Plays and Players

I think I messed up my PHP (peer helping programme) interview yesterday, they didn't look particularly impressed. I did have a great view from the top of the hill, where the Student Services Centre is though!

Epiphany rehearsal again last night, like Tuesday. Until 10.45pm or so. The plays are coming together really well =] It feels great being in the Black Box with so many different groups rehearsing and putting so much effort into this. And J better keep my iPod safe and not shuffle his feet =D

Managed to go catch the first half of the first DVD of LOTR, The Return of the King, Extended Edition. The scenes I haven't seen before are amazing! And really funny =D

So after rehearsal, I rushed off, and reached Vasu uncle's house at around 12.15am, to watch the second half or so of the semi-final match! India vs Pakistan; epic. Afridi has my respect, and Misbah is really sneakeh! And I have a small problem with the Indians' fielding.

Oh and Prof Y recommended my name as one of the HSS Ambassadors, I got the confirmation call today! Is this an exciting sem or what!

Final day of shooting for HL303 presentation today! A puppet version of A Christmas Carol, on film. This is one of the most memorable, fun projects I've ever been in! Can't wait to see the final product tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also Theatre Night 2! Wow it's going to be done so fast.

I can't wait to start preparing for EcoVenture 2011, Indonesia!

Made it to EcoVenture!!

To people who keep stopping me near MRT stations

I respect your beliefs, but stop trying to convert me! Isn't it enough that I hear you out, when everyone else ignores you?

I hate that they use rhetoric to try and get me on their side. They're YOUR beliefs, not "our beliefs", and stop assuming my disgust for certain groups of people just because they transgress YOUR views.

And why do they never understand that my life is in perfect order? I'm definitely not in desperate need of help. I agree when you talk about natural disasters happening frequently, but that does NOT mean I fear death and what happens after (if something does happen).

I can respect your views only because of the beliefs I hold and was born into, so there's no way I'm ever going to switch to your camp, especially if it claims to be the only right way.

Thank you and good day =]

Hindi Lessons and how'magonna survive this sem

I started Hindi classes yesterday! With my sister, under Shiva. Really hope I can stick with it. LitFest next week - and I think the exhibition may have to be scrapped. So many people have started on essay outlines and stuff, and I haven't even looked at the questions yet/ finished reading all the texts yet. YOU WANTED A 4.6 THIS SEMESTER REMEMBERRRRR? Preeti's party! =] OH and Ecoventure interview tomorrow! There's overwhelming response, according to them. Just what are the chances =\

I just listened to a Master

T. N. KRISHNAN CONCERT! O_O

I'm speechl-




(I regain momentary control of my voice to say, F.A.M.E. is in Singapore! =D )

The things you learn at Uni

Lichee can identify who I am over the phone from the way I laugh! =D

Also, if I did Jazzband in, it would be homiecide.

Aaaaaaand, recess is done.

Eventful week, I must say.

Monday - Powercycling with Bhuva at Suntec. =]
Tuesday - Indie trail with Hui Fang! pictures soon.
Wednesday - Clearing piles of books on the floor, violin class, rehearsal with dancers, start of Music Festival concerts!
Thursday - Planning for Saturday's party. Mixtape-making! And finally, new sneakers =D
Friday - Rushing to start homework/where did the week go. Happened to catch an episode of Supernatural on TV! Dance by Rama Vaidyanathan at Esplanade Theatre.
Saturday -

Dharini's house for final rehearsal and changing attire. Back to SIFAS at 7.30pm, concert began at 8.30. Went alright, according to others. Playing for the dancers went alright too. Took ages for everything to end, finally managed to leave, cab home, and rush to Goldkist Resort for Saranya's chalet! Made it there before midnight. Played games/talked/met people I hadn't met for a long time till 4am, then Ganesh and I walked Sus and Sarah out to Marine Parade. Not feeling sleepy, we were wandering around the room, when we were joined by Saranya. Walked out to admire the beach at night, and recreated Dobby's tombstone in the sand =] Talked till it was past 5am, then I decided that I should get some sleep. Vaishu joined S and G after that, while I caught an hour or so of sleep on the mattress we brought down from the room upstairs and crowded on. At 6plus, the others returned from their stroll, and Lincon suggested we go watch the sunrise. So we went out again, with Vaishu, and sat on a steep breakwater admiring the huge moon and faint sunlight. =] nothing very pretty, but it was still worth it. Came back to the chalet after 7, where I caught another 20 minutes of sleep, before leaving at 7.30am for home. Pushpa left with me too but the others were still asleep.

Had intentions of starting on my work after a shower, but a short nap after the shower became deep sleep =\

Sunday - Fadilah's BBQ party! And the long walk there because I underestimated the distance.. Sorry HF!

And now, what was all that work I'd planned to do over the hols?...

RECESS IS HERE

And to celebrate, I went to the bookshop, found those scrap pieces of paper you test pens on, and wrote random messages to anyone who happens to read them.

Thoughts as I rush my HL203 essay

1. Thank goodness this has a small word limit.
2. I wish I were a MACHINE OF CREATIVITY that would churn out awesome, subjective, personal literature. -raises eyebrows-
3. Aren't actors and actresses ever scared that they'll get stuck in a role?
4. One more day till recess HUZZAH.

"Four for the kids that don't wanna be there"

Somehow, Darby found my unused Facebook account that I had to get for COM253 last semester. Once once he did, Djo, Ousmane, Patrick and Chyening found me too.

I didn't have the heart to ignore their friend invites, so now I'm using FB for the YOG folks.

Sighhhhh.

LASERS IS OUT TOMORROW, FINALLYYYYY

Heartlanders are really awesome!

I had to interview them for my news report assignment, and most of them (especially the youngsters) are really nice and friendly and helpful. At least, at the area I was exploring - the HDB blocks at Pioneer MRT and Boon Lay MRT. For one, there was the guy who walked me to Pioneer Mall instead of just givin me directions, and there was the group of people who gave me a lot of interview material and wished me luck for the assignment =]

A lot of them donated $10 bills to a street performer at JP - I don't recall seeing such generosity at Parkway Parade. I hardly recall seeing many street performers at all.

You get your fair share of rude people as well though, not to mention how my article was about groups of teenagers creating a ruckus at void decks at night. But the overall attitude of the people is different from the attitude of the people where I live.

As Dean Moriarty would say, they've got "IT".
