Emcee/Public Speaking IDP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaQV69fUVTY

If you take a look at the Youtube link, that guy in the video is my instructor for emceeing. He is HILARIOUS. And his tips are damn good. He's helped me to improve like crazy. I can now actually crack jokes, albeit lame ones, in front of people. :D Totally glad I joined this course. Met many awesome fellow JJcians who are very good at this business :)
This Friday Fuxuan and I, we're a pair, we'll be doing an actual emcee speech for Mr Rishi to judge :) Hope it turns out well. He purposely gave us the Informal script to get us out of our comfort zone. I'm obviously better at formal xD
Kaay, shall go and prepare for tomorrow's lesson! :)

Life in All it's glory

Life hasn't been really good these days. For one, I can't find time to hang out with friends. For example, I haven't seen much of An and Judy and Fuxuan these days. Secondly, tomorrow, ACSI's guitar orchestra would be performing and I wanted to go and watch. Much to my displeasure, none of my friends can make it. TT So what do you want me to do? Go alone? Forget it. :( Thirdly, I don't know where I stand with some of my friends.
Honestly, artistic people are seriously misunderstood. TT
Oh well, must go study/do homework now. So that I can sleep early. Yesterday I slept at 1.30 >< Was chatting with someone :)

Acapella Championships 2012 @ SP

After the PinkDot event, Quan had invited Chin and I to go watch his group, Pitch Please, perform at the Acapella Championships at SP. We both eagerly agreed. Even though the tickets cost $25 each! So yesterday Chin and I went, we met up with Yvonne first. :) An and Justin were a bit late, they missed Quan's performance :( But I took a video of it for them.
I was screaming my head off for like, the whole concert! THEY WERE SO DAMN GOOD. The $25 was totally worth it! :D I was eargasming during the whole concert! :O
Some of the songs the various groups sang: Call Me Maybe, Payphone, Telephone, Uptown Girl, Titanium, We Are Young, Somebody that I used to Know, Hey Jude, You and I, etc. :)Awesome I tell you :)
And although Quan's group only got a bronze, they are really good too! Maybe just that the others were better ><
But the thing I liked best about Pitch Please is their attitude/personality and their choreography. :) Win the Gold next year yea? :D Don't be upset, you guys did your best! :))

Quan's voice is seriously amazing. I can't get over it. There was this part he sang in Titanium that is damn high and damn nice. :) You go Quan!

PinkDot 2012!

Hey! So if you're reading this post you most likely also know that I have been to PinkDot 2012 which took place just yesterday :) Had Bengali school in the morning, and then met up with Chin at 3 plus to go to Clark Quay to meet up with the rest of the drama people. Namely, An, Justin, Nurul. Nurul brought her BF along too :) How sweet ^^
From the moment we stepped out, everything was pink, pink, and more pink. Just like the name suggests. Basically, PinkDot is a movement which wishes to give Gay/lesbian/transgenders in Singapore equal rights. To go out in public holding hands just like any other couple. To get married even :) Saw someone holding a board that says "After all, we pay the same taxes as everyone else". Most of the straight people who went are Bi-curious or has at least one family member/friend who swings that way. I went cause of the latter reason of course. Not planning to swing that way anytime soon.
But, the problem now is that, I am a Christian and the Bible is against it and everything but I dunno...I am not advocating "gayism" I just wanted to see how the event would be organised etc. And Adam Lambert, my idol, is gay too. TT
I am on a neutral stand. So ya. Here are some pictures:

Chin took this photo of himself 'cause I insisted photos turn out better when you take it by yourself :)
He was trying to act cute xD

Pink balloons everywhere, this was the sight that greeted us when we reached Clark Quay. That's Hong Lim park btw :) There was free food AND drinks and hot gay guys walking around :( why must u be gay? :(

Justin on the left, An on the right. Candid shot. Justin was like "Mother of God" when he saw this. xD Justin was dressed like a cowboy and An was dressed like a Sailor. :) They're obviously enjoying themselves eh? :) In the second picture, An made that Takoyaki look so damn good, I couldn't help but try one later on xD

Nurul and her boyfriend. The first shot is candid, the 2nd one is posed. :) Lovely and sweet couple. May God bless them and may they stay strong! :)

The PinkDot stage where the concert took place :) It looks a bit like "Pink CLOT" doesn't it? xD

The mouth-watering Takoyaki *drool* Ignore the dirty background, we are teens what do you expect? :D

What a picturesque scene eh? Except the occasional Lemon Tea bottle and plastic bag xD 

Chin with Balloon! ^^

Chin and I both agree that there is NO other way we would've rather spent our Saturday afternoon and night

An, Yvonne and Justin :) An says he loves this shot! Yay! :) Candid of course, I take most pics secretly :)

Thank goodness it didn't rain! There were 15000 of us, and only about 1000 of us had shelter! :)

I thought Zining was gonna come for this thing but in the end she didn't. :O An brought two friends along, Lin and Quan. Omg, Quan is such a fun and ncie guy. :D Like An and Justin. They hit off really well and at the end of the concert, the real party started. They danced like crazy! :D Yvonne and Nurul too :) Chin and I were a bit awkward cus we've never danced randomly in front of people before! xD *shame-shame* 

I need dance classes from Quan. Enough said. :D

Anyways, An left like, earlier than us cause he has a curfew. Justin and Yvonne went to get Koi together and the rest of us went home. :) Nurul and her Bf seperated from us cause we had to use the washroom. Us being, Chin, Lin, Quan and I. 

So the four of us went home, chatting all the way. :) Quan was so friendly I could talk to him with my eyes closed xD Exaggerating here but proof that he is friendly? When Chin invited him to join me and himself at JE library today to study, he actually came! :) And to think we met him just yesterday xD

Here are some pics of him. He is from ACSI btw :)

The sunlight outside was glaring so can't see them. HAHA! But the backdrop is cool eh? Ps. We are at Jcube, wanted to show him around cus he hangs out in the east more and has never been to Jcube! 

I didn't wanna take any photos of myself but he insisted so I gave in. :) 

First successful photo with someone whereby I don't look that unglam (Y)

Moral of the story: One simply should socialize more and go to events like Pinkdot. ^^

Tmr gonna go study with Wang Ru, Chin and An at Centrepoint :) Need to wake up damn early >< Anyways, can't believe An agreed to meet random strangers :O Hope he doesn't feel akward man *prays* Too bad Quan not going tmr, he has to study for his exams :/ Jiayous to him! :)

Shit, mom saw the pic above and is asking me who is the boy. Hahaha! Lots of explaining to do TT Nights! Looking forward to tmr! :)

{Ps. Met my classmate Xiao Tian today too, at JE library, but she didn't come to Jcube with us}
