The Letters Crusade

You know what? When you feel like you are having writer's block and got nothing to talk about, out of no where, something pop out and once again you have something to write about.




I thought my life would be flat and dull after I came back for holiday, FULL with HOMEWORK. Of course, yumcha session is a must but you rarely talk about them except something funny or interesting happened that worth to blog about.

Today, something extraordinary happened, something supernatural. Oh, do I sounds like sharing a ghost story? Fear not, it would be something more amazing!

He was gift given by my friends during my last year's birthday. His fashion taste is simple, black and white is his favorite. He wears shirt that has numbers on it. The most interesting part about him is, he keeps a special black cat called Puma.

Puma is a very hyperactive cat. It always moving around non-stop, it has a weird interest that it likes to move in a fixed circular shape (locus). Every second, you could see Puma moving.


After a year long and half, it still moving.


But today, Puma suddenly acting weird. It went off from its home and decided not to move anymore again for the rest of its life time. Perhaps, Puma feels that it is time for it to retired from this endless journey. And so it goes and never return~



I feel like I'm writing a fiction that perhaps none of you understand what the hell am I talking about.

To make it simple,



My watch malfunctioned!! Can't really say that it was malfunctioned, because it was just the second ticker that spoiled. The watch is still functioning, except I don't get to see the second ticker turning.





OYEAH!! It's this freaking second ticker that I'm talking about all waaaaay long! The cat figure will turn as second passes and by the way, its Puma brand! XD






So sad that the 'cat' resigned from its job. I can no longer witness as the seconds tick away. And now, my world goes by MINUTES!!



O M F G.

Ever wonder what will you feel when you fall sick? And even worse, its your exam week!



During the last week (for 2009) I stayed in KBU hostel, a thought suddenly came up in my mind.

Monologue, "Dude, you didn't fall sick for nearly 5 consecutive months! And after this week you will hit 5 months of immunity!! KUDOS!!"


'You talk/think about something, that particular thing happens!!' translated from a mandarin cliche.


On last Tuesday evening, I started to feel unwell, didn't have appetite and sweating on my neck. The day after is Malaysian Studies exam!! Yeah yeah~ I know, that you hardly failed this subject given that you excel in internal part. But, still you gotta be fit to sit the exam also (it carries half the mark!) However, what I worried the most is IELTS!!

Mannnn.. I was like, "Wtf man!! Early no sick, late no sick, want exam ady you only want to sick!!"


OMG, that night I was sooooo afraid. Afraid of really falling sick on the next day. For the whole night, I couldn't sleep well, with sweat around my neck. Rolling here and there on the bed. The longest night I've spent. The whole night was like a war of mental. One side is the afraid of getting sick, another is the determination of holding on till the end of the week saying, "by hook or by crook, you are going to hold on till IELTS ends!!"


I survived on the next day. I didn't have fever whatsoever. But still, there's something wrong with my stomach. I don't have appetite.

On the 2nd night, I managed to get a somehow better sleep. Still, there's a slightly unwell feeling but the Moral exam next day was okay.


Jeng jeng jeng jeng!! The next day will be the IELTS Speaking test. The night before that day, I couldn't sleep well again due to stomach growling. (as mentioned, I'm hungry but I don't have appetite to eat) As last resort, I woke up at 6.30am and stuffed myself a bread and milo and then sleep back. I don't know maybe because I straightaway sleep after eating, on the next day, my stomach gone worse. =.=

My time of speaking was at 1.50pm and I need to go there 45 minutes before that. So, i tried to have my lunch with bread again and milo. This is the time that I completely lost my appetite. I bite a bit of the bread and straightaway the stomach 'oppose' it. I ended up drinking milo only as my lunch.

Luckily, I managed to perform normally in the test. =)


On that night, I finally phoned my parents and told them about my condition. They asked me to buy ENO and drink. Maybe because it was the excessive 'wind' inside my stomach that cause me to have no appetite even though I was hungry. I followed their advice and my appetite was recovering bit by bit. And I thought that by tomorrow, I will recover completely!!



I was wrong.



The last day. The day of IETLS exam. The weather in the morning was sooo damn cold and gloomy. It was like a mobile aircond following you walking around!! Although my stomach is better now, my body started to gone to the worst state.

While waiting to queue up for registration to enter the exam hall, I started cold sweating(feeling of cold and hot at the same time) and then my face started shivering!! OMG, I was damn afraid that if I continue to be like this during the exam, gone lah my IELTS.... HANCUR!!


However, my condition started to ease after sitting and waiting inside the hall for a period of time. And by the time the exam starts, I am in my 75% condition. (really not considered as 100%, still have slightly unwell feeling which was the best result I get for holding on.)





2 hour and 45 minutes.....






PASSED!!!



I MANAGED TO SURVIVED TILL THE END OF THE IELTS!!!


Oh my god, I really can't believe myself that I actually made it! To have hold on myself for not falling sick and finish the exam, I made it!!



But come to think of it, I still couldn't find the reason why I will feel unwell and had no appetite out of a sudden. Is it because of food poisoning? Or is it because I worry too much of falling sick in exam period?



Well, I guess that's not important anymore. Because.....




I'm back to my hometown!!

Now only I understand the power of a home. It gives you the support, the feeling of secure, the warmth and the power to overcome any hardships!!

Ello Decembah~!!

Let me recall back my memories. It was 3 years ago since the last time I performed on top of the stage, I mean sketch. That was during the IU Camp 2006 held by our school Interact Club. Neah, it was nothing great to remember about. I act as a bull. To be exact, a skinny, boney bull. My job was to run like hell back and fro on the stage to bang a matador. In that sketch also, I act as a thief. My total showtime is less than 2 minutes I think. Typical calefe~ (part-time actor)




Until year 2009, our Moral studies required us to work on a presentation. We are given options on what we are going to present: Forum, Debate or Sketch. Duh, forum and debate are so boring... So, in the end, our group choose to perform a sketch. To my surprise, we are the only group that chose sketch. No competition?


GREAT.



In the story, I acted as a very childish boy, Robert who knows nothing but playing and fooling around!! His mom, Nyonyo who was very rich but doesn't have any grandchildren to play with, so she decided to find a wife for Robert. Robert likes Priya, his only childhood girl friend, but Priya don't, because he was too childish. So, Robert decided to change. After a long hard process of changing, he finally turned into a real man. He proposed to Priya and they live happily forever.

Sounds like a typical fairy tale to you, right?

Now why is this entry titled "A Stunning Breakthrough"?


Because...







In the sketch, I had to dressed up like this,

So, i ended up like this,






At first, when Dao Zhen decided that I will be the one casting Robert, I accepted. (weii.. main actor weih.. its time for me to SHINE~!!! XD) Then after he handed me the possible outfit for Robert as displayed above, I was like, "Noooo way~ This is C R A Z Y!!"


But come to think of it, I have never ever been into such kind of "devastating" performance. This is a golden chance(..to SHINE!!). "So, why don't I give it a try?"


The plot line is basically, fully completely tarnish my personal image as DISASTROUS as possible in almost 75% of the whole story. And try my best to freaking build up my image as high as Taiwan 101 during the ending. (After I completely changed)


See how EXTREME this drama was!! And this is also one of the reasons why I decided to cast Robert. Call me extremist whatever, I just like seeing myself giving the audience a bloody surprise of the year!!


During the 1st time practising, I need to sorta like "cultivating" childish personality inside me. The best part is, every time after finished practising one scene, I will then quickly turn into a normal guy. WOW!! I enjoyed this kind of feeling so much!! To switch between two characters in a blink of an eye~ A word of advice, try this at your own risk!! Overdoing it and you had schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder, don't come and find me.

However, its worth a try! =)



After few times of practising, sometimes I will add in more funny gestures or actions and all my group members will be laughing so hard and that's what keeps me going!!

In the end, with great effort of practising, all of us managed to pull it out a wonderful show!! Since that day was the last lecture of Moral, for me, our sketch somehow looks like a curtain call for the 4-months Moral class. Everybody was laughing throughout the show and I strongly believe that all of them were having a great time watching us performing.



This is the main reason that motivates me to perform. I really enjoy entertaining people, after all, life's harsh. You don't want to be like after all the day long of working and then suddenly a friend come to you and complain how his/her life sucks from the beginning till the end of the conversation.



To entertain people, oh my holy task~~ Perhaps I should go for entertainment field.
