hectic period. sorry for all the trouble i have given to everyone. thanks mel darling for keeping all of my stuff. been missing school a lot. it's terrible. i'm supposed to do homework now but i feel that it's time to sit down and think a bit before i move on with my crazy life. had drama practice today until 5pm. no half day for me. but i guess it's all right. besides, SYF is in 2 days time. kind of excited. =) initially i really wasn't confident of us, but what we did today had boosted a lot of my confidence. and i believe that we can do it! =D congrats to IP chinese drama for getting a beautiful gold! =) i hope that the JC category will at least get a gold too.
it's really wonderful today. i believe we did very well! even Li Jia said today was a lot better. like what Shanshan said, with him around, the more we practice the better we get. when he's not around, we just get lousier and lousier. hahaha. tomorrow is full dress rehearsal. i can't wait! =D
i'm finally getting to feel myself as a performer again. miss that feeling of being able to perform and express emotions that come from the heart. and in this skit, i have to act as a person who is the exact opposite of who i really am. it was quite a challenge for me initially, because i can't bring myself to act in a bimbotic and absolutely airhead, selfish manner. the role i'm acting is the person whom i will despise the most. but somehow i can bring myself to accept the role i'm playing, and make myself become that person for a few minutes. but i still think that i'm not bimbo enough =X maybe i'll get more and more bimbotic with a few more rehearsals. haha. luckily my mum is not here to watch me or she'll faint. and no i'm not going to let her watch me!
fostered a lot of friendship with the actors and actresses. SYF practices do a great deal to improve friendship. got to meet fun and crazy people. they are really very dramatic people. whenever there is a break, we will distort all of our lines and laugh over it. we'll make weird expressions and give each other stupid nicknames according to the roles we play. i enjoy drama practices a lot a lot! although it's tiring, every session is fun and full of joy and laughter. we do stupid things like stupid people do, talk about almost everything under NJ's banner, play stupid retarded games, do crappy, exaggerated actions and lots lots more! i look forward to more acting for drama night! =))
i learnt quite a few things from drama and acting. for one thing, i learn how to express different emotions through my tone of voice and body language. for another, i'm beginning to learn to accept personalities that i dislike. i learnt to let go of myself and take the role of another person, far different from mine. i guess that's what Elaine says when i have to act as someone different from who i am in certain dances. i hope that through acting, i'm able to become a better dancer as well. i also learnt a lot on how to have fun while being serious, and to take things easy. something that i need to learn how to do. it's also wonderful to get to know people who have great personalities. Shanshan really touched me yesterday. don't think anyone ever did that to me before. =) really very very touched. and she's super cute too =))
ok, time to do homework. and i still miss dancing. a lot. ok i'll stop ranting that i miss dance. i think it's not nice to do so and people are getting sick already. sigh.
