Finding things I didn't knew was there..like hidden cup noodles. Finding things that gives a weird sense of nolstagia, like com203 notes. OKay,parents here. officially going GONE.
Slept in till 230pm, ate lunch my dad bought and went BPP with Huimin. Smuggled Macs chocolate milkshake into the library! Got 'pestered' by a librarian/security guard looking Malay guy cos he says we were blocking the way and blocking the shelves. -__-" Bought & watched The Perfect Cut 2! Borrowed books too, reading & watching shows here I come! :D Shared a subway foot long student meal for dinner just like old times. Walked around BPP and gosh it changed quite a bit! Got a few new food shops! (: Home after that for Stars Awards. Watching that with my parents feel like being young again. From the times when I'm rooting for ChenLiping because all kids know from TV is aiyoyo-laoshi. & I remember my mum used to like Xiangyun and Ivy Lee. To the years when Sharon Au was at her peak, the times when she can clinch 3 awards in one night. Then to the time after she left when I don't really watch tv anymore. This year is really different tho, all the new patterns of announcing the winners. I'm really glad Chor meng & Joanne Peh won, think the respective roles they played were brillant. (: 从小追看电视明星，现在疏离了，还是有所感动。
The sets of New York City remind me of the sets of Westside Story. The huge tree branch hanging over the stage reminds me of my silly little girl & funny old tree. The ensemble work reminds me of B & B.The 60s/70s Singapore scenes remind me of Family and Sunlight. The very simple couple dance & choreography reminds me of my IS dance. I miss theatre so much. 为了理想放弃爱情， 还是为了爱情放弃理想？ Dreams and desires. The storyline is quite touching, and it depicts reality too. Life is indeed fleeting and transient; you never know when you will die, or when loved ones will leave you. Changes in life, like the four seasons, are inevitable. The tree may grow new leaves, but after experiencing so much, for better or for the worse—it will never be the same again. In a way the role of Rose is so identifiable to me. Right from the acting of a cat (dot can testify that I’ve been a cat in sec 3 ;)) to her persistence & determination in going after what she wants, be it the person she loves or her dreams and to her straightforward & bubbly nature. Joanna Dong did a fantastic job playing Rose, I wish I were her. This is really love. Passion. Be it a lead, or part of the ensemble cast, or a backstage crew. Just being swept up in another world which is bursting with positive energy all round. It’s simply magical. Living for the moment, right there and then. It’s acting, it’s also taking a persona and being free. It’s a kind of exhiliberating freedom which can only be explained with absurdist theories. ;) Every production is different, everybody you worked with is different. But the love is constant, the passion is universal, and the magic never fails to amaze. And this is what theatre is.
Projects-intensive. Stuff were started early well intended to be completed early, and everything ends up with drafts and more drafts and consultations and more drafts. There were high standards, high expectations, and high quality. There were many conflicts, annoyances, disagreements, stress.(There were so many groupwork, I'm not pointing to any in particular so if anyone is reading pls don't be offended.) It was challenging but rewarding. Thankful to work with friends, who despite everything, left fond & fun memories. <3 The fondest of all being the hilourous compliance skit & the exploring of haunted innovation center & estates. Exams end up being the most relaxing part of Sem 2, because of the realization of the fact that exams is for yourself. Responsibility. There is the freedom to choose to study or not to study for it and the freedom to study whenever and whereever you want. It doesn't matter how it will affect the group's grades, dynamics & relationships. (and 254 theories come in again. sheesh.) I've been out studying quite a bit during the 2-3 weeks of exam times. At JP starbucks enough times for the girl at the counter to comment "You always come here right? Hi I'm Lyn. What's your name?" Been at ADM library enough times to concidentally meet KJ & Jiching there, and to concidentally see Mrs C there on another occasion, and to see someone run up to hug her. I was in such a dilemma whether to say Hi, but didn't in the end because it just seems so weird at the moment. Sigh, I miss her, I even dreamt about her that night. :( Been to ACRC, CS benches, Can A macs, BoonLay library & Casualpoet as well. Haha, I just can't stay still. ;) Another difference is that Sem 1 you get to see everyone around, Sem 2 things start to change and suddenly some people just disappear and you don't see them around anymore. Instead you start seeing the same people around everyday, especially when there's so many projects and group assignments. Both good & bad, and 254's knowledge bank from the friendship, dynamics & intimacy chapters come in again. ;) Next sem we are left with one core which has no groupwork. Some people are even going for exchange already. With the aftermath of FOC, seems like much dynamics are going to change. From Sem 1 to Sem 2 it has already changed so much. Just by looking at the people around: some people changes completely, some show their true colours. Politics start to emerge, especially with the FOC incidents. The truth about life. But enough with the pessimism, I believe true friends stick with you no matter what.^^ (No I don't want to talk about social exchange theory, LOL) Academic-wise, there has been great teachers. Bo & Benjy, can tell that they're really commited and helpful. Romantic music, candlelights & merci chocolates for lectures~ awesomeness. what can beat that? :D I regret not paying attention to/attending the crapp modules, but aye the harm's done. Haha, lesson learned--pay attention and don't pon no matter how crappish & useless it seems/is. 23 AUs is nuts, I'll be stupid to take what I want to take next sem (2 CS mods, chinese song lyrics, TCM, drama, jap, lit/socio-related mod, + go for SOJOURN program + do radio fusion + paparazzi commitments.) Please stop me(during registration time)if I get too ambitious then! yea. Hell of a sem. Physically & Emotionally. Its amazing how we all survived. But yea we did. (: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
awesome post-exam celebrations with awesome firsts, awesome food & awesome friends. <3
note: ask evadne to wake me up tml! (:
and really thankful yet again to someone whom I refuse to admit. haha. JIAYOU.
Sidetrack: Ironically I went there to escape the distractions of my laptop. AND there was 3 laptops (the group of guys) to my right, and 2 laptops (a couple) to my left, and 1 laptop to my left left (a chio European-Chinese looking girl). So much for no laptops. -__-" ANYWAY. there's 4 powerpoints near my seat. shared by the SIX laptops. The woman who keep moving about came over to stare at the powerpoint. (urm ya if you know starbucks JP, the powerpoints are UNDER the seats, which is quite -___-" to stare at because. ahem.) Ya then the group of guys kind of unplug, plug, unplug, climb here climb there blahblah for 10 minutes helping the woman to plug her thing in. -___-" Then after 6 hours or so, when the guys are about to leave, the woman came over and ask them questions like 'where are you guys from?' and introducing herself and they ended up talking about LAW and FINANCE? like OMG. Is she flirting or what! & somemore the guys are the cheena types and the woman was the posh angmoh type, from my observations heh. haha, I was quite annoyed by the woman and quite amazed that the guys were so nice. It was a pretty interesting 10 hours spent, tho maybe I spent more time participating in participant-observation rather than studying about it. :P
Chicken, Meiji yogurt & card games into the night. Its the little things that touched me.
I wish for.. my birthday wishes. HAHA. (:
Yes the above is plagarism but I DON'T CARE. :D
Doing badly for quizzes. I know why this week's been so horrible. There's comforts in all the littlest acts and things which mean the world to me. Thanks you all.(: I will be less moody and bad mood from now!
I think I'm emotionally tired.
MOTIVATE ME! :(
