Heyheyz! Yes I'm blogging again. Dunno how much time this will cost me budden.. haha.
BB activities have been suspended for exams liao, but BS is still being held, with study parades held after that. I attended the BS yesterday, even though I knew I had a tight schedule. I had to go to Dinesh's house to plan the script, make the props for the Romeo n Juliet recording later in the afternoon. Haha. But I still insisted on going for BS. I felt that God still deserved my time, and no one or nothing was more important than Him.
As it turns out, it wasn't really BIBLE STUDY perse, but more of a discussion about GAC. It began with Nehemiah, when we studied how he reacted to opposition in building the wall, and we applied it to the planning of GAC. There were many unseen problems which were present, which many of us did not realize. The main concern was that the guild system would break up our cohort's unity, which was important, not onli for GAC, but also when we became Admin. In order not to have a repeat of the segregation of our Seniors' batch, we had to think of ways to solve the problem – fast. We basically brainstormed on how the GAC should be held, an effective structure for the company appointments etc. It was still VERY God-centred, contrary to what you may think. There was NO way we could solve the GARGANTUAN problem which faced us, so we prayed continually for guidance throughout the discussion. At the end of it, we came up with several solutions, which although did not COMPLETELY solve the problem at hand, REDUCED it significantly. Praise the Lord.
I didn't stay for the Study Parade after that, and rushed straight to Dinesh's house. I reached Tanah Merah around 1215, and it was around 1300 when I finally reached his house. Stupid la. So deep in never get someone to pick us up. Then he got bike never bring one for me, make me run all the way there. Haha. I was dog tired by the time I ended up there. Aha. We also recced for a suitable place which could resemble a tomb. In the end, we only had 1 hour or so before the rest of the group came. We brainstormed on possible ways to make the script original, to not much avail. In the end, we settled for inserting the fight scene Sankaran wrote and just minor modifications here and there. Sian la. I think we'll fail the originality part.
Soon John arrived, and shortly after Dinesh fetched him Elisa called. Haha. SPORTING SPARKY who agreed to help me out. *muackz* love u loads. Haha. So we went to the park we decided on, and began filming.
I was useless la. Due to the SHORT notice given to me, I din noe whether I was to memorise Romeo's or Balthasar's lines. As a result, I had difficulty memorizing Romeo’s longlong speech at the opening of the scene. Haha.
How oft when men are at the point of deathHave they been merry! which their keepers callA lightning before death: O, how may ICall this a lightning? O my love! my wife!Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yetIs crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,And death's pale flag is not advanced there.Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?O, what more favour can I do to thee,Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twainTo sunder his that was thine enemy?Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet,Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believeThat unsubstantial death is amorous,And that the lean abhorred monster keepsThee here in dark to be his paramour?For fear of that, I still will stay with thee;And never from this palace of dim nightDepart again: here, here will I remainWith worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, hereWill I set up my everlasting rest,And shake the yoke of inauspicious starsFrom this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O youThe doors of breath, seal with a righteous kissA dateless bargain to engrossing death!Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!Thou desperate pilot, now at once run onThe dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!Here's to my love!
We kept doing take after take la. First it was because sparks couldn’t resist laughing, then, I forgot my lines. Then it was John laughing in the background. Haha. We did it like 10 times I think. =X but elisa was good la. She more or less got the group together. Ha! Cos we were like playing a fool la. I have to admit, we would NEVER have completed the recording w/o her. Haha. Better stop, or someone will get big-headed. J
So we continued, with not much problems for Dinesh's/John's scene. John is a great dramatist man. Haa. He's so damn funny when he's acting. Haha. His false accent and all.
Then it came to the last part, where our great and fair Juliet finally has her lines. I think she was the best actor la, but I may have been biased, so dun feel too happy yet! Haha. But she wasn’t bad la. But we still did the scene a few takes.
What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly dropTo help me after? I will kiss thy lips;Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,To make die with a restorative.
Kisses him
Thy lips are warm.
No.. We DID NOT kiss. Haha. I know you SO wanted to la. But nvm, there will always be another chance. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (She's so gonna kill me the next time she sees me la, but nvm.)
And this is my favourite part: "O happy dagger, this is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die." It was real fun saying the "O happy dagger" part with a semi-snarl/smile la, dunno how to describe, but u just needed to hear it. haha.
That was the last part of the recording. We brought back the props to Dinesh’s house, and later we went home. I walked Elisa like half her journey home, before it started raining, and I had to run back to the shelter of the MRT station. Had a real interesting conversation with her along the way back, too bad we couldn’t finish it cos of the rain?shy; boo the rain! Haha.
I ate my dinner late that night. Only ate around 9 cos I wasted hell long time waiting for ppl. Long story la. I dun wanna go into it, I’ll just say that I was EXTREMELY hungry cos I din eat breakfast and lunch that day. So I "gorged myself" at the food court. Haha.
Then I went back and slept.
The end
Haha
