台一农场

btw if you guys still dunno, i will be going to taiwan AGAIN with two of my nie classmates. both are guys, so its going to be a sausage party. hoho.

last year december when i went with darling, we covered yilan, hualien and taipei.

this time round, we will be going to kaoshiung, taichung and taipei (AGAIN). actually kaoshiung and taichung i went before, but that was like 12 years ago, when i was in sec 2.

at kaoshiung we will be staying for two nights at this 3-star hotel called 统茂饭店.

at taichung, we will be staying for two nights at this farm called 台一农场.

and for the first night, we will be eating dinner there, and because the farm is a flower farm, so the theme of our dinner is on flowers.

hope they will taste delicious. haha.

as for taipei, i wanted to stay in rainbow hotel (AGAIN), but sian ji bua, its already fully booked, so we will be staying at paradise hotel instead, for 3 nights. hope that we will really stay in paradise.

after this trip, i dun want to go taiwan again, for at least the next 5 years, unless someone fully sponsor my air ticket and accomodation.

ok back to my assignment. i have a 1000 word physio essay to hand in on friday, but because friday got no lessons, i dun want to specially go back to sch just to hand in, so i am trying my best to finish tonight and hand it in tomorrow. wish me luck!

past performance pics

i went to flickr, hoping to find performance pics of Retrospect and WO/OD. well i din find any of them, but i found a set of DR08 photos uploaded by someone else! :)

so to recap the memories...

who is this gal that raise the leg so high! 破坏行情 leh! its either chio outdoor enthusiast or zengyan. haha.

quite a few pics got me in the centre. i guess the photographer likes me alot... or maybe he is my friend? haha who noes. :p

i have another performance coming up. will be doing the 清男 item (me wearing the blue costume with the pigtail hat) at asian civilisation museum on the 28th and 29th march. because just nice the museum got a qing dynasty exhibition during that period, so invite us to perform.

and the most sian thing is that i tore the costume during Retrospect... :(

because the costume quite long, then as i was walking up the stairs, i stepped on the costume, and heard the *ZZZZZKKKKK* sound, and happy new year, one big slit on the costume. HAIZ...

watchmen

met up with my army friends in the evening. we had dinner at this mutton steamboat shop, that was shown in one of the mediacorp variety programs. food was not bad, the mutton meat and mutton intestines are fresh and tasty, and you must dip them in the signature chilli sauce. damn nice. those who are interested to go can let me noe, i can bring you all there. :)

after that we went to cineleisure to watch WATCHMEN. this movie is freaking long, 2 hours 41 min! although it is a superheroes movie, action scenes are not that many compared to ironman or spiderman, because alot of scenes concentrate on the cheem plot and the cheem lines.

so these are the watchmen:

from left to right:

the comedian, a marksman, and also a horny bastard. go fight in vietnam war can make a vietnam lady pregnant, then when the war concluded, the pregnant vietnam lady went to find him to demand a 交待, he gunned her down on the spot.

silk spectre II, super hot, voluptous and attractive woman.

dr manhattan, the only watchman that has super powers, because of a lab accident, which made him blue in color, and can travel on the surface of the sun and mars. expose his genetials freely during the movie.

ozymandias, the smartest man in the world. also the fastest, because he can move his body so fast that he can duck bullets and catch a bullet with his bare hand. si bei kua zhang.

nite owl, nerdy guy behind his superhero costume, can invent cool aeroplanes, and the most unfortunate thing that happen to him is that he cant erect when doing that thing with the hot silk spectre II.

rorschach, the most mysterious guy, with his face mask of white mummified bandages, and black patterns appearing on his face. how he manage to breathe? and he fights damn well too. my favourite character among the watchmen.

and my second favourite character is none other than:

hoho. very predictable ans, yes?

thursday post

today my group is presenting our dance project. for the dance project, we are supposed to choose a folk dance from the dance textbook, learn the steps in the textbook, and then teach our classmates the dance. we also have to make a teaching aid, and this teaching aid tells information about the dance, which country does this dance belong to, and other miscellanous information. most importantly the teaching aid must be interesting.

so here's wat my group did:

its a DIY castle. haha. that's why it looks a bit ugly. the instructions to build the castle were taken from some website. you may think that the castle is super ordinary, sure cannot score point, but well you are wrong. we have an element of surprise. haha.

the bottom is actually a styrofoam box, and we built the castle on top of the cover of the styrofoam box. so once we remove the cover, we have:

ta da!

tancuj is the name of the folk dance that we taught to our classmates. tancuj is a folk dance from czech republic, and czech republic is famous for castles and dance theatres, so we built a mini dance theatre. we also place task cards inside the styrofoam box, so that they can be taken out to read, and therefore know more about the background information of the country or the dance.

although the workmanship is far from impressive, but i am still proud of the final product. must really thank my group mates' effort in making this whole thing together.

---------------------------------------------------

went to ichiban sushi for dinner together with darling. our first nice dinner in dunno how many weeks, no thanks to the numerous dance practises. haha.

food was fabulous! think we super long nv eat jap cuisine, and darling has a very strong craving for sushi, and so here we are at ichiban.

next week got many assignment deadlines. damn stressed. :(

suicide

i am sure everyone has heard of the tragic news of the ntu fyp student, who is from electrical engineering, stabbed his professor, and then went to one of the buildings, go up to the fifth floor, jumped down and died.

so for those pple doing fyp, dun be so stressed to the extent of doing stupid things. life is beautiful, and you still haven live long enough to experience the beautiful things in this world.

btw this issue has become so 轰动, and also being used to crack a joke. i went to facebook, then one of my friends mentioned that his fyp professor is going to lab to visit him. then another friend replied: "stab him."

-.-''' ............................ seriously wats up man. haha.

and i will also like to mention that my room-mate is also a final year student, which means he is also doing his fyp, and he is from electrical engineering.

dun think he is stressed cos i always see him play warcraft when i come back to the room after lessons. but everytime when i hear him heave a loud sigh i will tend to freak out.

hope that when i am asleep in the middle of the night he wun come and stab me. haha.

more pics from WOOD

280209 - day 1 of WOOD

we had a rehearsal in the afternoon. and then there were six of us standing together, and we realised 3 of us wearing black, the other 3 wearing white. so its a 黑白大对决. hahaha.

after the rehearsal we took one group pic. grace and chio outdoor enthusiast "heart plane heavy", because they raise their legs. and i like the lighting effect in this pic.

then we went to change into costume and do our make-up. and after that is crazy photo-taking session. haha.

my mummy's eye-shadow make-up. look like poster colors hor. haha. btw if you are clueless who my mummy is, she is the lady in the first collage. and she just recognised hw as her son too, so now me and hw are BROTHERS.

parade of handphones. we place the handphones there because inside the dressing room got no reception.

group pic of us in full costumes and make-up. this was taken 10 min before the actual performance.

010309 - day 2 of WOOD

darling was chosen to be the model by WOOD's official make-up artiste. btw the official make-up artiste is none other than the bird. she got a diploma in make-up from some recognised institution. dun play play. and darling really look damn stunning.

and now, let me intro the 3 most important characters in WOOD. without the 3 of them, this production wun be possible.

from left to right:

shumin, the bird, also one of the trees. she is the official make-up artiste. u see the stunning eye make-up for the trees? yup its done by her.

mike, the choreographer, also the admin manager. worked with him in DR08, for the chu lu and sexes item. very honoured to be able to work with him again in WOOD.

yifen, the costume designer. she is a wonder woman. she can sew costumes. she can make logger boots. she can make head gear. she can even cook. wah lao she is god. yueniang or tao-jie can go eat shit. haha.

the present that grace got for mike. seriously i must say she got alot of creativity in choosing this present.

the tall flower on the right is yifen. the bird on the left is shumin. the six angels are the natives. white color is native girls, black color is native guys. the 5 buckets are the non-pdd trees. the 6 houses are the 3 loggers and 3 pdd trees. so each and everyone of us wrote a note for mike and then we use pegs to secure the note to our own represented icon. *thumbs up for grace*

if any of you got watch the performance, the pic below shows me, laval, hw and darling impersonating as natives.

took another group pic right after the performance, with all the shredded paper. haha.

and a group photo with the chi dance pple who came to support us as audience.

finally, i will like to thank my mum, my sis and also my classmate (together with her bf) for coming to watch. especially to my classmate, cos we have anatomy test the following day. hahaha.

she and her bf together for ten years already, since secondary sch. amazing~

wood day 2

this morning went to expo with two of my nie classmates to look out for good travel deals. we settled for taiwan (yes again), 8 days 7 nights, free and easy. we will first take the plane to 高雄, stay there for 2 nights, then go to 台中, stay at a farm for 2 nights, and finally go to 台北, and stay there for 3 nights. altogether cost us 790 sing dollars per person, which includes the air tickets, airport tax, 2 night stay at 高雄 and 3 night stay at 台北. the farm stay charges will be paid at the farm when we reach there. cant disclose the charges because the towkay neo said she give us a very good deal because she see us so handsome, so must not tell anyone. haha.

ok after that went to fong seng to eat lunch with my classmates, and then headed to ucc for a picnic session with the dance pple. we have quite a spread. the food comprise of munchie donuts, black pepper spring chicken, honey glazed spring chicken, salad and soft drinks.

and finally is WOOD performance. i think this is better than the saturday performance. at least the debugging of yeelian din cock up. haha. and i heard comments that i look very fierce. hoho.

no more weekend practises! yay!

and i am going to fail my anatomy test tmr.

WOOD day 1

so today is day 1 of the performance. i was very very sian because there is a high chance of me being activated for mobilisation, and i already planned to bring all my army stuff to ucc, then once i finish my rehearsals, i will change into uniform and bring all my barang barang to the mobilisation centre.

but thank god that before i left the house i called my rsm to tell him i will be late for the mobilisation, but he told me today wun be activated, cos if really kenna activated, he will be activated much earlier than all of us. so when i call him, and he is still not activated, then there is a high chance that i am safe. phew... but pls dun get me wrong here. i definitely noe the importance of nation before self. but then this involves a performance, which we had put in lots of blood and sweat during all the practises, so i cant afford to let one mobilisation dampen my mood and therefore affect my performance standard.

normally the first day of performance will have a few mistakes, is only the second day will get better. therefore for those who turned up today, very sorry that there are a few cock ups, but nevertheless all of us are thankful that you pple turned up to support us! :)

i very sian that after i did my second 旋子 i din stablise myself and fell on the floor. HAIZ. and the debugging of yeelian also cock up. the cloth was tied wrongly. but nvm lah, hw and i react accordingly, so i hope the audience wun find anything amiss. HOHO.

ok here are some pics:




the standard pose that two of us must do for each and every performance. haha.



native and tree


switching of roles. hw become tree, darling become logger.


bird and tree.


nv take much with my own camera, but got alot of other pics in other cameras, especially hz's and mike's. haha.

and hor, i must stress that performance and rehearsals are entirely different. in rehearsals u tend to show only 80 percent of ur effort, cos there's no stress and no audience. but in the actual performance, is definitely go all out. i was so high that after segment 3, i was already panting. after segment 4, i was already shag like hell. and of course i was pespiring non stop. even mike said i was a bit high and my actions were faster than usual.

all rite now looking forward to the final performance! :)
