Awry

all results are finally out and i've updated my previous post on that. now, after such a long time, a poem. :)

Awry
I really miss your love

but you said that i was mean;

the bully, the tyrant of your life,

the worst you've ever seen.

I kicked you in the face

and rubbed sea salt on your wounds.

Not only extinguished the fire of your sun

but also destroyed your moon.

I sneered at my own happiness,

making your stomach churn

so you went off again and

I burned.

I looked at the space where you were gone

and wondered how things could've been so wrong.

final results!

Finally, better grades!

DRaaAAaaMA

Drama. Everyone loves to watch it on TV; everyone likes to see it around them; everyone prays for it to never happen to them. Drama. I was watching "Survivor" yesterday after midnight and i realised that i wasn't really rooting for any team. instead, i was anticipating the drama.

before even talking about the team challenge, lets just talk about the members of the teams. of course, the celibate boy who is trying to get his life together has to be on the same team as the mesmerising girl who offered to climb the tree. the two oldest contestants are put into the same team as the youngest few of the game. the buff guy with the dreads in the same team as the law student with the specs. oh and who can forget the most essential outfit- skin. the guys are mostly topless while the girls replace bikinis or clothes with their lace underwear.

obviously, alliances have to be made on the first day when people don't know each others' true colours yet. so its a potential source of drama, ain't it? if you decided to do something that was not a group consensus decision, you're betraying their trust. and people would be half likely to readily trust the other members. and you will definitely face this kind of situation.

the game. whichever team wins means that they have good team spirit and are happy with each other and their performance. great. so producers will say "good for them. now lets break them up with a prize". hidden immunity. sounds wonderful. so if you find the immunity and not tell your team mates, are you betraying them in a way?

losers. they hardly need the producers to break them up. but what's the fun in watching people stare at each other with cold icy eyes if you dont have a part in the process? so there is a need for the tribal council. go on vote someone out. defend yourself while degrading another so that the others would vote for another instead of you. but that's not all. this could be a strengthening experience because everyone come together to vote a single person out. "so let us not send that person home. let's create redemption island" let that person breed hostility in the group.

and there we, as viewers, have it. commercially-induced natural drama! doesn't this just want to make you feel like watching more?

potential combined concert?

I know I shouldn’t be on the computer right now and should be mugging for my prelims instead. But an idea struck me and I thought that I should pen it down least I forget it. I don’t know if it’s one of the side effects of mugging too much but I’m kind of missing BPGHS a lot! So I thought that may be BP could do like a giant concert featuring all the performing arts!

I mean, we have sports day/ aces day every year, so why not a concert for the performing arts? The performing arts CCAs usually have their own individual concerts but by conducting a combined concert, we can allow 2 or more CCAs to showcase an integrated performance (e.g. the Military Band and Choir or the Chinese Orchestra and Chinese Dance). I know it is not as easy to actually conduct it as to just come up with this idea in the shower, but I am sure we should be able to pull it off. I remember that BP once did the “Beauty and the Beast” musical in 2006, so I know we can do it. we can also call up the alumni of the CCAs to perform too!

Everyone can pitch in. The student council could work with the newly created Alumni committee in the organization. The CCA council could work closely with the organizing team and help in the coordination of their CCA groups. Other students can also offer their help. This way, students receive more opportunities for leadership, participation and service (LEAPS certificate). Moreover, the profits gained from the concert could either help to fund the school or go to charity (I’m saying charity because my class just did a CIP project “Child @Heart” for the Singapore’s Children Society and I found it very meaningful).

Just to be clear, I’m not pressing for anything to happen right now. I’m just putting my idea out there and it is certainly in my to-do list after my A levels. I hope that something may happen out of this. *fingers crossed*
