Focus, Damnit, Focus!

I wasted my whole day today. And I'm not proud of it.

Let's see, most of the day was spent on the 10 million trips to the fridge and back, each time grabbing a couple of konyaku jellies and stuffing my face full with them. 10 minutes later, another trip to the fridge. I swear they put mind-altering drugs in them.

I can't seem to focus on the needful things. Like memorising my script. And yes, I'm filming tomorrow. Argh, this is bad.

I thought that perhaps some activity would help me dissipate all this pent-up nervous energy. So I decided to wash my car. At 7.30pm.

Apparently it isn't a very good idea because I can't see anything. I don't know what I'm cleaning. Which well, kinda makes sense because I seldom see people cleaning their cars at night. So, mission aborted, and I came back home.

Now I'm typing this and I'm gonna bathe after this and really settle down to do what I need to do.

Tell you a secret: I always can't sleep the day before I start filming. Pre-production jitters, perhaps? Tsk, so old already still got stage fright.

Oh well, just gotta focus and do my best. Over and out!

    August 13th, 2008 at 9:28 pm I think it's not nervous that makes you can't sleep. I think you just got to learn how to relax yourself and not giving yourself too much or any stress.

    August 13th, 2008 at 9:46 pm oh ya, which car did you get for yourself?

    August 13th, 2008 at 10:40 pm Lol, I don't think your have stage fright. I think the reason why you had pre-production jitters is because you can't focus on memorising your script.

    But don't worry, you'll get everything in place after that. (:

    1.Great minds think alike! So, we have something in common, just found out that you are also the proud owner of black Mazda 3 :)

    2.By the way, if u happen to be interested in getting a Cannon Digital Camcorder, I have very good LOBANG for you. Better than staff rate!!! Do email me for details..

    3.Sorry, searched far east plaza lvl 5 a few rounds and the info counter recently, but Hair Vision was nowhere in sight! Haiz...

    4.Anyway, it's common to lose sleep the night before a major event. It happens to me most of the time. You are not alone, haha......
