences. her mother was a nurse.
that aside, i managed to make it through auditions unscathed, and i've gotten in for the main speaking cast and dances for Beauty and the Beast (end of year production), so..BOOYA. haha. ya'll HAVE TO COME AND SUPPORT AIGHT? ahaha. it's the queerest script i've read all year. but the dances are awesome. haha. but the fact i'll be missing 2 dance rehearsals worries me. i do want to get a nice part.
anyway, here are some of the wonderful people in it:
