Hmm, sorry arh people, look at my previous entry de title... HaHa!! I can't even spell "Christmas" properly. I'm so... bad at it. Hmm, misunderstandings cleared. Life is back to normal and i'm back to a clown, doing silly things and making people laughing again... I always love to see people smiling or laughing because it means they are happy to be with me. Some people just can't appreciate my existence and treat me like an idiot who is making a fool out of herself. Ya, i do feel like a fool sometimes.
Hmm, what a fine day! i'm enjoying the rest of my holidays in peace. Hmm, would like to talk about Haunted House before continuing my sotong chapters. Sorry lor because Haunted House is something that really makes me feel like a failure. I need to whine ABIT about that so that i can learn from this experience. I've gave myself a few days to sort out my thoughts about it and i'm now prepared to blog about this dumb experience.
23rd of December. A day i've been looking forward to it. I didn't sleep early... slept at 4 plus so that i can complete some last minute stuff like the costume. Ya lar blame myself for not finishing it early so i've to burn midnight oil but i've got a lot to do and Choir is always my first pirioty... people who know me should know...
Hmm, i could wake up on time. i thought i will oversleep but i didn't guess because 3 hours of sleep couldn't get me near my lala land. Yes, meeting the rest at 8 in the morning because i would like to brief them a bit before starting work. I'm very scared. VERY VERY SCARED. i scared i will screw everything up. I scared we can't complete on them. I did tell Camilia when i called her the night before and ya, hahaha at least got someone to share my fear with... so i felt a bit better...
Then, i talked for quite some time with Vampire No. 2 and it was great too because at least got someone to talk to when i'm doing the costume... it's boring you-know? Hah! And, Maggie, Wee Ting, Hong Xiang, Camilia and Yan Jie have reached when i arrived at TECC mac. Man, they're fast and soon came Weslie. It was pretty fun to brief them. Relaxed. Ya, i look perfectly alright outside but i could feel butterflies in my stomach and chest.
They were good, very obedient, listening to everything i've said. i was just wondering whether everything get into their head anyway it's already over. Hmm, then michael came. Early huh? Then, the room was opened and we started preparing... what can i say? I wasn't satisfied with some people... (i cannot don't say or i'll die because they really really qian bian. i'll talk about them later...) Anyway, they are the reasons why i think everything is a failure.
Yesh, we did slack a bit in the room because the auditorium backstage isn't open for us yet. AND, i was going crazy when someone, i think michael, mention that there's a change in the 1st I.C. Man, i'm going crazy... Yes, i heard they wanted me to take over and the reason was because i know more and hello? i wanted to be the Vampire... i even bought the fangs and claws you think i'll accept this?
No way lor. Taking over 1st I.C. means no more vampir-ing for me because they need you anytime and you can't afford to go missing in the haunted house, busy scaring people, letting them to find you inside? Thank god the ending is a pleasant one... with CHAN YING YING still the vampire of the day. Thank you. welcome.
Hmm, things are going a little bit smoothly with the moving of the dividers all that. MY 1st I.C. and 2nd I.C. have not reach YET AND I'M JUMPING. There was a lot of runnings to do and i'm so sick of climbing up and down, up and down and up and down again. i did panick a bit, not a lot... Manage to move the divders in place and get every single team members in haunted house committee to do things instead of like having one or two slacking. GLAD TO TELL YOU THAT EVERYONE WAS VERY OBEDIENT. very happy. =)
Guess it was because everyone shares the same objectives and wanted very keenly to see the whole haunted house. How the Haunted House look like at the end was quite different from mine but it was great too. =) I was really glad to see everyone doing what they are assigned to do and they didn't grumble a bit!! Surprisingly, the Haunted House was not very dark but with a little sunshine shining inside, it did give the creeps!
Throughout the setting up, i was called by so many people and i was running around. Giving people their tasks, answering people's questions... sorting out things... man, i was really really busy and i'm going crazy. I was scratching my head and messing up my hairs, looking frantic and stressed. Camilia knew it and she somewhat laughed... =.=" Wait till her turn comes... ... bleh!
The next half of the day wasn't smooth... and i was greatly disappointed by my 2 I.C. especially the 1st I.C. and how i wish i could just kick him out of the Haunted House... Okay, high blood pressure rising up as i talk about him... HAHAHAHAHA!!
They can just go for lunch and took a long time to come back and help one lor... and i have to keep calling... though i might know more about the Haunted House but i might have overlook some areas and need reminder but the 2 hor... Man, anyway Qi Hao was tired lah he like never sleep like that... but that GAO YANG REALLY NEED TO BOX HIM... *angry* all the members busy doing and working the two of them went off for lunch...
Hmm, then it was lunch time and i was busy trying to sort things out in my brain while chasing everyone out of the Auditorium backstage to go have their lunch. Some just refuse to eat... sianz. We did some touch up and the music was up too. Creepy leh... ALL THANKS TO CEDRICK FOR PROVIDING THE WEBSITE!! HaHa!! OH AND Y2 FOR CHOOSING THE SOUNDTRACKS TO DOWNLOAD. Arh.. thank you. welcome. =)
Hmm,Credits go to adi to for bringing his laptop and speaker and nelson for bringing his radio but in the end we didn't use it. radio just serves as a back-up in case we couldn't get the laptop operating. Hmm, the bats are up in the air and i was begging people all over to get them to go back home to get postal paints or whatever so that we can do up the mummy area... well, maybe you can't understand this part.
Luckily, nelson saves the day! He went back home to get the paints. THANK YOU BERRY BERRY MUCH!! Qi Hao, the 2nd I.C., started his lousy art skill and it did come out quite GOOD. Haha!! of course, i got help him leh... Though i did get some comment that it doesn't look like those mummy signs and that ya... just lots of critising...
I got help from people like Alex and Desmond who are experienced people lah not experience in setting up Haunted House but they did help a lot. Jin Guang did praise us a bit... but i can't bother about that because it was only the starting... i wanted to see whether we succeed in scaring people... and it wasn't quite successful and it's all because of... WHO?!?!?! Man, talk about this i HUO DA...
Time was running out and i still remember the 2 ben dan I.C. talking rubbish earlier on that starting of the day. Saying that well, we are still on time... or something like we have plenty of time? alamak i don't know lah basically they mean that we can take things slowly since we've finished what we should have done before time... well, we might be working before time but it doesn't means that later we'll have enough time to complete the other stuff... Alex agreed. MAN, but i couldn't be bothered when i heard that because a lot of things are still not done yet.
We moved all furniture into geisha's room but then move the chairs all back to the mummy's room again... thanks to weslie, yan jie, nelson, wei quan and kelvin for helping me with the moving... it was really really heavy you-know? i almost knocked one stack of chairs down when i was stacking 3 more chairs on that stack of chairs... yes, 3 chairs are enough to kill me... HaHa!! But the guys are pro la they can carry more... the chairs are served as dividers because we can't get enough trashbags to do the job.
THEN, comes the time crisis. we have to finish our make-ups, face paintings and all that within a short period of time and everyone started calling me for help AGAIN. I was running all over searching for stuff and getting everyone their costumes. Aw man, might sound like i very important arh and very BIG right? BUT you never know how stressful i was.
Camilia the geisha... very pale and funny with her red lipsticks. Wee Ting and Maggie were begging me to let them to be in the haunted House and since we have got 2 missing people because they suddenly cannot make it... (WITHOUT INFORMING ME EARLY!!) i got Wee Ting and Maggie to replace them and so we got 2 juons.
We have a very nice mummy... i really love the mask and the toilet papers... and 1 grim reaper, played by Yan Jie, the silent one... 2 Skeleton, Hong Xiang and Timothy... (In the end, they drew themselves into some freaks that don't look like skeleton at all...) and 2 Vampires, weslie and I...
Okay this part is funny, i was handling everyone their costumes and then i put on mine AND I REALISED THAT weslie can't fit the fangs onto his teeth... can la but look out of place because of his buck tooth. Damn funny lah... like sabre tiger... I was forcing myself not to laugh at him but couldn't. Anyway, i know he wouldn't mind, 100% plus guarantee. Frankly speaking, i find his buck tooth damn cute so i was like WESLIE DON'T WEAR BRACES that kind of thing...
hmm, weslie helped Yan Jie paint his face black and HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It was like -speechless- and Yan Jie out on his specs somemore... hell lah, grim reaper wearing spectacles? Funny leh... but no choice he can't see a thing without his specs. Maggie and Wee Ting were like is this white or pale enough and i was like NO NO NO!!! I wanted it to be damn white de but the face paint sucks.
Hong Xiang and Timothy mah... don't wish to mention about it le lah... draw until like the chracters in star wars? but they don't like exactly like them... i don't know how to describe the two freaks.
Hmm, then we have got rehearsals and it's was totally screwed up. Damn. Practice makes perfect but not everything is perfect. HaHa!! Ambiguous hor? Anyway, everything is screwed up, okay? I was angry but then glad to have rehearsald because then i made some amendments and it was quite good after the modification.
My temper wan't quite good when i have some problems later on of the day... because i couldn't get everyone to lsiten to my instructions AND THEY JUST SIMPLY SPOIL THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE MAKING THE PATRONS FEELING NOTHING WHEN ENTERING IT!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! *angry again*
Again, camilia knew my temper was rising and when i told her to do this, she did accordingly. HaHa!! Thanks arh if not i scared i might just bao at her... i don't wish to bao at my sister. =) I bao at a few because they simply can't follow instructions but glad to say they were not angry with me... Ya, you guys don't know hor? 'coz you're not in the haunted house team.
Then comes the part where by i BAO BAO BAO BAO BAO. hahaha!! the Santa girl keep coming in... i was glad to see her entering the haunted house once as patrons then later she keeps coming in with gao yang. HELLO? hell lor. i mean she comes the first time to experience the creeps but the second, third, forth and fifth time she just came in and ruin the whole thing!!! Damn la.
She did apologise but there she goes again coming in and chat with gao yang in the Haunted House. Want to chat go out chat la THIS IS HAUNTSE HOUSE LEH HELLO?? VERY VERY ANGRY WITH GAO YANG. i did told him to get out but he keeps bringing people in to mess things out. How are they going to get scared when gao yang keeps talking to them? I was BAO-ING behind the curtains. The Santa girl knew la that's why she apologise.
Then got another time, some patrons came in and then the santa girl and gao yang came in again... DAMN LA... spoil everything lor chatting and laughing... the patrons will epxerience the creeps meh, tell me? i thinki did scream at them lor. hell... and they really spoil everything coz a lot of people came in that's why the whole atmosphere is gone.
And, we can't scare people as we wanted to because the 2 of them are obstructing the way. though it wasn't dark but we still can't identify the patrons so we just kept quiet and i think tha patrons just went out without being scared. ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY!!!! He is like doing nothing but creating trouble and problems!!
Man, i was really disappointed over that especially when i trust that with him around the Haunted House would do a even better job! TRUELY DAMN DISAPPOINTED LAH!! I don't wish to work with him again. He like damn capable when i first got to know him in the end, it's such a disappointment.
Then another problem arises in the midst of the carnival. Fareez another qian bian de... he keep opening the door of the fire exit and peeping in. Many of the times, he just keep coming in from there. I SCOLDED HIM and told him to STOP opening the door because sometimes when he did that a patrons was already in the haunted house and he spoilt everything. GOT ONE TIME WORST LAH he open and enter from the fire exit and a patrons was just infront of him. atmosphere totally ruin and i SCREAM AT HIM AND ASK HIM TO GET OUT OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE!!!
i was very harsh but given a second chance i would have did the same. i was already very frsutrated with gao yang and santa girl and he still keep giving me problems. TELL HIM SO MANY TIMES NOT TO OPEN AND ENTER AND JUST WAIT OUTSIDE THE FIRE EXIT FOR THE PATRONS BUT HE JUST CAN'T GET IT INTO HIS BRAIN!!! WHY DO I HAVE TO MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE THE SAME? CAN'T GET THINGS INSIDE THEIR HEAD THE LEH...
super angry lah... then Adi also got give me a bit of problem. he also wanted to scare people... i tell you why Haunted House got so many people because everyone is interested that's why they joined and they're keen and happy... Adi also wanted to scare people then he don't know want to hide where.... sianz la... lots of explanations needed but anyway everything goes smoothly when it's near ending because we somewhat grasp it... "it" refers to how to scare people.
Alot of supernova campers was very curious about the Haunted House and i guess thus they made a trip there but i guess they ruin it too... 'coz they simply talked a lot and gao yang and qi hao was super talkative when they saw them coming... WAS VERY VERY ANGRY TO SEE THIS KIND OF SITUATIONS. *sigh*
My only shou huo is that i manage to really scare a few and that i learn a lot of people skill... i did tell gao yang if i see him again i'm going to scold him so he better get mentally prepared. i just can't swallow it leh... all the angers. sometimes i think it's good to tell him lor then he knows his flaws... will benefits him too.
There was once 4 kids went in and 2 decided to back-out. HAHAHAHA!! Then, left 1 girl and 1 boy the boy scared lor... want me to accompany him... HAHA!! Funny!! Then, another group... 1 girl and 1 boy... they scream through out and seriously they're frightened by us. FUNNY FUNNY!! Then, gao yang's brother just run across the walkway and we didn't manage to scare him.. this boy arh coward... don't dare to walk... so just run... in the end, still kena frightened by people inside the room... walkway never kena frightened... room got mah...
haiya funny lah but i was very upset to disappoint some people who went in and didn't get the creeps because of all the problems that we faced... (those i previously mentioned... =.="). CHAR!! We got change plan in the midst like throwing lightsticks at the glass panal to hint the geisha (camilia) to come out... and that dumb weslie can't even throw lightsticks properly... =.=" ya he kena wacked by me behind the curtains... because he never aim properly the glass panal and camilia didn't get the hint... in the end geisha never come out then not scary...
Then, hmm, when we didn't have any patrons... it was break time lor... everyone will just walk around the Haunted house and do silly stuff... FUNNY LA then i'll do dumb things. then Hong Xiang and timothy wil play star wars... the 2 siao de lar but how come i join in arh? i must be mad at that time... In the beginning we didn't get patrons so weslie and i actually went down to somewhat advertise... DAMN LAME DE...
We went down from the stairs then everyone was looking at us. WOW!! cool i was stealing the limelight lor... HoHO!!! then we went up and down and up and down using the lift and did something real dumb. we were back facing the lift doors and so, when we reach first floor... everyone outside the lift was staring at us... wearing dumb costumes and fangs...
HAHAHAHA!!! We got do dumb actions like opening our claws and scratching the walls of the lifts... when we turn back after a period of time... we actually saw the cameraman taking photos...!!! HAHAHAHA!!! funny till i canot stop laughing... then we went back coz costume super hot.
At first everyone criticise my costumes when they saw it and say they're not going to wear it... CHAR!! in the end, they still wear and think it's cool i-suppose... HAHAHAHAHA!!! cannot blame lah my home econ though top but i just top because practical is not counted... i top theory only...
HAHAHAHA i never mention that before right? DON'T LAUGH. Not funny hor... though cannot sew but i still can make costume leh... clever smart right? got my sister to help and use fabric glue too la... i did do some sewing but it was bad... if you got wear the costume you shld have notice the flaws...
Then, when it was ending... i got a sudden headache lor and my head was like swelling and my legs are trembling a bit. damn la. sianz... but i still manage to wrap up everything nicely... with everything packed and things carried and stored in the storeroom. =)
I've miss out a lot of details like kelvin dropping by but never kena frightened... (yes, i was chatting with him on msn so i just mention him here lor..) and dumb wei quang hiding behind the door and i kena frightened... DA MA DE... the room damn dark lah then walk in suddenly see one dark human shape thingy behind the door... i screamed out loud and hit him with the majong papers... DAMN HIM... and he say not bad he smart to come up with this... alah alah... bullshit.
And, i was somewhat inspired so i got wei quan to hide behind again and Maggie and Wee Ting to experience it. HAHAHA!! i told them weslie wanted them to help out so they will ahve to go in the room then they kena frightened too!! WHEE!! WHY AM I SO SMART?? Maggie a bit slow but she still screamed super loudly... seriously kena frightened.
Before that yan Jie and Weslie was covering the window with more trash bags to cover up the sun shine and i went in to check in the end... kena frightened. I was like looking at their work then Yan Jie said eh look back or something similar... then saw one dark figure in the mirror... xia dou xia si liao... i screamed damn loud de lah the the two of them laugh until stomach pain... it was weslie standing there... Ya, i wacked him and yan jie. i beat the two of them up. Instead of working, they scare people... qian bian.
okay, end. WOW!! i typed so much? So much to talked about...
