About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

okay.
This experience is both exhilarating, and nerve wrecking. Performing in front of three examiners, although being very familiar with most of them, you would think, is intimidating enough, given the context of the examination. Now, picture this. 3 minutes before your performance, you learn that other audiences are present. Other audiences whose examination results also somewhat rests on your shoulders. What do I do then, stumble, mumble, trip over my words, and forget my lines.
Go me!
Okay, okay. Imagine this. Leading the examiners to their seats, greeting them, legs shaking, mouths shivering. Everything is going according to plan, and the monologue is proceeding smoothly. Enter a bus. Not just any bus, but an old bus. Whose engine rattles and squawks and chimes. All three weeks of work compromised by just one overlooked glitch on our part.
Go me! (I still feel responsible because I should have known better than to just let it go unattended)
So, the first day of the TSD examinations didn't go exactly as well. I'm still rather amazed at myself, that my stage-managing antics caused a warning to be put up to all future stage managers. Well, all I was trying to do was to break the ice.. and, people actually laughed at the LIGHTNING RISK thing which I pulled out impromptu. I think. Hmph. Well, its personal style. Nothing much I could/would do about it.
Okay, I'm more and more anxious about the performances which are upcoming. I feel that the pressure keeps piling.
But I'm above it.
Just keep a cool head, calm mind, casual heart.
C'mon.
