3:16 PM woo, home to nap, NLB dance auditions after this at 4.45. wahaha, imagine me, dancing. lets just try, try very very hard. im going to nap. raggedy muse
8:18 PM Just had a usual school day, realising how absolutely absent minded I am, placing my worksheets all over the place, losing my $48 Econs textbook which i realise is with Dewei, having to source through the stacks of wkshts in my bag for all my lessons. Its quite a miracle I have been handing in my work on time. I'm quite proud of myself. But well no choice, that's the way it is in AH. Man it's more motivation anyone can get even in RJ i bet. I truely mean it. Interclass Taboo against AD4, with 3 drama kids in their team, was a blast. Absolutely entertaining. Hurray Taboo! And I so wanna join Arts Council! Had PW meeting on GPP over Jap food at the cafe, which was very productive (really, I do love my classmates and groupmates). And a stark delayed realisation that Jia Jun MAY VERY WELL leave on UWC scholarship devastated me. I DON'T WANT JIAJUN TO LEAVEEEE NOOOOOOOO. (Heh.) WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT JIAJUNNNNNNN. Hahaaaaa. On another more sane note, AC DANCE GOT GOLD WITH HONOURS. Excellent, congrats all the dancers, esp drama-dancers, which are aplenty. (: Lots of projects coming up for drama as usual, AM GONNA AUDITION FOR DANCE for NLB proj. I need to overcome my fear of dancing and establish if I can actually dance at all. *CROSSES FINGERS* Being able to dance will prove very advantageous and even crucial for future 'career' in Drama. Right now, I think I have 2 left feet. And all the pro dancers scare me. INFERIORITY STRIKES. But we must all TRYYY. Dewei and Yelyn are going too so hurray. ANNNDDDDDD. Me and Dewei had better start concretising our Duo. I'm a little worried though there is not yet warrant for worry. And the fried pork is screwing up my throat. WATER WATER. raggedy muse
12:49 PM Here's what I did for DEP prep work for THEASTHAI. I decided to put it up for fun since I used blogger to save it from the school comp to print at home, and its in my drafts anyhow. Email isn't working quite well. -- I woke up and it was a BEEAAUUUTTIIFFOOOLLLL morning. The birds is singing and the sun shining. I thank God for the very lovely day. I begin packing my bed and brushing my teeth at the same time, totally not noticing the incessent ringing of the phone. I pick up. "Bonjour." "Si" "Si" "Ciao." That was God. He is commending my devout behaviour. I put on my favorite-test multi-coloured flowy skirt, the only one I ever wear. I knitted it myself. I love knitting. My white blouse goes above my head. I head down the stairs, 2 floors down and greet the people of my neighbourhood. Pablo, the old rickety senile man who is always swearing at nothing, or perhaps at the neighbourhood cat. I pat the cat and greet it, "Bonjour". Pedro the cook, not Pedro the doorman or Pedro the barber, but Pedro the Cook, grinned a toothless smile at me and winked. He is so nice. All the girls thinks he fancies me. Ton Ton looked at my fortune through the revered crystal ball at says that he fancies me. And what Ton Ton says, is never wrong. I hum, "Corazona, corazon.." And walk down 2 blocks to the manicure parlour. Past the display with a singular mannequin, with its spiky neon hair and peeling paint, sat my best friend, Rosalina, buffing the nails of Consuela, the barber's wife, chattering away. I push open the flimsy door, past the sign "Sexy Nails HERE.", and the mechanical parrot greets me with a sharp 'Ola!' The girls grin at my entrance and greetings ensue. "Morning, senoritas! Comari ta?" "Ay ay Maria, the same each day", remarks Estela good-naturedly, while keeping her eyes on her customers bright purple nails. Her make-up is a little too much as usual, with her favourite bright pink lipstick, and the chewing of that gum as usual. Rosalina pulls me by my skirt and sits me down at her 'booth' and gigglingly asks, "So, has Pedro made his move?" "Pedro the barber, the doorman or the cook?" "The cook!" And then I start ranting on, on how he grinned at me, and what Ton Ton said, and how Pedro the barber is really nice too, and how at the door yesterday I bought 2 apples and a few peppers from Pedro's wife, Pedro the doorman, not Pedro the cook or Pedro the barber, and how I heard the Pedro was having a affair with Esmerelda, the daughter of the neighburhood's crazy old man. Roosalina just shrieks in excitement and nods excitedly. That’s why I love her. After all my topics are exhausted by a third, I decide that I have to go earn my living. "Remember to help me ask Dr Fritz about the wart removal!" screams Rosalina as I walk past the mechanical parrot. "Only when you get an appointment!" I reply. I remember how Ton Ton foretold that a fly will irritate my day at Maria's souvenir shop and offices of Dr Fritz, in my father's old butcher shop front. How true indeed. Well, it wasn't exactly a fly, but my souvenir cloth doll kept irritating me the whole time at the shop. "I swear it keeps staring at me. Stop staring at me you doll!" The phone rings. I pick up. "Mushi mushi." "Si." "Si." That was God. He tells me to stop scolding the doll and find solace in Him. I was getting bored as no one walked into my souvenir shop, the souvenir shop of Maria, and the offices of Dr Fritz. I began knitting. I love knitting. Its no matter I haven't been able to buy any wool. I go sharpen the huge butcher knives. Stroke by stoke I sharpen the knives. I realised I haven't eaten all day and decide to leave the shop. I put down my knitting needles and walk out. I go to Kun Pao Chinese Restaurant, down the street, for my favourite-test chinese dumpling soup. I see photos on the yellow walls of Ah Kun, as everyone calls the boss, with many celebrities, and I stare at the one with Enrique Iglesias, and I stare and I smile. Its 8 o' clock, and I was getting a little sleepy, so before I feel myself going lococo, I head up the stairs to my home, "Buenos noches." I said to the neighbourhood cat. I open the wooden door, and in my one room flat I immediately plonk myself on the bed, and fall into deep deep sleep. -- Its purposely ungrammatical okay. Booo, I really want to go get ice cream but its starting to RAAIIINNN. bleh. raggedy muse
4:32 PM Me took a pink slip home this morning. Horrible first-day cramps and diahorreaaaaaaaa, has rendered me moaning on the bed, curled up in a featal position, in honest discomfort for the past few hours, trying without much success to read Oscar Wilde's A Picture of Dorian Grey (hey i have read about half!), and ended up falling asleep with 2 bottles of Bao Zai Yun, 2 charcoal pills and Panadol menstrual in my system. And now I'm feeling a whole lot better and still have Econs essay and DEP homework to do. Gah. Here are overdue pics which technology which abhors me haven't permitted to upload all these days. Alas, technology still abhors me. raggedy muse
8:31 PM ![]() With that rickety bumpy-ness of the bus moving on its seemingly not perfectly circular wheels, feeling that rhythmic whirring under your feet, the bustle of its movement causing a surrounding whir, loud yet soothing, enough to mask some random humming. The hot yet oddly cooling blow of the constant wind created by the forward motion of this contraption, not doubt bringing along some dust and grime. A great time to think, for its useless to listen to the mp3 player,the loud whir totally masks any music trying to squirm itself into one's ear drums. And then one realises, how certain images, actions, places, emotions of a certain time, perhaps quite a while a ago, seem so perfectly vivid and clear, so pristine to the point where you can recall the intricate moment of emotion associated. And I wonder, what does this tell me. Perhaps its the same for everyone, these certain memories never seem to wash away. Perhaps I'm just overly romanticising everything. And yet, I made absolutely no conscious effort to commit these moments to memory. Maybe, its purely because its that significant to me. Even now. Perhaps I don't want to ever forget. Perhaps I don't want to ever let go. And I wonder, what will happen, when even the notion, the escapist thoughts, the wishful figments of my imagination, this romanticising, are all dashed, and smashed. That even this un-real source of comfort, of hope, of emotion, is deemed untrue and not longer valid. What else shall be emptied of me. What else shall cause that uncontrollable spasm of loss and sadness at times when I am reminded. What else shall cause my heart to sink to the depths, which it has reached before. I dare not phantom. But it will be an inevitable passing, for these comforts will never come into existence. And the only way it will go, is into oblivion. These threads that I am entwined in, have never been torn apart thoroughly, ever since I first unwittingly stepped upon them. They have only since amassed growth, and remained stagnant. I bear not to see them ripped from me. I need help, I need to acquire some good sense. I need you. But you are never coming back. I need you. Find me soon. Let me find you soon. I love you. I hate you. I love, the notion of your existence. I hate, the mere suggestion of your existence. I love myself. I hate myself for loving and hating you. I love myself. I ache. And I am thoroughly useless with utterly nothing I can do about it. And beneath the loud whir of the moving contraption, I hum an emo tune. raggedy muse
10:36 PM sleep beckons, and i shall answer. soon.(: raggedy muse
1:08 PM Wow. This is my 200th post. A hallmark, a milestone. haha. I'm on Jia Jun's laptop in the midle of the canteen next to the Cremo machine, no i'm not on duty but its apparent many are crazing for that cold delectable treat in a cone. It's raining really heavily now, pouring. And perhaps I should stop listening to emo songs, which are beautiful, but depressing. I'm naturally cheery i school for some reason, perpetual natural high despite piling homework and numerous chunks of script to memorise. Jia Jun sees me as a source of spilling happiness that seemingly affects the people around me. And I am glad that it is so. (: Szus just passed the cremo machne and found his rainbow pencilbox which he has been mournin the loss of. He's happy. Drama people all around, DEP in a while AND WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE FONT.ahh, my script is still really rusty and im gonna diiieee a horrible death. whee. oooh people are starting cremo. dheraj'sfirst attempt at cremo how exciting. drama snrs staring at me cos i have a cone in my mouth and typing away. its an empty broken cone by the way. oh well, the day in a life of school.and i have no idea what hapened to the font. where are ou jiajun?!! raggedy muse
9:00 PM you may never know, that still, i miss you. raggedy muse
7:11 PM I was in a relatively happy mood, I truely was. It is the day after West Side has ended, had a great amount of sleep and slacking. Happy that I managed to record some parts of West Side, but i can't upload it due to international copyright reasons (heh heh, yes Yelyn's announcement is stuck in my head) etc. But I however record stuff such as warms ups and the last prep for our last production. Bird's eye view from the light box. (: Shall upload soon, I'm sure the cast would love to have it. Back to where I started. Ah, yes. I was in a relatively happy mood. That was up until I started reading peoples' blogs, and my mood has been weighed down by seeing how others are so emotionally affected by what's going on around them. Why is it people around are unhappy, dissatisified, find themselves caught up in webs of confusion. And I can't do much to help. And here I am happy and contented. -- On a lighter note, school starts again for us tomorrow, hinting impending over due homework and loads of curriculum to catch up on. And common tests are apparently starting, so I had better start getting into the groove. Gahh. At least we're not falling behind for DEP. Half the class plus teachers were all milling around the theatre. I bet all the drama people miss us like crazy. You just might have been able to hear the sound of crickets last week. Whallie Alvin has alerted me regarding my expressions of affection I mention on this portal that seem to have attracted a certain amount of attention. Haha. Photos coming soon. Tata. raggedy muse
11:53 AM This whole week I have been dressed in all black, running around in cold freezing dark spots and getting blasted by disconcerting gun shots. Yes, it has been theatre week. Waha. Been in DBS Arts Centre for many days, prancing around and clicking light cues. I make those swirly cool funky lights go up and down. Tralala. Been up in the light box with Jinx and sometimes Kamal every show. There are about 180 plus light cues for this production. Which means I have been lidtening to the songs for countless times, rehearsals, run throughs, clean ups and the shows themselves. I think they have effectively all stuck in my head. Its Good Friday today so call time is a little later. Crew always comes way earlier than cast by the way. Heh. 2 down, 3 to go. And everyone, if you're not coming for West Side Story, you are really missing out. (: Toodles. P.S. (SPOILER ALERT) The GUN SHOT at the end is COOL. We are using a .38 revolver blank shot. It is VERY loud. And VERY real. raggedy muse
10:38 AM Tralala. Been a busy packed lovely few days. Friday was Humanes Scholarship interview training, which erm, well, yes. Hopefully I don't screw up on Tuesday. After which a frantic scurry over to LASELLE for BA(hons) Musical Theatre production 'Once On This Island'. Wooooo, *faints* It was sooooo entertaining and energetic and the singers were EXCELLENT. And the little girl Ti Moune was sooo adorable. I WANT THE SOUNDTRACK. GIMME GIMME. We had fun waiting for Lesley's parents to give us a ride home. Dancing, laughing, bitching. I hugged Mark so much to make up for 2 weeks. And I got a piggy back ride! Which was so fun, haven't had that in a looonnnggg time. Sat was West Side Rehearsals the whole day from 10 am to 7 pm, after which I scurried home for a bathe and gobbled down dinner and came back to school to send the SOUTH AFRICAN GIRLS OFF. Homeward bound they are. I felt compelled to go to the workshop to help the crew out and ended up going home at 11 with a number of paint marks all over myself. Me and chu sat on the pavement outside school, singing random musical and disney songs while waiting for her daddy to come. I refused to walk home for the DEAD rat upon the pavement on the way back and LIVE ones running about. In the end Roxanne's parents fetched us both home. How pointless is it using a car to send me from AC back home you have nooo idea. Its quiet and nice and dark and windy in school at night, I really did feel like running round the track. As of now, emotional baggage no longer comes in intense bouts, just a slight wistful-ness. Sometimes its just a little difficult to forget and put down, eh? And at times, that's just the way it goes. And till now, a little missing. p.s. I just realised its April Fools. DON'T PULL SOMETHING DUMB ON ME. I SWEAR. haha. Meeting OG for 'Muse' AC Band Concert in a while. Hurray. |
