What is stressing me out most now is that in every situation I automatically aim towards making the most of it by preparing for it sometimes and thinking hard through it as I react to it and make quick good choices. This only happened to me recently. I'm sure it's because of improvisational workshops with my co-actors. It has helped me to think on my feet, articulate and also receive (listen) better.
I'm the kind of guy who has MANY ideas. Before, I wasn't able to manage them. But now that I have this new ability, it's actually proving to be quite taxing on the brain. Plus I'm type A personality and also obsessive compulsive. What I need to learn now is to decide when I should switch off. I've also come up with this new philosophy which I personally believe is the key to my happiness and fulfillment - which is to turn obstacles into opportunities. And this has worked fairly well.
Take a recent event at the Esplanade Concert Hall. From attending Lea Salonga's concert in New York and missing out on a chance to live my dream and sing A Whole New World with her, I made it happen for myself when she finally came to Singapore to perform. I urge everyone to do the same. I've been interviewed by a fellow blogger and will post the link in comments when the article/interview is out.

i really liked your performance at the lea salonga concert. :) though you seemed unusually nervous for a professional performer? or was that a result of running all the way down from the 3rd floor. :D i was impressed, both by the showmanship and the singing. :D too bad you missed out on singing at carnegie hall though...that would have been nice!
Sorry I took so long to reply. I should find a way to be alerted when there are comments.
I was nervous because unlike a professional performance, there were no rehearsals for me. Everything was left to chance and that can be nerve wrecking - not to mention the run all the way down. Heh.. Thank you for posting. =)
