Ong Teng Cheong

It's finally over! I never thought I would be this happy ever again! This few months of rehearsals, the exceptionally hectic schedule of the last two weeks, ongoing class tests, the Project's Day Competition, my piano exams...... One could easily die from stress, not me, but "one".

The performance was actually a biography on our respected alumni cum ex-president, Mr Ong Teng Cheong. We had 5 one and a half hour performances to make, one for each day! Yeah, I am not complaining or what, but due to my usual unenthusiatic-ness in my CCA, I sort found it rather a waste of time for the rehearsals. I had to sit through a full rehearsal when I only come out for one/two scenes, which wasn't great - I had so much to do then, it was busy and crazy, those days.

But, I have to say, it was rather fun too. Despite my society's usual activities not really suiting my taste making up was rather fun. My friend and I were supposed to make-up for the actors. Turns out that he truly screwed up that everyone was reluctant to let him do the job. Jokes were cracked, the ones that REALLY bird (means the insult in a sarcastic manner, meant as a joke) people, which really brought us together.

The teachers, well, were having yeah.... lots of "fun" making up too, especially one of them, I won't mention her name though. She was particularly enthusiatic and on the last day, she pulled a few of us, (me, Shien Yang and Zhi Hao) to draw eyeshadows and eye lining, which was unnecessary for us calefe. As a result, I had erm... exceptionaly red eyeshadow, making me look like a opera singer. Plus the hairstyle the teacher styled for me. I kinda, you know, find it fashionble during the 80's. All in all, it made me look weird, weird, weird!

Now that it is all over, I am super happy and it took me a while to realize that I finally have nothing to do! Suddenly, I realized too that the Sec 4s are leaving. Not a bad thing, I don't think I like them much, which is ironic. I read a blog from a friend in Saint Nicholas'. They were actually extremely sad that the Sec 4s were leaving. But frankly, when our Sec 4s leave, I don't really care...

You still owe me a book entitled "Nineteen Minutes" by an excellent author with exceptional writing skills, has an eye for every precise detail and sensitivity to the world's happenings. Her name is Jodi Picoult! You lost my book.

Oops, shao random...

"That feeling would most likely be temporary... Believe me... It was like this too last year... " Quoted from Shien Yang's blog, I think that ur mindset is wrong, just like you said 人格问题, it changes from other people. Anyway, I enthu huagang since last year's performance. I enjoyed the atmosphere of huagang that is "Phan"ny and lame. U seemed to enjoy the last show right?

I hope that u can enthu huagang until next year camp la, so sec 1 and 2 will vote u lo....

Mamak stall rocks!

zhi hao, i think you misunderstood my meaning! (Most probably due to the "language barrier" hippo was mentioning...lol not niao ar...)

I meant that yes, I enjoyed the whole experience. Until now, I'm still happy. But what I meant by temporary is once huagang starts out next year with biandao huo dong, I will start slumping back into my former self due to the sien-ness.
