A rush of adrenaline.

One often feels unconsciously stirred by events in one's life which may make a difference. There are so many times when we will reach a fork in our road, where a wrong choice can leave an ugly scar in the tarmac. The situation could be made worse if it is not just you alone making the choices and walking the journey. When your choices tend to affect other people, there will come a time when deciding between these options can turn people into a wreck. How long can these cracks hold up before they turn into huge gaps?

Truth to be told, this isn't my first time making decisions which can affect a whole lot of other people, but every time is a new experience. Just because there was once a success does not mean the flowers will keep on blossoming for you. In the recent GEMs video project, where I am the main scriptwriter for the video involving NDP, these feelings come in unstoppable surges. One man's meat is another man's poison, and I understand that no one script can be a 'one size fits all' in terms of likings. I know that any form of criticism would be constructive and a mere passing remark, but then again, you tend to feel uneasy. Simply because you feel the duty you have towards everyone.

Alright, I know I may be overexaggerating in the previous two paragraphs. I don't want people to start thinking I'm stressed to the point whereby I'm about to be diagnosed with a nervous disorder. However, I'm just trying to increase the impact of my message. True, a lot of effort will have to be put in to ensure the success of any large-scale project, but who says that fun cannot be derived from the whole process?

Up till now, the GEMs video project has given me several insights and experiences to many aspects of the English Language. I had much enjoyment in writing the script, and I'm also sure that tomorrow's rehearsal will be a delightful one as well. I just hope that I can get the logistics and everything else right to the highest possible extent.



I can see that all GEMs are working to their utmost diligence. Celebrate towards a more wondrous English learning experience, and here's a toast to all GEMs, cheers!

~Poetic-wise, in such a tranquil night, one shall lift his martini glass in a silent toast with the full moon in the sky. The chilling yet comforting midnight breeze being his only company, he downs the soothing liquid.~
