Inventio is in 2 days.

time passes by so quickly. in july, the DEP alevels. in may, theasthai and syf . april, pride and prejudice. march, south africa. february, night of laughter. it's been three quarters of a year, and everything feels as it it were done weeks ago. i remember how nervous i felt during NOL, how amazed i was in south africa, the adrenaline rush during P&P, the jitteryness of theasthai and syf, and the support while performing at the alevels.

if there was an adjective to describe inventio, i think i'd use the word companionship. these five people i've worked with over the past month or so have been amazing. from stressing about what this gs was going to be about to nearly killing each other on stage pushing and pulling, i think we've bonded together really well(: i don't think i'd ask for another group of people to do inventio or even my alevels with(: so let's all get A for inventio!

and yes, welcome back breanna! thanks for the insane amount of sugar you've given me(:

hello all, hello my thai friend! :D

yes, so GS is done!! as in the shape and concept, that is. we still need to improve on our precision and transition 2 though. but well done guys:D we're gonna be spectacular! breanna there's a ticket for inventio on the 2nd september waiting for you when you get back, courtesy of the neighbour and sister, if you want one more for any particular reason, tag my blog yes? or tell me when you get back(:

right, so i will not spoil the bus stop any more.

today wasn't my day. was late for comm meeting because of change of plans in the morning, screwed up my math test, had econs tutorial, had a meeting after school, and was feeling on edge the whole morning basically. excuse me if i offended anyone today, it just wasn't my day. BUT, today was a good day, because we got our GS down and nicely set at 25 mins, i had a very amusing pw lesson, and i'm going to sleep in 20 mins time, WHICH IS ELEVEN O'CLOCK:D

"And what of Troy? What of Troy?" just imagine(:

I've written my speech and drama speech 13 days before the exam. congratulations to me.

I apologize for the demonic thumping sound coming from your speakers.
it's a dirt bike game, which is ridiculously hard to play, and i put it there for some quick relief.

GS is moving along, WE GOT OUR SCRIPT! so very good, we're starting to get blocking down and today's a headache because i have to churn out the new soundscapes. speech and drama exams are two days after inventio, so i am seriously screwed because i haven't memorised ANYTHING, well fine, half memorised stuff. and i haven't written my speech, but i figure i'm just going to bullcrap my way through either the stanislavskian method of acting-naturalist theatre, or the brechtian theatre convention.

i shall memorise three out of four pieces tonight! and do the soundscape.

thanks vinesh, that's stuck in my head.

so that week was over, the most stressful and the most anticipated one of the third term. Had the Day I Met the Prince on saturday, which was rather good, i could feel the magic as a performer(: ensemble was tight, no one majorly forgot their lines. Thanks seniors for coming, thank you grace, esther, daddy, bre, amos, josh for coming(: i come out, see you people and i'm like "whoa. that was scary!" but thanks for the support!

sunday, tapestry. there were so many brainfart moments it wasn't funny. but i guess overall, i think we did really good(: considering we didn't suddenly drop dead in the middle of the dance floor. hahaha thank you all for coming again!!

and we managed to watch Yellow Monkey on saturday night after Prince. fantastic movements, heightened, natural, but ritualised, realist to surrealist. about a man on drugs, rapes a girl, sees his problems at home, goes into side effects, trembles, all five of them, grey structure moves forward, blackout. haha sorry, that was an attempt to remind myself so i can use it for GS(:

okay, here's to my first free night in a while.

There was a cheer in my body as i finished econnect today.

so that was the last of the work to be done this week, or rather, by tuesday. chinese, drama, gp and all, and you feel accomplished after finishing all that work, and living to tell the tale. well, this week's only just beginning, and from tomorrow til sunday i don't get home till 11pm.

tapestry suddenly got fun again, i think it had to do with the costumes. though i look like 3in1 colgate toothpaste. vivocity, 4.45pm guys, not 3.

and things are just coming along nicely(:

what's the difference between a punching bag and me at this time? if you give a slight push to the punching bag, it goes down and bounces back up. i stay down.

i think the medicine i'm taking retains the phlegm in my body, then works on killing the bacteria there. thing is, it makes the intake of air extremely difficult. and attempting to take in truckloads of air while dancing made me dizzy. so i got extremely winded after TWO runs of the whole dance.

anyway. i know this again is cheap advertising, but then hey, who's gonna see this but four people?

Day I Met The Prince
16th September

Tapestry
17th September

i can't remember dates and times, but if you want to go, msg me and i'll find out for you(:
now, it's to garageband to fix that soundscape.

emo nemo. haha isn't that right bre?

this stupid flu/cold/bronchitis thing looks like it's clearing up, and the frequency of coughing out bundles of phlegm is reduced much. which is rather good, because then i won't garner looks from people whenever i blow my nose to get rid of the clogged up fluid trapped there.

gs last night was headachey, but productive, in a way. in any case, we're clear of the main storyboard, but the scripting is the thing that's trapping us now. for that matter:

inventio
2nd september

a reminder that out there somewhere, there are people waiting to get you.

i don't think i'm the only one feeling it though, but that was a timely reminder that if your weak point shows, a touch to that affects you. i was at the dentist yesterday and well, because of this cold/flu thingy, my gums got a bit infected. when she was cleaning my teeth, a mere touch to the gum got me wincing in pain.

maybe this is why i try so hard to be good at everything, to win all the time, so that no one faults me for doing badly and hits that weak point. it's only coming in full force when this year started after what happened last year. add that to my already overpowering D personality, and i don't want to see what's going to happen to me in the near future.

so hello, the five of you. you've got a golden ticket.
