A blog in the wee hours

I shall attempt to complete this blog in less than 10 minutes..
Mugging Month
5.15am.. and I just returned from Sheares Library.. all ready to sleep.. and wake up again in 2 hours time for breakfast.. then try to do my tutorials for later.. Yes.. 1 more month to the exams.. and it's time to mug again. Lotsa to stuff to mug like last sem.. but it's kinda better coz most modules have Mid-terms interspersed so I was like forced to study a bit of everything throughout the year.. not like last year where I totally didn't know what the hell was happening for some subjects.
Contemplating not going home this weekend to officiate the Mugging Month.
Last burst of fire before leaving for exchange (I hope)
Debut Emceeing
Thanks to Shyuan for the offer.. I was invited to emcee in a somewhat public event at Nanyang Community Centre for a Children's Chinese Dance Performance.. Though I didn't think I did it very well (for a 1st timer).. It was a thrilling learning experience.. from my partner who is more experienced (though she's the same year as me in SMU) and has great vocal skills.
"So you want to run through a script or something?" I asked.
"No need la. Impromptu lor. Very relaxed one."
Whoa I was stunned for a while. Impromptu shouldn't be a problem for me.. but the problem was I had to emcee in CHINESE!! Though we agreen on she doing the Chinese parts while I handled the English portions.. in the end both of us hosted the whole show in Chinese all the way coz I found it weird to answer her in English whenever she asked me in Chinese.
(I did it with Shyuan for CNY Dinner but that was all SCRIPTED)
At the end of the day there was this CC member who holds Effective Emceeing courses at NACLI that came up to us and offered us some pointers.. proved immensely useful. And I guess certain stuff like partner rapport, stage control and articulation are stuff I have to take note more of next time (if i get the chance).
Well.. at least I got my profile started.
Stunner
The latest stunner in Hall is none other than
"DND is good for matchmaking. Celestial was all about Kenny and jy."
I thought is was another Kenny-Yiyu related joke until it was confirmed by the rest of the world during dinner just now. Even the DnD members didn't know about that.. Really a shocker there haha!!
Think it was so much a shocker Kenny himself couldn't answer some of our questions.. only with "like that lor" as the most common answer to all our questions. And hoi! You haven't told us what's your finishing move/line?? Haha.
But still.. it was kinda sweet feeling seeing stupid ol' Kenny dapaoing fries and nuggets in a red plastic bag and smiling away as he walked away (to we all know where now). Was telling Weijie that at the end of all the shock I really feel happy for him.
And so the moral of the story is..
Every dog will have it's day.
