nothing much to say. just that the drums practice today was good! we learnt the whole song that we're performing. actually, it does sound quite cool when everything is put together. lol but i feel screwed about my part, cuz today's the first time we're trying everything together, but i can only make it for the last practice which is like the full dress rehearsal. plus their gonna learn the movements tmr but there's training.


不知道为什么,最近总觉得怪怪的。每天总觉得很累,什么都不想做,什么也不想管,什么也不要想。透不过气的日子真的受够了。如果能抛开一切,让自己的日子好过该有多好。

NYWS FTW!

wushu performance for CNY was awesome!


the response during the performance was juz amazing. i never knew wushu was so well received by nanyang. when the emcee was announcing that wushu was going to be the next performance the applause given was way louder than what anyone of us was expecting. and wow when i entered the stage the atmosphere was juz amazing! =D


for the first time in my four years in nanyang I felt that the school was like 100% supportive of wushu and that the whole school acknowledged our efforts. lol right now im still feeling damn proud of nyws and our whole batch!


we really put in a lot of effort for jiti as well as the qi. and it meant so much to us since it was our first and last time performing in front of the whole school during chinese new year celebrations. all that i remember of the past 2 or 3 weeks of school apart from lessons is juz wushu, wushu and wushu. we lianed jiti like mad and had to face certain people in the process of attempting to lian. but on friday we really felt that everything we put in was worth it, and the feeling was amazing. i suspect i felt more nervous than i was for comps.


i think our whole batch is feeling damn ego right now xD but we never exactly had the chance to feel like this before. and i can still feel the adrenaline we had during the whole performance. all i can say is that the cny performance was awesome and we performed one of the best taos we ever did xD


jiayou for jiti everyone! and we'll own comps like we did on friday! =P

挺有意思的

微笑露一点

说话轻一点
脾气小一点
肚量大一点
理由少一点
做事多一点
效率高一点
行动快一点
脑筋活一点
嘴巴甜一点

这些你办得到吗?

some people are incorrigible

i really wonder how unreasonable things can get. it seems that some people really have no sense of shame they dont even realise they're lying.


Koped from sarah (cuz it really shows how ridiculous some people can be)


Something for you to figure out:

1. 10 people (guess who) walk into the rooftop hall and see 3 Sec 4 Wushu girls sitting in

the middle of the carpet, looking like they need to redefine 'slackers'. The 10 people have a booking for the rooftop hall, and urgently need to use it, for reasons that are divulged on a need-to-know basis. And hey, we don't N to K. So what do the 10 people do?

a) Tell the Wushu people to get out, please.

b) Tackle them 3 to 1, and drag them bodily out of the rooftop hall.

c) Leave sobbing quietly because the Wushu girls are bad and scary.

d) Stand there and stare at the Wushu girls for 10 minutes, then leave and go complain to their teacher IC that the Wushu girls suck because they have no eye-power-telepathy-thingy skills at all. Ergo, they didn't know they were supposed to leave, and just sat there looking like they needed to redefine "slackers".

I'd have guessed a or b. I might chance c, but only if cloning Venus got legalized.

Therefore, my score = 0/1, because the answer is
d.







its amazing how they could rush in to the wuguan and stare at us for like 10 minutes without uttering a single word. and its not as if we were doing jiti. the three of us were juz sitting there discussing about jiti, not that we took our daos and put it at their necks, threatening to kill them if they didnt get out of the wuguan =.= 


then these smart people decide that we somehow have the power to let them know that we want them to get out of the wuguan without us telling them anything. and they run crying to their oh so wonderful teacher in charge that we CHASED THEM OUT OF THE WUGUAN.


oh wow, like wushu people are evil and unreasonable maniacs that will eat you up if you refuse to abide by their wishes. sure. i would have slaughtered these unreasonable people like a million years ago if we were really like that. nothing much to say about these people, cuz im juz lowering myself attempting to talk about them. just amazing how these people can exist eh? 


i wouldnt be able to appear so proud of my shameless acts.




hope the rehearsal tomorrow wont be a waste of time like monday.

天理何在?

Today sucked like shit. Good thing the ppl who had stuff on didnt cancel it to go for the practically non existent rehearsal. We went there and 2.30 and waited in the hall like idiots cuz the teachers had no idea what they were doing, and instead of focusing on the performances they decided to focus on the emcees instead. Like hello, the emcees can rehearse anywhere in the school and they have to spend 'rehearsal time' telling getting the emcees to practice?


CO barely played much before they got cut off and asked to stop the rehearsal. but i suspect they were on stage for like an hour, and all because of the emcees. wow. then they get wushu to go next and start scolding us just because we didnt enter the stage when the music started. how on earth do you expect us to enter the stage if there's this endless stream of ppl coming out with instruments? obviously you let them come out before you go in lah =.= and we were scolded for not being prepared cuz of that, despite my attempts to explain it to an LA teacher. common sense?

then they smartly asked the ppl to play the music, let the sec 3s go out and do jitiquan, and told them to restart when they were almost done. wth? and the playing of music was damn screwed. plus some people really dont seem to understand who is in charge of doing what. she kept telling us that the music would play after the curtains were drawn and went on and on cuz some ppl didnt catch it. but seriously, its' go nothing to do with us, cuz our cue is the music, and we obviously wont go out with the curtains drawn.

just when everyone thought we were going to get a proper rehearsal, someone told us to juz do our ending move when emily barely started her tao, meaning that only jitiquan got to do something substantial. and wow thats the end of the damn rehearsal. the reason for only doing the start and end? ITS A TECHNICAL REHEARSAL!

YAH RIGHT. everything changes the moment chinese dance appears. juz because its chen lili doesnt mean she can have her way in everything. while wushu practically couldnt do anything, chinese dance could do the whole damn thing twice during a TECHNICAL REHEARSAL, with chen lili at the side correcting their mistakes, meaning that they were rectifying their moves during a TECHNICAL REHEARSAL. seriously, what the hell.

and so we decided to go up to the wu guan and lian instead. but no, modern dance was using the wu guan. and they refused to budge at all despite the fact that we having a damn performance next week and that they were only using half of the space in the wu guan.

the best part was the one on the rolling up of the di tan. Apparently, we have to roll up the carpet on thursday after wushu, so as to let modern dance have a conducive environment for their oh so wonderful dance practice. and modern dance will not roll the carpet back because they are being kind and doing us a favour! they claim that not rolling up the carpet will make it easier for the cleaners to clean up the carpet, and so by not rolling back the carpet they are ensuring that our wuguan is kept nice and clean! wow, such kind souls. i dont see how cleaning the floor helps keep the carpet clean because the way the cleaners clean the carpet is by vacuuming the TOP of the carpet. not the bottom you idiot.

is it not basic courtesy to put things back in order if you're using someone else's place? and not come up with such ridiculous and senseless excuses to make it seem like whatever it is that you're doing is such a selfless act. to think that came from a teacher. its not just warped reasoning. its total bullshit. how can you say something like that and give such a shameless explanation?

what is wushu? its considered nothing i suppose, from the treatment we got today. everyone wasted 2 hours to do nothing in the hall. everyone was going crazy about the rehearsal cuz we juz got notified yesterday and we actually tried to come. for that worthless thing. after doing nothing on stage, we had to watch chinese dance do their TECHNICAL REHEARSAL by rehearsing their WHOLE performance twice. then we go up to our rightful training area that is also known as the rooftop hall/MULTI PURPOSE hall (when it shouldn't be so) and get chased out, at the same time having to listen to shameless people cover up their actions.

the rehearsal on monday better be a proper one, or else i'll really chop some people up into a million bits cuz we're not going to all that trouble of wearing byf and warming up if we arent even given a chance to rehearse properly.
