and here i am, back now, in a considerably better? or rather indefinable mood as i sit here under a flickering light typing in a post. forget the past and everything that happened beforehand, ah never mind.
isnt it sad and ironic that the memories you need to lose the most are the memories you keep the longest? the memories you will never forget? and on the other hand, there are those other pointless memories like my childhood ones, which i remember in great detail, like when i was going up the eiffel tower, or when i used to line up toy cars against the wall, or even when back in kindergarten, when the teacher in france was asking us all what drinks we'd like, i proudly said 'johnny walker black label'..and back in the singapore kindergarten when everyone would race to finish first at colouring...i would grab the crayon and squiggle a few times on the paper and shove it right back at my teacher, whilst other kids did the same.
in two weeks however, a huge chapter of my considerably long 16 year old life (yes, sixteen years is quite a lot, considering that a butterfly lives on the average 2 weeks, and dogs, 12 to 18 years. i will leave raffles institution, skip the grad night dinner (cmon lah! after the o's you gotta have better things to do man..i wanna be found dead in an alley!) and then proceed to a junior college, a totally new and exciting prospect...although it is wrenching to leave raffles institution.its leaving behind so many memories, but not necesarilly people, although what pains me the most is leaving behind the raffles players, in which i have been involved for four years..from that first time in sec one when i joined 02 scouts and met jireh in the same patrol (the gods knew this! it was FATE.) to when ms quah said she was scrapping the scene i was playing in, and said i could do lights (and i was so disappointed i dint attend), and then on to drama camp..haha remember that alvis guy? that flatulent bastard? ha..and how we felt so sorry for him eating alone that we joined him..and how there was animal farm, and i played snowball, and i met my bro hulin, and christian and i were always having these arguments (all in good fun)..and amogh and jireh were around, and azizul just joined and did lights, when i was no longer the only sec 2 in the raffles players. then dramafeste, that night which completely turned everything around, cos jireh told me some very important things that night...and when we got fifth i was so angry, i told myself that someday wed win first..someday id win that best actor award. never happened though. sec 3 dramafeste cancelled for sars, sec 4 i was banned. ha, sec 2 rehearsals were fun, cos we had hadri (who was my closest rp friend ever, with probably the exception of hulin) and kenneth, and matin and jireh and azizul..and on to sec 2 drama camp, as we then went to sec 3, and got our long pants! i still remember telling hadri to fail his o's in sec 4 so that hed stay back with us. sec 3..visitors to kenny hill, in which i played sudin..who had three lines..but how we improvised huh? three lines became three paragraphs ;)
"look dad, they even have a roof!"
"look dad, theyre wearing clothes! we only get to wear our clothes for friday prayers.."
and ms quah telling me to make use of my big eyes (theyre not big, theyre normal sized and noticeable cos of the lashes. i have a particular fascination for the eyes..i could stare into a beautiful pair of eyes for hours, like how i used to look into someone elses eyes all the time. eye contact is very important. then for us and them, i was made lights, for which i was very unhappy about, because i was made to memorise the lines of the main part (played by chengchai), perfect them, and teach them to him one by one. at first, he was very bad, but he was quite eager to learn, and good ol' calvin pulled through and did a great job. in the end we got silver cos benuel clicked the mouse at the wrong time, and a slideshow came out too early.
remember johnathan winston seagull? and remember that cancer show?
but i cannot say goodbye..(and the song ended this way. but knowing hulin and zul and i, we added some lines)
but i cannot say goodbye...
goodbye...
goooooooooooodbyyyyyyyyye....ha. sounded so tom jones.
its not unusual to be loved by anyone
then the sec 3 drama camp...which was combined. and then i hit 75 kg, and was so utterly disgusted i stopped eating and went down to sixty in 3 months (you dont have to sistah, your not fat.try pleasantly plump..naw, kidding, kidding, your fine as you are).
then came sec 4..and sing to the dawn, which i was asked to student direct by ms quah, and it was a great success, and i dont have to say anything about it, because i dont think i can put it in words anymore. and after that..we left the raffles players. i met so many people in rp, but the most important have, and will always be us three ('the power of three will set you free!') hul zul and meeee :)
and all the great times, and auditions...
