one thing i have been so fascinated by/obsessed with lately and want to randomly share with everyone i meet who has watched SRT's Betrayal ... (upon finding out ching (stagemanager for QP) stagemanaged Betrayal i just could not stop asking her questions!)

and it turns out that meiying, the director whom i thought omgshe'ssoyoungandshegetstoworkwiththeSRTandsuchbigactorswowiwanttobejustlikeherwhenigraduate!, was mercilessly bullied by the actors and they never took her notes seriously and just did the play any way they wanted. which i find very mean and very scary and how sad for her that her directing didn't come through the way she wanted it. i wonder what i would do if faced with such a situation, gee. i'd probably quit. i mean there's no point directing something if it doesn't turn out the way you wanted it and then still have to put your name there and say you've directed it and do a dialogue session after the show. is just awful. it just makes you think. this industry is very tough, it is. you've got to be tough! tough! tough! i will be a toughie! and apparently shabani azmi was the biggest diva around, demanding organic everything. and she doesn't take sugar because she doesn't want to get fat (not that she's diabetic even!) and she only takes a certain type of sweetener, only SPLENDA which singapore does NOT have, so they had to go to MALAYSIA to buy it. wow, that's kind of disgusting.

it's kind of sad because once i dislike actors it just ruins their acting for me, you know? i guess i make everything personal and it just all becomes marred after that. it's just how i am, or maybe i just need to grow up? i have a very hard time being objective sometimes i think. i know i'm incredibly idealistic. i often find myself wondering, 'why can't we all just get along?' i really do get upset when there isn't that harmony and peace. i mean, gee. let's just all get along, you know?! it's exasperating.
