This is how I feel my transcribing life is like right now. Instead of pots and pans and rubber gloves as distractions, there is absolutely no other mental disturbances in my head. Just words after words coming out of these women, and just mechanically typing all of it down into a word document.

Feels like running a darn mental marathon and I'm nearly there... I need a book, a novel. I need a physical activity (Cross out sex. Been acting out my work frustration through sex. It's not good, I think.)  I need to do something creative. Playing the piano, compose a little sexy tune. Whatever you know.

This office is like a metaphor of me being cooped in a confined space with little things to spare for me to play. I don't think this is very healthy for my mind. I am a raven that needs to be let out, not caged. I won't miss transcribing when I'm done. I miss going out on shoots and sweating gallons of impure liquid. I miss writing. A lot. Now there's no fancy phrase going through my head.

There's nothing of value to influence my creativity capacity. Well, I can argue that listening to these girls talk actually gave me things to think about. Like the way they behave and shit. What is right and what is wrong. What are their motivations and how far they're willing to go just to win some beauty contest. And the list goes on. Manipulative minxes... Pfft.

Anyway, thinking of going overseas to study. A plan is slowly forming. The plan for my future, once I'm done with NS. Singapore's not a good place to do film, I feel. I need to meet more different people from overseas. Here, people are working themselves to death and it's a harsh industry here. I mean that's what I kind of infer. No one's really working for the artform. They just want to meet the profit margin and get by life. Not risky enough, not enough budget, not much room for improvement in the creativity department.

But I've seen some creative stuff. Nice things that shoved one side to make space for mainstream things. Like music videos. Singapore independent bands' music videos are interesting to watch. I really do hope the local music industry does thrive well.
