The play, POOP, staged by the Finger Players, is easily one of the best plays I've watched. This is by no means a sweeping statement, since almost every aspect of the play, in my opinion at least, was good. POOP tells a story of how a family copes at first with the death of the sole breadwinner, the father(played by Julius Foo) and then the death of the child(played by Jean Ng).
The script itself was average and it was the weakest point of the play. Although the genre of the play was “dark comedy”, I felt that the inclusion of some jokes were unnecessary, and it was although the only point of the jokes was to break the enormous tension that the actors had and the audience was feeling. One example would be when the child was hallucinating about the ghosts outside the MRT, and one of the ghost said," Jesus said I could be Mother Mary's tampons!". The audience stilled laughed since it was a welcome break of tension, but it was quite a forced insertion of the joke.
The script's theme was that of how death could bring a family together. I felt that the theme had been already well explored in many other pieces of art, and that both the context and theme were both slightly unoriginal. However, every other aspect of the play brought the play to a whole new professional level. Which brings me to comment on my next point, the staging and directing.
Although Director Playwright Chong Tze Chien had slight weaknesses in his script, his directing was simply sublime. His staging was amazing; he managed to use the depth of the stage to bring out his usage of puppetry, to show the conflict between the Mother and Grandmother(especially in the underground tunnel scene, were the child is forced to follow one or the other). He managed to using the wonderful space to show the anger in the child when she was forced to draw a family photo. He managed to use perceptions of size to make the child's character more believable. He managed to use puppetry to show the beautiful relationship between daughter and father. His use of props was masterful. I could go on, but my fingers are tired. However, it wasn't a one-man show; his lights manager, puppeteer, sound manager, stage manager, production manager and publicity crew were important too, so kudos to them too.
However, I felt that what really made the audience cry was not the script, but it was the actors. All of the actors didn't just portray the role, they WERE the role. All of the actors were so in their role and as an audience so physically close to them, I could not help but feel the grief and emotion of all the actors. Janice Koh was sublime in her portrayal of a deeply hurt wife. She tries so deeply to be the sole pillar of sanity in the family, but the grandmother's constant blabbering to her granddaughter about how the father is just disappeared, like poop, really brings her to her knees as the mother(Janice) didn't want to remember anything of that dreaded husband of hers anymore, who was so selfish as to let go of his life for happiness and leave his family behind. Same for Neo Swee Lin, whose portrayal as a grandmother humiliation by her son's suicide, but yet tries to keep the whole family together. Julius Foo, as a man unhappy who just leaves his family, his connection with his daughter is really touching. Jean Ng, as a confused girl, was so naive and innocent I couldn't help to feel sorry for her. Each actor's dedication, training and passion shone through in their acting. Their stage presence and energy was so strong I didn't feel the need to check the time, wipe away my tears or even move. I just watched this wonderful piece of theatre come to life. At the end, when the Grandmother and Mother both embrace each other and finally accept death and move on, something deep inside me felt warm and growled in agreement. And no, I wasn't hungry.
OMG i am blogging so much. Is that a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it doesnt matter I just need to remember my thoughts..
Okay so today I went out with the ORGCOMM AGAIN. Woohoo it really is just such a nostalgic experience to be you guys today. Todays, though the topics of conversation turned to the future, maybe it's indicative of whats on our minds. Anyway at least we has the traditions and much appreciated game of Taboo/Pictionary and A good TziChar meal :D
I'd rather not disclose conversation topics. Lets just say I have enough gossip to fuel an A380. Also, I'm extremely mean (Joshua: Shawn you damn dog sia)
Afterwards, saw shien(RP SENIOR) on the way back home. Had this long as talk abt TSD/JC subject choice and I think he really helped me make my decision. Here it is :
BCM/T
Then either Council/interact/ Community Activists as a CCA, and maybe someone other sport/club.
Why? (Better write this down for the future).
I really love drama, but have its as both a cca and a subject just doesn't cut it. So obviously having it as a subject is better because it seems(from Shien) I have a very strong grounding and I can do well in it. And also because having it as a subject means i can pursue CIP in my CCA. I cant cip as a subj and rp as a cca right?
However, theres still the worry of not getting the right people in TSD/no A.
Thats why i'm still gonna try it out. If all else fails I'll drop TSD, take Econs and then join RP. Yups thats the plan.
Okay thats for long term. Short term would be the funk i'm in for tuesday.
What the hell. Its supposed to be rest time for after EOYS and suddnely I have stacks of work to do. But tis' okay let's talk about the funner stuff in Life before I proceed to checklist my next week. :D
Wokay so the rest of wednesday after working out I started studying for the new research attachment. God this stuff is hell ><. Materials Sciences+Physics+Chemistry+NO BIO? = HELL. I ASKED FOR A BIO PROJECT DUMBSHITS.
Anyway, thursday+friday was ultra fun. Went to KLP(again?) to bowl and I played 2 games. Haha well I guess I'm still pretty bad at it. But hey it was fun. Then we went to the arcade and I played Time Crisis. Actually I continued on from Shaw Shiuan and Bryan. But hey i still played really well until this guy with a anti-tank rifle for an arm with 8 full lives and supported by 500 axe-throwing terrorists in kelvar armor(discrepancy much?) sorta killed me. BUT I BROUGHT HIM TO 3 LIVES.
Anyway I went to seoul garden next. YEESH BRYAN YOUR PLAN IS SUCH A COPY OF ME/YC/MINGE/SANAT's outing plans. Nevermind, taking an idea from awesome is still awesome :D( uh I make myself sick). I think I ate a few cows/chickens/schools of fish. Also found out a lot of weird info bout this new group of friends. hehe. Its just.... well it's just another dysfunctional group of friends really, theres Amos always insulting ZiXiang, theres Shaw Shiuan being Bryan's slave. Haiz. Anyway had a fun time playing a crazy eating game, which IS ONCE AGAIN A DIRECT COPY OF MY USUALY PLAN. and whats worse was everyone was so pussy about it and the soup didnt even taste that bad.
The last part of the day which start at about 10pm was an excursion to Bryan's house. God I just realised how scandalous how all this sounds. It's about to get worse haha.
Okay so it was his Bday so we went to his house to play rock band, and beatles rock band. HAHA I AM PAUL MACARTNEY. :D that being said I am i pretty good singer/drummer. Then afterwards I think we sorta over did it since it was Bryan's bday, we played cards and took shots.
Vodka Shots. :D
I had alot. But the thing is I dont even turn red/feel dunk or even tipsy. not even tired. How am i supposed to be a party animal when im immune to alcohol. I even mixed the drinks D:.
Oh well I still have alot of work left.
Checklist!
Think of something for Tuesday. Need to go to research opening ceremony, CCA photshoot and still be in school for resulsts release. STUDY MATERIAL CHEM BOOK.
Saturday Mg for awhile first, then Orgcomm outing. Wonder how it will go. I wonder if you orgcomm ppl have changed. (I know 6/12 doesnt haha)
Sunday MUST DO THE 2 PAPER 2s omg i hope i have time.
This is going to be a very long post. It will tell you almost everything that has impacted me greatly this year. But it don't matter because its a note to self for Shawn. When he looks back he hopes he wants to remember whats was great for him.
Okay, now thats over I have so much to talk about. Now I have the time its best I write about the fun, sad and memorable. I just this is a place for me to bleed it out. I need to.
I looked back at all my archives and I realised how vulgar I was and how I havent changed a lot. Like the songs I loved i still play in my phone. The words I used, the tones of my typed speech. Whatever. But i guess this year really taught me a lesson on priorities, which is like the word of my life now. It really taught me so much about friends and their value. but lets start with a 2009 to early 2010 recap since I was in boarding then and I didnt manage to blog. And end of with this new post now. A year after my last one. :D If i get incoherent. so be it huh!
2009. I'm so surprised I didn't talk about the concert with BEP and Beyonce. I know its really shallow/pointless, but I had the time of my life then. Not only because of the performer, but because of the people I was with. haiz. RLP. It was the greatest time of my life. But also because of the friends. But then the experience in itself was also a gift and I am glad for that :D Regrets. :/ MAN THE REGRET (really thats all there is worth about 2009 that i havent blogged about)
2010 (oh no marathon typing. LETS GO)
RP
What a year. I can only say that being with my CCA, I have learnt so much about myself, whether I wanted to know it or not. And I can only say a big thank you guys. and a even bigger sorry. Here goes:
We had the time of our lives making Through a Fishbowl. The audience had an awesome time watching it. And we lived through the days we thought we'd never see thru. I mean nothing out 2 weeks before? 9 of us ONLY and we had to do all that whe everything went wrong? yongqin, the piano, the stage. omg it was just. a miracle. and I'm just so glad it worked out.
but i am SO SORRY. I just cannot imagine what I did during the dramafeste period was what i did in my right mind. I so sorry to have almost betrayed you guys for a whole month. I meet seem like I'm fronting strong and having other friends. But i've frineds that were more similar to me than you guys. I mean. We did everything together. And i'm so sorry i let the whole df thing destroy us. But, just forgive me will you guys. I know yall might never see this but aliff amirul and tzy could yall please forgive me. Just for old time sake? I remember the days in es. The ora time. The production times. I mean I've just been talking to ms sara and then i would bawl my eyes out. for an hour and sometimes at home I would have just think of the friendships i've lost and sobbed even more. Maybe you dont see it but whats the point? It hurts when you reply so coldy and I see you everywhere but i cant say hi. Please? Maybe its too much to ask but arent friends supposed to forgive and forget. I can hope, right? But its been 4 months and nothing can or has been healed. I just. can't take it. But i will hope and hope. I'm just so sorry for not treasuring the friendship we had. That untainted one which ive just smeared all over. Okay. Now thats over. lets talk about happier things? Right? D: At least it worth remembering some of these. Not in detail though since they dont have as much impact.

Amsterdam The wrong house I appear in tonight in the lonely dusk of Amsterdam Walking to the Bar, fight or flight? The bathtub, Weed, am i quite right?
Then we had to apply for a job "poetically". heres my attempt
A job
A quick intro to myself But I must first say Cats in the workplace are a no-no Dedication and determination from me is Expected, as the same is my pay For I am a General Manager and Half a million per annum is In my expectation, hopefully yours too. Jake, my son takes up weekends and Kelly, my girl has Late night class on Monday so a 5 day work week with Monday Nights off would be great. Of course, I was once in jail, I took my mother's Pension money, I was Quite funny how she Ranted at me and Sued me... Sorry, off Tangent. Hopefully, I'll get the job. Unqualified, I'm sure I am not but Veering towards what you might expect. Whatever happens, I'm going for my X-ray next. You should call me, and by the way, your Zipper is unzipped.
Who can I tell this to? Will this crumble, crash and end up broken? Theres only so few, and this burden makes it worse. All the weight is falling, the foundation weakened. After all my strength, hope and love is gone and only fear remains, Do I look to you?

Noone right? But most do so because its a social norm.
Some parts of the post are going to sound dreary and HK-drama serial like, but heck.
Today was a great day. Started off school fine, and the day was slack. There was the all important "Friendship Day", had physics, which is an eternal bore(what in the World is Cathode Ray CRO and Kinematics?), and we had PE, where i skipped my 2.4 pretest because i was "Sick". After recess, continued a class viewing of Erin Brokovich, which is a true masterpiece of modern flim(ok not really but its good).
After that, slacked around school and tried to build up stamina by running but never got to it. Had RP auditions, where numerous sec 1s and 2s came to try out. I'm not supposed to say anything(would be so rude). However the sec3s were tasked with the job of acting along with the auditionees , which i told we did quite badly at but nvm. Some good talented guys. Thats all i think. And a better turnout than I expected.
After that just screwed around with the always fantastic RP guys. Thing done included: a VERY violent pillow fight Trying to balance 7 people on 2 wobbly cresent shaped sponges Singing and Dancing and Acting Accents Answering Zac's queries since he was playing are u smarter than a 5th grader
After that had dinner with the family at the crazy ass tampines area. You know the one with 3 malls around one shopping mall? And it was peak period. So we had dinner, and we were walking back home (its only 1km) and then halfway thru the bus stop we see this old lady, the sort that collects cans, smells like poop and most probably has an unfillial son who cant give a shit. She most probably had sort of some rheumatic problem cuz she was limping quite badly.
She fell from her walking stick. The cans she collected split on the floor and NOONE BLOODY HELPED HER UP. For 5 minutes my dad was in a moral dilemma. We were waiting for someone else to help her(as most singaporeans do). Noone did. Why, in a busy crowd, society doesnt seem to care if a frail old lady just collapse upon herself. WHY? I don't know if this problem is an sg one, but i think it is. We really need some slapping to wake us up from our moral slumber.
However, Thank GOD (and morals)(and courage from my dad) my dad went up to the poor woman, helped her with her cans and picked her up. But she was wobbly and unstable, and she needed a hand to hold. My god the crowd looked at my dad as if he was wrong to help the woman. I was about to break out into a rant at the crowd but i kinda banished the thought. My dad, brave and unfazed, picked the woman up(and she smlt really bad btw, like bad yogurt), walked,or sortof lifted) her to the nearest coffe shop about 100meters away. Not a word of complaint from my dad. He sat her and bought her some food(my god was she bony).
Throught all this, I wanted to cry. In anger, sadness, and pure respect.
A. WHY ARE THERE HOMELESS OLD WOMAN ON THE STREETS? WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN? WHY ISN"T THE GOVERNMETN DOING ANYTHING? FUCK!
b. Oh wow. This lady needs help. Wonder if Alicia Goh still has that friends of hers friend in social services.
c. Dad. You da man. I mean, would u have the guts to help this lady in a crowd of people trying to kill each other to get the the buses, blocking ALL of them in the process, because u knew it was the right thing to do? i wouldn't. i dont have the guts. My dad does. *Bows in respect*
Do I respect my father? yes. of course i do. the event speaks for itself.
I went to watch the play "The importance of Being Earnest" yesterday night.
It was absolutely awesome. It was an all-male cast, I was seriously afraid that it would become an all out drag affair. It almost did at the beginning, but that was because the audience was squeamish, and the audience soon got desensitized and managed to look at the play the way it was. Which by the way was so many things that made so much sense.
I will not type out a review, but real props to Mr Ivan Heng, whose portrayal was unbelievably convincing. His(or her) presence simply dominated the stage, and he brought the ensemble to a whole new level of energy. Not to mention he was hilarious too. Got his autograph haha.
Also Oscar Wilde is a true genius for writing this script, which themes still holds true until now. Unlike Shakespeare and his totally out of touch Winter's Tale. Had fun with you all Rp guys!
OK i will also use this post as a homework list.
1. English commentary and prepare of the in class assignment. 2. history preparation for in class deabte(essay) 3. Math Assignment. 4. Chem equations.
Hope to do at least one of these at the mugger group.
Ever heard of rhinology? Neither have I haha. But i was introduced to the term while a black tube scope was stuffed up my nose. Heres the story:
After school, i had to go down to KK hospital for a nose checkup. My nose had been sporadically bleeding so i decided i had to see a doctor. So i went to the doctor.
So i say hi to him. I tell him my problem and he says he needs to check the insides of my nasal cavity. How?
Simple, we stuff a black tube with a camera up you nose!
So he sprays some anasthestic into each nostril thrice. Correction, he shoots jets of this into my nose. Uncomfortable. After awhile couldnt feel, smell or taste anything with my palates senses. So i thought it should be fine.
Then his nurse takes out this monster of a tube. He says its really thin, but its the thickness of my little finger. Which is btw really fat. He stuffs it up both nostrils, TWICE. After that, i felt so relieved. Luckily it wasn't anything malicious, like a tumour in my nose os somthing, just sensitivity. Throughout this whole process, he was trying to talking to me, in a failed attempt of calming me down. He talked about rhinology, how he was an RI boy. I felt like telling him to shut up but then the tube would break in my nasal cavity the moment i opened my mouth. Bad thought.
Never doing that again.
IBE tmrw. haha. Hope its money well spent.
P.S. Cheer up clar. Its no use feeling sad for a git like Mook.
I don't Know. (heyhey line from the play. nvm. sorry)
I've been feeling all so empty after my SYF, since it took up my time and was basically the reason i looked forward to school. Halfway thru the first period in class, I would think of rehearsals. During recess, i would look forward to rehearsals. basically, school was a time filler. Other cca friend felt syf was a pain and torture, but this production with rp was REALLY fun. it became like Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or cannbis haha, some addictive drug. Now is the cold turkey period i guess.
Now that its over, theres NOTHING to look forward to. Life is back into a routine, and my post production blues are increasing exponentially.
Some people feel the worst effects of it immediately on the day after their play, but i dont.
Mine increases to a tipping point and i turn really sad. like i would b really sensitive and down. and unmotivated. Haha but i'll grow out of it! And be happy.
Right? Haiz. At least i found my true calling. Go RP!
Now that i got THAT out. Yey MGs. I've seen,heard and read so much about your adventures. Haha i bet fonny is the creator of like 90% of them all. What do yall study?
And its been so long since i've chatted with 6/12... Aha i still rmbr my weird jumpshot facial reactions with yall.
My holidays are so tiring. Let me share with you my daily schedule for the last week:
Monday: RP Syf from like 7 to 2, Then went to YDSP ceremony. Back home at 6. Homework after homework. Slack then Sleep.
Monday was great. At least I had free time to start on my physics and bio hw. The ydsp ceremony was memorable(and i'm kinda late about this post, but i was busy), the reception was fine and the guest of honours minster of def is TALL. And it felt great to wear a blazier and feel all prepped up. But my picture at the slideshow was so UGLY. They asked for a passport sized photo at the start of the process and i sent them my old one in P5! didnt know they were gonna show it to everyone...!The people there presenting were dedicated, though to say the least. Big shoutout HI to the girl sitting beside me! Thanks for the short chat, made me feel less bored and nervous ,since the guy to my right was so hostile. Heres how it went with me and him.
Me: Hi
Him: *silence*
Me: Ok nvm
Tueday: FREE DAY YEY!
Happy to do nothing on that day.
Wednesday: Full day of drama.
Started of with alot of groundwork for our props. We have to throw bricks at each other. Heavy, but i got used to it. ALOT of tightening of our play, at last, it looks like a piece of art now. Esp. liked our chereography for the battle scene, really fitting with the music. Ended at about 6 and justed chatted with RP ppl. Fun thing to do, really.
Thurday: Prep For SCSF
Yup. Prep. Took awhile but got the organisation down
Friday:SYF training in the morning
Yup. Again training. Spent afternoon slacking(again) with RP peeps. Went home to do homework.
Saturday(yesterday): SCSF then SYF training for dram AGain.
SCSF. Seemed really simple, the event, but then again it was great. Presentation to the judges, I felt, was mediocre and seemed really bad cuz we werent fluent or anything. there were 6 awards, 3 honarary and nickel(bronze), palladium(silver) and platinium(gold). When they annouced that the 3 honorary awards weren't for us, i almost knew we failed. Then the bronze wasn't ours either. But then we won silver! I mean it was the shock of my life lol. Cool medal, and got vouchers to spend on presents for the sec 3 RP and daniel (Earth Wind and Water and earth). Shoutout to you all too. Drama was fun, but nobody got the name of the competition right. They kept saying SFFC and SSECF and all the acronyms BUT SCSF. Basically they made fun of the name of the competition. AND they were also surprised that I won. Training was great, our last run was tight, and felt very complete. Anyways after that had a very long dinner chat with Zhiyuan, Greg and Chia. Good times lol. Stood there just listening to the basker at J8. Hes a real pro. Shoutout to the whole RP. and my science grp.

Ok I think most yall have heard of jennifer hudson's(jhud) sad case. Her brother, mother and nephew were murder in cold blood by someone. The police suspect her ex-brother in law. whatever the case, everyone's best wishes go to her(or at least act if you dont know who she is).
Next tragedy. MY BLOGSKIN still looks like this. I want a new blogskin. Or at least teach my how to do it! SOON PLZ! As they say teach the man how to fish.
Next tragedy. Tmrw we will lan with Ms Tan. Now she doesnt look like the CS type, so i assume dota. Now I hope she is not too pro or else her, andre and ryan in one team will not lose to anyone. And terry is coming. I hope he can pull down a few pros so its more equal.
Enough with tragedies. i auditioned for Raffles players and i think i made it.... Hope..
