audience is unpredictable

when i was in hall, and was going through the chinese drama rehearsals as the male lead of a drama production, the hall's grand senior mr yam tsun chze (hope i nv spell his name wrongly) told me this, 观众是无情的，是变态的.

at first i dun really get wat he meant. but during the performance, i understood wat he meant. lines that are not supposed to be funny, the audience laughed. lines that are supposed to be funny, the audience din laugh. when the mood is supposed to be serious, the audience also will laugh. but i guess that most of the audience are friends of the cast on stage, so when they see their friends having to act serious on stage, they will laugh.

this is also wat happened during my group's gym sequence! when it is supposed to be the funeral segment, where we are mourning for the loss of the rainforest because of deforestation, my classmates laughed. hahahaha.

and thanks to them, yixin also um chio, while i was still emo-ing because i was too engrossed, but i was still alert to wat is going on. so when i bent down and lifted her, i whispered to her not to laugh, and she stopped um chio-ing. i think it was really quite classic at that time. hahahahaha.

but actually, i must say that this gymnastics module is very fun, because i get to choreo my own individual sequence and choreo most of the group sequence. saying that i choreo most of the group sequence also a bit 说不过去, because the idea is totally copied from WO/OD, where mike is the brainchild, not me. and for the individual sequence, i also used quite a few of nzj's trademark moves, laoshi's dr09 choreography, and some other moves here and there. i think i am like hatake kakashi with the sharingan. HAHA.

thanks to darling and my dance friends for praising my creativity. i really really 受之有愧. but the positive comments mean alot to me. thank you very much. *bows deeply in appreciation*

and this is my favourite pic of the group sequence.



looks familiar? hahahaha.

i noe we dun look as good as nzj and clare, but taking into account that yixin got no dance background, and my dance background is not as lao jiao as nzj, can already le lah!!! 随便 lah 随便 lah 随便 lah~

last match of SHL2009

our last match was against team torpedos, made up of temasek and kent ridge alumni. well we lost 37-16, and yes i conceded 37 goals, but to me the scoreline doesnt mean anything, since i am used to conceding so much goals. hoho. but i still can give myself a pat on the back that i made quite a number of good saves! waiting for kok kwang to send me the video clip of the match!

and finally, got one decent pic taken of me saving a shot! many thanks to yuliang's gf! :)

the team photo! (must take with my groin guard. hahahahaha.)

conclusion of gymnastics module

the individual sequence was on wednesday, and i felt that i din do really well, and i was quite sad about it. so i din want to upload it on facebook because it is not good enough to be shown to everyone. but i uploaded it on youtube, so view the video below if you are interested. haha. and look out for some familiar choreography!

the group sequence was on the next day. so my group had one last practise in the morning. after practising for a while, we start to play around with the equipment and apparatus. hahahaha. very very fun. :)

the trademark "天" pose.

wah they also can do ah!!!

now you noe why. hahahahaha.

btw let me introduce my group members:

the one below me is kok soon. oldest among us. very typical hokkien peng. he is a sprinter, and although he is in his mid thirties, he still can run nine min plus for 2.4 km. or isit eight min plus? haha.

the humpty dumpty is king. he is the most well-rounded sportsman i have ever seen. very proficient in many sports, for example soccer, basketball, volleyball and tennnis! can also run very fast, eight min plus for 2.4 km. can do gymnastics very well too, for example the front flips and back flips. he is really one crazy guy.

the female is yixin. a very very zai handball player. plays handball so well and shoots the ball so hard that can match any of the above average male players. has a very ruthless face whenever she plays handball and make her opponents wet their lingerie.

i think our group sequence was not too bad! our theme is deforestation! some of the choreography for this sequence was taken from one of my previous performances, which is WO/OD, and michael is the choreographer. haha. but of course majority of the sequence is done in gymnastics, and all of us contributed a fair share of ideas.

because the group sequence was not too bad, so i dare to put it on facebook. the response has been quite positive so far. :)

a group pic after performing the sequence! :)

monday post

70+ comments in the street challenge album that i uploaded on facebook. this shows how strong our team dynamics are.

i remembered the last time having that many comments in a photo album was the post-DR08 days. no thanks to hw and grace tiang contributing majority of the comments, although i must admit their bickering was quite entertaining. haha.

anyway just to inform everyone, liangbin is choreo-ing a taiji modern dance for emcc, which will be held in march. he invited me, hw and laval to dance in that item, and so far until now, hw and i have agreed!

tomorrow taking ippt in the evening! stressed... :(

ntu street challenge (handball)

i think in this semester my life is pretty much revolved around handball. it first started with the sunig handball tournament, and then the sg handball league, and now the ntu street challenge!

ntu street challenge is a whole day event organised by the ntu sports club. there are different sports being played, consisting of frisbee, street soccer, basketball, netball, floorball and handball.

so how did i ever get involved in this street challenge? it all started when two 20-year-old girls, anna and yilun, who happened to be in the ntu girls handball team, jio-ed my pe classmate huifen to form a team. the three of them knew each other because they are in the ntu netball ivp team.

and then huifen is tasked to jio the guys, so she came to jio me first in order to secure a goalkeeper for the team, and then i went on to jio kc, zhenhong and chong ghee.

presenting to you, the team photo (with the WAGs):

(my G is not around because she has to go attend a birthday party. haha.)

i must say that our team has very very strong dynamics. all of us clicked very well together. of course 5 of us are pe classmates. and the two 20-year-old girls had no problems communicating with us because they were very chatty in the first place and kept entertaining us with their comments. btw there is a ten year age difference between them and our oldest member of the team, who is none other than chong ghee. hahahahahaha.

and i must really thank kc, zhenhong and chong ghee who agreed to play. they really dislike handball due to the physical and agressive nature of the game, but they still played just for my sake and for brotherhood. i am very very touched.

in short, i really really LOVE my team!!!

anyway we won the champion. most of the teams dunno how to play handball, and they were playing more of the captain's ball or netball style. so for a handball player like me, i feel very kek sim when i am seeing all these. i think the referees were even more kek sim and they have to keep blowing the whistle for simple fouls despite telling the teams the rules and regulations before the competition.

seriously i hope that handball will become a more established sport in ntu, just like how popular it is in nus, but i think its kinda hard. the only reason why there are pple playing actual handball in ntu is because there are handball players who graduated from nus, and came into nie as teachers.

our prize is a new urban male bag worth $159! not the whole team got one bag! everyone got a bag each! wow ntu sports club really quite 破费. i shall give the bag to darling. hahaha.

and i really feel quite sorry for the ultimate frisbee champions, because their prize is just a tall hamper with all the tidbits, no abalone, bird's nest or shark fin. hoho.

THE VICTORS! chong ghee not inside this photo because he has to rush off for a family dinner.

the day was concluded by going to jurong point for celebration dinner at dian xiao er! and kc fetched me home after that! thank u so much kc! taiwan buddies rock. hahahaha.

friday post

ok i noe i have not been updating dilligently. instead i am writing more posts in my pe class blog. hahaha.

this sem is ending really soon, and i am dreading it, because once next sem starts, we only have six weeks to enjoy in nie before we embark on the ten weeks of practicum. many of my classmates applied for schools already. i choose not to, because i feel that if i apply for a particular sch, the management will have high expectations of me, then if i dun deliver the results, i ho sei already. so i rather go into a sch as a nobody, and let everyone slowly discover my talents! wah hahahaha. so let's leave to fate on which sch i will be posted to.

all of my pe modules have ended, except for the gymnastics module. actually i quite like gymnastics class because i can express myself freely, and my lecturer will always 鸟 me for doing the typical wushu or chinese dance stuff when we are doing our planned sequence.

for example, at the start of the lesson will always be stretches, and then she will teach us new stuff like forward roll, backward roll and cartwheel, then at the end she will give us ten minutes to think of a sequence that incorporate the rolls, the cartwheel and some other actions. so we have to think in different groups, then after every group present their sequence, she will give some comments, and these comments are always positive.

so after my group presented the sequence, she will say the blah blah stuff, then after the blah blah stuff she will add on, "of course there is yy with his usual chinese dance routine in the sequence", "the final pose of the sequence is very yy" etc etc, and the whole class will just laugh. hahahaha.

anyway, let me show you some pics of our final lesson, which is pyramids!

(woo hoo national triathlete stepping on me leh!)


(woo hoo i am holding the legs of national netball player!)

(now i am holding on to the thigh of the national triathlete!)


(someone's butt kenna molested until very 爽)


(yay the final pyramid! this pic was taken when our pyramid is done and the national triathlete is coming down.)

next week we will be presenting individual sequence and group sequence, where we will be graded. i shall be secretive first on wat i am going to do. hahaha. nx week i will definitely ask my classmates to take video so i can upload on the blog! stay tuned!

sunday post

as expected, liverpool won man u by 2 goals to NIL. WASSUP!!!

i shall nv make news of man u matches in my blog anymore!!!

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

anyway on a side note, we played handball against (the founder of sg) hall, and we lost to them 23-22. wat a pity... :(

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

on another side note, i got something to share with everyone. my friend's friend happened to be doing relief teaching at a pri sch. on her last day, her students from a pri 1 class gave her a secret note.

and here's wat the note said:

.

.

(in very untidy scribbled handwriting)

Teacher, we are so sad that you are living.

.

.

so should the teacher feel happy or sad?? next question you might want to ask is does she teach the class spelling? seriously i also dunno. hahahahahaha.

happy 3rd year anniversary darling!

it is unbelievable that i am already attached to the same girl for 3 years. this shows that i have grown to be more mature, stable, understanding, tolerating, AND less childish, wilful, petty, bashful. of course darling is such a wonderful girl, be it character or looks, therefore i am just hitting myself on my groin with a bowling ball if i should ever let go of her.

having said that, HAPPY 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY DARLING!!! its a amazing and wonderful 3 years with you, with lots of precious and happy memories.

i made a very simple photo collage for darling. really very very simple, because i fail art. hahaha.

we celebrated our anniversary this year in a very simple manner. went to plaza sing to eat dinner at ichiban, then we watch the movie 500 days of summer. it is a movie that tells us that love is actually fate. if you are fated to be with someone, you will be with that someone. no matter that someone is how chio or how hot. no matter that someone is called summer or autumn.

ok that's about it. i love you darling. :)

AND TONIGHT TEN PM IS LIVERPOOL VS MAN U! WOO HOO! COME ON RED DEVILS!!!

*everytime i mention something like that in my blog, man u will lose. let's see whether the curse will break. haha.

congrats darling~

i will like to proudly announce that darling passed her driving test! on the first attempt!!!

yours truely only passed on the 4th attempt. hahahahaha.

so happy for you darling! :)

more pics from match 1 and match 2

match 1:

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

match 2:

we had bad referee calls again. and meaningless two min send-offs. got one point of time i only had 3 players defending my penalty area, against 6 of their players! btw in an actual handball game is 7 vs 7, including the goalkeeper.

the score for match 2 was sheares 33 - ntu 24. this scoreline reminds me of the kevii handball days, except that my team now is scoring more goals.

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

i have assignments to do, but yet i dun have the motivation or momentum to get started. i must think of an alternative assessment to test my students on macromolecules! alternative assessment ie no exam, no test, no practical. how how how? help me pls... :(

virgin video-making experience

you may call me bhb, vain, wassup, bo liao, or any other negative terms, but, ladies and gentlemen, watch the video below done by yours truely!



anyhow do one, so dun be too critical ok... haha.

saturday post

this afternoon was our first match in the sg handball league, against raffles alumni.

finally have pics of me in action! many thanks to ziqi's girlfriend. hahahaha. btw ziqi is a guy.

(because the opposition team is wearing red color jerseys therefore i have to wear the ugly yellow bib)

and the score is Alumni 32 - NTU 21. hoho.

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

after the match went to vivocity to shop with darling~

we had our dinner at breeks at harbourfront. the food is very nice and the service is very good.

(dun you think my darling is very chio?)


(the manager of the restaurant helped us to take this pic. good service!)

after dinner i fetched darling back home, and we watched 'the curious case of benjamin button'. its a really damn cool movie, sent some chills down my spine towards the end of the movie, but its kinda long, about 3 hour plus!

ok i am tired, going to sleep, tomorrow still have another handball match at 3 pm.
