More Than You Can Chew

My Room, Pasir Ris

I’m zipping two huge fucking files, it’s 1:43AM and meh, might as well write something here, right?

Xue Min (my bestie) and I have somehow succeeded in submitting some proposal to NAC and RP.

One unfortunate day, the RP people messaged us and whoop de fucking doo, we’re now Resident Artists for the “Community Arts@RP” residency.

It just occurred to me that anyone curious about that residency could just Google it and find my blog. Welp.

Concurrently, I also have a shiny role as a Multimedia Designer for Bound’s next project as well as their next next project.

I realised there’s no need to zip shit, I could just copy the whole folder into my HDD which would do just fine.

Anyway.

This whole residency business has made me realise a couple of things, which I will present to you in point form.

  • Your next crisis is always the worst one ever.
  • Ergo, every crisis is manageable.
  • Anyone can do art.
  • To handle bureaucracy and red tape, allow for 50% more time than required.
  • Everyone is trying to help you. Let them.
  • Every time you feel a spike of anxiety at a new complication, realise that you have been through this before. Tell the spike, thank you, I’ve got this, okay?
  • Your friends are more willing to travel to Woodlands at 9am on a Saturday with only 5 days’ notice than you think.

Okay. My new method of “just copy it” saved me half an hour of zipping and then copying, and I predict another half hour of copying back and unzipping. God, I’m a genius.

I don’t know who’s reading this, but if you want to do a workshop to learn about mindfulness and expression of gratitude, visit bit.ly/GratitudeLab1.

Will post more soon, okay bye love you
