107th Movement
Today is the last day of registration for the Children's Drama Workshop 2008...thank goodness...and the November's monthly skit is over, and today Geraldine asked me why I wasn't involved. "School", I said, "lots of poly work to do, couldn't come down for rehearsals". Then she asked why I left so early that day (because I left immediately after I packed the things up), "Still had poly work to do" I said.But of course, I have to commit to the next monthly skit now, but unfortunately I'll be gone from the 16th to the 23rd, going to Korea, forgot to tell her but I'll try to commit time for the monthly skit.
Sometimes wondering whether leaving TOG is a good idea can lead to a lot of wild thoughts, a huge temptation. Because after all...they seem to handle themselves quite okay. =/

Humans beings are just like warm-up exercises, if you stretch a muscle for too long (specifically, at least 10 seconds, I think) it will suffer when you do sports. Similarly, when a person has been inside a team, group or an organization for too long, he/she will become a liability rather than an asset.So one needs to know when he/she is a liability.

I Did Not DieDo not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there;
I did not die.

105th Movement
Christmas is here, and people are rushing around trying to save enough money and look out for the best presents to give their loved ones.Christmas has become a time of giving, a season of spending time with your loved ones and laughing off every bad things that happened in the year, or years before. Presents are exchanged at parties and food is in abundance at every house, people get invitations or are busy writing out cards to friends and family overseas.
But really, do we actually celebrate Christmas for its true meaning?
The secular world has commercialised it so much that the only religious meaning behind it is going for midnight mass and listening to the sermon about how Christ was born. Prayer is pushed into the dead of the night and we are even embarassed to talk about Christ outside in public and street evangelists go missing (not saying that they are all good though).
Do we really know what Christmas is about? Or has it died down to discounted presents and free gifts at the deparmental stores? Has old Santa become the center of attention and the Christmas tree just a shelter for our wrapped boxes? (Don't get me wrong, giving is a good thing and it reflects the selfless giving of Christ to others, a small reflection of it.)
NO! I say those Catholics reading this have to WAKE UP! STOP thinking about how the presents turn out and how much they are going to cost because honestly, IT DOESN'T MATTER! And it isn't because "the thought counts" but rather because the center of attention is not Santa but JESUS CHRIST!
Please, I cannot emphasis how important this is or how you can improve your relationship with Christ this coming season, it is all up to you to either worship your Lord or focus on the PSP you're getting for Christmas.

Ah yes... went for the tune-in session at Millennia Institute...nice place and I didn't believe Shi Hua when she said that you can't miss it, in the end she was right. =PIt was rather nice to see what their band was like at MI...I won't say that it sucked or what, but there is still hope left in there...
Okay...YES, I haven't heard a tone that BAD before and such off-coordination. But...BUT there is still hope...
The saxophone section there seems quite cold though...and Shi Hua mentioned something about them: "They don't like other people coming into their section". I can understand, sometimes when someone better comes along, you just don't want them to appear in your life. Self-dis-illusionment? I should think so.
Besides, I took a few minutes to play a short two bars worth of solo when they took (I heard) a month. I don't want to make any comparisons here... =P
I'll be going off now...I just want to take time off to thank Shi Hua for bringing me back to a Symphonic Band...it's been a while since I played with people beside me...and on a chair...and with symphonic scores...and with towkays in front of me...
And Eileen Mummy and Jean were there too! =P

101st Movement (continued)
Yeap, so this is Pretty Woman from the movie "Kal Ho Naa Ho" starring Preity Zita and my Bollywood idol: SHARUKH KHAN!!! WOOO!!!!
Oh, the quality here isn't good, but actually when I watched it on the DVD, it was great. The dance choreography is excellent (how do they get all that timing right?) and the lip synching is perfect, except maybe the english parts.
I'm watching another of his Bollywood movie, "Ohm Shanti Ohm" but unfortunately there isn't any subtitles, so I'll just watch it for entertainment, the fight scenes are nice, by the way.
I'll be uploading more videos on the way, so catch this blog while you can!!! HAHAHA...lameass...

101st Movement
I'm sitting here, typing this post with a cup of apple juice to my left and listening to Sunray Smile for the 13,467th time, I didn't count, it's just that its such a short song that I lost count.Right, Children's Drama Workshop is just round the corner, so I guess there's going to be more hard work than before. I now this is the first time I blogged about this, but I'm sure some of you can keep up with my speed typing on this one. =D
So anyway, Beverley told me I'd no longer be I.C for Food anymore, and put Joel in charge of it instead. I don't blame her, after all, I'm just one of those useless bastards in her sight, one of those she can treat like a slave with noe feelings. But I shouldn't be complaining, because I treat some people like that sometimes, so it's time for a change.
And oh, I was listening to the tamil version of Pretty Woman on my iTunes and it was quite cool...I remember watching it on "Kal Ho Naa Ho", a Bollywood movie Nasrin let me watched last time. I also have the video downloaded from YouTube, but because I'm at home, I can't upload it on my blog because my house internet isn't that good. =/ I'll upload it tomorrow.
Sometimes I feel that I'm such a weird guy, doing weird things on my weird blog (wait, that didn't come out right). But it doesn't matter! As long as I'm happy!!! =D (I feel that that is what everyone should strive for anyway)

Now this is the 100th Movement, I have to start writing 3 digits instead of two now...=/ sian 1/2Of course, its not a sad thing really...having made this far without much criticism is quite a good thing, and all those silent readers out there, thanks for er...silent reading.
I've deleted my 5 gig worth of music videos so I have space for others, and besides, I'll download videos and delete them after using it next time. But videos like game trailers I wanna keep them. And those for fun like this one:
Stupid, isn't it? But it really can pass time if you guys like, similar to the Pilobolous video...just for entertainment and passing time. It's quite interesting to watch these videos anyway, observe them and spot the different qualities that make it nice, since I'm making a film it'll be good to know anyway. =D
Okay, I'm just thinking from the top of my head and writing whatever things that come to mind, since beside me is Edric playing DoTA and you know how attracted I am to games like that...
So...so long and until next time! 100th Movement signing off!

98th Movement
There comes a point of time in life where everything comes tumbling down on you. But one would have to understand that that is not God's doing, but rather one's own actions. It's a cause and effect thing, something we may all blame the Lord for.I know 'cause life just crashed on me, but I noticed it happened because of what I failed to do in the past 10 months. But I'm not going to talk about it...
I've done some sypnopsis for the three films I was talking about in the latest FYP ADVENTURES. I'm doing this so at least I can create some hype for the sales... =/
The Boy who wanted to Change the World
Michael is a child who's had a rough time, he's only 12 and he's seen more than his fair share of life. Walking through torny bushes of his journey, he makes a plan elaborate for a 12-year old to start his world-changing campaign.
But why does he want to change the world? This film will leave you pondering on how he could have, would have changed the world.
Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla
Therese Pennefather is a normal RP girl, but when she gets rejected by every band in RP, she forms her own to show what she can really do.
Take the music from the 60s and replay them in your music players 'cause it's time to ROCK!
God Bless the Broken Road
A prelude to Anam Cara, this tells the story of Matthew and his younger sister Sarah. Their parents leaving them to save themselves from the poison of the world, but Matthew giving Sarah the hope that he can find.
What Matthew doesn't know is that Sarah is dying soon, sooner than he expected.

FYP Adventures
I have an idea of how I want to raise money for my FYP movie, but I'll have to start this year then.Instead of selling tarts, cookies or paperclips (YES, some people sell PAPERCLIPS!!!) I'd sell CDs! And inside these CDs will be short films, a series of it. Actually it is just some titles that I had wanted to do for my FYP but got rejected (by myself!) and now it will be shortened...but I would have to find my FYP team first then! But seeing things as it is now, it wouldn't be easy.
Titles include:
The Boy who wanted to Change the World
Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla
God Bless the Broken Road
Yeap, please support! =D

97th Movement - 300th Post
300th post!!! Amazing that it has come so far (not the first time I'm saying it) since its first birth at faythrebirth.blogspot.com...it was rather childish back then, when all I thought of was myself and myself only. How retarded could that get?Yesterday was jamming again after school...and it was quite refreshing...Charlene finally came and we heard her sing "Spell" by I don't know who. She has some sort of a sweet voice but she, as I can see has stage fright...not surprised...she's still young.
Bible Night is coming, and tomorrow is the last rehearsal...Bible Night is this Saturday, and I can't wait to see what the CC1s have done so far. But I really will regret everything if we don't do as well as the rest. =/
Yvonne has also asked me to give a talk on Spiritual Gifts, but I'm not qualified. Although I told her to tentatively put me as the speaker (oh no), but I'm going to get WOW to do this one...if possible...heh heh. But I'd really love to give the talk...

2nd November 2008.17th Birthday of the Theatre of Gifts.
It's really amazing how it got this far, how TOG actually managed to crawl through shit holes and got dirt thrown in its face and yet still survive until today. We should be expecting more dirt in our lives but TOG would most probably make it through. =]
But for now, TOG is crumpling.
There is no discipline, there is no right attitude for the right time. God has been thrown out of the window and the people are following their own ideals.
No one can save TOG now, not even Kevin and Geraldine. TOG, sooner or later, will be torn apart and cease to exist.
And what Kevin and Geraldine painstakingly built will be all but a photo album on a blog or on a friendster page.
But we must always do what is right, because it is right.

FYP Adventures
With the Professional Profiling Presentation OFFICIALLY out of the way, I can concentrate on other things like my FINAL YEAR PROJECT!!!I have let Joel and Nasrin review the script already, and of course as you can see from the tagboard they are positive comments (Justin...don't get cocky). I'm going to finish this script at least before the end of the first FYP.
Finding people for this is also very very difficult, since almost everyone is lazy to do a feature film or are even interested in the same ideals at all.
But I know that I cannot be discouraged...the objective of the film is what I must strive for...did I tell you guys about it? No? Oh, 'cause I didn't say it...anyway, every film has a message, some hidden meaning (usually good) behind every funny scene, behind every crying scene.
So...This is what I aim for:
To tell people that YOU CANNOT SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT LOVE.
It's a very basic message because after all, I'm still an amateur no matter how many praises I get, so don't any one of you complain.
And I'm actually thinking of using the tamil version of Pretty Woman in it.
Speaking about songs, I'll probably just list down some of the songs that I want to use in it.
(not arranged in chronological order)
I've Never Been To Me - Charlene
The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls
What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie
Down by the Lake - McFly
Met This Girl - McFly
Anak (Child) - Freddie Aguilar
Sunray Smile - Daniel Gardner
How Six Songs Collide - Norwegian Recycling
Tentative songs:
Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Scars (Stronger for Life) - Corrinne May
Pretty Woman (Tamil Version) - ???
He Will Come and Save You - Women of Worship
Good, update finished, will go back to my script.
