My experience being part of a class play.

N.

Welcome back to another blog post folks. Exam week is upon us.

So, class play. Competition was on last Thursday, 28th February. Initially winner was 5 Balau, but who knows what will change the results. All in all, pretty fun yet stressful event for me. Evonne did get best actress so... That's something.
But Chua, why is it stressful?

I'm glad you ask, whoever you are. Or well, if you didn't ask, just enjoy the... drama. I'm sorry.
I was the main scriptwriter for 5 Belian 2k19. Volunteered in fact. It did quenched my everlasting thirst of writing a play, but, after experiencing that, I feel like it's not worth it, or maybe I'm just pathetic at writing.

There's a reason why this is stressful. It's a class drama, hence cohesion among everyone participating has to be there. Otherwise everything falls apart. And guess what, it did. We couldn't agree on a plot until 2 weeks before the drama competition, and then internal conflicts further broke the team. But, alas, our team still held up, and manage to perform.

As for my part, I wasn't satisfied by the class script after seeing what the other classes were doing. Disappointed in fact. We've could've done something much more exciting, but nonetheless majority votes out and we decided to... In a way... play safe.

To summarize, we could have done better. But a mass group project like this? I rather not since getting everyone to cooperate is a chore. It was fun though, I'll admit. But, the effort to reward ratio is simply not great.

Good luck for your exams folks. Have a nice day.
Cheers,
Chua.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Gaia's Tragedy, 1

E. I'm bored and I don't think anyone is going to read blogs any longer so I decided to write some stuff. Blogs discussing stuff will be back on next week lol if anyone reads this. --- Year 2077 Venus. Once thought inhabitable by the sapiens of Earth, now terra-formed into a habitable planets with cities hovering above the volcanic plains of Venus. Earth has long established contact with several alien groups from other galaxies, and now Venus, also known as the third home of the humans, turns into a stop for weary interstellar travelers. In the bar, many stop by to enjoy alcohol made with exotic goods, and to share stories while adventuring out in the vastness of space. One corner of the bar is such, filled with tales of tragedy and triumphs, hosted by an man named Larry. Larry Perkins. My crew and I got off the starship Nemesis after a long trip to the Andromeda galaxy, liberating planets claimed by rebels and exploring unknown worlds. Many of us wanted to rest, and m...
