Vincent Lee : My Reelity

Ironic.

Even as Shey enters the World of Azeroth, I’ve decided to leave the lands of Eberron.

I guess this makes it the nth MMORPG that I have left even before hitting maximum level. Its a real pity, cuz it really looked like it was gonna be the first as I have only about 1.5 more levels to go. But I guess life is like that, things don’t always turn out the way you plan, even though it seems to be smooth sailing at first.

I actually got the game as I know I was gonna have some time on my hands then, and I needed something to kill it with. And if everything went on according to plan, I wouldn’t have any more reason to need something to kill time with after that certain period was over. But what I intended for the good of other ultimately turned out to be unappreciated. Well, you know what they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The thing is I never thought that it would be me facing hell out of my good intentions. *sigh*

So I guess another irony is, I now have more time to kill with, but I’ll not be playing the game to kill it. There’s another game I am tempted to try again (no its not WoW), despite the fact that I’m really a poor playa at it. But I guess practice makes perfect.

Carnival – The Cardigans

Lyrics here.

Dunno why for the longest time, I’ve always thought it was sung “You will never know, cuz I will never show” instead…

I dreamed I attended a wedding dinner last night. Its funny how when I wake up, I forgot whose it was.

In the midst of it, I noticed an acquaintance having his wedding dinner in the restaurant down the road as well, and decided to go over and say “hi”. As I walked there, I tripped over something and by the time I recovered, it turns out his banquet had started and the doors were closed. I looked at my watch, its 10 minutes to eight, and I thought to myself, gee they start so early ah?

Undeterred, and since I was already there, I opened the doors and walked in, trying to act as if I’m invited amidst curious stares from the other wedding quests. I soon found the groom, who quite suddenly turned into a different person! The weird thing is that “I” still had known the groom before and the groom had in turn also recognise me.

He was however surprised to see me and asked how come I know he was having his wedding dinner here, as we have lost contact with each other for quite awhile. I told him that I happened to be attending another wedding dinner nearby and happened to see him here, so I thought I’ll pop over and say hi.

He didn’t really buy my story so we went out, and I pointed to him where I came from. You mean you could see me from there, he wondered in amazement. I told him I really was not shitting him and asked him to come with me to the restaurant where I’m attending the other dinner, so that he can see for himself.

However, as we approached the other restaurant, we noticed the doors were closed as well. But from where we were standing, I could still see clearly the people over at his restaurant.

“You see that old man over there? I can see his face clearly. Can you?”

He shook his head, and looked at me weirdly. However he wasn’t willing to pursue the matter, and instead passed me his name card and an old class photo of us together. I thanked him and wished him all the best before I started to head back towards my other wedding dinner.

Enroute, I somehow made a wrong turn (which is weird, seeing how the restaurant is less than 50 metres away) and had to track back. While tracking back, some dude whom my dream self apparently knew called out to me, but I told him I couldn’t chat as I’m late for a banquet.

I managed to make it back in time, it seems for although the doors were closed, they have not started the first dish. Time check, its just past 2030. The weird thing is, even though I could have sworn this was the same restaurant that i took off from, there’s something different about it as well as the people I’m supposed to be seating with. I looked at the class photo the guy gave me and found the people in it familiar, not that I know them in real life, but I know them from a previous dream…

And that’s when I realised that its a continuation of one of my dream sequences again. It seemed a lot had happened in between, which I have no recollection of. Man, I can’t believe I’m having amnesia with my dreams. -_-”

You know what, I think the trip I had somehow triggered this and before I made my way to the other restaurant, it seemed I was just having a normal dream…

Of late I’ve been plagued by dreams that I can’t seem to remember. And I want to remember these dreams, damn it, cuz they really have been robbing me of a good nite’s sleep. Anyway, last night was one of those nights again and I woke up bleary-eyed and a bit later than I would have liked.

But instead of preparing for my audition, I don’t know why I had this sudden urge to check through my yahoo groups, and lo and behold, I found quite a few important casting calls that I missed due to my inane spam email filter program bouncing these mails again. Heng ah!! Cuz for a number of them, today’s the last day of casting.

Because its Zeus’s birthday and because I’m still waiting for him to send Aphrodite to me, I have no choice but to obey his carrion call.

1) I’d rather be Vincent Lee than any other actor. (Actors)
2) I’d rather be hated and understood, rather than loved and misunderstood. (Philosophy)
3) I’d rather have super luck than any other super power. (Super Powers)
4) I will rather keep my bitter memories, have the sporadic dark clouds when these memories do surface, than bask in the eternal sunshine of lost memories. (Cheemology)
5) I’d rather be Dream than Death. (The Endless)

Not gonna tag anyone else, cuz the last time I tagged people all boh hew me. T_T

When I received the casting call earlier in the week, I thought it was for a production that I applied for. Turns out that the director had gotten my name and contact from somewhere or someone, which had me pondering who that kind soul might be.In any case, my audition tape got a bit screwy and so I had to go down another time. This time, the director was around and I got to know that she got my contact from Dave cuz she liked “4444“! Wahaha, looks like this is starting to pay dividends finally (yeah I reckon its about time too ).

I excitedly called Dave up to thank him about it and he casually informed me that he heard “4444″ has just started screening on TV Mobile. Since he sounded really casual about it, I didn’t really believe him until a friend smsed me and told me I looked good with oxygen tubes up my nose…

I guess its kinda sad that I only look good when I’m comatose. >.<

On another note, this kinda explains the weird looks I've been getting on public transport lately...time to, errm, wear my shades more often I guess. :p

Update : Saw it on my bus journey today… Luckily no one seems to have recognised me (cuz I forgot to wear my shades dammit) save for a few kids who turned back and looked at me quizzically. I errm, looked quizzically back at them.

What surprised me was that they actually had a commercial break when they screened the film! And it was a long break as well, and suffice to say it totally ruined the mood and impact of the film. To me anyways. *sigh* Ah well.
