  Hi guys! check out my new photo which I intend to use for my upcoming webpage - www.trillusiontheatre.com !!! This site will be up in 2weeks time!

well… it is a very tiring day today to be it short. i had only about 3hrs of sleep. had to wake up early as my business partners from Trillusion Theatre are coming over to my place to discuss on the webpage design n stuff. well… we were busy discussing business all the way till about 3pm… and that’s when my grandma, aunt, uncle n cousins came over to my place. yup yup… as usual, i was demanded to perform more tricks for them. my cousin cant stop following me around even as i was at the kitchen preparing hot drinks for them.

as usual, i blew them away with my tricks n all. i did the david blaine’s famous bite coin effect just before they left the house. they were totally caught offguard. haha.. after that, i had to rush down to orchard to meet up with some of the ex band members from tpjc. yup.. went to this place called 3-monkeys…. some sort of restaurant la…. the food there is freaking ex… yup yup…

anw, i enjoyed myself larh at least. met up with old friends.. doing my usual magic stuffs as well. haha…. on the way back, i did some Ace productions. the person who sat beside me was very impressed n he wanted to see more… so, i started doing watever that came to my mind with my deck of cards. soon, everyone was like looking at me larh.. abit paiseh.. but i just carried on until i reach kovan mrt station. yup yup… gd response from them. felt good… hehe

argh!!!! i just saw roughly how my timetable looks like for this first semester in NUS…. basically, in short… well.. everyday, my last lesson ends either 9pm or 10pm…. only on tuesday, it ends at 6pm! wat the heck?!?!?! the timetable alone is enough to drive me crazy la. too sad to talk much now..

u don’t know what QET is? well.. it stands for Qualifying English Test…. some stupid thing that NUS made me sit for since i din score a grade of B4 and above for my GP back in JC. sucks… and i just have to fall sick on this very day. felt sooo cold in the LT, that i just wanted to finish up my essay quickly and leave. hmm.. think i might fail this… but heck la… hopefully, i have the luck to pass this like i usually do for all my english tests n exams…

Thanks to all those who have supported me for my performance last saturday! although i must admit that it was rather a last minute thing.. it turned out quite alright in the end. had no time to prepare due to NUS Union camp. once again, thanks!

Here comes day four of the camp. I woke up feeling exceptionally sad that day. The camp is suppose to end tomorrow afternoon but due to my other commitments i had to leave one day earlier. so, this would be my last day in camp. hai~~

I really enjoyed my last few moments with the ppl from my OG. we all played the station games real hard… doing leopard crawls, getting all dirty and muddy… but just when i was really having fun, it was about time that i said bye to all of them. hai~~ i dun noe if i am betraying the team. but i really had no choice. but well, i am sure they will do great even without me around. Not surprising to find out at the later part of the day that my OG won second place for the wargames. really cool.

Well done INGO! i am very proud of u! =)

The third day i guess is the most fun. we spent the whole day at Sentosa playing beach games. from beach soccer to volleyball… all with a twist. we had to pair ourselves up and had our limbs tied up. when it came to freesbie, it was an eye opener. i wasn’t playing though but my OG was very impressive. they were down 0-3 at first… but for some strange reason, we manage to fight back and win it in the end. it was simply amazing. it’s because of this kind of event that the team’s morale is boosted and things just got better for us. soon, everyone was very much on the ball.

At night, it was Freshie’s Nite where each OG was suppose to perform an item each. We performed a simple musical which we called "Bolly-Grease", Grease in Bollywood style. We were very much demoralised at first as we watched other OGs performed. their dance choreography, storyline and all were very much one step above us. soon, it was our turn. backstage, we told ourselves that we’ll just be wild on stage and do our best. it works! at least, things appeared decent enough although we didn’t have enough practice with the dance and all.

I was suppose to put up a short magic performance in the middle of the musical. i wasn’t able to engage the crowd as i was using a deck of cards which appeared tiny to the audience. it was a bad move on my part. well… i was dissapointed with myself arh to be honest. but well, things had to go on anw.

the results were out, and we didn’t win any prize. the morale of my OG suddenly went down this time round. it was rather obvious, looking at the devastated faces of my friends. hai~.. my councellor IC, Jeremy then decided to talk to us all explaining to us why we failed to win anything although we really put up a gd show today as well as the two days before. we were told that it was totally not our fault but rather, because of politics and the alliance and all. to put it short, 3 OGs actually ganged up to form the "Allies". in a secret meeting earlier on, the other 7 OGs decided to team up against the "Allies", calling ourselves the "Axis!". all these were done in prep for the following day’s War games and i knew this would be a real exciting one.

Day two started of with some talks from the committee and the sponsors. I was still feeling sleepy as i didn’t get enough sleep like i usually do at home. we had to play this game which was sponsored by Singtel. well… basically, we had to run around from one station to another completing tasks with our handphones ie. to sms, take photo as well as do a video recording of ourselves cheering.

After lunch… we had pool games. argh! if u know me, u will know that i really am not into water related activities. main reason is because i am a freaking weak swimmer. and i dun like wearing trunks. it’s very unsightly i find. anw… it was through these games that the team spirit slowly became better and soon, we were very much more united and all in our mind was to win, win and win. the morale of the team was superb and i foresee better things to come.

At night, we had some free time while waiting for our turn to go for scavenger hunt. we used that time to discussed on the performance that we need to put up for tmr freshie’s nite. after much discussion, we settled for "Bolly-GREASE!". it was a decent idea arh. i was told to perform some magic to the judges as well, hoping that i can impress them. i feel bad to refuse them but i simply dun have the materials to do a good job except for cards. but well… just giv it a go la.

We moved of only at abt 10+pm only to find ourselves being transported to Haw Par Villa for Night Fright. that was freaking unexpected man! but anw… the Fright Night was really cool. not scary but… it’s simply cool. nothing like those that i’ve experienced back in sec sch and JC. their costumes and all were simple outstanding. Job well done i must say.

That night, we slept late again and had to wake up early for the next day’s activity once again.

I’ve never liked the idea of going for orientation camps and such. but this time, i was being dragged into this by a friend of mine. i was simple not in the mood for it. me and my fren, Darren… well… we were told initially via the phone that we were both in the same OG (orientation group). but that wasn’t the case when we reported at 1000hrs last Tuesday at Eusoff Hall. In the end, I was all alone in this OG called "INGO". everyone else were strangers to me. anw, that’s the whole point arh i guess; to make new friends.

On day one, things were pretty boring. running around the whole of NUS looking for clues and playing station games in order to solve this murder mystery. but there’s one part that i won’t forget. at one of the stations, the whole group was to pair up, one guy-one ger. each pair was suppose to play "scissors, paper, stone" and the winner will get to eat the chili while the loser will get to spin the "wheel of misfortune" to see how much of chili the winner need to eat. in the end, the guys purposely made themselves the winners for each of the "scissors, paper, stone" game so that the gers dun have to eat the chili… (u can call that being gentlemen). when came my turn, i had to eat 3 spoons of chili paste and 1 dried chili. trust me, the chili paste really tasted bad and almost made me vomit it out. yucks!

at night, we got to talk to our SP (Secret Pal). we were guided to meet our SP blindfolded. although i was suppose to be blindfolded, i just took a peek to see roughly how she looked like. haha… of cos i was hoping that my SP is a chiobu arh. but sadly, that was not the case. anw, we share quite alot of things in common. perhaps, we could be gd friends. we both played hockey in JC. plays in the concert band in secondary school. and both of us happen to be of the same race also.

The day ended with some skits performed by our counsellors as part of the official opening ceremony of the camp. some of the performances are rather interesting but some others are simply boring. the night ended rather late and i only got to sleep at abt 2.30am. worst, we had to wake up for breakfast at 7.30am. Less than 7hrs of sleep!

Day one was in short… boring. the impression that i got about my group is that everyone was not very enthusiastic, just like me. haha. the whole day, we had to do nothing much but learning the cheers that the councellors tried to teach us.
