I stumbled upon a girl's blog. she acted in this year's KE7 hallplay (we call ours hall production haha), and she blogged:

"Though I only appear in 4 of the 12 scenes, people tell me that I stole the limelight from the lead and everyone, even those that didn't know me, were damn sad that I died early. Once I came out from backstage, I was immediately swamped by friends and hall people who came to congratulate me on a great performance. Yes, ego trip indeed. Plus I got the largest bouquet of flowers compared to the rest of the cast! Wahaha!"

OKAY. i think i'm supposed to feel jealous of something. people never give me big bouquet loh. they only ask if i'm really from china. and i couldn't manage to steal the limelight :( cos sebby did it first by doing his eh yandao thing. don't even need to show face!

WHAT A SHARON!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy new year! Gong xi fa cai! time to get fat!!

This year's chinese new year coincides with mid-sem break coincides with studying time for 4 mid-term tests so it's very sad... can't even eat bah kwa in peace!! had to go back hall to mug on chu san (third day of chinese new year). how xian is that man.

Andand i realised that after all these years (20 in all), the nominal value of my standard angbao money is still $4 despite inflation (where the money supply increases and the LM curve shifts to the right and income increases), so the real value of angbaos has dropped. i think i'll be very poor this year so my autonomous consumption and investment should fall so that the IS curve will shift to the left. but this will not affect interest rate because maybe the LM curve is horizontal.

Actually i dunno what i'm talking about. i need to read chapter 4 again.

I wanted to post photos but i'm lazy and i need to read chapter 5 6 7 plus half of the international econs textbook which i didn't buy. ok.

PS. A few nights before cny, i was on my way downstairs to mug when a big group of YEP people stormed in and claimed that they are going Cambodia to save the lives of the starving kids. *snorts* hello i think you mean you are going there to build a room which they can build faster by themselves hahaha... but anyway what a chaos!!! they were trying to offer cleaning services to raise money for their trip. everyone was talking at the same time and i couldn't really hear what they were saying hahaha but it was funny... i kept hearing people randomly shouting xiaowei! chinagirl! we paid to watch production so you must support us also!! i felt so pressurized so i asked chengyow to pay them. hahhaa until now i haven't paid him back. i owe money over new year!! dieeeeeeeeee. desiree refused to lend me money cos it was cny :(

Anyway, the point is... they looked like they're having so much fun that i wanna join yep too. haha even though i never believed in such overseas trips to "improve the lives of the poor village people" cos i think we're more of a liability to them. i felt that the money spent on the trip could be put to greater use. but i guess the trip serves a purpose of spreading joy and laughter to the villagers. so if i go i cannot be bitchy haha.

Ohoh and i also wondered how they "pick" village. is there like a "standard" place that singaporeans go all the time? or do the villagers "apply" for help?

Sad sads.... :'(

Boohoo.

Haiya. i'm telling you ah, it's really hard maintaining a long distance relationship. in fact, it sucks! cos you almost completely dunno what's going on with the other person, and it's really hard to communicate effectively. it's only good for people who are attached but wants to live a single's life. i feel very single wahaha.

But i'm not! anuja says i'm pseudo single. on vday i am allowed to hang around the real singles. it's fun :)

Aiya. what to do. rarrrrrr. i remember every time pearline feels sad cos of teckie, she'll tell me it's ok, compromising is the most essential thing in a relationship. pearline is so sensible. i can be be sensible too!! cos i also always tell myself it's ok. it's ok. it's ok. it's ok.

IT'S OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):)

Happy valentine's day!

Or how lishi would put it, happy Singles Awareness Day! where most singles would mumble and grumble how v day is merely a cheap gimmick for various enterprises to extort more money from us. heh. but i do like v day... cos i get flowers and chocolates and fruit tart and sweet love notes. heehee. the block guys stayed up till morning to bake brownies for us! gahhhh sooooo sweeeeeet it's one of the sweetest thing EVER. they even gave us each a rose and a love note.

"They are too nicee!! too nicee!!!"-xiaowei.

The world has changed. boys are now baking brownies for girls instead of the other way round. i think it's a good change though, since i dunno how to bake any.

And i feel a little sad.... that my special someone is not here with me :( wells.... but his flowers are here -- handwritten and hand wrapped by dilys hehe. at least he contributed to the flag fund. had a small unhappy conversation in the afternoon. but i told myself it's ok and i'm happy again. maybe that's how it all starts. by pyschoing myself that it's ok all the time.

I hope i'm ok.

But today was made good by sunny tina agyesh albert lish and nooj with our fried food-strawberries-ice cream-beer binge and conversations revolving around agyesh's obsession with dogs. i'm really grateful to have these people around to include me as a honorary singles club member :) yay!

I think i'm selfish. i think we're all selfish in our own way but i hate it when i know i'm being a fishmonger. i was happy when i heard the news but i can't help but feel a teeny bit disappointed. ok maybe a little more than a teeny bit when i heard the news from someone else and not you. he told me much more things that i ever found out from you about you. hmmm. perhaps cos i don't have production anymore, i have way much more time to feel selfish. boohoo i can't live in that four-room two-storey laalaaland forever.

Jinling is a fishmonger :( i hate feeling like this.
LingS | 9:32 PM

Aiyo tat says i'm so bitchy. hmmph. it's true!!!! i need to reflect upon myself and stop being so bitchy.

So hall production has finally come to an end. it has been a long and crazy ride, but i felt like i've completed so much more in these 3 months than in a usual semester. i couldn't focus my attention on anything else except production lines, production songs, production schedules.... production everything. production has screwed up my life. my laundry was undone, floor uncleaned, assignments uncompleted, readings unread... i couldn't even manage to take my medication on time haha...

And people ask me if it's worth it. i question myself a lot too. i've given up so much to do this, be it studying time, resting time, time with friends, even my health etcetc... all this for a single hall production.

But i didn't do this for the "glory of the hall" or anything like that. i did it for myself. because i wanted to, not because others asked me to or because they need people. i think that's how it should be like in hall. we all wanna do so many things at the same time, how do we have space to squeeze in additional things that OTHERS want us to do for them?

After dedicating my entire heart and soul into production, it was really heartening to have people coming up to tell me how much they've enjoyed the performance, and that they really liked my song etc... it made me feel that all the blood and sweat was worth it :)

Thank you everyone who came :) jian alvin (i think that's his name) bra wheegeok vivien charlotte yb and the E block people specially des dil porky lish tina yow albert etc. your support meant a lot to me :D especially during the last few days when i was feeling super sick and shitty... the familiar faces in the audience drove me on. xie xie da jia :D thank you everyone and everything else who/which made this possible. thank you the force above.

Whew! i've never felt so drained and tired in my entire life. rag dance was only half as taxing as this. one whole week of being sick and skipping lessons and camping in the theatre. i felt like fainting in fong seng on friday night. in my half conscious state i took jojojoel's (the one who taught me how to sing) vroom vroom and totally humiliated myself by screaming at him arghhhhhhhh i wanna dig a hole a bury myself inside now. in addition to singing off key in his face i now feel a little more paiseh when i see him now. yarghhhhh.

Ok at least i don't have to see him everyday now. i'm glad production is over. i feel so relieved, like i can finally put down this huge burden. i feel a bit sad too, but i'm not emotional about it (like aeron who cried haha). i'll miss the random shit the cast and ensemble come up with everyday. i'll miss suffy's diva director antics, bryna's cheeriness, nat's auntiness, the munchkins' cuteness, joel shouting his ass off at our singing, tim's forever smiling face, even the rambutans' diva-ness... ahhaha...

Yay. i'll try to put up photos soon. :)
LingS | 4:49 PM

Hello! i'm sick at home 2 days before the big show. muahahaha. i've got an official letter to excuse myself from lessons for rehearsals which i didn't turn up for.... cos i'm sleeping at home. slurpss!

Yesterday we went to REDS at clarke quay for a haircut. totally FREEEEEEE! it was sponsored for production. they only sniped a bit of hair and cut my fringe short. can't really see much difference. the funny thing was they asked us to wash our hair first before coming... aiyer... and after finished cutting my hair, she didn't even bother to remove the plastic cloth thingy wrapped around me before going off to another customer ok. i had sit around wondering whether she's done or not, afterwards deciding to remove it myself while spilling hair all over. even though we're not paying, cannot do properly meh... cheh. aiya. nevermind. since it's free i shall not complain too much.

We got to pick clothes and accessories from HULA N CO. at far east too! goody good! shopping for free! i like! but we've got quite a big ensemble this time so each of us only got to pick one set haha! the bulk of their dresses are vintage-looking. ie baggy long sleeves, low cut, thick belt, funny flowery prints. ie clothes that don't fit me. nevertheless it had been fun browsing and looking at the others try them, though i wished i didn't have to be sneezing my head off all the while.

I think i'm allegic to the YIH clinic. my body must have some sort of reaction to it. somehow my temperature always reaches it's peak when i'm there. maybe the slow-moving queue makes my blood boil. i wasn't feeling too bad until i took my temperature which reads 39.4 which scared the receptionist who gave me a fugly mask to wear which made me feel all sad and anti-social cos no one loves The Girl In The Mask.

Trailer is updated!

Here's a feature on youth.sg.

The vocal director says my song has improved! YAY i'm so glad. i hope it's now "good" and not just "fine". anuja says i sing beyoooootifully. that sacarstic bitch.

I have been instructed to sell 15 tickets to people outside hall. but i decided that i don't have 15 friends since i moved into hall. so if you're just randoming reading this, you could come.

So far blue's clue and yb and bra and (: have confirmed that they're coming yay! at least i have 4 friends!!!

Oh and i cleaned my floor and changed my bedsheets. what an accomplishment! whew! my typical day starts with classes in the morning, come back for a nap, eat dinner, go for rehearsals till 2am then sleep then wake up at 7am again. i might have a little time between "come back for a nap" and "eating dinner" for doing some household chores like cleaning the floor and folding clothes.

Cool. so now i'm not sure if i'm really an undergraduate anymore. but i'm happy! i love the hustle and bustle. i'm happier than those who scorn upon me and claim that they wanna devote all their time to studying. like, whatever. you have no idea how much you've missed out. even though i graduate with mediocre grades, i already have a thick portfolio. you graduate with mediocre grades anyway.

Pooh!
