ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY

as things roll on daily with a growing sense of inevitability, i've come to the eventual realization - that i'll never be able to do this again. write a script? perhaps. and a few songs? maybe. but it's unlikely that i'll have my brother around to do all the arranging for me, nor will it be easy to find anyone with similar musical talent yet willing to work under my onerous conditions (i.e. everything at the very last minute).

similarly, i doubt i have the chops to cut it at any level higher than uh, an elevated school skit, so this is probably the only time i will be given the reins to anyhow play as much as i want. not to say there's anything wrong with school skits - another part of this realization is that only in college will there be a sufficiently large pool of willing and able personnel to serve as cast, crew, musicians, saikang parties... in the real world, you have to pay for all this shit! and my library of stored up personal favors doesn't extend that far.

i mean, where else would i be able to dial up a few people, 4 days before the production, and tell them to go... steal rocks from a construction site? (in order to weigh down my set). oh, right... the singapore armed forces. maybe i'll do an SAF musical. or hasn't that been done already...
