Wee Bit aimless.
I shall post something today, but it's gonna be a wee bit aimless.
So here I am on a lazy Sunday afternoon at home, doing... this. Of course, there are a million better things I could do. WHY would be a good question. I don't know.
Oh hey I recently received $30 worth of Takashimaya vouchers and so I hurriedly went over to Orchard and I found myself a new Converse bag pack! I think it's really nice. It's gray. Or grey - whichever. And just after that I went over to watch The White Knight. Great show, guys! I'm speaking of Val and Gabriel. And Dwayne.
My brother just got a smashing new phone, cos his Samsung went screwey. Man, it's touch screen and it's got WI FI and 8GB memory, and it uses a universal headphone jack! It's so cool. Nokia. Well, as for myself, I am still happy to be using my Cybershot phone. Even after sending it for repair once, and dropping it into a cup of luke warm water. And dropping it a million times. but it still works fine as my phone, and my Music Player.
Speaking of wants, this year people actually found it hard thinking of what to get me as a gift. So much that they had to directly ask me (YES TIMOTHY, I'M SPEAKING OF YOU) what I wanted. And I didn't have anything to say.
For next year, you have a few choices! :)
1. Organizer. A really good and functional stylish one. For next year, of course.
2. Vouchers. Shopping vouchers to really cool places. Topman, I like. HINT HINT.HINT!!!!!!!!!!
3. Actually, that's about it lah. I can't think of anything else. HAHAHA I'm being so self indulgent.
Well, that's all the time in one weekend I have to be self indulgent. I'll see you people soon. I hope.
And as for dear Timothy, we'll see you next year :)

Warning: I will not be held liable for any lost kidneys or a cardiac arrest resulting from a laughing fit.

Thinking of Thoughts
It's the holidays now and it's probably the most un-fun one I've had in a long time. And I think it's only about to get worse. And to top it all off, it's the last holidays I'll have to enjoy till after the A levels, which happens in a year's time.
I could write a list of things I have to get done, but that would be a waste of time.
Today I finally returned to school and met with some of my pool of regular company. I found that the weekend has desensitized me to the norms of social interactions. It took me a while to regain my balance between inner monologues and my facial/verbal facades. Sorry Sophie if I was being really awkward in the morning. Or throughout the day, for the matter. I know how people find me weird and all. TSK. You better start repenting your sins or I will make your OG pay! ROAR.
I want money. Anyone got extra?
HEY! Would it not be extravagant if we were to have a TSD trip to Broadway??? Haha it wouldn't be one bit beneficial for A Levels, but it would be really really cool. Hee, I'm gonna share with you something I recently watched (in Singapore) and fell deeply in love with. OH CRAP Embedding was unabled. Okay here's the link, if you're interested.

It's a really good musical number from the 1995 Broadway version of Victor/Victoria called Le Jazz Hott. The one in Singapore had a really similar routine, but with a better set. And a jazzier singer (Laura Fygi). But I love it because it's so true to the style of Broadway! :)

Thinking of Thoughts about Theatre
I think the experience I had Front-of-Housing for Zebra Crossing Productions at Victor/Victoria has further ignited my burning, itching, overwhelmingly dire passion for Theatre and Broadway. That's right. Broadway.
I don't know how and why, but I find myself jittery with this tingly feeling every time I watch a Broadway show. And it follows a week of the same tingly feeling, with the thirst to keep singing the songs and raving on about the whole show. But anyways that's how my mind works.
But what if there were a Broadway in Singapore?
I would be there already. BUT NO. Not in the near future anyways. So there it goes.
Hm, come to think of it, my passion for theatre goes back to Primary Two. Not so long ago. And before that I never dreamed of doing anything related to theatre. Well, every year in Primary school we'd do a huge fairy tale play. There was The Little Mermaid, The Prince and The Peppercorn, Rumpelstiltskin and then there was Cinderella. VS didn't give me a role in Sec one, so I was crewing for SYF. And then I did a soap opera style drama in Sec Two. IP one I crewed for Dramanight 2007. IP2 I was Lionel in Roadrunners. And here I am in J1. Well, I was the old man who choked on peas in our musical. The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane. If you didn't catch it, I tell you now, you missed out a great show. And it was a landmark for us, as we watched V.Actors transform into today's Dramatic Society.
And the story continues. Just in case you're wondering, I'll be co-directing SYF Drama 2010 with the amazing Sophie Chew.

Camp Smoke Initiative
Okay I'm back from CSI Camp! :)
What a great 2.5 days. Well-spent facilitating a camp for youngsters. Lovely bunch. Sincerely, I would like to thank Bryan and the organising committee Shayne, Jean, Jolene, Siang Yee for an opportunity to work with you people! Great Job.
Played captain's ball with a sotong. Got sunburned. Deprived of sleep. Put on a play within one night. Pulled off the facilitators' dance. Go NingXin! :) And I managed to pull off a skit, being the mad scientist with a clapper.
Photos should be up on facebook soon.
Anyways, I still can't get over Victor/Victoria! :D It's all-in-all a really great show and I like the songs and the dance routines and the sets and the costumes and everything. Hooked on the song 'Victor Victoria' which is the finale song. Great way to end the show with a big bang. Well, this happens every time I watch a musical anyways. A few days (or weeks) I get hooked on the themes and the songs. And the whole razzle dazzle.
Oh by the way, I'm apparently emceeing orientation. Heee :)

Timeline
This site was established during the first term break 2007!
Titled after the writer, the site started as a collection of selected videos by the writer. Therefore, it revolved around the theme of 'Music Makes the World Go Round', depicting the importance of music in the writer's life.
In the middle of term3 of 2008, the Site name was changed to 'Framed'. With the caption of 'find the limelight', the site evolved into a journal of photos which show the literal viewpoints of the writer. Also, the use of words has been increased, describing the thoughts and happennings in the life of the writer. Still, the site promises to share music and videos worth watching.
On the last day of 2008, this site has been renamed to 'Back Stage', which represents the importance of theatre in the life of the writer.
In September 2009, the post was retitled "I Can Blog" to encourage the author in his miserable absurdist life.
