the problem with an eye for an eye, is that everyone ends up blind

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

WELL, here i am FINALLY to say my piece about the cap camp. (yes i know it is kind of a continuation of the previous post but that one wasnt counted cos i watching spongebob. you know how idiotic yellow thingies have a way with me ;P) in a way that can be seen as some sort of an advantage because you (as in anyone who would even have an inkling about cap camp) would have read what other people have said about this camp, and now, you can hear MY version (which you would obviously take as the less formal one. everyone does that).

SO, (and if this seems rather disjointed from the previous paragraph it's because nothing from there was registered in my brain) it started out with me yelling at my mother as she drove through nus aimlessly trying to find eusoff hall (:. well we weren't late at all, but the place was so freaking big i certainly thought we would end up late. the only time i've been there was for the nus open and that was at the field, which is quite a distance from eusoff. yawn...see still thinking of softball even when i type this.

so uh, yeah i reached the hall on time and i uh...slacked around until we were told by pak to go register. so i uh...registered! (oh crap tell me i'm not spouting utter trash now...not this early into the post!) i went to my room, which seriously wasn't bad. i mean, it wasn't like...you know those stereotyped dorms that you see in thai horror movies (yes i know there's only one that comes to your mind but that one is more than enough for me thankyewverymuch).

uh...dumped our stuff...went back to the canteen (?) for orientation. uh...brandon...clarise...counsellors of grps 7 and 8. moi was in group 7 (you know i just realised that the number 7 keeps recurring in my life. like how my register number was 7 for the past two years and now its been replaced, no less, by gan. my jersey number is 7 x 2! XD) so after getting chased off by chu ting (who's the nygh catcher...i really should pay more attention during combined schools games...) we finally settled down where we started...and played games yay!

uh...games...im not really into games. and we almost got to play the yes no game too! ))):

let's see...what happened after that...OH opening ceremony! haha sebi really looked out of place...dress tres bien until the...shoes. haha and his fringe is still too long...oh and my prose has a long long way to go to be as good as his. come on...i dun even know the definition of schizophrenia offhand, much less the way it's spelt!

i just realised i spent hell of alot of time on the first half day. so we shall fast forward...to the plenary!

monsieur larry e smith (funy how french keeps forcing its way back into my language, even though i quit 6 months ago. screw off man stupid frenchies)...to put things simply, i slept through his talk on how he thought his office was his house or something liddat, and how i can one day call my dog my walking torture device (or something liddat. dun kill me). so yea...that's a plenary for you :)

uhm...hold on i'll get my schedule XD.

ok so accord(ian)ing to my schedule, after dinner came the performance workshop. poetry slam...(pour moi, that is)

I

HATE

POETRY

and nothing else on this earth is going to make me like it. so SOD OFF MAN POETRY SUCKS!!! i got FORCED INTO IT.

so when i got asked to write a stanza on the parent's perspective of their son spending too much money on his sms-es (ok my english is getting screwed), i churned out this:

whole day spend my own money
still think it's very funny
only know how to take my cash
my savings getting less and less.

HEY i cant help it right! im a PROSE person!

den was supper...and we went to sleep!

and oh man did i get freaked out. i got woken up by crickets, by creaks and groans in the night, my the rustling of the leaves, by the scraping sound that the watever material my blinds are made of make when they scratch against the walls...in short, i got woken up by everything and anything.

well...what else did i have to do other than go and disturb other people? well..yeah i went to wake zhi hao and choon hiang up XD...den when they refused to come out well...i went to shower. but not before making sure there were other people in the toilet of course XD. first time i was thankful for the existance of hwachong guys. (and NO i am NOT GAY. just SCARED of the freaking DARK DAMN YOU!)

-phew...glad the first day's over. just four more to go! or so it seems. my maths might be failing me now, but 5-1=4 doesnt it?

breakfast...then plenary number 2.

poetry analysis..oh HO HUM...

try telling your teacher that the star of david is hidden within your test poetry. she'll either call you a freak or a genius. nothing against jews here, i'm a christian myself and i'd say the same thing if you told me that the cross was hidden in this blog post that you're reading now.

i tried to think of a question man i seriously did!

okay, up til then i probably hadnt interacted much with anybody, except probably like gerald and kia wee (who i called hwachong cos i thought his name was kind of retarded). yea...first time for me, as my previous post has already illustrated.

den came WRITING WORKSHOP! YAY!

mon favourite movie: the creep!

mon least favourite movie: shutter.

really! well based on the fact that the creep did keep me up for 4 nights in a row (albeit for entirely the wrong reasons) it should be my favourite movie right! and shutter is totally forgettable trust me. and from what i hear the omen isnt that good either. but wth i won't be able to watch it anyways.

i srsly think mr woon totally owns man. yeah hes just damn freaking cool. hmm den we were like split into groups to brainstorm a number of ideas? and I WASNT THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THE INCEST-WITH-SURROGATE BABIES IDEA OKAY? just in case davina/yong hui EVER comes here...it WASNT ME! XP...

den was cap excursion...and it sucked so much i darent talk about it. i spent the whole time smsing and talking to gerald.

dinner...performance workshop.

quite a sucky day lah if you ask me...except for screenwriting with mr woon.

sleep...(this time with the lights on XD)

well that seemed shorter compared to the first day! does that mean i'm getting better at summary? well i couldnt get much worse anyway, judging from my 14/25 for ct...please man cut out the summaries!

plenary trois, on day trois, avec profesuer peter nazareth. BORING. lucky i didnt take prose...haha! den came screenwriting! yay!

srsly lah that's like the only thing i looked forward to for the entire duration of the camp? well today davina et yong hui et moi had to come up with a storyline for a play. well given that i had just read american dreams the day before, the idea of angels coming to earth and falling in love with earthly women was kinda stuck in my head...so yea my idea was about an angel coming to earth and uh...falling in love.

which then allows the devil a passage into heaven but not without the help of a treacherous angel who wishes to succeed where lucifer failed. cool huh? NOT man too cliched. and you wanna know davina's idea?

haha its damn damn pro for an idea thought up while they were going to the toilet XD...well according to my memory, yong hui saw the men's urinals in the mirror (poor positioning tsktsktsk) and they thought about what would happen when a girl saw a guy and got forced to marry him?

haha so yea...typical boy meets girl girl falls in love with boy idea but HEY better than mine! (and no im not jealous...)

haha and you should have seen how the w00ner set it up man! fantastic! all the talk about patricia mok and the fei ji chang XD...and the negroe who believes in tradition! omg i have a loooooooong way to go hahaha!!!

well in the end we settle for louise's and retarded river vally boy's idea...about pandora's box sucking up all the evil in the world. haha really nice idea i mean...its quite cool if you ask me. (again justice league comes into play here cos of the seven sins...if you've read virtue and vice of course). THEN came the fun part!

we had to choose one of the seven sins and brainstorm about a world without it! and guess which one my group chose?

or rather I chose?

LUST

of course. XD...

and once again DAVINA came up with a BRILLIANT idea!

while i was busy thinking about how the porn industry would go bust...she said to herself (but loud enough for me to hear)

"then people would all go naked?

which is TRUE! XD...and you think im perverted-.- seetow would get OWNED man XD...

hmm...den was visual arts...batik painting...not much to say about that except that i suddenly turned super helpful then. wahahaha...

den performance workshop...poetry slam...reciting poetry...BORING...

oh yah. my poetry slam group...consisting of *drum roll*

2 hwachong boys: yiyonh ang nicholas. yiyong later became the mc so we kicked him out. (or I kicked him out)

kexin...some rg sec2 sftballer...(ed: due to unforseen circumstances, i have been asked to remove this piece of information. we at slauinsurance apologise for any inconveniances caused to the parties concerned and would gladly compensate in cash.)

kenneth...some ri sec 2 guy with thick specs.

yea and our poem was about handphones. no comment.

den we went to sleep...and ZHI HAO AND CHOON HIANG WOKE ME UP AT 530 AM ON THE ONLY DAY OF THE CAMP THAT I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SLEEP PROPERLY!!! (*@(#*@!(*#)$@!!!

wah lao...but i wont hold grudges :D

den came SCREENWRITING AGAIN! yay! i love screenwriting. den we had to think of a storyline to go with the concept of the pandorra's box idea. and YES we should not play cards while we are supposed to do our work right madame ng? -.-

anyway my grp's story was smething like this...

there are two twins whose parents are famous explorers and one day they come back after having gone on a long long expedition and they've found pandorra's box! so one day one of the twins walks in on the parents arguing about how to use hte box, and the dad's all WE SHOULD GET RID OF THE SINS IN THE WORLD (swears) and the mother's like NOO BE SENSIBLE! (again stereotypes haha! but what would the world be without them...)

yea so anyway the parents get murdered and the twins are put under the care of foster parents who beat them and abuse them. and one day they get locked in the cellar where they chance upon a disguised pandorra's box and they use it against their foster parents.

so there's one twin who doesnt want to use it, and another one who wants to. but the one who wants to use it was hte one who walked in on his parents so its like mirroring the conflict that their parents had before (deep eh? WE thought of that ok?) ahah so...the inpulsive twin opens it against the wishes of the other sensible twin and yea theyre not affected by the box.

den in the end the impulsive twin goes around getting abck at all teh people who screwed up his life and the good twin finds out and tries to stop him and in the end he dies (tragic eh?) and yea...in the end what i (we) wanted to achieve was to show the difference between a world where there are no sins and the world we live in now. so stop complaining when your teacher gives you extra homework you naughty naughty person!

so yea in the end we heared all the ideas and the artist sat in for awhile.

den plenary4! with diana ferrus...boring. ok fine all plenaries are boring but can i help it? they should get w00ner to do a plenary!

den was the rehearsal of poetry which i cant tell you about cos u wont geddit. den was the get-together dinner!

HA you missed the chance of seeing me dress in long-sleeves black collared shirt with jeans man SUCKER. haha really posh and the food was nice haha...i challanged a hwachong guy to drinking pepsi. big mistake.

cos one, you'll need to pee after that.

and two, you get chest contractions. seriously!

haha and oh did i mention that someone mistook me for gerald cos we were wearing the exact same thing XD...

and yes, my dinner table!

kia wee(hwachong, another hwachong guy frm another grp, alina (some rg bballer), michelle (or gwen? i srsly have no idea), khairool (sme malay guy), yong hui (nygh girl frm screenwriting), some river vally girl and uh...no more i think.
