Research phase

I cannot fall behind in technology.
I am currently doing my research on the theatre company that I am attached to and it is amazing how I found people who once taught me or we've worked together before. The world is getting smaller. But it gets me all excited to be given an opportunity to work with people that I worked with when I was still wearing a uniform and pretty much a self-absorbed teen. Some of these people have not changed. But it's really amazing to see them still very much involved in the arts scene. Even the TTRP students are still practicing and honing their craft after they graduated. :)
Facebook is now one of my platform to do research as I am looking for the previous collaborators. :) :)
Can I shameless promote one of them? David Lee.

On my way back home that night, as i scribbled some notes and ideas in my notebook that KC gave us a few years back, I realized how much this book contains. My research for O level art, my planning for A level art, my rants about the dark room, and even a page that contains smudged ink probably from the tears during the intense A level art days. Some of my artist reference and admiration were penned down in that same little book. Today, as I move on to catch a glimpse of the corporate art world, these artists reference return. :)
And I could not help thanking God and my parents for putting me in KC and SR. At these institutions, I met the most passionate teachers who opened many doors for us. They didn't need to have the silly government drawing a hard, thick line about what is means to have lessons out of class, learning their experience, they did it because they were passionate in the various CCA and subjects that they taught. Because of that, we were allowed to go to the museums umpteen times, be exposed to plays, a wide variety of different workshops in drama to titillate our senses and interest. <3 Guess that's the joy of being a teacher, when you see students growing and excelling not just in the academic sense, but in character. :) In my eyes, those teachers and drama practitioners I've met are very noble. :)
Tedious module out to kill but an amazing experience (still)! :)
