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.
Incomplete. Unwritten. That's what my blog is right now. i can't really be bothered to start linking up people. Firstly considering many of the links I have are dead. And also I've had so much trouble just creating this simple template. The last time i tried removing a section funky colours came out and it looked so messed up. Also, my interests box is unwritten too. Maybe I haven't figured it out So i'll just stick to slow steady progress for this blog. there's so much to say and remind myself about so let's GO.
I forgot to mention Perth '10 in the last post. OMG. I must say Perth wasn't mentioned because those 2 weeks made me feel so at home it didn't feel out of the ordinary. I mean come on with Friends like YuHui and Sangju,roomies FTW! (sorry la nat didn't feel very bonded with you). I had the time of my life. This is a special shout out to YuHui, god knows how much you've helped me through shit and through the rain. thanks :D
Today:
Well nothing much really happened today. I went to school for some GEP survey which asked me about how RI has helped me. I ended up messing up the form(no more thanks to Bryan, dumbshit). I ended up having to nil my gender. MY GENDER? F*ck you.
Anyway after that i went to work out. I found out that i am surprising weak. HAHA yes but ppl like Changrui asked me how i kept buff being in RP. Okay wait for it.
RUDE. RP IS VEH BUFF ONE KAY.
Okay anyway in Bryan's words. Omg my chest is shot. I cant lift anything. I did like 9 sets for shoulders, 4 sets for chest and 3 sets for abs,back both upper and lower.Yeah but I must say. And this will sound gay. OMG HIS ABS ARE AMAZING. whew. Got that out of my system. Then i went home and bored myself out.
Anyway, i am going ice skating tomorrow. AGAIN? I know right. I plan to be awesomesauce tomorrow. But seriously i've been spending way too much money these few days.
Okay last one up: Plans for the holiday left is to
For self improvement:
Work out more(ON MY WAY KAY)
Learn how to play the guitar(hard ass)
Learn how to speak Malay)haha ive told myself this for ages)
For school:
Possibly be orgcomm for Student Leaders Comm
Study my notes for the YDSP research attachment
study "O"s OMGOMGOMG
I should be so much more concerned about the "o" levels but i just can't bring myself to do it.
hehe good times.
. note: Sanat wrote an awesome(albeit) rude rap to respond to his mean/bitchy gf. Maybe no one reading this likes rap, but it is really good and well written(in terms of rhythm and flow). I just wanted to say there seems to be this anger against rap generally. I dunno but i do think theres value in it, even when anger is conveyed. :D
And another thing. I thought about my decision not to take lit. Would it have been different? i dunno. I wish I did though.
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.

So thats the people. The events came along too. But i guess i can still list some: my results are stunning this year omg. eng portfolio? anyone? i am so much more confident. life has been a real ball I'm into sports i think. I'm also into rap. esp NICKI MINAJ NICKI MINAJ I saw adamlambert, chrisdaughtry and Mairahcarey live. MARIAH CAREY AHHHH. new jobs! MONEY rafflesian spotlight? a year where i did so many new things. its the same every year but more. grrrunspeakable love. i can sing so much better now! thanks glee. and obv all the divas b4 that for couching me with your songs BITCHFEST YEAR everything else. man this year was a blur. a good.bad blur? i dunno.
But for all the fun. Ive had a ton more regrets and mistakes than anything. I might not have wanted them but I needed them and I have grown. The price might have been pretty high. But i learnt. / and I try. i always try. and i can only hope always.
There's really nothing nicer than to have people who just give.
Really. I mean yesterday my friend's mum bought me a Krumpler bag(the normal one) and his sis bought me a shirt. I looked at the price tag(of the shirt) when i got home and i saw 69.90. yeaouch. Anyways, its all a long story why I got these presents so here goes.
Chronicles of the fair Lady Krumpler and Sir Puma: Hehe. so what happenened is my friends phails at ss. PHAILS. so he needed a ss file for the retest. this is a really awesome friend, btw. like we both have the same interests in movies and music. now that is RARE considering my weird myriad of tastes. we both like DREAMGIRLS. singing loudly, singing diva songs loudly, disturbing neighbours, and black people. haha. so i went ot his house just to hangout and we like karaoked alot of songs that erm. sorta disturbed the neighbourhood, and we both look like crazy people when we sing. yeah. HAHA
so anyway, his mum borrowed my ss file for him. and erm, also we're really close. i guess. oh yeah and i helped his sis in some drama thing(more in pt.2), and apparently it really helped her. and she takes me like a godchild. so while on the way back to their house.
She said "Shawn ah mai gei ni" I was like "wut?" And she was like " bu yong ke qi la. na la na la"
Chronicles of the fair Lady Krumpler and Sir Puma(pt.2): So his sister is like vp of the hcjc drama club(AWESUM). and so they have yearly camps where that have secondary school participants and they need to send invites everyyear. they usually have 30 participants. they had 14. so a week before she asked me to muster as many ri boys as i could, so i enlisted rp(GO RP) and some random ppl that my juniors knew. tada! out came 8(or 9?) boys and the attendace shot up by erm. eh. i cant do math. but alot %. Luckily there were alot of chij girls, or the gender ratio would have been weird. and his sis said that RGS(looking at you,clare) participates every year, but this year, in her own words "they have some stupid artsfest thing". I agreed with her. the camp was awesome and those rgs girls sure missed out on alot. So they she was like thank god for you peeps, or else there would have been more facilitators than partipants. and so she bought me the shirt and told her mum, who in turn bought me the bag. yeaouch. anyways, their awesome people, with alot of cash.
~the end~
time to talk about the rest of life. which is erm.
.wait for it.
NOTHING. D:
Well actually no. Went to JJ's house on like the 17th, dont rmbr exactly when but i played rock band for the first time, with bryan. it was before bryan was gonna leave for franch for 5 weeks. (JEALOUS MUCH) anyway they both have the game at home. so i was the noob. and i cant really do much but Sing. (YESH I CAN SING CLAR) so i sang like 7 diff. songs I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE all about 70 percent score but had a song i was really good at 97% erm. i think its by fall out boy? dead on arrival or something. anyways rock aint my music. i mean look above for lady gaga.
I SWEAR, i really hate the songs in that game, but hey, music is music,and i got 97%. awesome right! and i dont even know the songs. then they wanted to sing some rock song that i didnt know. surprise surprise! you;re not gonna find a nine inch nails or KISS fan here. so i started drumming. on easy mode. and i failed twice. but hey, im learning. always am. never did try out guitar. we ended up stopping and the day became boring as we debated on what movie to watch. sadly. bryan wanted american pie and jj wanted something touching. i couldnt be bothered so i tried karaokeparty, but failed since there was no mic. and then we ended up wqsting time and then dinner with pizza wathcing death race. and then they playing fifa xbox soccer. buh, while i went up to househunt and all my other facebook apps. i came down and palyed 2 games and i'm never playing fifa xbox again. they even named a move after me.
Shawn. defn: the kick the ball out after a few successive kicks. defn2: shoot at the audience
So yeah. and then bryan lost really badly with erm a penalty shot. and they started wrestling. its fun to see kids fight. anyway after 15 rounds they decided it was a tied, but i still think jj won. fun stuff. then i went home, driving bryan to the mrt with me as well.
okay erm. i really think thats about all that happened since the holidays, other than camp react, but i think camp react should be said through pictures so thats in "videos of shawn" on facebook. haha. like 5 minutes of montage. likea 50000 word essay.
oh and yeah. my sec4 year WILL be a blast for RP. i will ensure it.
Eh, I originally wanted to write this blogpost to explain to ayj abuut what he tot sounded like stalking. so here goes: okay. see theres an rgs show called aparallel. so i was gonna watch it on wednesday, so i got my friend zhiyuan to order it form his friend sarah tan(i think). so i found out clare was watching it too and told her im watching on wednesday, and clare sorta tried to get wed tixs. then zhiyuan told me there werent anymore tixs on wed and so i had to settle for tues, and i told clare this and she changed hers back to tues. AND then my friend friking told me actually theres still tixs left and he took the liberty to order them for me and i wanted to tell this to clare but clare wanred me against that since it has already caused her alot of trouble to keep switching days for the tixs, so that really pissed her off, and ya thats why i called you ayj.. there.
Wokay. now that that sagas' over. really into electro pop nowadays since it gets you into like a party mode. eg, tik tok by kesha and patron tequilla by paradiso girls.
hmm, really looking forward to eoy results, dunno why. also. how am i suppoed to wish mrs simon happy bday? and..... clare its clement's ccamates i think, not his classmates,
*Does weird crunk dance, the sort you see in the 80s videos that doesn't really look like dancing, but more like arms and legs in particularly pattern-like movement, like what the Zohan dances like, you know that sort of dancing*
*Cools Down*
*you might see so many typos that you'll think that i'm insane, but I am, SO GET USED TO IT*
*does the pop'n'lock dance wildly. wiki/google that*
Phew. Alrite. Now that i'm sane, or less insane than my usual self, let me chronicle my life thus far in this harrowing eoy period. *pauses*
LIFE HAS BEEN AWESOME.
Yup, contrary to what most people would feel, life in Boarding gives the EOY period a new freshness, I guess. I mean how often do you actually have the discipline to sit down and do 400 marks worth of math? Only when eveyrone around you is doing that same. And how often can you just pop by to your neighbours room and sit down and eat cup noodles(free.btw) and study bio, or teach them chem(rhymes). ITS FRIKING AWESOME. Anyway, i've got one week left in boarding, i've got an awesome/weird roomie(no not awesomely weird) and hes got similar views with me on life and all and we can tlak about stuff, AND he's in a external chinese drama club, and how cool is that! So i'll be missing him once boarding life is over, and altho we'll meet in school it'll be different as friends nia. ROOMIES FTW! And erm everytihng boarding ghas with it as well. Really missing the lifestlye soon even thou i have like 1.5 weeks of boaridng left.
Right, now to talk about other stuff. Those from SHPS, ya'll know Sanat? The 6/9 dude? No?
*silence*
Okay anyways he was my classmate in p3 and we always compared abt who was funnier and all, and I guess he is now, but after I left for GEP never tot I would see ihm again but we're in the SAME FRIKING CLASS NOW, and hes so lame lunch with him is truly awesome. Although I am still smarter than him I mean 3.65> 3.2-3.3 right? Anyways, never tot and it truly been a great surprise to meet him again. Sanat most probably will never read this but if your seeing this, you're a great friend!
Right. about yesterday. I was STARING at clare on the train and my ri friends tot I was looking her up(wtf, classmates?!) and I kinda looked like a pervert. but anyway, it took clare a total number of 6 stops before she was like SHAWN! SORRYX10. I was kinda amused. And we didnt talk , since ti would be awkward for the 2 groups of friends. Really wanted to walk over and ask u where mg is today, and what to do since our exams are over(take that AYJ) at mg, and I DONT HAVE CARDS, but my immature friends were teasing me. GROW UP CLASS MATES. Buh if you're thinking why i was on the train with them in the first place, it's because there the only ppl in my class to live in the east.
And about MG. CLAR YOU HAVE to show me the fonnian lore, I keep hearing about and it already sounds like such a deep unirverse with so much to explore! I heard i got a tribe names after my barbequing expertise. hmm. waiting for that. And there so much to it I HAVE TO READ/SEE IT!
And about after exams plans I HAVE NOT IDEA WHAT IMA GONNA DO? Im thinking of finding a job, learning a new language, getitng fitter, learn a new skill and slack. COME ON 6.12/3c/RP give me ideas and things to do!
hmm. about RP. I really wonder whats gonna happen next year. I can only hope and wish.
ps. Bryan seethor are you happy now that I;ve given you Sb+ for your bday! HUH? HUH? gah why am i so nice to you
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.
Taken from... Clar/Clare/Fon and AYJ (btw will be very to what has been said)

These eight people you just picked are stuck in a house with you for a whole year. There is no leaving the house at all until the year is completely up. If you had to choose a person for every question below, write down which person it would be. (oo exciting)
There are 4 rooms. Who will be in each room?
Room1- Clar and Clare and Mala Room2- AYJ and Me Room3- Tabi and Kim Room4- The Fon
If there was someone singing in the morning who would it most likely be?
Room 2, sorta of like a fusion of diff. types of music. Pop-rock vocal stuff.
If someone was considered the dad and the mom of the house, who would it be?
Clare. And AYJ. I wonder what mom and dads do when their children are not around.
*Expanding on the family concept, what roles would the other six people take?
Well. I would be like the rude 2nd Brother. And Older sister Tabi would always be scolding me. Fon and Kim would be like squabbling twins. Clar and Mala would be the trapped in centre kids with normal outlooks but are totally insane like everyone else. (Reality Show Worthy)

There was two bags of chips bought at the store, but 20 minutes later they are gone. Who ate them?

There’s a prankster in the house that put plastic on the two toilets in the house, who are the pranksters?
I would.

Hmm. A room that has computers and a personalized sound booth system for everyone and has like a giant central book shelf were once u read out the title and author of the book a book would appear in your hands.
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.

I am in a point of my lfie when I am unable to decide what to do.
Firstly. Mushrooms or cheese bread for supper. These are the painstaking heartwrenching decisions one has to make everyday.
No but really, life has not been good for me. My CCA is in Shambles, because two core CCAs is not good for you. :/. Just joined Raffles Players(technically, but ive been doing drama since sec1), and SYF is coming up soon. Gym attendance is very much non existent.
School is also bad. 3scihist was kinda a rushed decision. I am slightly doubting my choice.
And, it has also just occured to me that I HAVE NO LIFE. ARRGH. EMO. ARGH
However, in the midst of all this sorrow (>.<) , good news is that unknownst to me ,i was nominated for a scholarship called the YDSP (young defence scientists programme) scholarship. Interview tmrw!! -.-
Now time to study for bio test, prepare for interview, do Chinese presentation, do math, prep for chem test, prep for RE. AHHHHH
See the new year has been hilarious. small little things make it so.
However my new class has really been quite unfriendly to me. Firstly, i have mr Jee as my ft. ENough said. Now im no racist but there are 13 malays in my class. the whole class will turn so clique-y, with socializing being top priority. MY GOD. Nvm that.
We will discuss more tragedies. First day planning was shit. there were long waits(those you experience at wedding dinner when waiting for the lovebirds). we waited a whole hour for activities to begin.
however, that said the RJ PRINCIPAL is a very fresh person. alot better than bobby koh =.=. Shes quite the speaker, and a new face for 2009.
So what happened a few days ago was that me & kaicong watched 4 christmases together at AMk hub.
hehe. I laughed my tooth out. And im not kidding i thinking my left front tooth tried to kick away my bottom right tooth when i was choking on all the movie had to offer. That was very funky.
And now my favourite time wasters. This is from tabbies's blog, but i don't think she'll mind.
