Hey guys, its been a long year and a long day for me right now, because I just came back from my trip to London and Paris, which was one of the dream places I have dreamt about going, but it was just alright for me. I will also start by telling you guys about my trip, then about the year. The trip was more of photo taking of the wonderful structures, monarchies, churches and buildings made hundreds of years ago, sceneries and food. I think its a disease that we asians created to take pictures before we eat our meal, well its a disease that is welcomed, but may get irritating sometimes.
So I went to a couple of the World's Famous Structures, The Effiel Tower, The Big Ben and Cathedral of Notredame De Paris, etc. The feeling of actually looking at these places for real was just eye-rubbing.(Unbelievable) Too bad I have no time to put in the pictures in post, well I will just put in an experience that was thrilling. In the new year eve's of Paris, we went to the Arc De Triomphe originally to see fireworks and how people from Paris celebrate the New Years. Well, it wasnt a good start at that night, we were taking pictures of Arc De Triomphe and beside us was a man drunk holding a beer bottle, his mouth was open and shivering, which I think he might have taken drugs. He bumped into my sis holding the camera, then my dad pushed him away with little force, but the man turn his back and walked drunkenly to my dad, and slowly reach to his pocket. WE WERE TERRIFIED. But my dad gave the innocent face while saying NO repeatedly, so he backed off. We thought he was going to reach for a gun or a knife, but my mom said he was just faking it, for how empty flat the pocket looked. So after that, I had an anxiety attack, and wanted to go back to the hotel, but we stayed anyways. We also missed the countdown, because by the time we got out of a hotel we sheltered in, it was already 12:02 am so yeah, Anande?(Happy New Year in French)
Read here if you only want to know about the year. Its been such a long ride, but the ride needs to end, for another one to come, with new people in it and new twist and turns, but you need to hold on to the ride, and always have a better time than the last ride. So I will be giving a basic list of the awesome things that happened in 2013.
1st Theme Day of 2013- It wasnt the most fun one, but we looked so united and strong when all of us were dressed up as bloody zombie survivors. Although there were 2 more classes doing it too, we still came up on the 1st, like the 1st of all classes. We were so pumped and high, that we got fruits in our prize.

Theatre Showcase (Still Live)- This day was one of those that was really dramatic for me, to actually be on stage and make people cheer,laugh and cry. One of the biggest, Miss-icks (Don't know what's that word? http://blmjrocks.blogspot.com/2011/05/miss-ick.html) I have had, to end something we started many months ago. (http://blmjrocks.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-pool-of-experience-special-guest-drama.html)
Horrorfying Halloween/Birthday Night in Scream Park- One of the most life-loving, saliva choking, friend hugging and most fun we had in our lives, it was so fun that it would be made horror movies and games to not be as scary to really encounter a guy with an axe chasing you in real life. That night was truly unforgettable. (http://blmjrocks.blogspot.com/2013/10/uncontrollable-fear-while-intense.html)
My friends of 2012/2013- My friends are the best batch of for my entire life of friends, they are the only batch that made me cry when we separated. Unlike primary school, my friends were only a little, and we weren't even that close. Well I hope I can make better friends this year.

That is all that I want to shcare about of 2013, I really hope this year will be more succesful, and I wish you guys a Happy New Year! HAVE A GOOD ONE!
B means a lot of things: 1.Believe in yourself :D 2. Behave like a good person :) 3. Believe in God. 4. Betray your friends not!(New post every (some Fridays..)Weekends, and holiday weekdays XD)If there is no pic for proof, USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!!!

Two Stories Far Apart.
Hey guys, and to start off my post, I will briefly say my 2 stories. We headed to Melaka to have a wonderful christmas/birthday celebration with all my other cousins and relatives. Days later, we got news about my grandfather(father's side) passed away, which was really tragic and we rushed to Johor for his funeral. I will illustrate on the happy story and only give a summary on the unlucky story. Because I'm not too keen to describing and keeping those kind of memories. We need to always look on the bright side.
There was a Christmas event and a birthday event for anyone born at December. For the Christmas event, we did some fun activities organized by our relatives that were on the 20+ side(means younger adults) and we kids also had to perform on our own effort get presents bought by my mom. The adults just needed to exchange presents by picking a poker card to see the number you get. The activities were really similar to the Children's Day Games we created at school when we were young, mostly about teamwork and unity.
Example- Blind Ball Catch (1 person from the team will throw ping pong balls backwards, for the other teammates to catch them with their perspective baskets and cups, then throwing it onto a basket. Team with the most balls win.)
Slide,Drop,Throw ( Using 2 sides of strings to support the ball and letting it slide onto a cup for it to be thrown onto a basket once again. Same concept to victory.)
Telephone [Drawing Version] (If you dont know Telephone, is which someone sends you a message through your ear, and you are suppose to repeat that to the next listener and the last listener will have to say the message out and see if its correct. Well, this is the drawing version, but this time we guess Chinese Proverbs( 成语). So we just do Telephone the drawing way, the first guys chooses the proverb and it goes on until the last guy guess out the proverb drawn by the guy before him. Team with most proverbs guessed wins.) If you guys think Im a bad explainer, well too bad, its my blog.
For the performances, I will start with mine. I mean ours, which is because Jack wanted to partner with me. Because he had no clue what to do. So I was actually going to do a lame 10 second magic trick myself. But with him, we actually can do a fun 30 second magic trick with 3 different tricks. But when we were praticing, I lost a prop which is a fake thumb supposedly for the Vanishing Cloth trick. (Google it yourself)
But Jack wanted the magic tricks to fail just for laughter of failure for the crowd, which was a good idea. And we tried to make it as lame and fake as possible, because seeing a serious magic trick is not always entertaining. But we didnt made it to the Top 3(Because it wasnt about Christmas I guess.) But me and Jack felt pretty proud to make the crowd laugh. My mom is those mom who eat snacks and junk food with their kids, and she was in charge for the prize providing. So she provided hampers with delicious food and snacks. She even made the 3rd prized a bag with snacks in them. She didnt really want me or my sis to get the prize. But turns out my sister got 1st place for her singing, and won the hamper with the most snacks and food. (Majority cannot hear, only the judges could hear, but she was cute singing it.)
After that, we reveal the best birthday cake Ive seen from my mom, which was a big chocolate+banana cake surrounded by KitKat and MnMs as topping. It looked so unhealthy and sweetness overload, but it was just a slice per person which was fine. Here is a picture for even more jealousy.
Well, that is all for happy side of this last part of the year. Now for the devastating part, but since its such a sad and tragic thing to happen, I decided not to share out the events we done in his funeral, because its not a memory I like to keep. That is it for this last post of the year, the end post for the finale of 2013 will be posted after My Europe Trip :) (Im going to London and Paris, my dream places :3 )

Farewell.
Hey guys, and we just ended Form 2 and our 2nd Appreciation Day, which was a relief and a bummer at the same time. When you end something really great, you feel really down and sad that its all finally over. I created a word when I was small about that feeling which is a "Miss-ick". Its quite childish, but its the only way to describe that feeling.
(Here is the post for that word I created: http://blmjrocks.blogspot.com/2011/05/miss-ick.html)
But Im going to type about Appreciation Day first, and then about the final day of us being together. We spent about a month on our dance for Appreciation Day, and Tr. Yuen Shin which is one of the head organizers (also my physics teacher :3) for this event said that most of the performances were dancing and the storyline were very similar. But we were lucky to be one of chosen ones once again, just like last year.
We personally thought that our performance was MUCH better than last year's. Because it was more meaningful and more effort put in. Most of all, more watchable. Our drama act was such a joke, that even all of us, after looking at ourselves, we thought: "How the hell, we got chosen?" Too random, too noisy, too weird, and too blurry, as in not understandable.
We felt quite happy and proud in the full dress runs, because the teachers said we were cute.(Most of the teacher there were girls) It may sound kind of weird, but its a positive feedback which we will always take. Its was also easier and not so nervous to dance in front of so many people, not like last year, it was a sketch, which needed to walk around and to remember the lines, and not to worry about the mic issues. Plus we do this entire thing together, so if we forget some steps, just look at your friends, easy.
So, lets finally skip to the moment when it was our time to shine. It went great and expected. Not like making jokes and saying your lines more exaggerating, dancing is both fun and catchy, and hard to get tired of. The full dance is on Youtube posted by most likely Jing Shen's Mom, we were all so surprised who posted it, ON YOUTUBE! Here is the video and try not to laugh at my skinny self. (Try to spot me too.)
The best performance I think that day, would be one of the Hip Hoper's dance session (Horror). There are 6 dance sessions by the Hip Hopers's; Introduction, Love, Funny, Horror, Action and Finale. It was the best for me because it was the coolest with the coordination, that dance made me wanna join Hip Hop even more next year. But sadly we dont have a video for that. :(
Teacher Dylan(Hip Hop Tr and Battleground Runner, no joke here) and Teacher Amos(Maths Tr and also a good dancer) also danced before the Horror dance session, and what made it so cool as both of them did it very well timed with the beats of the music.
Now we head on to the last topic, which will be our last day of school. This day was tough, and it was a challenge not to shed a tear at the end of the day. And main part WILL be the end of the day. We played games and songs(mostly by Jonathan), but until the end, it all was going to end. One by one, we all started to burst into tears. It was just natural. Some of us tried to hold, but we just couldn't. We took about a billion photos that day. While we were in deep sorrow, Tr Yuen Shin and Tr Bernie came in to say their goodbyes and to encourage us to be strong and we would still meet next year and so on. But they have to admit they did drop down a tear or two. We all hugged each other and just really couldn't stop the tears flowing down our cheeks. There was just countless of fun and memories we had, it was just such a fun batch of friends. They were always there for me when Im down, and always beside of me when laughter. This may have sounded cliche but sometimes its just necessary.
If any of my 2 AMBER 2013 friends see this post, I dont care who you are, You will be remembered. (Now this will be cliche for sure...) Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this very deep post and have a good holiday!

Uncontrollable Fear while Intense Excitement {HALLOWEEN/BIRTHDAY PARTY}
Hello and welcome back to reading about my cool experiences that I've encounter in my life. That day was one of the most memorable days, plus its a Halloween/Birthday Party specially dedicated to my friend, Jing Shen!! Even though I wasnt the birthday boy, it was the best birthday party I've experienced.
It all begins with us going to Sunway Lagoon, the main entrance to the brand new and exclusive "Nights Of Frights!" We were split into 2 groups: Group A which is Jing Shen and all the others going for a game of laser tag, Group B which is me and Loh Jie going for dinner ourselves. We had around 40 minutes to eat so we had to make a quick decision. Sunway Pyramid was so huge we had to choose in the Asian Avenue. We choose --- "Station Kopitiam" . Out of a million shops, we choose that one, we were in a rush so we cant really be choosey. It was pretty mean of us to think how "humiliating" it was to eat there in SUNWAY PYRAMID! We kept on making "Station Kopitiam"-Jokes. We were so demonic.

~Journey Of Fear~
1. Queuing up to fear
2. The night awakens
3.Entering the Horrors
4. Cooling Off with More Fear
5. Inescapable Panic
6. Anxiety Overload
7.Fun Fear and Wet Rides
8.One Last Scare
19. Ending the Frights
Queuing up to fear- We were excited and afraid at the same time, those emotions mixed together brings unrealized happiness. Before we head in to the streets of horror, all the types of famous horrifying people came to meet and greet. Example: Texas Chainsaw Guy, Jason from Friday the 13th, Some huge ghoul looking thing and the Joker. The Joker was one of the memorable people that night, he let out this "engine starter" laugh that was freakily amusing, but Loh Jie had to mock his laugh and I could see through his awkward expression with his face. But it was okay after we took a picture with him!
The night awakens- Being one of the early birds in a theme park haves more excitement rushing through our blood, because you can experience slowly one by one all of the things come to life and they have the maximum energy to output and make out the most scare. They always "None is better than the first", one of the first scares are the best, they feel the intensity, they feel the thrill of the fright, they feel control over our deep dark mind.(This is what I usually do in essays, and I should stop bragging :3)
We went in with full on energy and enthusiasm, the environment was matched so well, you see slowly horrifying beings coming out from the misty fog.
Entering the Horrors- Our first destination was "World War Z", which was kinda main horror house attraction, so it would be logic to go there first. We waited in line, and we were really pumped and scared, then when it was our turn,we just ran inside like kids. But there were too many of us, so we were split into 2 groups. World War Z was essentially just a house full of surprises and zombies coming to "kill" you but not really because they cant touch you, but fear is somehow uncontrollable. Since it would be tiring and pointless to describe every single shiver I let out in there, so I will only point out the memorable moments of the haunted houses. MM= My shoe fell out and I had to quickly put it back on while getting chased by hungry zombies.
Cooling Off with More Fear- After World War Z, our hearts were still pumping, so we needed to relax and take in some air. So they recommended a Flying Ride, those things that go up and down in circles. I am really known with fear and not taking risks, but HEIGHT was one of the main. So I was going to chill myself down, with my fear of heights. Jared was in the "bird" with me, and he was so calm and relaxed, while I was looking in a direct line, not looking down. But it was still really cooling and relaxing(if I didnt look down).
Inescapable Panic- We decided to go the Tomb of the Mummy, which was actually in a short queue, but a magician pursued us into watching his show because it got limited showtimes, while we can go to haunted houses anytime. After half way through the magic show, the queue became longer, which was ok because we got plenty of time left, so we where actually separated and went to the 2nd horror house which was called "Horrorwood Studios". The starting of this horror house was definitely just like the horror games, but just in REAL LIFE. It was a long corridor with light shining at the end, we were all stunned and were holding back. It was hilarious when you think about it afterwards, but while in that situation it was terrifying. But the person made us walk by walking slowly from the dark, they had so much control over our brain.
MM= We saw a zombie in the cage, and Jared wasnt that scared because he thought he was secured in there. But afterwards, the zombie came out and scared Jared half to death, making him fall down and having another zombie behind of him. Jared was sad.
Anxiety Overload- I knew the night was going to be filled fear, but fear just reached its limit that night. I thought it was all haunted houses and scares, but TOMAHAWKS and PIRATE SHIPS just needed to step in. Sunway Lagoon just wont stop with the amusement parks. So we didnt try the rides, EVEN with friends and just waited on the bench with the other life loving people(Means not a risk taker), hearing their screams of excitement. Even Jing Shen, the birthday boy(he is known to be one of the toughest and fearless in our class) himself dont ride these things.
Fun Fear and Wet Rides- Fun Fear really is the name of the Fun Fair, so Im not being lame. But we road some thrilling rides like the Speed Shoes, where it goes like the speed of lightning, and Turning Cups where it makes your head go right round, right round... Im so lame. There were also some wet rides, which I didnt feel like attending because I wasnt really in the mood for extreme heart pumping rides. I was kinda lazy, i wanted fear to motivate me to excitement. MM= Jared, Carlos and I were walking together after that, then we saw a Masked Man with an Axe, he was one of the haunting livings, but he was more unique and interactive, he CHASED us without a sound holding his axe, but Carlos and Jared sneakily run away and left me. They were such "good" friends.
One Last Scare- Its was getting late, and we thought that we hadn't fully finished our scary journey. So we would go to our last haunted house for that night, which was the Tomb of the Mummy which we delayed earlier ago. It was 10:something when we reach there, and we would think that after 3 hours of non stop scaring, they would feel tired. Because at the end of the day, they are still human. So we went in, and we didnt experience it when it was in the early hours, so we cant really tell if they were slacking. But this haunted house was more unique, because there was smoke or fog to make look like sand, and strings to just tangle you up to buy more time for the mummies to get to you. MM= Yen Sheng was the last and left behind by us, while he was tangled up by the strings and a mummy was slowly approaching to him. Yen Sheng was mad.
Ending The Frights- So it was time to end the long awesome tiring night that would never come off our minds, and it was such a hell of a time we had. We took our last pictures and said our goodbyes and hope to come back for a new and improved experience. Thus this is the end of this post and I hope you guys enjoyed to read my post, and thank you! Have a nice weekend.

Ending Experiences
Hello, I'm finally back to blogging and its been rather long since a post, because (exam business)(nothing to write about)(weekend events). Its now October and I think its time to end the Form 2 experience with a post about what is going on and going to happen until the finale of my experience with my friends. :(
First of all, our final exam is over and some may say its time to relax and have fun with your friends till the end, but in reality its not really done,-----Results. These are the main point of fearing exams, and I just cant chill with it. Its not really going to be a poor result, its just the paranoia and thoughts from my heads. Kind of like "Fear is an option, Danger is really real."-AFTER EARTH. It also may turn out really great and unexpected, who knows. But the real logic is, why do you worry so much, when its already unfixed and confirmed, it wont do any good, so we should just relax and have fun!
Next, we have last final event of the year in school which is pretty familiar from last year and its our 2nd APPRECIATION DAY!!! This is annually the last thing for our class to have our last come together for a performance we could never forget, to remember how awesome of a class we are. And its something that I cant really talk much about, because my family is seeing this and I want to make a suprise for them. But what I can only say is that, its a musically dancing type of drama! Which is really special and unique for our class to try out and gain victory in the auditions this Wednesday.
We are also doing lots of last presentations together that is all individually unique, A puppet show for History, Teaching the classes about Geography, and finally a dramatic presentation for English since 9000 years ago.(Means a very long time..) Ok now this is me actually thinking right now what to write about for this post, so I think Im done? Since that is pretty much it for what is happening, but this is not the last post, because there will be the news from the auditions next week and the appreciation day itself to talk more about. So yeah, BYE? Yeah, have a nice weekend and thanks for watching this small mini update post, BYE!

A Pool Of Experience ~ Special Guest, "Drama"!
Hey guys, I'm finally back for another blogpost, and it's been TWO MONTHS since a post which is quite sad, because I looked back at my "Blog Archive" and saw how gradually every year, the number of post is going down rapidly as Niagara Falls.(What a lame simile, but I'm training on using them anyways) But I think I would explain why I've been away at the end of the post, and now I present to you the The Dramatic Archive.

Before I begin, I want to say this really its explaining the delay of the blogging, and what I have been doing, its a whole recap of my drama class experience and how we all started till the end of our performance at KL PAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) during the Malaysia's Teen Carnival. Enjoy!
Joining- So this year, I wanted to choose Drama for our Skills Enhancement, and you can pick others to try for a month only. But I was sure about my choice and stayed there for the rest of the year. To be honest, I've NEVER SEEN Teacher Erica(Our funny and amazing drama teacher :3) before I joined, so I was a little bit afraid, because there were stories about her fierceness and meeting her for the first time. There were a load of us boys from Amber there(with lonely Victoria....)and there were plenty of strangers from 2 Opal. We didnt know what we were about to endure.
Gaming- We played games to get to know each other better and to test and improve skills of drama itself, there are countless of games through out the year so I cant really explain or describe or even remember some of the games, so thats all I can say. (Sorry! I cant make this post too long... *sad face*)
Acting- Other than games, we also had to do some acting! It was fun and we had our struggle on communicating with other people but through out the year, we were getting the hang of it as a class. There was once we needed to act without any emotions or expressions, plus we couldn't talk, it was so funny I couldn't hold my laughter, some good memories.
Frowning- There are always ups and downs in everything we do in a group or team. We werent really that pumped in drama at the quarter start of the year(February-March), because we were so jealous of our friends at Hip Hop, and drama wasnt really that fun as we thought. Teacher Erica was really mad at our "I dont really care" attitude, and wanted us to respond more and have more energy and enthusiasm, so she stormed out of the class. We also needed to think on what to do for the extra 15 minutes and make a choice whether we should or should not apologize.(Some of us thought that she was acting, because of her amazing skills!)
Grouping- After all the games and activities, we finally start on our big performance project. But first, we organized everyone to different groups to be more easy on people to work on one particular category, and the teachers(Through out the year, there were more teachers to help Tr. Erica, like Tr. Rueben and Tr. Wei Yen) I forgotten some of the groups, so I didnt want to make things look broken, and just move on to the next paragraph!
Auditioning- One of the groups were the "Script Writers", and they are the ones to create the basic storyline and characters. The idea that we all agreed and was satisfied with was the MANNEQUIN idea(those tall looking human statues you see in those fashion/clothing shops).
So these were the groups of characters they created:
1: Footballers
2: Janitors
3: Nobles
4:Know It Alls
5: Witches (Originally Bimbos, but changed due to errors)
Every character in every group is not a "left-over"(KALEFE, in cantonese saying) we all have a purpose in the sketch. So we all had to audition for what group suits us the best. I was selected as a JANITOR. It may sound funny, and a pretty bad character, but our group is one of the main factor of the story.(Mainly my friend, Lim Khang which is one of the main characters)
Rehearsing- After everyone got their groups and characterization (Neither the teachers or the script writers decide what kind of a person or what kind of character we were in the sketch, we decide it ourselves), we rehearsed out parts over and over again, and after a month or 2, we had to stay back at Fridays and Saturdays in the morning at school. There were ups and downs, but at the end, it was a very fun journey practicing with those people.
Finishing- After all the rehearsing, we finished it up with some sort of our sad touching ending. Some of us thought it was funny and was way too cheesy, so some of us just rolled our eyes or looked away looking at teh ending scene, but the teachers said it was a wonderful ending and we needed to blush it up and fix the errors, to make a full watchable product for Theatre Showcase.
Mistrusting- 2 weeks before the Teen Carnival started, we had to go to Sri Emas for a full run of all the classes' performance, so we had an hour of preparation for the run. During after a practice run, some of us went out to buy food or something, and we didnt know where the others went, so we practically was just waiting around until they came back. Later on, TEACHER ERICA came in with a VERY LONG face, and sat down telling us that we were about to be cut off. WHAT??!!! The reason was that some of the Opal boys went to the football court and I think(Im not really sure what happened) they went secretly went to play football there(We have our ball as a prop, and some times for breaks at rehearsal we play a little bit)
So Teacher Erica didnt trust us with our safety and responsibility, and said we werent ready for KL PAC. But lots of us were devastated and shed lots of tears, then Tr. Erica gave us a second chance of trust.
Preparing- The day was finally here, our doomsday-- no, our Judgement Day, on how all of our effort we put in will end up like. After all the months of training, we were very nervous and a tiny bit of confidence on our play. Sweat dropped down as we put on our costumes and our face paint.(We were the only group with the face paint, which was pretty cool, but some people disliked it, and the name for our show is "A MASK FANTASIA", which was the unique theme of the entire show. The face paint were some what burning and itching at the same time. Cruel moments just for looks. Lucky Footballers.(They didnt need it because they
werent mannequin...)
Failing- There were two shows of two different times for that day, one in the afternoon, and one at night. Logically, people would choose the 2nd show which will be at night, because its the best time for performances and showtimes.(I dont think that much people will be busy at night....) So our first performance, we were nervous but not more than the 2nd, main reasons were our family were not there and the number of people GREATLY changed between the afternoon and the nighttime show. We were really lucky most of our parents choose the 2nd show, because we did AWFUL during the first show. Let me explain from the top.
The teachers were very busy and stressful, so we didnt have time to do a practice run on the IMMENSE stage. So we had to just straight away perform without any runs at the 1st show. Some of us were quite unclear on where we should come out or go back to, and its was just so messy at the backstage. The cues of the music were out, but the show must go on, we learned but we just were freaking out and didnt really gave out best act out. There was a scene, where I needed to kidnap one of the footballers. I didnt know where to put my props and DELAYED the time for me to come out, so I came in rushing in(Not part of the play), PLUS BUMPING INTO MY FRIEND'S HEAD. So it was a complete disaster.
Retrying- After the 1st show, the teachers gathered all the groups to the stage for a quick brief and feedback from the audience and themselves. Everyone got positive and good feedback, EXCEPT our group and the Form 5 group, "Fractured". At one point, teachers scolded everyone for not being obedient and asking unnecessary questions. We all felt extremely lucky for a second and final chance, especially our group.
Minutes before the show starts, Teacher Wei Yen found a kid who had tape wrapped around his arms. His arms automatically looked and moved like a mannequin. Teacher then broadcast to everyone to try that out and see what it look and feels like. We all loved it. Our adrenaline bumped up, we felt the excitement.
"It was now or never."
COMPLETING- Our sweat was colder and went down through our hyped up body much faster. We warmed up how we were gonna look like when we move backstage. Then we only realized, it was our very last time acting together as a team. Then, it was time.
Everything was perfect at the last performance. The music, the cues, the movement, the organization and the ending. It was truly the best performance through out the year. "We did it." We said very happily and tiredly at the same time. We pulled out the tape from our legs and arms excitedly and painfully. It was one of my happiest and most memorable days of my life.(Sometimes, being cliche is necessary.)
But Drama is not going anywhere just yet, we still normally have drama classes every Tuesday but just ended on the big heavy rock we were lifting all those months, the rock is finally up.
I'm really happy that I could finish this post in time and let you guys look at my experience in Drama through out the year, performing on a stage, in KL PAC, with hundreds of strangers, friends and especially my family to see our long hard work. Thanks for being so patient to see this post, thats all I want from you people.
See you next time!!

Theme Day- SHIPWRECKED!!! Best One Yet!
Hey guys, and today I am going to just give a brief on my exam first, because last post, I said I was going to cover that too, but I forgot :3. I did the "Teach your 'Kids'" Thing like last year, and it worked out quite well. Its just me teaching my soft toys about the subject while revising for the test. :3
Now we get to the main part of this post, THEME DAY STROKED AGAIN!! Its the 1st Theme Day of the year, and my 3rd Theme Day of my life(Theme Day #1 {E.T.})(We dont have Theme Day #2, because I didnt write about it and had no time and memory.). And this year's theme was Shipwrecked!. We came up with "Survivors from Sea", which was us dressing up as blood-coated survivors with bruises and scars. Not to be too cheesy, WE LOOK BADASS!! I will be posting a picture a the bottom of the post to let our BADASS SHINE!! (I'm the lamest person in the world...)
Like I said for 2013, I want to make post, fast and easy to read, not long dull draggy post without any pictures like last time . So lets begin! I will first tell you the process of our lovely deadly costumes, which was quite cheap for such a cool looking prop. First, they went to "Giant" and bought 25 blank white T-Shirts. Then we also brought a pail and red color paint. We filled the pail up with water and also poured the red paint to mixed with it, to produce our BLOOD!!! Then we use our hands or feet to dip into the pail full with blood, and use our creativity to edit our own Survivor Shirt.
I had some amazing plans and designs for my shirt, but it was messed up by Tracy's shirt dripping blood on mine, totally bloody on one side of it. I felt really disappointed that time, but my friends said that it looked more natural and cheered me up.
Of course, we didnt create our shirts ON the Theme Day, but we did the Scars and Bruises and Holes before the Theme Day started. After the all the extra blood lining and shirt cutting, we finally went up to the Activity Hall to experience Theme Day with LOTS OF CLASSES. There were too many classes, so it was split into 2 sessions, we got the early one which was incredibly lucky. I'm also NOT GOING TO COVER on all other classes's theme, because its going to make it tough for me to remember all of them and you to get interested enough to carry on reading.
We walked into the activity hall with LOTS OF SHOUT AND HATE. And we had no idea why, and thought that we were what lame to them and didnt care, but the "BOO"s were because 2 CLASSES DID THE EXACT SAME THING! Same white T-shirts(But their aren't fully blank but with some other words) with blood stains(Less Bloody...) and also some bruises and small broken holes. But we all agreed ours were better with the amount of blood we got, we were much more **NOTICEABLE**.
We played our FIRST of TWO games, which was kinda like a "Teacher Hunt" and all of the classes got their own hints of the teacher we need to hunt. It was pretty fun, and we were quite of a rush on getting our victory and moving on, so we didnt really do much thinking and just went with what ever we guess. Now there will also be a penalty for not getting the right teacher, well the penalty is what ever the teacher's penalty paper says. We got the question:" This teacher is another word for Voski." Of course, the first and only thing that we need to search is Voski, and it turned out to be Gold! We make 2 dumb guess for Tr. Jaqueline (Sounds like Voski?) and Tr. Ying Shing (We thought it sounded like gold in Chinese) and failed, so I remember we did the Macarena and Chicken Dance. The final answer was Tr. Kin San, our vice president, and her name was Gold in Hokkien, I think.
Our second and final game or activity, is to create an invention for what ever specific on the paper give by teachers using only materials all around the school. Every class's paper has the same objectives.
"An invention to hunt down food"
"An invention to call for help"
"An invention ........"(FORGOTTEN)
Im so sorry but I kind of forgot on how what materials we used on the inventions and I dont want it to be really memory based on my experience, so Im just not going to tell you about the inventions we made :( , but I think its ok because its not really important. But let me fully explain about this game, is every class can give tokens to the other classes if they like their invention, and the most tokens given class is the winner and gets the grand prize of this year's Theme Day.
We thought we were just puny ants against the whole school, they all got such great ideas and creations, and we didnt really care about winning so we just sat around after our invention was done(Pretty early because it was pretty quick based.) When the clock hit noon,everyone had to stop and we awaited for the results of the 2 winners, one for Best Dressed n Best Invention.
When they announced the results, 5 Opal won Best Invention which we werent really high-spirited, didnt really gave a crap and Best Dressed goes to 2 Amber! Oh how nice, a class from our batch, I didnt really payed much attention, lets us confirm who won, asks friends, "Umm, I think we won." All of us responded with dullness, and looked around, we won. WE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!! WOOHOOO This is not an example, dream or joke, it really happened, we won Best Dressed!!! We started screaming with excitement and rushed to get our prize. 5 Opal and our class got our prizes in a special gunny sack of wonders. Inside was surprisingly FRUITS (which are fresh apples and grapes in packets) and some delicious sweets and chocolate!(Chocolate Coins in a box and chocolate brands such as Tolberone and Mars etc.)
We had no idea we would win with such simple and cool ideas, and we played along for the rest of that pleasant day. We were just crazy with the apples and grapes, chocolate was just overrated.
That was mainly the great first Theme Day of the year, we hope we would never forget our first victory against half of the whole student body. Here is a picture of our theme day!!
Tune in until next time for a whole entire holiday montage for this 2 week fun packed holiday!!
