Wierd things

Lets face it, the logic behind various religion's beliefs on how life came to be, could very well be refuted.


Who is God? O' so almighty and noble that he decided to create life? or rather in my context, "Consciousness". Why then the generosity to us homo sapiens?
The wise men certainly hit the brick wall hard when they came to this.
They must have went, “hey lets put it on God’s tab and relieve ourselves of this stupid question”.

Then there is evolution, from monkeys to cavemen to us. This I find is much more believable, for there is logic and pattern…


As a kid I always believed we were, well, Aliens. At least to this planet we are. So many races, so many different species, all derived from different planets - the animals, the plants. It all seemed as if there was a galactic meeting of sorts and somehow we, ended up trapped on this plane.

We all observed the basic rules – 2 genders (ok applicable to most things), survive, multiply, expire.
I find the last one rather… sad.

Heh, random rants from a very bored and heretic individual.

Its a wrap?

Finally after 1 month 1 week of hardcore sai kang, my PA job has ended.
Leap of Love's shoot is done.

Couple of things that has "leveled-up" for me:
1) My tolerance
2) Body strength
3) Endurance
4) Better view of the industry
5) Knowledge base of food in Singapore

Buying 50+ packets of food at least 2 times a day by myself had its ups and downs...
but that aside I've met alot of people... people that is really cannot make it and some pros that i really respect.

Continuing from my last post, i think several more paths has opened itself to me. I was offered a Casting manager job earlier today, and i think without a doubt i will turn it down.

Heres why.
No. 1) Its a freaking office bound job
No. 2) Its a freaking office bound job
No. 3) Its a &%#@king office bound job

No. 4) I had to WAIT FUCKING 7 hours for a 15 minutes chat with the person in charge, totally fine with me if it were a normal situation,
BUT I FUCKING STARTED WORK YESTERDAY @ 3PM YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING GO TO THE OFFICE AND WAIT FROM 12:30pm to 7 PM?!when i could have been helping out art in packing up or better still, at home sleeping?!
FUCK THAT, really, FUCK THAT.

No. 5) I feel insulted by the comments "Do you know you can get a similar torch for $20" by the person who introed me this job, when i showed him the Surefire 6P which i just purchased. He furthered this insult by bringing me to the shop and showing me led bulb torches.
Dude, its a SureFire. Fullstop.

No. 6) I feel insulted by the comments "Will you work for free? ok maybe not but at least you will get intern pay basic". I do not do charity; neither do i want to add another internship slot into my resume. I have more then enough experience and exposure. Serving as an intern time and time again after COMPLETING my DIPLOMA is a direct insult to my school and my level of commitment and professionalism.

No. 7) I've have been offered apprenticeship from Joe to become a gaffer.

Which then brings us to another point. After today i realised something, I want to work in a production, badly. I want to be working on the set. I want to be someone important.

So heres what i'll do, I will approach Joe and ask for his mentorship in Lighting or approach Alan for training in Sound. Either way, I'll spend my last 2 civilian months training.
