Intensity

Mrs Raj - "What's wrong with you Linus...Everytime I go to class, I see with that sad sour face..."
Linus - " Believe me, when Max and Matthew are around, this is my happy face."

Ok, this is probably going to be a short post since I really am not suppose to be blogging now...

Well, it's official, I'm on a crazy schedule. Adeeb, Mervin and I have something big big BIG on Monday so Sec 2s reading my blog ( Are you that bored really? ), be prepared.

Oh yes. APPARENTLY, there was a hugeee fight that happened outside 2G. Result? One boy's head was said to be slammed against the wall. My gosh, there were blood stains on the corridor...So cool so cool. Too bad I didn't get to actually witness it, then I could have blogged about it with great detail.

Word's also going around that our lovely crappy waste-of-time Sports Day is going to be rescheduled. Perfect, another day that's going to be a complete waste of time.

The KC-VS drama thingy-ma-jiggy is really really getting intense. Timing, tone and movement, we have to get those P-E-R-F-E-C-T. As in, split second you talk, I interrupt and it HAS to have that oh-look-so-natural FEEL to it.

And once again, I have a tone problem. I have this annoying habit of allowing my tone/pitch to rise and rise before plunging. Mr Meyer says it's "nononononononono." That can't be good. The worst thing is, when he IS satisfied with it, when I hear myself, I feel retarded. It really sounds fake to me. Oh well, theatre -is- 90% exaggerated melodrama so it does make sense after all.

I absolutely have to perfect the segments I have with Adeeb, which is like 3...I know it's not a lot, but trust me. If we screw up the segment(s), I'll never forgive myself. The repercussions of screwing up are... are...Gosh, I'll seriously never forgive myself.

You know what? I never really did talk about the KC-VS group did I? Well for starters, it consists of 5 VS boys ( duh ) and 5 CHIJ Katong Convent girls ( No, really I'm sure they're guys). The other 4 VS boys are interesting. Adeeb...is...well his character is -so- different from what he is in real life. The other 3 VS Boys are an interesting bunch too. Hansen, Si Cheng and Benjamin seem like decent, wise-cracking, chewmouse-teasing ( well at least Hansen is) trio of guys. Oh, and Hansen has this nice chain around his neck with a ring on it. Just noticed it today while we were rehearsing the first part of the play, specifically -> Meijing's "assessment" line. Looks heavy and kinda awkward though.

Le KC Girls are nice too. Meijing and Charlotte came to our school to deliver a speech. It really was a nice speech and you guys from VS reading my blog ( still reading? I applaud you... Hey! stop smiling, shut up and continue reading) have to admit, Meijing DID manage to keep your attention ( although not in a desirable way). Sophie is super-cute and Sugahigh. I can totally picture her with Hansen. Darryl ( Or Daryl) is to me a quiet, but very nice girl. And Sanam, well she's very cooperative and easy-going. All in all, the 10 of us seem to be working very well together...

Oh oh oh, better blog about this. Adeeb and me were discussing our ending speech and we (read:I) came up with one of the most inane ideas. So we finish our speech, and then suddenly music comes on. Lights flash, disco style and the audience looks around in surprise. Suddenly, girls in skimpy cabaret outfits come out and dance the Cha-Cha ( which seems to be a favourite of Si Cheng ), before going into a Moulin-Rouge style unrestrained pure wild high-kicking, underpants-showing dance.

So we were talking about it in the KC Blackbox ( which by the way is cool. Did you know they have two black boxes in the black box? So, if you were to put the smallest black box into the medium-sized black box, you would have a black box in a black box in a black box!), and I actually did the River Dance / Cabaret crap. And I think, I THINK Benjamin saw me. And he had this "I just saw Linus do a River Dance/Cabaret thingy. WTF WAS I JUST SMOKING?" look on his face. I wish I had taken a picture.

Oh wells, got to go.
