人类的生活

Time is 21-Dec-08. Nutcracker with SDT has juz ended. The collaboration with Jeffrey Tan has ended. Its my honour to be in this proj of his, which coincides to be his last dance choreography with SDT when he leaves in Jan-09. At a age of 40, he is leaving SDT aft 19 yrs with it and then he intends to teach in schs or freelance ard. Well, in the normal society's eyes, tt is like retreospecting right? For me, i beg to differ and i really admire and respect him for this decision.

This incident led me to think; its like quiting a well-paid job to take up something more insecure. In many's eyes, this is a silly/ immature/ irrational decision but then, is it the only way to look at tt? Though it seems like referring to Jeffrey but then, me myself oso face this thing ah. Its only a matter of whether i can bring myself to do it or not only.... =(

Haha, on a side note; interesting thing worth mentioning is how come artists called Jeffrey are all Talented ppl? =) In fact, the person who introduced me into the world of theatre is oso called Jeffrey Tan. In fact, cos he knows tt SDT has a Jeffrey Tan, So he prefers to be known as Jeff Chen 陈日辉, the ex-director of The Necessary Stage TNS. In fact, JC is oso well-versed in Dance. He graduated from Laban Movement Centre. Well, I hereby salute to the 2 Jeffreys in the arts industry, the 2 super talented ppl. =)

Well, 人类的生活 is just so contradicting and full of dilemma. But then, yet for some, 人类的生活 can be just so simple. Still dun understand why we gotta complicate it so much? I think i shall go back to be a caveman soon... Life shld/ can be v simple, ain't it? Work so hard is for?
I cannot ans tt qtn, i dunno how to ans tt qtn yet...

Perhaps many in this world realize their dreams at an expense of other ppl, tt's y... Eg. A person can persue his dreams in whatever way becos his family is rich, so in a way, he is realizing his dreams at the expense of providing for his family. Cos his family doesnt need his income, so he can juz either support himself or even take $$ from the family to finance himself till the day he realize his dreams. Another scenario, if family not rich, worse, He is realizing his dream at the expense of his family and they haf to live a v frugal life so as to make ends meet. Children cannot enjoy some material goods, wife gotta work hard so as to contribute to family income.

So perhaps in a way, Dreams are v often realized at an expense of the others... Sigh....


Unknown, Despair, Lost
