Surprising turns of events!

I know I haven't been catching up for the past few days with the updates, due to many things that I has been happening (believe it or not). Anyways, I will have to stop blogging (temporarily or permanently). One reason being that I got addicted to Twitter and all. So, I currently update daily my Facebook and Twitter. Links being on the right hand side block to "My Sites". Cheers!

School Play #9

Well, how should I put this.. This is basically the sort of 'end' to the practice session of the "annual school play". After 9 days of hard work and dedication, we had finally finished and wrapped up everything in place. Today was the "Student Led Conference" which means 'no bus transport or classes'. But that didn't stop the play sessions from going on. The play session practice was held on at the auditorium. And I had to admit the play was actually pretty decent and lengthy, which was a good sign. We also had the chance to act with our costumes on as well, which seemed to have put the 'character' effect within us, sort of. The practice was as the usual and we all got ready to face the real stage tomorrow and the day after.

Daily Quotes #7

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without heart."

-Mahatma Gandhi 

School Play #8 "Nearing the end"

The school play has been really gone long has it not? By the 8th day of practice, we are safe to say that we had managed to complete the play in one go (as smoothly as possible). We also finally got the chance to do it at the Auditorium and also managed to get our costumes and collar-mics. The practice session also managed to last much longer in comparison to the previous play sessions. The play will be played at the two days of Tuesday and Wednesday. Being that tomorrow would be "Student Led Conference", there would be no school tomorrow. But with only a day to practice, our coordinator took the chance to utilize this remaining day to wrap up the entire play. Hopefully it will end up successful for the following days and bringing to a conclusion to my stay at GEMS Winchester School. 

CFC: Youth For Christ CAMP SWAG!

So, I've been meaning to join YFC for quite some time now ever since I've gotten an invitation to go from my friends. Finally, Youth Camp has arrived for me to finally enter into their world. I may say that it was one of the most sensational experiences I had ever felt in my entire life, and that is saying a lot. During the camp, we had bonding times with new friends, learning more about relations with the christian faith through inspirational talks of the current members and lots of fun activities along with it, especially the fact that it was a sleepover! The talks were the main focus of the camp, giving us the recap and revision of our christian faith. In comparison to what I learnt in Catechism, the camp really ties up loose ends. I tried to be as flexible as possible and make new friends, and sure enough I did and made new lots of them, gladly (we also had a performance under the category: Skit, Comedy, Musical, Jokes). Fun activities range from breaks to mind games! The following day, we attended confession and mass. And man the last session was quite the surprise! With the conclusion of the two days and one night spent during Youth Camp, it really was quite an experience, and am really wanting more of it! I really am looking forward to my following days spent at YFC. 

School Play #7

Another usual day for rehearsals for the school play. There were few absentees but was overall very manageable. The practice was held at the suite for the rest of the day. Laughter roared with complaints as well attempted to finish scenes as soon as possible. Acting was really improving in terms of expressive and volume tones. The props team was up and ready with the props though there is still one more left. Problem is there is no available material left in order to make it, leaving us to wait for the material's arrival. All in all there is nothing more to say on what happened today because it was really what is going on for the past few days. Kudos to the actors crying in drama films because man, crying is really tough. Hopefully we get to finish soon enough.
