Horrible day today. Most unpleasant. It started out relatively smoothly though. Despite a horrendous sore throat, mouth ulcer, headache, and fever-ish sympthoms, I went to school in the morning to collect props. Mdm Siva and Mrs Wan nicely lent us a smoke machine. Went back after that. My health condition is deteriorating tremendously. Its a bad time to get sick. Met Alastair, Bloke, and Ben Soh after that to discuss script. I pity Ben and admire his commitment. He had some GEP-Chalet thing yesterday and only slept one hour but decided to come today and help us out. Really nice of him. Proceeded to school and rendevous with Reuben and Jon Lui. Collected 6 NPCC uniforms from kind O level Sec 4s and Stretchers from SJAB. Really appreciate Lui and Roobs immensely. I really have to thank them profusely. Also thanks to Mr Chirnside kindly lending us the drama trolley to use as a makeshift 'Dolly'. (Without the tracks)

On a less-than pleasant note, I got into a small feud with Mdm Dharma today. Was my fault, really. I've been seething with frustration and anger over the past few days because the budget money has been taking a really long time. Been pressuring Mdm for days on end and waited for ceaseless 'tomorrows' so I kind of lost my temper. I really dont blame her cuz all the teachers are damn busy but my stress and anguish at this point of time is beyond breaking point. Everyday I'm told that budget will be given out 'by tomorrow'. Been hearing that for almost a week or more now. Nonetheless, I really should learn to control my temper because she is, after all, doing us a favor. We've collectively spent almost $1,300 thus far and am completely out of money.

No luck with the camera either. I guess we'll just have to use the bloody stupid old camera I have now. Called the camera company which charges $120 a day. Even despite our desperation and willingness to get ripped off by them, their camera isn't even available on Thursday - Even if we didnt mind paying. Sighs. I dont mean to bitch about how sucky this situation is or appear pessimistic but I really can't help but look forward to Wednesday and Thursday with a sense of foreboding, helplessness, and doom.

Things fall apart.
