class outing

oh saw this thing in friendster.. Something interesting...... Did you know that a
I was reading this article in i-weekly interviewing the contestants of project superstar. There was this part Kelly said about her music teacher, about how strict and scary he is, how he scold even if it’s only a small mistake, to the point that at first she always cried, but later she came to realize that her teacher scold because he wants her to improve, to bring out her talent. He scold because he ‘doted’ on her, if he doesn’t he could just not care at all. I was thinking about theatre, about Mr Tang. I think I’m being too sensitive but I had the same feelings. Like for syf Sunlight, I would never forget that scene. It was during rehearsals, lots of people were absent due to various reasons. It was Feng’s scene. He randomly pointed out some people to stand in for practically everyone in the scene. Maybe it was my fault for not being very familiar with everything..but I was kind of “revising” my lines when he pointed out the stand ins..so I wasn’t listening. The scene started. I didn’t realize there were standins and got a bit lost. Apparently Tang himself was standing in for Feng himself and it was my cue to run in and speak. Suddenly all was quiet, he was waiting for me to enter. I didn’t know what was going on and stared blankly since he didn’t deliver Feng’s cue. Then he was like ARGH! Screaming at me, DONT DREAM!! FOCUS!!what happened!? Then he got really frustrated and told everyone to take a ten minute break. By then I was sobbing uncontrollably. I ran out to the water cooler outside the hall. Cassie and XiAn was comforting me. I don’t know what happened. I know it was my fault.. After that he didn’t mention it again. But that night he smsed me, don’t think about it. don’t let the same mistake happen again.. Then there was Mulan. I remembered once when he called the nunus for a day of rehearsals, when we were only starting pre-fight. I wasn’t good at all. He even said I’m the weakest of the nunus. I appreaciate his honesty. After normal rehearsals, he would sometimes sms me, telling me to work hard and stuff. Sometimes I feel that I know I’m not good enough, I will work hard, but do you need to remind me and rub it in? But yeah, I understand that he was just concerned, it was only meant as an encouragement. He also once told us, he would push us to our max if he feels that we can be better, if he don’t care it means he had given up. There was also the time so near to opening. Fight scene was a disaster. Sam and I just could not make it. He was picking on us all the time, even threatening to replace Sam, and he was dead serious about it. I was so stressed, just looking at the other pairs make me cry. Sam brought me to the toilet, when I came out, lots of people was crowding around with the sudden attack of “Hi !” haha..I was really touched. Later I found out that Tang asked one or two nunus to see how I was, then everyone came. That night, he smsed me and sam telling us stress is good but do not let it overtake you, something about he believe we can do it. We did it! I realized the process is filled with so much memories, the obstacles and challenges, along with the much more fun-filled ones. I didn’t blog about them then because I just don’t want to think about them at those times, now after reading the article, tons of memories flooded back. He could be sarcastic at times, but he is also a really nice and sweet guy=) (haha..never ever thought I’ll say this)
think I flunked chinese though, no fair!! I studied ok!! I studied EVERYTHING from sec4. ok not everything but the hanzi and zaoju. Then I felt so stupid. I studied lor. and I still don't know 90% of them.=( Theatre elections today! Congrats to CAT and YIMING!!:):)and all the others..shimin bett evelyn yixin lead the club well ok? Go theatre club! haha..:D Guess what I did? play bridge!! haha..like so long never play le..me and bett won every single sets! woots! weekends rock!! I wanna SLEEP I wanna go out I wanna go swimming I wanna go play with cousins I wanna I wanna I wanna!!
Like just how am I susposed to survive this week? Boo..prelims in what? 5 weeks? I lost count, actually I didn't even bother counting. Not like when I was always counting down to syf..to mulan..maybe this extreme week is good, it forces me to get into the momentum of studying. Just have to compromise my sleep and stuff..sacrifice
Went Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital today. The time passed really quickly. We only walk one round half a ward and time's up. I think it was more of a practising simple dilect session. Our conversation were extremely amusing. and the conversation goes on ALL LIKE THIS. Scenerio 2: *we were getting ready to leave. It's 4.45. bus goes at 5. *walking past-a old woman stopped us* Scenerio 3: and there is this old woman who is a Hainanese. She sold chicken rice before she came here and she can speak Chinese, Hokkien, Teochew, Malay and -get this- Japanese. Quite unbelievable! Another old woman was pointing to my hingzi and was standing closer and closer to me (heh I was quite freaked out) and she was going: "nanyang good! Last time not good not changed until very good! all the students very hardworking and results very good! Nanyang very good! I saw it on tv.drama series. Good very good. I know from tv. 97.2 "
Today Mr Tang gave a talk on Mulan. It brought back so many memories. Nice ones. And that's it. the end. maybe the only thing left for now is the elections. TCN i luv u. Harry Potter is so addictive. It's so dark. Prelims are so soon. I really should start studying! **To the memories of Wong Ah Lan. Samsuipo. Canto.
BOO!! I'm blogging here in Woodlands library coz my com is down!! argh since mulan..on that fateful day guess what? my com crashed, my hp spoil, my camera spoil. like wow? haha. This week, the week after Mulan was really busy, catching up (or trying to) schoolwork and going o-ut (like with theatre mates) coz we all miss each other too much. Monday had extra lessons(i think), tuesday was theatre outing. Theatre outing was expecting like definately more than 10 ppl going but ended up only 6 ppl went. and that's after we kidnapped yiming's bag and tricked shum and sam into coming by telling them that we bought their movie tickets already!! We went there but the time for movie was not suitable so we went pasta mania and sam recommend the banana pizza so we all decide to share 2..except lis who ate spag and we added tons of cheese and chilli for her. Sherm, shum and sam went home while me ting n lis decided to catch war of the world. The cinema food are like SO super ex!! so me and ting sneak down to kfc and hide the bbq pocket thingie in our skirts!! and we all shared famous amos too! The movie is good and exciting. But I don't know how it happened but I kind of fall asleep although it was defianately NOT boring. Maybe I'm just too tired. Thursday there was Maths clinic. Aferwards went apple struddel place eating and doing homework before going cold storage and bukit timah plaza. Ting was trying on some sunglasses and we kinda "let it fall on the floor' and the lense came out -_-// The person came over and said if we cannot fix it den we have to pay. It's $17 plus!! then another person came over saying "nevermind la. dun scare the kids" haha..like it's good to look young!! We bought fbts before going back to school for dance nite!! It was so amusing. We saw Mr Mathew Lim at the science block and he was holding a torchlight trying to scare us but we booed him instead!! Then we hid behind a pillar and cried "diea! " (aka chinese for father aka from Mulan's scroller scene) He was so amused! Then we "made our way" to the hall *winks*. Saw Cat and YinCi thus decided to "tortue" them by BOOing them and Cat screamed and jumped like 5 times. haha..Aladdin was much more calm and composed. After dancing around for a while, we decided to BOO tang too. Went to the control room where gen and Mr Kuo also were. lol. FridaY was FOA day!! Theatre clubbers were sitting together for the quandrangle costume contest. our juniors are sooo cute!! They were the powerpuff gals!! haha also huiying cassie helen elaina joyce xian pinghui ayumi..ahh!! haha then the fight scene ppl went to the hall to teach the school some movements.It goes as follows: Yiming and Lis demo fight , Shum and Evelyn demo fight, everyone else demo how we started, ask them to try, we go around helping and teaching, den we picked some pairs to go onstage to demo, we demo whole fight scene. yay! Sec1s are the best lah!! sec2s are ok but we finish too early. sec3 and 4s are so not enthu=( More than half ponned it lah!! My whole class was not there..except one. Nevertheless it's fun. Hanging out wif theatre mates and doing theatre stuff are defianately the best! =) After that went ice-cream buffet. Amusing as usual. We being the nice santas decided to make lots of lurvy durvy stuff for her friend and her bf! things like their ice-cream heart and in their initals!! We cracked egg everywhere including in the 80% already evaporated tom yam soup!! I cracked my first egg ok!! haha..so proud of myself. whoas. I came library to do hw not to use net and blog!! argh..it;s almost 5 already and I'm going FOA concert with Kiwiz later. tata! =) -continued today- That was Saturday. Sunday I slept at 3 plus. PRO huh? I couldn't fall asleep. Think is coz I woke up at 11plus den afternoon sleep evening sleep..haha..piggie...Harry Potter rocks. so addictive=)
Met ting at 11am, went coro to buy lollys and write notes for our theatre mates, spent like 3 hours plus at Wadever cafe in coro writing the notes:) Made our way back to school at 3 and heard of a crisis. Yawen can't come because of an injury..everyone started planning a PLAN B. People replacing each other late minute, it was quite chaos. So we were working those "new" scenes and didn't run through the show at all. Lucky Yawen came last minute and manage to perform :) U go gal! Just before the show, everyone gathered on stage. The usual speeches and talks. The usual "sec 4s this may be your last time doing theatre. It's your last show together" and stuff. make me cry lor. den so xin ku, coz I was trying not to smudge my makeup, which would be a disaster~! anyway house opened late today. I'm so scared for the fireballs. Think my light screwed again. I did off it k. Then suddenly it is blinking, which is why I hid it with my clothes and quickly off it again..they said they didn't see anything..but I still feel bad..oh wells. Tang said enjoy every moment of it. I did. I was thinking in the wings, sec1 I watched the show from the control room, sec 2 and 3 from the backstage tvs and this time, from the wings:) The audience cheered after the fight scene!:):) whee! didn't expect that. haha..today's curtain call was the longest, I'm so so glad Mr Tang and Mr Tan came on stage. It was much much more hyper today than yesterday. Thank u all for coming to support and for all the flowers and stuff..luv ya guys:) too many to name..bella joy cat carol jodie kiwiz yanmin tiff hannah debo chain andrea xinying liting kai zee esme dor huiming and so much more! sorry if I miss u out..there were just too many The show ended at around 9. I left at almost 11. I so didn't want to go. right gen? haha..after packing some stuff me and wanting went around school koping mulan posters, from the 4th floor to science block to backgate to everywhere. It was pitch dark and we were being lame as usual, shieking and yelling mulan and father from scrollers scene. and the roars from fireball scene. Manage to find 2, one for each of us:) went around taking photos with lotsa ppl, including mr tang and mr tan. everyone was hugging like crazy..I can't believe it's over. and it is over. Tang told me to continue doing theatre 3 times. haha..I will for sure. There is so much TCN have given me, I will always cherish them all. TCNers, I love u guys, every single one of u. i know I will defiantely blog more about mulan and tcn and theatre. but it's almost 1 am now. for now, goodnight :)
Morning-after flag rising tcners ran to the back of the quadrangle as planned and did the crazy shavashava..and our own crazy dance..kind of..I think we're really enthu..haha..then there was the auction. We decided to bid for the tea that chenlili gave garytang as a club and give it to Mr Tang as a present. Then there was the mulan photos..the motorbike one was "snatched" from Mrs Teo and Ms Tan..and at one point of time, when the bid was 70 dollars, we decided to bid and give it to the teachers that was bidding for it coz they were so supportive of us, and it's only the most $2 each. But still the teachers continue raising the bid and we let them win..haha Right after that, we rushed to get our bags and stuff and reported at the auddy. Nunus are having the 2nd floor dressing room. All the auddy rehearsals made me have a special sentiment towards that dressing room. Of course I still remember the previous years where we spent out time in the spacious 3rd level right dressing room. fond memories..we did a run and I kinda screw up the fireball light. But I did check ok!! am pretty sure I turned it off..no idea why it was on..that's what scare me the most.. went for lunch outside the auddy at around 11 and all this time the funfair had been going on. Lunch was fantastic. Baked potatoes with LOTSA CHEESE!! and sandwiches with tuna and egg! and a fruit bowl. I love the potato and it's so fulling. The cheese is so so good. Back to auddy where we're susposed to sleep. I lost my jacket. I want to cry already..whoever saw it or took it by accident please return to me!! Yupz. so I didn't sleep coz I was thinking about my jacket and the show and stuff..and then it was another run. This one was quite ok but there were mistakes so Tang said we have to do another run to get the perfect show so that we know we can do it. After the runs, it was dinner (5pm)!! Dinner was fab too. the cheese potato again, and spagetti and SALMON!! and veggie and scrambled eggs and fruit bowl. Salmon is so delicious.:) Went back to do makeup and hair and preparations. By 7 we were ready. Time passes so fast. Before we knew it, doors are opened. The thing is this time round I didn't feel nervous, like i did in colours last yr..it was sadness, coz when it's over it's over. sec4s gonna leave..its just so sad. SHOWTIME!! nunu opening scene was really good. like what liz said, it's like the craziest we've ever did. I was like gasping and dying for water and coz my bottle was empty, borrowed from shumin's giant bottle..and POURED WATER DOWN MY SHIRT aka costume. and it was during the reaL thing lah!! lucky my shirt is all black and it dries quickly. It's my first time being in the wings for almost the whole show. Love being a left-winger. yay can watch the show life and not through the backstage mini tv. it went really fast. Soon it was fight scene. *uhoh* a NEAR screwup..after the first roll my mind switched to after the roll in fireball scene and ALMOST din react in time for the first move. heng siaz. curtain call..then it's over. HUMORGOUS Breads sponsered by breadtalk. It was hard..but quite nice. There's soup to dip the bread in too!! Can't wait for tomorrow. The closing. I feel excited and stuff..but ultimately the feeling in my heart is..coz I know after tomorrow..my life would crumble and die..no life.
Mulan tomorrow!! and it's Youth day celebrations too!! and I'm going to miss the funfair and everything..hmm..just a thought I won't get the funfair CIP points would I? Rehearsals went really late today. I only left school at around 7.35pm. The show is awfully short. We have not timed the actual thing but it's shorter than we thought. urm..we're EFFICIENT. haha..like what tang said.."EELALALIGO" is stated to be 4 hours long..ended up 2 hours plus..time seems to past so fast..in 2 days time all would be over..I would be leading a life of no life.. A shout out to TCN: NUNUS- We rocks the world!! We the bad guys!! nunus huddle!! We're the best and the coolest!! and united too!! Nobody dares to mess with us! I'm ever so proud to be a NUNU. Our "used to drop" lights and the last minute fireball scene, the perfected prefight and rolls..the time we spent sweating, working and sweating together and all..LOVE U GUYS To everyone-we worked and worked and worked just for this. All the wonderful experiences..all the bruises, injuries, sprains..all the runs (literally) and the auddy runs..making up new moves and perfecting them..the times of pure hard work and also pure slack..the addictive bridge and daidee and murderer games..the fab lunch breaks and sharing the giant tin of Jabsob and koping all kinds of food..WE WILL GET THE DOUBLE *hugs to TCN!!*
2 DAYS!!!
YAY nunus!! We reworked the whole fireball scene this two days. and kind of finally completed it. With only one week before and we're reworking everything..haha but we did it!! now my moves are not that random anymore and all the steps are planned. Our timing is very accurate!! just trying for the 1st time!! whee! I'm just afraid that the lights will fly..hahas.. We're one week from opening..aww man..it's really fast..fight scene still need to work..gosh..i really appreaciate this long weekend though..planning to go swimming 2mr morning to relax my muscles..then prob find time to watch initial D..and catch up with all my schwork for once..I seriously need to revise binomial theorem..I can't do a single question of the assignment=( hehe I won't be doing chinese or cme portfolio..gonna save them to do them in school.
