Facebook DEACTIVATED again =/

Well, again, I've deactivated my facebook.

I was getting too lifeless because of Facebook. I come home everyday and Facebook. I wake up and Facebook. I eat and Facebook. Everything is about Facebook. It's controlling my life.

So since I couldn't control myself, I eliminated Facebook from my life (for now). So I shall use my blog to update on things I've been through =)

Oh. We're playing Be Our Guest again for some Vietnam Education Minister or something. Hope it's true.

PHUAH XIN LI

Another post about 1 weird person.

Xin Li.

An ultimate Patrick fan. Llama fan, too. I actually m

et her during sports rehearsal. I had no where to go and Joey was keeping me company and this Patrick was with her. So, yeah. That's how I met her.

My best memory with her? RUNNING TO THE CANTEEN!!

Heh.

We were starving like homeless hoboes. Running to the canteen like retards helps with our digestion, sort of. She was the best photographer =). Whenever I shout WHERE'S MY CAMERA, it's always hanging around her neck. Look at

the photos in facebook. More than half of it was taken by her. Thank you XIN LI!!

What else is special?

She calls me Cheng Moon =)

OH YEAH!!

She introduced NERD GLASSES to me =)

Now I'm addicted to it, thanks a lot.

I'll miss you lots =(

The rose has wilted..

The last show of Beauty and the Beast..

It's ended.

No more bringing violin to school.

No more messing around doing nothing.

No more running to the canteen.

No more buying food without lining up.

No more Beauty and the Beast..

These are the things I'm gonna miss for my whole entire life. These are the stories for me to tell to my future grandchildren. These are the things that made my life worth living. These are the things that perk me up. These are the reasons that I met a lot of new friends, from all campuses of Cempaka. These are the reasons I'm crying.

The Final Show.

Best. Everyone performed with full energy, and everything came from the heart. Everyone knew that we could not correct our mistakes in the show tonight because there won't be another show for us to do the correct things. No matter we're singing, dancing, acting or playing music, everyone gave it a 110% effort. The crowd, not to mention, was terrific. It was definitely the night of thousand screams and cheers and thunderous applause. I've never performed for such an incredible crowd in my life. I've never performed with a family consisting more than 100 members. I've never been practicing so hard for 6 days of performances. I've never performed the same thing for so many days. I've never played violin for a musical.

And seriously, this was 1000 times better than the Saxon Musical I performed in 2 years ago. Seriously. Back then, we had NO props, NO proper hall, NO proper lighting and NO proper sound system.

But this...

I've never been in such a professional performance. And performers are all under the age of 20. How awesome could it get?

The show ended with tears. Tears of sorrow and joy. We're sad it's ending, but we're glad that we've gained new experiences in life, new chapter in our story. Hugs and farewell speech was thrown all around the hall. Make-ups were ruined and smudged but nobody cared. Everyone was cheering their lungs out because we didn't care what's going to happen to us tomorrow. The show has ended. We don't have to maintain our physical and mental health for this show anymore. We don't care if our eyes are swollen, we don't care if we lose our voices. We just want this moment to be remembered. We want to NOT regret not doing these things in the future.

You guys are my family away from home. You guys are my Beauty and the Beast family.

CHEW LI ANN

Li Ann claims that I don't put her in my posts that much. So now I'm gonna put her name in THIS POST.

Li Ann. She couldn't remember my name during bronze and she asked me What's Your Name? I said Oh It's Cheng Mun, and she said "Chee Mun?". No. Cheng Mun. Get that in your head la LI ANN.

During sports day. Haha. She saw me. She struggled a bit. She saw me. And she said HI.......................CHENG MUN!! and she pointed at me. I don't know why but she just pointed at me. Oh well, I'm a good "pointered" The rehearsal after sports rehearsals, she saw me and said HI CHENG MUN. For the FIRST time, she did not struggle at my name. Aww li ann..you suck in remembering names =)

Ok. Li Ann, stop with HIMYM will ya? LoL. And you suck in Burger Shop 2. You know that =)

LI ANN SMELLS LIKE CHLORINE!! =D

and now she complains it's too short..how much does she want from me??

Fine then.

CHEW LI ANN IS A NOOB. LOKE CHENG MUN IS A PRO.

Happy?

My life in BATB

Well, tonight's gonna be our last show. *sniff*

Seriously, this production has added a few streak of colours into my life. I've never imagine that students in a school could be so together, so family-like. And I've never imagine that life in school could be so fun. Fun, as in, fun with everyone, no matter how old, and including teachers.

And so, today's the last day. Meaning today's the last day I get to see the people from damansara and CILC, and also the last day to hang around in school doing nothing except playing the violin. I'm also going to be seeing less of the International student. Because, well, our break times are different and I don't usually see them during assembly.

I still remember my first rehearsal. The rehearsal started at 2pm to 4.30pm and Ms Tan conducted the rehearsal. That's the first time I met Xin Li, Stephanie and Kevin. Well, I wasn't close to them that time. I also remember Stephanie was wearing some Nike shoes and it has a metal thing behind the heel and she was shouting MY SHOES ARE HURTING ME!! Haha, Stephanie..

And my first rehearsal with Damansara. I didn't know ANY of them. And I didn't get to know them either. We were separated for the first hour and half and then joined together for the last hour. So, yeah.

And now my first full rehearsal with percussions and harp and woodwind. I still didn't know many people, and I don't know who this Caleb is. I just know Jan Shen had a girly voice and keeps asking WHICH BAR. Well, can't blame him. He's just 9 =)

I still remember 1 very very very very interesting rehearsal. Caleb was starting to call me 姐 and sis. He said because I'm older he's gonna call me that. Then he was playing with the electronic drums during rehearsals in studio. He changed the drum sounds into Human Beatboxing. So, whenever you play the crash, it sounds "yeah" and if you play the floor tom, it gives an "ugh" sound. He kept doing the "yeah" sound whenever we're playing Be Our Guest. It made everyone laugh. Imagine, during a complete rest, there was a sick "yeah" sound. It sounds so awkward and funny. Then Alice wanted to ask him to stop doing that, and just when she said "Oi Caleb", Caleb just replied "Yes Mom?" It was too random. Alice then became our Mama.

Enchanted Weekend. We gathered in the N1 Dance Studio for warm ups. Before that, we were all sitting in a circle and giving everyone ASS names. I was already Big Ass, so we thought of other ASS names for other people. Caleb was telling horny jokes the whole time so we called him HORNY ASS. Other people we just asked what names they want. It was seriously FUN. The night of Enchanted Weekend, we were gathered in the Dance Studio and we were practicing ourselves. No teachers to conduct the rehearse section. I still remember we did belle. Alice was playing Mr Wong's part. Sampras was Belle I think, Jun Vihn was Gaston or something. I don't remember well. Anyways we were playing and they were doing the act and it was really funny and GAY xD. It was recorded anyway, so yeah. It was awesome. We had a Paulway Chew or something to give a vocal workshop the next day. She had blonde hair, which she bleached. We missed the cheerleading competition because of this workshop. =( Games afterwards was awesome. Dirty and messy but fun. My team was Maurice. Mithhra, Daniel, Kelvin, Caleb, Auriel were in the same group as me. We were 3rd or 2nd I think. I just know we weren't last, cause the last team has to clean everything up. CHEW LI ANN HAD TO CLEAN UP xD

Full day rehearsals. We ponteng-ed the first hour (Li Ann joins us after her training) to eat breakfast EVERYDAY until we got scolded by Pn Aimi. Actually we weren't really ponteng, but because WE know NOTHING about what we're studying and we pop in for a period of class, we don't even know what the teacher is crapping, so we just go to CPAC and practice, then we got hungry, and we just go down for food. Full day rehearsals were freezing. So I brought my mom's Jack Wolfskin and it was really really warm. I love it.

Rehearsals in Hall. We played COD from 8am-9am and started sound check. After that we practically do nothing. Oh well.

I met a lot of people, like, seriously.

BATB again =)

Today was the preview for Beauty and the Beast for Cheras campus students. We played Me and Be Our Guest for primary kids, Me and Human Again for secondary students. I think it went on okay, 'cause I didn't get to see what did they do on stage =/

And like the past few days, we go through the whole show during rehearsals. Full rehearsal but without the costumes. It was FUNNY. On every full run-through, we're treating it like the real show, so whatever accidents happen, we must "save the show" as "the show must go on". Today was a really good example. The real show was that Lumiere should be pulling something off of Cogsworth and fail because it's stuck there. But today it fell off, so Cogsworth acted happy and cheered for it. It was hilarious, and if you were an audience, you won't know that was an accident. They really are good actors =) Good job guys.

Yesterday, we were so zadou. Oh my gawd, how can anyone get weirder than that? I was playing chess with Julian and Kevin and Xin Li were watching. Then Mr. Andrew came over and ask Kevin.

Mr. Andrew: "Kevin, do you know when is the parent's night?"
Kevin: "No."
Mr. Andrew: "How about you, Xin Li..?"
Xin Li: "No."
Mr. Andrew: "You?"
Me: "Erm, the teachers haven't told us yet."
Mr. Andrew: "But do you know..?"

*what the hell..?*

All: "No"
Mr. Andrew (sounding pissed off): "Didn't I tell you this last week? How come everyone doesn't know? Have you not been paying attention?"

*WHAT THE HELL..?*

All: "Yes. You said you were going to fit the parents into the dates where sales are low."
Mr. Andrew: "And when will it be?"
Kevin: "The first week..?"
Mr. Andrew: "Date.."
Kevin: "4th and 5th"
Mr. Andrew: "You knew the answer, why did you say you don't know?"
All: "We thought you wanted the EXACT parents night date."
Mr. Andrew: "But 4th and 5th is still an answer. I asked for that."

Then he shakes his head and walked off.

What was that all about? Was it our fault? ==
