Went back to my alma mater to meet up with one of my lecturers, Belinda.
I honestly miss them so much.
We really hardly get to see each other now once students graduate.
So, I basically did a quick summary of what I'm doing now, and she supports it.
It makes me feel like I'm on the right track when people in the industry tell me things like that (lol).
First and foremost is always our craft.
So we should always be looking to hone it.
Teaching is just an outlet of sharing our craft, but it never is, and never will be the craft itself.
And that was the reason why she supports me doing private teaching.
Cos I have free time.
A lot of it.
And a lot of it this week went into recording. And filming.
And practicing.
Indeed.
Honing my performing craft comes first.
Then comes sharing it via teaching.
On a different note,
some idiot was being an asshole and trying to sow discord based on WW2.
Like WTF.
WW2 is long over.
Why be so stupid to ask "how (does) it feel like to live in a country that bombed yours?"
Honestly,
what is that for?
I'm pretty sure everyone's gotten over all that resentment of WW2.
Even my grandparents who lived through it.
It's like, "Oh, you shouldn't go to Japan, nor should you date one, cos they killed our men and raped the women during WW2."
Fuck you lah.
We're no longer living in 1942 yo.
Fyi, S is Japanese.
And nobody gives a shit about anymore about what happened in 1942.
The past is past.
No point looking back, when all we should do is look forward.
