The ties that bind
Speech and Drama continues to be my main activity in Millennia Institute. The society won Gold at SYF last year, so we have a lot to live up to. Last tuesday the cast of Teochew Porridge went back to NAFA to attend a workshop on the Alexander Technique. Frankly I thought it was quite useless, individual tutoring would have helped out more. Anyway, the NAFA students were gregarious and friendly so much so that we got together and played ice-breaker games just for the heck of it. And yet again, we made fun of Nithiya's fear of the dark. We made her stand in the centre of the Black Box and turned off the lights. She did that panick thing for a minute and everyone was rolling on the floor laughing! There was this interesting girl from China. She had the most eye catching fashion sense; Straight fringe but an 'afro' at the back, long fingernails painted pink, gold sequinced sneakers, and baggy pants that had too many pockets. After the whole affair, we ate at the Kopitiam outside NAFA again for the umpteenth time in a row. Me and Joel ordered the same thing; Lamb Chop and Milo Dinosaur and the rest just ordered drinks. I thought the taste was a bit...odd, but I haven't sunken my teeth into any form of steak that I relished every bite *drool* When we were trying to catch a cab to go home there was this freaking eccentric woman. She went "WHERE ARE YOU GOING? THIS PLACE NO MORE BUS AFTER 10 PM! I KNOW, I LIVE HERE FOR TEN YEARS! YOU HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO SIM LIM SQUARE TO GET A TAXI!!" and we very cautiously walked away... Student Leadership Experience! I have two nominations from teachers, and five or six from my peers. I don't know if that's enough...but I'll be damned and disappointed if I can't get it. Wednesday we went toTheatreWorks at Fort Canning for our Play Production workshop. The Black Box there was kinda small, but that's just because I'm too used to the one at NAFA. It was cool knowing all the lighting stuff and all. I realise now that it's not as complicated as it looks. Just a bunch of regulator switches on a control panel. Of course, the modern ones are all computerised. Once again, Nithiya in a play turns its rating into R(A). "Take the jewel!" "What Jewel? This one ar?" *looks at the statue's crotch* "Not that! The other one!" |
