Facial expression vs Body language
Monday, May 26, 2008 @ 9:33 PM
"Keep your friends close..
and your enemies close.."
now this is a hyprocratical statement..
and personal believes should be e 1st priority..
and personal believes should be e 1st priority..
what makes ppl unique is their point of view..
as thats something no 1 can change..
unless its those ppl who r easily bullied -.-
anyway my point is..
since everyone's point of view is different...
why judge it?
we have our own reasons for doing stuff..
like in lab reports...
u can't do the experiment unless u've read e background info..
and u gotta noe wads e instruments and
materials used to do it..
so..
i have my reasons for choosing wad i am choosing today
i have my reasons for doing wad i'm doing today
as well as wad i'm not suppose to do..
so maybe some ppl r more independent then others..
some have their own freedom more
and more priorities...
but not everyone is like that..
understand that..
so stop complaing that u're sacraficing alot
while we have other priorities...
cus that our own damn problem..
anyway...topic change...
the flipside performance is coming up..
6th n 7th june at e esplanade outdoor theatre..
preperations r still under going..
alot of stuff is still needed to be done..
'serious' sector of the 30 min play is already done..
wads left is more of e 'happy' n 'fun' part of e play...
its gonna be e tricky part cus
all of our faces were trained to be emotionless haha..
anyway..
since we're at e topic of 'happy' n 'fun'
i wanna debate bout it...
as well...i'm still not satisfied =/
ok happy has many ways of expressing it....
but like how do we express it?
i find e idea of 'smiling' againts ur own feelings very...wrong..
unless u can do it really well..
cus faking a smile..
n having a real smile is 2 totally diff stuff..
so does a fake smile make others feel that u are happy?
so its alot of
facial expression vs body language..
both are necessary to make an audiance feel e 'energy'
but..faking it would be crap..
just imagine..
u're in a foul mood..
tired..
irritated n agitated..
n u go up on stage n 'SMILE'
e energy would be like shit...
hahahas
i can imagine it all now..
so thats a huge problem..
cus fer flipside..
e 'happy' section is very rythemic..
n enjoy moving to e music..
but i was told that i looked damn fierce -.-
but deep inside i was enjoying e beat..
cus i like have big eyes..
n with a frown its scary...hahahas..
so i tried to smile in another rehearsal..
i could feel it was damn fake..
n others could feel it too..
its uber hard..
cus i tend not to smile alot...
except laughing..
laughing n smiling is different..=/
so i thought..
e only thing i could do was...body language..
still trying to improve though..
face still very stiff...lol
anyway....gotta go do homework!!!
exams are next week...
flipside next week...
costume sample out this thurs...
drum camp this fri - sun..(i think)
wooooo~~
busy busy busy~~
cya!!!!

i cant get it straight...
i get annoyed by ppl so easily...
while its none of my bussiness...
i'm sure it'll pass...

maybe its e stress...
with performances coming up..
school tests..

n a whole lot of catchng up to do..
my course..just in 1 week of missing it..
i find myself very hard to catch up..
extremly hard to catch up..
e stupid subject teacher 'chan brother' is making it worst..
with his lousy teaching skills..
tried to do my homework..
but was totally lost...
i don't wanna waste my 2 weeks holiday going back to sch for extra lessons..

i truly enjoyed performing in it...
working with so many cool people..
knowing all of them better in e process...
really rocks.....down to e core...
this sense of friendship..
e sense of trust n that special connection between all of us...
makes e beat of e drum so much stronger...
it makes e beat of e drum...connect all of us tgt...
it makes e beat of e drum....me..

all 3 nights of Death of a Hero...
was amazing...
something very new n special to me n zingo...
i'm sure everyone would agree with me...
those who watched e performance...
thanks for ur support...
n i hope u all enjoyed it...

but as Death of a Hero passes us...
e memories n lessons learned will never fade..
it will help us in our journey to become stronger...
to become what we vision ourselves to be..

Death Of The Hero!!!
Thursday, May 1, 2008 @ 1:21 AM
HELLO PEOPLE!!!
I AM DAMN TIRED RIGHT NOW!!!!!
lol...
but no......
i still have some energy to blog...haha
(bet u guys dun get e joke =p)
anyways...
rehersal for death of the hero is getting really harsh...
alot of people have been falling sick recently...
I'M 2nD!! n i ain't proud of that -.-
1st was.....i forgot...i know rh told me i was 2nd..
arh...heck it...i'm 1st then...(wth am i saying?? -.-)
(meds r making me crazy ZzZz)
anyways...
monday...we finally moved into e acutal theatre studio..
was shocked to see e stage so small...
was shocked to see e stage so small...
practically there wasn't even a stage...
anyways..
i reached early...
i was suppose to reach at 6? but instead i reached at 12..
some stupid thing happened in sch...
pissed me off..dun wanna blog bout it..
anyway...i reached esplanade just nice to have lunch..
after lunch...
headed backstage to 'decorate' our drums with newspaper...
blah blah blah....
had bout 2 rehearsals that day..
but e last 1 was.....like....f*ck...
in e early afternoon i already felt a sore throat coming around..
but i ignored it...
n during e last rehearsal at bout..11?
i was starting to feel a fever coming around as well..
n during a scene...where we were to crawl like monsters..
to e centre of e stage...
(i hope belson reads this n feel so bad..
that he turns emo n cut himself!!! MUAHAHA.....
but no....i really noe its nt ur fault :D)
belson accidently kicked me real hard on my right elbow..
well...yea..its hurt like hell at that moment..
i was practically limping?
(cus my monster was by right to have 4 legs -.-)
endured e pain fer e whole remaining show..
after e show....ben was giving a debrief..
it was there...i started to feel e fever kicking in real hard..
soon after....i went back stage...
sat on e chair..
tears started rolling..
heart started pumping..
arms n legs numb..
n tah-dah~~
i was hyperventilating~~
its was really scary...
i can't even really recall wad happened...
it sucked big time tats fer sure..
(thanks to all those who were calming me down during that moment..)
trey then sent me to e hospital..
aduvue(edvwin tay LOL!!) n DJW followed me to raffles hospital..
mom came shortly..
oh ya.....n i hyperventilated cus of e shock of pain
belson gave me in that kick =p..
(feeling bad nw belson???XDDD nvm i have my revenge =p)
'can u don't be so belson??????'
(inside joke..)
got M.C. till friday....
fever is gone now...e cough is still around though..
tmr...well...since its like already 1.37 am..
TODAY...
is e opening night of....
'DEATH OF A HERO!!!'
*claps claps claps claps claps!!!!!*
do show ur support eh...
we zingo...n everyone part of this play..
went through alot tgt just fer this performence..
(thats hw i feel anyway...)
so do show ur support!! =D
strength..and weaknesses..
everyone has both on each ends..
what makes us different in that way?
some have more strength then their weakness...
some equally high...
some r just weak..n stupid..
but somehow...
a group of ppl can make e entire strength..
way greater then its weaknesses..
e annoying part is..
sometimes..e stronger just keep getting stronger..
while e weak..keeps getting pushed away...n getting weaker..
so who determines e strong?
its all really..who makes e strongest impression 1st..
cus if ur 1st impression is weak...u can forget it..
no point saying..
'aiya..i was nt prepared just nw'
we cant take back our words..
nothing can..
but do we even realise wad comes out of our mouths?
its hard..
seriously for me though..
i'm always so careless with my words..or wad i speak..
i admit my jokes can be crude most of e times..
n its selfish cus its at my own benefit of laughter..
i enjoy fun...
i enjoy crapping..
i love joking n fooling around...
but can it last?
i fear of that...
'Death of a Hero'
i put in alot for it..
to some it maybe just a play or wad so eva...
but to me...heck it if i'm sick...i'll still perform..
i want this to work..
for me n everyone else..
this learning journey...was amazing..
met so many interesting ppl..
so many cool stretching exercises..
it exposed me to 'ART'
n i enjoy it..alot..
its getting late....n there is a big performance right ahead...
i will be giving 200% of all i have for it..
i am proud to be part of Death of a Hero~
