Don't be suprised should you see me on the streets one day with a bald patch on my head.
No , i'm not suffering from hair loss.
This is a symptom of i-have-so-many-projects-to-do-that-i'm-tearing-at-my-hair illness .
My scriptwriting assignment is due in less than a fortnight's time and i have barely started on it.
Same goes for my advertising and PR projects *tears at her hair and yells and beats at her chest*

excerpt from my scriptwriting assignment. yet to be titled .
Act three
FADE IN
INT. HENRY'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Enters MR SIM He looks weary and dishevelled , and there are traces of dust over his construction uniform. He throws a dirty look and throws his keys at HENRY who is lying asleep on the couch with a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers.
HENRY ( sits up ramrod-straight )
Wha-aaat ? Who ?
( looks around , sees his father standing in the doorway and rolls his eyes before lying down again)
MR SIM
I swear to god i'll fucking kill you , you good for nothing son of a bitch .
( slams the door )
I thought you were supposed to start your first day of work today ?
HENRY
Chill , dad . You're going to have a cardiac arrest at the rate you're going
( taps cigarette box on his palm and withdraws a stick from it with his mouth )
You want one ?
( dangles the box )
MR SIM
Don't fucking speak to me like that . Why the fuck aren't you working ?
( walks towards HENRY )
HENRY
(trying to light up his cigarette )
Long story .
MR SIM
( smacks the lighter away from HENRY'S hand )
I'm listening
HENRY
( tries to grab the lighter )
I don't feel like elaborating
MR SIM
( flings lighter out of the window )
You better or you get out of my house
Father and son gets embroiled in a staring match .
Beat.
Beat.
Beat.
HENRY
( stands up and points a finger at his father's face as if to challenge him )
You.
( taps index finger on MR SIM'S cheek )
You'll live to regret this.

Despite the fact that profanities are not allowed to be used for my assignment , i still did. i'll be damned. I don't think i'll be able to create the same kind of tension without the vulgarities. I must look out for replacement words. I must.
