this week, we started off with listening to the dialogues supposedly to be between our parents.. but many ended up with our friends voice acting as the couple, mine too! Its really hard for me to imagine my parents helping me to do the recording, i never even hear them quarrelling before, well, not before me… i was even surprised when i got to know that they actually did quarrelled when i heard my mother mentioned it… lol… its hard for me to imagine the words they will use when they fight… so, my reference is *drum roll*……….. the television!!! When we listened to the different dialogues, most turn out to be the female being the more domineering one… hmm, but in this case, its the man’s fault!!! Also, most of the shows showing on the television now, the ladies seem to be the fiercer one.. also, anger is easier to be express through dialogues i guess… when people are sad, they are always quieter………..soooo… probably thats why… its funny how Ryan says about the difference between a teenage girl and a lady in her forties… Perhaps as a teenage, we do not know much about the reality of life and for the lady in her forties, she probably went through all the hardships or come to acknowledge the reality? Being fierce probably is to protect herself???

then, we watched a documentary about an bar opposite the bar terminal… its surprising that the bartender actually took picture of all the customers that visited his bar. i like the effects when the photographs were shown and the part where they showed the photographs of the same person ageing…. its so cool!!!

last, we have to act out a situation given to us…. and mine is about a pregnant women but the baby is not the husband’s child… its sOoo difficult… most dramas, they usually make use of dialogues to break the news that the lady is pregnant… hMm… now, i realised the importance of dialogues!!! i couldn’t stop laughing as well… it did not really tally with the situation… *embarrased* hmm.. the girl being pregnant would be like touching her stomach?? then, for the part to inform the audience that the baby is not the husband’s, erm… probably it will be better if another guy appears?? *in need of dialogues here* well, i think the easiest situation without dialogue would be sonia’s group situation – the one with the guy two-timing the two girls… its frequently seen in dramas nowadays… the dynamic action is easy to bring forward the message. E.g. pouring water against the guy’s face… or showing a sad face of the girl when she saw the guy with another girl behaving so intimately…

hMm… yeah!! one more week to holiday!!! I am already in a holiday mood so its really hard to get me down to work… =P i am procrastinating…

Anyway, i went to help out for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon last sunday (3rd of december) and its from 2 a.m till the afternoon…*tired* they are actually not really well-organised but can’t really blame the organisers as there are many people involved – the different schools, the individuals, the groups of friends… and upon reaching the area, there are actually Ngee Ann poly students involved too… some even helping out in the same station (East Coast Park – the 33 km mark in the Marathon) as me… there’s nothing much to do from 2 a.m till 7 a.m so its like wasting our time!?!? butttttt, when finally the first few runners ran past, the hard work began… we had to refill the drinks as fast as possible as the runners just kept coming and coming… From refilling the cups, we moved on to passing out drinks to the runners. Finally, when the last few runners are expected to run past, there are news that they will be running past soon. Then, bad news was announced. The last runner is to run past an hour later. We have to wait till they run past then we are allowed to leave the place. Little by little, the runners ran past and we do not really have things to do anymore. All we can do is to wait… However, when the last runner did pass by us, they were all in a van, heading for the ending point. All along, we thought the LAST RUNNER is just ONE person… Surprisingly, there are quite a number… I have never participate in this kind of events before and i don’t really think i can ever run finish such long distance! Therefore, even though the last runners did not really run finish the whole marathon but they already did their best!!! *claps claps*

At the end of the day, its as if we ran for the marathon ourselves, i even have muscle ache all over my body that only went away after a few days…Though i’m like complaining about the whole experience above but, its actually a great experience… and its really great to see the runners not giving up and kept on running on…. some of the runners stops in pain aat the station but they always get back to their feets and continue running… though they will experience a great deal of pain and fatigue, i think that its all worthwhile when they reached the end point of the marathon and they will have a huge sense of achievement too! i really admire them for their attitude!!! Same as the DOHA asian games… CHEERS for the Singapore Team… GO GO GO!!! i watched a match between Singapore and Korea in a bowling match… its so stressful!!! even my friend and me, being the audience only, we were also stressed over for the bowler.. though Singapore lost to Korea in the match, but the Singapore Bowler did his best and he is actually quite good!!! stiking and sparing for all the rounds and even striking 3 times at one go… *claps claps* Proud of Singapore!!! =)
