HI Club 10:48 PM

30 June (Friday)
The First Performance
I never imagine that not long after the Hi Club Camp, im posting the first performance I had in Hi Club. Wow how time really pass! It was my very first performance of signing a song and im super nervous. I can still remember how it felt like, when Darren was my Hi-instructor. We were signing I Want It That Way. So I was walking to find for the LTR, then it was at the place where I first went for Sports & Wellness (PE). So we began rehearsing signing the song. And the most unexpected part was suddenly more people came in, they are not regulars but they came for the performance. Oh my gosh! So Darren have to quickly teach them about the song. Imagine, you come and learn to sign a song and the next hour, you are performing, how would you feel? Freaking nervous and scared, what else! In my row of 5, 3 of them just were irregulars. So I gotta calm them down and they cant really speak English very well and yes, my Chinese sucks. So I got to use my sucky Chinese to calm them down.

Next thing, the positioning, the people that just came didn’t know or don’t know much for the positioning. And it’s a lot of moving. And not some stand-and-sign that kind of thing. Every few phrases later, we have to move. My instructors, Pei Wen and Darren… well, I can see they are really struggling with the whole thing. Seriously, if I were them, I freaking panicked ok! And there was nothing I could do but play my part and sign well. XP, a guy I just knew for 15 min, went to lead us in the song. You can really Darren rushing cos he rather teach the irregulars the song and positioning than to go for announcement. So Pei Wen went instead. Me? I don’t know. I stared at Darren for quite a long while. He was so rushed he even got our names wrong when positioning. Well, but I do understand how he feels. Could have been sure he is knows what to do when adversity comes.

So we practice more and went in around 7.30pm. True enough, everyone was anxious. I repeated tell myself no to worry and remember to remember the lyrics. Zul was my first friend in class so we came up with a plan on how to cheer our instructors up. When they come on stage every time, we will shout their names over and over again. Yeah I know, what kind of stupid plan is that!! The plan worked, worked too well, we cheer so loud until our instructors forgotten the lyrics halfway. WTC! But its funny still, haha. Then we were going to sign our song. Woah, I don’t know much but we started differently, and ended differently. I mean it. Ours was the only one with curtains drawn and we ended off with ‘1F’ shaped by the people. 1 is black and F is white. Im in the F. well, I can admit I did well. I could have guaranteed I did not miss or forget one word. It felt super good!!! I can even see some people on their seats signing with us. And as the crowd cheered, well, it felt like an achievement, an achievement I must thank God for. For a second, im sure everything will be okay.



Zul blocked me




The performance hit past 10.45 and crap, the last train leaves at 11.30, I got to hurry to the MRT. Asked Darren if we can go back together but he was staying in sch. So I went home with Zul, XP, Glenda ( a girl I just met cos she was with XP). XP and Glenda went home by bus. Zul and I went opposite to take the bus. Well, its cool cos I get to know the two of them better, apparently, they also talk a lot when you know them better. Now, I was asking God, ‘what happens if I miss the last train?’ shit I cant think like that! Must have Faith that I’ll get the last train. Was praying almost the whole time and yes!!!!! I got the last train. Zul continued taking the bus back home. I was in the train myself and I kinda felt sorry for those who missed the last train. There was a time when a guy just missed the doors and he thought another train would come but a guy at the station told him to go down as no more trains will be coming. Felt sorry for him. Then with 50 min on the train, I got a seat and reflected on the whole day. Suddenly, something urged me that I should send a msg to Darren. At times, I feel like just msg him for the sake but it felt different this time. Arggghh. Fine! So I gave him a msg of encouragement. As usual, he doesn’t reply but that’s alright. I look at the black sky and said 2 words before I doze off, Thank God.

Movie Review- Bodyguards and Assassins
Rating- 8.4/10__3.5 stars
Actor Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Leon Lai and Tony Leung stars in one of the greatest movie ever. The plot is to protect someone for an hour, literally one hour. There is no specific main character in the movie, each character has their own scenes, each character has their own story. The fighting scenes aren’t like a typical Chinese movie. It brings us back to the old movies such as Police Story and Once Upon a time in China. Excellent choice of music with fast faced action. However, the only thing is pulls is down is, it gets boring in the first hour. Watch out for the scene where Donnie Yen fights against Cung Le. That scene was awesome. Its been quite a while since I see such a simple and nice plot in a Chinese movie. I can recommend this movie to everyone, not just action fans. Really nomination worthy.

21 July (Wednesday)
Bubble in the Class

I know there are a lot of stupid funny stuff that we do in class. Ahha this is one of them. my friend actually bought a box of bubbles balloon. Well, they used to be very old toys. The part where u use a straw to blow and tada! U get a big bubble balloon! Nvm, I got pic to show you all. Its been a awfully long time since I see one of those stuff before. So we played around in the entire classroom ok. Then we form bubble human using the big bubbles. And yeah, I sucked at blowing bubbles! I cant blow as big as my other friends. So we end up sticking our badly blown bubbles with the big and nice bubbles, lol. Then if we were to separate them, both bubble will tear. Anyway, we did had fun. Later on, we just went for lunch.

we call this, the Human Bubble... with no head!








Movie Review- Evangelion 2.22
Rating- 9.55/10__ 5 stars
This Japanese animation movie wins all animation movies hand down. From the sequel of Evangelion 1.11, I thought the movie is not as engaging as most. Yes true, the effects and graphics are intense and well displayed but I didn’t quite have a mood of the 1st movie. Evangelion 2.22 is about the same storyline as 1.11, kids are brought to control a huge robot called an EVA to defeat ‘Angels’ that have come to destroy Earth. The Angels are also robots but they are corrupted and machines that become reckless. It quite amazing that it takes one angel and destroy Earth. Yet with the EVAs, ten angels failed. However, this second part of the movie, I must say, it is the most captivating and outstanding animation. I have never seen anything so nicely done and presented. The movie is realistic to show, not all heroes live a good life. In fact, they lived worse than humans. Shinji, a boy who was brought to control EVA unit 01 suffers emotionally and physically becos of the Life he was brought up. Some call him EMO, some call him WEIRD, I just call him DEEP. He falls in love with a mysterious girl , Rei, blue-haired girl who is mostly alone. Soon an orange-haired girl, Asuka, came to thought she can act tough and control things by herself. The problem starts with one EVA is corrupted and Shinji is forced to kill his friend. More problems arises when the tenth Angel arrives. People think sequels are normally bad. However, this movie it wrong. The only thing why I truly love the movie is becos feelings when put into a fight becomes spirited and this is one of the few movies who can managed to do that. I love that a hero fights and fights and give all him have. Recommend this movie to everyone to watch!! It should have been awarded Best Film of that Year. Truly worth 5 stars.

Today 4:56 PM

Now
I just love it how the word NOW can mean a lot to me. Its about a few days after Hi Club Camp and I have indeed learnt a lot. I wont go explaining every details cos it will take 10 hrs. lol. Ok there are a couple of things that I super wanna say. I know that u take hrs, days and weeks to plan of something and your plan can just go down the drain within minutes or seconds. Its super frustrating and I have to super decide how or what to do. Im currently blasting the music, At the Cross and You alone are God. Seriously, they are the next 2 fav songs. Apparently I am pretty bad to solving or handling stress. I just shut off myself from the World using Christian music. Maybe it’s the time where I look to God and really let Him in control.

From Hi Club Camp, true its fun and all. But I guess God made me learn quite a lot of things through the camp. First, He taught me that I must now take talking or speech for granted. God kinda showed me how pathetic I am for signing. And the leaders encourage us to sign as we talk. Sign as in Sign language. And since Im so pathetic at signing, my talking is very slow and pathetic too. So after the camp, I was talking to my family and I realized how fortunate I am when I can talk. Look at the Hearing Impaired who must sign every word or letter when they speak, it is really troublesome. We are alr blessed when we can talk even though we have only 1 mouth. Be glad u can talk.

Just to make things interesting. I got love-struck in Hi Club camp!!!! Woohoo!! Hahaha. Ok la, its only a crush, a passing thing. I got freaking distracted during signing lah! And worst, I got it on the first day of camp, so yeah. Cannot keep staring at her!! Its so stupid. She wouldn’t even like me anyway. But overall, it was not a crush. Her personality just curious me. Im not saying that I dislike her. I just don’t like her that crazy, just her personality curious me. So basically, I just want to know her better. That’s all. But don’t worry, I don’t like her now. Fine! Just a little. Haha. Anyway to spoil to you all, well those who are seeing this, she’s not in any group. She in camp comp. haha make a guess!

The next thing, I figured that if u go out with your friends and u don’t put God in the center. The outing just feels kinda weird. Ever got it before? Well, I went out with my pal to watch Takers. And I didn’t exactly put God inside. I mean the outing was fun and all but it just felt something amiss. Its like one piece of the whole magnificent joy is missing. So when I was backing home, I was just reflecting. You know, its so easy to just turn our way and go our own path but it feels meaningless at times. I could have easily daydream and waste my time. So I decided, maybe next outing im gonna starting praying and let God come in again and hopefully to all my Christian friends, I would like to make a prayer before we leave and get back to our own lives. My pal once told me, prayer is very important and I agree with that.

Lastly, when a plan fails and things just don’t go your way. Don’t give up!!! Don’t just say Ai Ya forget it lah! Cos it means you have lost and the problem have take the better of you. I encourage you all, don’t give up. Seek God and get your head straight. Think through first, plan another plan and commit it to the Lord. Let God literally do the rest. But don’t u give up!!! If not, u will always easily give in and grumble at the end of the day. Right now, im still going out with my friends after a major change of plans and many is not coming. Im still going out with the rest cos I did not give in. Thanks to God I can at least still go out with some. Its better than nothing. For all I know, I might just impact these few friends through God.

Miracles Unseen 3:51 PM

16 July (Friday)

Behind the Scenes of a Story with only Pic
In Art & Design, we were suppose to create a story or a video but we can only use pictures and not only that, we can only use 25 – 30 pictures. Sounds impossible? Well, it was nearly that. We re-do our work nearly 3 times. And all the teacher said to us was, ‘‘ this needs work or this is not very nice, go do again’’. We heard that the 4th time and we were alr gonna kill him. True enough it was easier said than done. Cos our actors in the video isn’t free all the time. Pei Ying, classmate, brought a senior friend along which was real good so he can guide me and tell us some hints on Poly Life. So it was raining and yes, a miracle did take place.

At that time, the rain was kinda crazy. And I told God what to do. And indirectly I felt in my heart, prophesize over weather and command it to go away. Omg how on earth am I gonna do that? Prophesize over the weather? Oh pls, God no. I cant do that. How can I do that? But I felt in my heart, ‘ have faith and prophesize over the weather’. I heard from a girl, Sarah who went on stage and quote a bible verse. I forgotten the verse and what chapter and the person but I rmb… it was on the dry bones and God said to the person prophesize over these dry bones and I will give their life to rise again. And the person did and, indeed the dry bones rose back to Life. So back to topic, I think to myself. Yes, the story is quite amazing but how am I gonna prophesize over the WEATHER?!?!

So ok ok ok!! Just do it! So I prophesize over the weather and command it to stop. Yes, I know, I look like a stupid person talk to myself but that was what I did. And then… nothing happened! WTC. Well, so I kept praying over the weather. Then we went to our place and get ready. Our scene was at the toilet so I cant see outside and know if the rain have stopped. So nvm, back to preparing for the shoot. So after we’re done, we went out and went to a deserted office to shoot our next shot. After a few times, okay, we’re done. Then the senior looked out the window and said, ‘woah, thank God. The rain has stopped’.
When I heard those words, I REALLY froze. I try to rmb, when did the rain stopped? Right after we left the toilet, the rain was alr drizzling. Omg. I not only doubt God, I forgotten his work after that prayer. I tell you, I felt so bad about myself how could I, after God have been so good. I know its not so amazing that after I pray, the rain stopped, no. But from a thunderstorm to a drizzle within 45 minutes? Now that’s good enough. So at that time, time seemed to have stopped and there I was, alone with God as everything freezes around. Sorry God for doubting you. Sorry to see the miracle you have performed.

And soon, I was pretty much alone, just talking to God in my heart. We sat down in Makan place to have lunch. Then I saw the senior guy as he brought his food, come to the table and fold his fingers. He prayed. Then I knew one thing for sure, he was a Christian. Well, I guess there is much I have to learn and correct for myself. God, whatever You are gonna teach me. Let me not reject the lesson learnt.

Movie Review- The Last Airbender
Rating- 8.2/10__ 3 stars
From the director of The Happening and The Sixth Sense, M Night has made some good improvement in The Last Airbender. Don’t call it Avatar cos it is nothing compared to James Cameron Avatar. The story talks about an Airbender that can also control the other elements of water, Earth and Fire. Thats why he is called The Avatar. But there is a problem cos he hasn’t learn to master or even trained the other elements yet. The story itself is rather okay but due to poor acting and inexpressive Eng, the movie can become a pain to some. It true, looking at the power of elements is indeed very cool and nice but the rest just stink. The only thing good was good visual effect. The only person who was experienced in acting was the Indian who acted in Slumdog Millionaire. He can act the serious character of Firebender but the sillyness of him, no. the rest, cant even act serious or silly. My family was saying the movie was supposed funny and silly as seen in the animation but in this movie, none or few are shown. The only captivating scene was the rescue of Aang and Earth-benders fighting against Fire-benders in a one-take shot. The movie in fact is very tamed and not much risk is seen inside. I think it’s a movie best left of kids or elderly.
