Teacher's Day was okay I guess. The performance wasn't stellar, but oh well. You take some, you give some. The silhouette game was quite hilarious, and the Heroes vs. Zeros game, even more so. Chair racing to the center of the hall; Mrs. Rosie Smith and Mrs. Albar went to uh, stall the Zeros' progress because they were winning ahahaha. And the quiz round was quite retarded too; obviously the Zeros won right! But since it's Teacher's (I mean Heroes') Day, must let the Heroes win, no? So they won. >_>
Then play soccer until 11.30, so sian luh. After that go to the gymnasium play table tennis :DD My serving improved! And so did my chopping woohoo. Table tennis ftw. And for some reason Cal preferred to play table tennis more than go see our friends, so blah I left first. Went to Kai's house to just slack off; who was there? Oh right. Ying, Kai, Joey, Sal, Ruifee, Xin Xuan, Darrell, Sherm, Kang, Cal, Brandon, Dom, me. Yeap. Watch like, 3 movies..? And play table tennis (yes, more table tennis) on Kai's tiny table lol. Can't complain though; it's great for chopping hahahhaha. KAI'S DOGS ARE DAMN NEAT :DD
And Superheroes Movie is totally retarded; it's like, way above our heads in terms of sickness, and it's rated 'G' what the hell! Legally Blonde is also almost totally retarded, although it at the very least, has a proper storyline behind it. Go watch ahahahhaha. Your eyes will be scarred for the rest of your life, if I may quote Ruifee. Hee. And they were watching Love Actually (which is R21, by the way) while we were playing more table tennis. Ahahaha. I can't get over Kai's dogs, they're dam cool lol. Maybe that's not the right word for them. Lol, whatever.
And then I went home; so boliao luh, today! Tomorrow, piano in the morning, then going to church to study/mug/revise/prepare/whatever.
On a side note,
THERE WAS THIS FREAKING HUGE MOTH IN THE ROOM JUST NOW. UGH.

PARODY NIGHT WAS THE BEST EVER.
At like 1.30, we went and stoned in the library trying to do ERP but failing, then at 3.30 we played soccer. Deep was being a retard with black shoes and Suwe's prefect badge. And then at 4.30 Zydney came and screamed at us for not doing anything. Then we all rushed off for the technical rehearsal, then warmups. HURDLING OVER CHAIRS. We added a really great epilogue. It totally rocks luh! Shein did some touching up on the more technical areas haha. ZACK IS A SISSY CRACKPOT.
Briefing in LT1, then dinner, and then we went into LT3 for some more voice projection stuff and AN EMO PEP TALK. We were all really very stressed. Zydney was doing math problems to chill haha. Then we got ready. My costume was really gay though, although it didn't really have the desired effect. And then, it was time. The culmination of all our hard work for the past week. The moment of truth.
Okay. Just before our play, we were all really really freaked out, muttering to ourselves, getting worried over nothing. I said a prayer, hoping that we'd do great and that we'd most importantly, have fun. And then we were on. The audience laughed at all the right parts, although there were a COUPLE of screw ups, especially the part where Trelawney dropped it's shawl, and when I slapped Trelawney's glasses off, OUCH. But everybody loved it, they laughed and clapped and I'm sure we all felt really really proud of ourselves to see the effect we had. Most notably, the epilogue was a blast. Everybody got the subtle other thing we inadvertently parodied: my attitude last year. And it made me feel really really happy, until I was nearly bursting out with laughter. But thank goodness I didn't until we finished. I love acting. Zac and Deep said I acted really well. Couldn't have done it without you guys (:
And I think acting is like drugs. Just before a play, you feel like crap, you feel like freaking out and running away. But after everything is over, YOU FEEL GREAT. Like, I felt really high I just started shouting for nothing. Totally nothing. OH MAN. I LOVE THAT FEELING. So I went to find Michael, took a couple of pictures of my GHEY COSTUME. And then went to watch the remaining two plays. The fourth play was absolutely dumb, I really don't think anybody got the meaning. And the fifth was totally obscene! OBSCENE OBSCENE OBSCENE. M18, totally.
Just before the announcement of the results, I, for some reason I can't place, felt really really nervous. Heh. In 5th place, Macbeth: We're Loving It! In 4th place, Lear Uncut. In 3rd place, "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. In 2nd, Macbluff. And in 1st, Shakespeare's World. Okay, so maybe it wasn't what I was expecting. I'd hoped for 2nd, I really did. But 3rd is good enough, 90% for the project, 18.9 marks onto our EOY score immediately. A few comments by the judges on our performance: The pacing was too slow; a parody/comedy is supposed to be rapid, fast. Ours was too draggy; the gaps were too big. And also, we didn't have a really clear-cut theme for the judges too see, which is very important. I guess we should have downplayed the rest in favor of the theme of 'fate'. But our acting was really good, according to Mr. Sonny Lim, and overall, we did quite well.
A nice little certificate and tidbits for 3rd placing; that doesn't really matter, as long as we had fun. That was reward in itself. Group picture! (I don't have it now, I'll post it sometime soon haha) And then we all went our own ways; took a taxi back home with Wen Zheng. I was like totally exhausted.
Apparently, we lost to Michael's group by 27 points, and Michael lost to Shayne by like, 37 points. Taking into account that these scores were out of a possible 900, it's such a small gap. But it was a job really well done. Of course, we scored less on pacing and themes, but our acting was supposedly the highest scoring. Audience response was not particularly outstanding, although that's partly because nobody having seen our play, there wasn't anything to expect from it. But argh, I'm so jealous! We won't get to perform for the Literature Seminar. Haiz. Only the top 2 teams. Oh well. I'm looking forward to the seminar anyway.
A couple of acknowledgments seem apt:
Firstly, to Ms. Jennifer Koh, for being our really really supportive Lit teacher.
Secondly, to my group mates, for being such sports; enduring all my rubbish, and sticking with the play till the very very end.
Next, to my class mates from this year and last year, for supporting us throughout the course of the project.
And last, but most definitely not the least, to my friends, especially Rachel, who stood by me when I was down, who felt happy for me when I enjoyed the play.
Somehow, I feel like there's something missing from me. This play changed from being just a simple lit project the second we started getting into it, and it changed into a pastime, a fun thing to do once we got into parody night. And it was just like a snowball rolling down a hill; getting bigger and faster the longer it went on. But now, it's all over. Something tells me I should be feeling relieved, that no more rehearsals and memorizing are going to happen. But yet, I feel so inadequate without those things. I really, really love acting. The hard work is tough, yes, but the payoffs are so great. The prize is just a bonus. Seeing the laughter in your audience's eyes, the wonder at the immaculately written script, the clapping and cheers at the end of a performance. That makes it all worthwhile, and I love it.

Today was oh-so-screwed up lol. The batch forum was such a waste of time; only the Indian scholar understood the question, "What are your bad traits?" The other deaf people apparently thought the question was, " What are your aims?" Really. If you want to be a prefect, you have to learn how to LISTEN right! And most of their campaigns include them being caring and having a listening ear. IF that's the case, I'd rather they not become prefects -.- They'd listen wrongly and get us all in trouble.
Heh.
And the literature parody rehearsal was a bloody WASTE OF MY TIME PLEASE. Nobody took it seriously, so many parts weren't confirmed. And all that crap. I have a bad feeling about this hmm. Biology seems okay, though. BECAUSE INSTEAD OF REHEARSING, THEY WERE HAVING BIO TUTORIAL. WTHECK.
At least I've calmed down a bit now. I was so tired I fell asleep on the bus and went all the way to Changi Village what the zzz. Debates tomorrow, we're so going to trash Jasdeep's team. They have totally no case! Hehe. Dies you alls.
And just a short mention. Good luck to everyone taking their exams soon, especially Rach, Yi Ying, Clarice, Daniel, Elaine and everyone else with O's this year. All the best :DD
Okay time to touch up the debate for tomorrow. Ta, back later.
Heh.

THREE MORE DAYS TO PARODY NIGHT! I need to mugmugmug my lines whee. And learn how to fake crying! LOL.
And it's just too bad that Rach can't make it D: Oh well heehee. Don't need her to see me look like a total madman, albeit a Shakespearean madman. HAHAHHAHAHAA.
Tomorrow's the first rehearsal using the new script and the new sound and everything, WE MUST DO THIS RIGHT OKAY GUYS. I want my 100% =S hehe.
And training today was great, really really fun. And so few people went!
My math was, I don't know, really really up/down. I mean, I know I aced angles of circles, BUT I SCREWED UP MOST OF THE REST! So minimum 11/30, maximum 20/30. I hope it's nearer the maximum, my math can't afford to drop any lower than it already is. DOUBLE WEIGHTAGE YOU KNOW.
And I want to cry, I didn't get into PSL appeal either. I hate this.

Woohoo. The Literature Parody was great! :DD
I forgot a couple of lines, and I was freaking out quite a bit, but OH WELL. I managed to improvise, and in the end, it went all right haha. At least the audience caught on to the humour we used and laughed when they were supposed to heh. And although the stage directions were screwy and everything, we still managed to pull through and did quite okay after all.
My costume was really really the best hahahahha. I mean, black leather shoes, longlonglong socks, a long sleeved white shirt, and to top it all off, TIGHTS. How Shakespearean can you get! But it was a great laugh, and it seriously was damn funny.
Before the play actually started, we were all like really excited. I guess haha. It's another way of saying worked up. But ohwell, everyone memorised their own lines, we managed to include a couple of cool extra stuff like music and all. So I guess it was smooth sailing. We rehearsed a couple of times before the actual play, where Zyd got so freaked that he threw his "wand" at nowhere in particular and somehow, it hit Zac full in the face. Hmm. Can't really blame him, I was getting really jumpy too.
Then the real thing happened. It went all right, like I've said a couple of times before. The humour was there, the cues were mostly picked up and followed, and it really went quite well, except for the time when it was supposed to be Zydney laying out the trays and he forgot and everything. But that was really minor. And the ending was quite quite awkward haha, because of the epilogue: I still maintain it's a bit out-of-place heh. But the comments from Mrs. Seow were okay, just that we should have brought out the theme of "fate and destiny" a bit earlier. Otherwise it was actually quite good. All we need to do to touch up (and I do hope we get into Parody Night), is to clean up the ending, work out the Pink Panther music, and get stage directions worked out. Ha!
Barghav actually complimented me on my acting (: Shien was really great too, although I think on my part, it was the costume that swung it my way hehe. The script overall was really nice after the final touching up.
*CROSSES FINGERS* I hope we get into Parody Night, I really do haha. It's so fun!
Let's see, I think a couple of choice quotes from the script would be suitable here:
Narrator (Me): And look over here, you're short and curvy, people might mistake you for a girl!
Lady M (Zac): But I'm not curvy!
Narrator: You're short, and that's enough. *BIG DRAMATIC PAUSE TO LET IRONY SINK IN*.
LOL. That was seriously damn funny luh! And Scene Three rocked. Where Deep was supposed to kill Macbeth, and he was pretending to be a tree, and he was sneaking up behind Wendy, and the Pink Panther music was playing. Ahahahahahhahaha classic.
Oh well. I guess being a bit nervous before the play actually did some good. Helped me to think quickly enough to improvise when I forgot my part haha. And after the thing Wendy pangseied me. And I had to go home in the tights because I didn't have time to change rawr. They feel weird. Haha.
I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES OMGOMGOMG HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN?!?!?! I don't care; if we get into Parody Night I'm going to take billions and billions of pictures. I swear. Or else my name's not Shakespeare. Hee.
Please let us get into parody night!!! Quoting Deep, "Good one guys, I think we all did our best and it turned out quite good from people's comments. Hopefully we'll get into parody night (Yes please!). If we do, let's continue the good work and do even better then. If not, never mind. We did out best." I totally agree man.
And thanks for the good luck wishes from Rach, Yi Ying and Clarice haha. It turned out great YES. I'm still feeling high.
I love our parody <3

Narrator (Me): And look over here, you're short and curvy, people might mistake you for a girl!
Lady M (Zac): But I'm not curvy!
Narrator: You're short, and that's enough. *BIG DRAMATIC PAUSE TO LET IRONY SINK IN*.
LOL. That was seriously damn funny luh! And Scene Three rocked. Where Deep was supposed to kill Macbeth, and he was pretending to be a tree, and he was sneaking up behind Wendy, and the Pink Panther music was playing. Ahahahahahhahaha classic.
Oh well. I guess being a bit nervous before the play actually did some good. Helped me to think quickly enough to improvise when I forgot my part haha. And after the thing Wendy pangseied me. And I had to go home in the tights because I didn't have time to change rawr. They feel weird. Haha.
I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES OMGOMGOMG HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN?!?!?! I don't care; if we get into Parody Night I'm going to take billions and billions of pictures. I swear. Or else my name's not Shakespeare. Hee.
Please let us get into parody night!!! Quoting Deep, "Good one guys, I think we all did our best and it turned out quite good from people's comments. Hopefully we'll get into parody night (Yes please!). If we do, let's continue the good work and do even better then. If not, never mind. We did out best." I totally agree man.
And thanks for the good luck wishes from Rach, Yi Ying and Clarice haha. It turned out great YES. I'm still feeling high.
I love our parody <3
