It's the tiny lies I tell For you to please You to please
I love Broadway musicals. They are so. Epic. Rent is fantastic. (And actually so is Wicked, but I said that before.) Going to download the movie and see how much it differs.
I'm annoying my sister by playing songs from Rent over and over again.
...
And since she's getting annoyed I'm switching from playing Tango: Maureen over and over again to No Good Deed. Well.
Why do finales always make me sad. ): Or more like, why ARE finales always sad?
... Rent is downloading at a speed averaging about 350kB/s which is. Fast. For my connection.
[/edit: GREASE.
Also, I know I've said this before, but the female part of the chorus of No Day But Today sings two notes! C# and G# and it must be ridiculously straining on the vocal chords.]

But you build your own paradise
I love the feeling of being in love with a piece of music because. Oh
geez it is that awesome seriously! It's like, everytime you play it you get breathless because you've expended so much energy on the dynamism and everything and that is the wonderful thing about music. And closing your eyes and playing and feeling the music wash through you and no matter how simple it is you can just play it over and over and over again and it is just. Beautiful. And
yes I know I'm rambling but well. There is something magical about the feel of running your fingers over the keys of a organ, or the strings of a ukulele. And the smoothness of drawing a bow over the strings of a double bass, the texture of a wood ocarina.
Damn it, geog.
[/Edit:
I love Wicked. I love the songs. Seriously, What Is This Feeling is just. Hilarious.
Both: There's been some confusion for you see my room mate is...
Glinda: Unusually-and-exceedingly-peculiar-and-all-together-quite-impossible-to-describe.
Elphaba: Blonde.
And everytime Elphaba deadpans "Blonde" I just. Die laughing.
Glinda: For your face!
Elphaba: Your voice.
Glinda: Your clothes!
Both: Let's just say, I loathe it all.
The best part is just like. Elphaba deadpanning everytime she needs to 'say' something.
Still, Elphaba: 2, Glinda: 0.
Wicked is fantastic.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH AUTOGRAPH SESSION WAS TODAY. Going to youtube yesterday's event! Guys, I am
insanely jealous of those people who went! D:
Also, Chemicalxyz, I am extremely, extremely envious of you. Seriously. A random meeting + autographs + a hug (nah I don't personally want it though)! Seriously? I am just like. Eh. You are lucky. I'm sure Chibi and Gloria are jealous too.]

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
- Super Trouper, ABBA
Seriously, not to be mean, but.
You asked for it, now take it, leave, and shut the hell up. And stop complaining and rubbing it in our faces, yes? there's only so much we can stand before we actually start slapping you.
This is ridiculous and retarded because, well, I'm laughing at something which I shouldn't be laughing it, and I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.
I need to breathe and move on, maybe. So I can do other retarded things? Yes, I suppose so.
... TODAY IS JADEWORLD CARNIVAL. Hell, I suddenly want to jump on a one-hour (hopefully!) flight to Australia and try to get there before it ends (because it ends at four).
Yesterday was the last inconvo of the year, I will miss inconvo for the rest of the year. Very, very, much. Maybe it's been so slack I've never really noticed it, but I was just thinking about things when it just hit me. Next year, we're going to be the ones sending out emails. We'll be the ones arranging and organizing everything. Spreading the message.
And then next year we'll share dinners, and perhaps if we have time between setting up and inconvo we'll sit around and talk with the
seniors juniors about stuff and laugh and basically, do the dumbest things we're known for.
Then forum starts, and we rush to get things done. And we sit there and take notes and laugh along with the
sec4s rest of our batch at the things the speakers say. Then it's refreshments, then it's over. We put everything back into place. And we congratulate each other on a job well done. Then we go outside to see what's left of the refreshments, then we share it out between us again.
...And repeat.
Like so many other things. Routine, repeat, recall, redo.
We have no choice, I say. No choice. I believe... we should never have to do anything like that again.
Oh better days, come.
Of things to say and things to do.
Of items of intrigue, of interest.
...
Give me dances of joy.
I intend on teaching myself Greek and Latin, and maybe Russian. Though, can you imagine this? If I ever major in engineering:
1: Oh, you're an engineering major too! What did you minor in?
2: Let me guess, -list of science topics-
Me: Nope, Greek studies.
And people will give me odd looks.
...if only minoring in Greek was actually possible in Singapore, :/.
Diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades.
Diamonds, clubs, hearts, spades.
Repeat.
In Chinese.
In Cantonese.
Back to English.
Numb yourself, and if that doesn't work -
Repeat until it does.
This is hilarious. It's so hilarious it's actually physically painful, shucks.

It must have been cold there in my shadow
Nah, I am not going to give a damn, you hear?
Not at all.
Telling myself that.
On a secondary note,
...
I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED, YEH.
Writing always makes me feel accomplished but hellzyeah this is one of the best things I've ever written I think I WANT TO CRY OHGOODNESS IT IS SO. BEAUTIFUL. Not just praising myself but oh
seriously I love it so much I wish I could hug it. It's like, infinitely better than my commonwealth essay (and within word limit), but WELL that's because I don't have a plot (it's mainly character wise? Or it could just be the topic that doesn't need a plot), and also because it's so much more informal but I still love it anyway. Perhaps I should handwrite it and frame it up, haha.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
And I, I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

你赠我太多见闻 拿不走的热吻
I'm honestly disgusted.
How could you do this?
It looks like I've overestimated you.
浮沙满地 沉重的传奇
沙粒极重 任她浸没眼眉
忘记道理 忘不了亦会别离
在你掌心之中刻上自己
宁愿以后只可分享半滴吻
忘记昨日今天不必要热吻
[/edit: Also, I'll try to make it for Starhub event next year, man. I just hope they get in people who I like. Not to say that I dislike Wayne/Shirley/Linda, but seriously, Michael Tse gets on my nerves so much.]

I'm sitting in here in a boring room
I AM SO AMUSED.
Seriously.
When Vincent SMSed a 300+ word message to Nancy about how they should play Carson and Ah Sze in GMG.
He sent it in Chinese.
Because apparently, Nancy's terrible at English.
And he didn't want to say it to her face to face because he thought it'd be awkward. Granted, but seriously, it's still amusing either way. And how he tried to talk to her after filming the first few times by saying that they should talk over
herbal tea (and he said he'd treat her).
Also, I just saw the word 靚 used in a textual setting.
