[One of those life-changing days and some How-Now-Ms-Ow-time.]
[One of those life-changing days and some How-Now-Ms-Ow-time.]
Let me start with the How Now Ms Ow time.
There was a free period after Literature today. So Ms Ow decided to sit down and talk to us about disciplinary stuff before she goes on to "terrorise more students". At first she was all prim and proper, "Girls, just pin up your hair" and blah blah blah...
Then it kinda digressed and she said something like, "I'm above 18 years old, it's hard to believe me but yes, i'm above 18, and I can drink, smoke and drive. And I'm above 21, and that's even better, I can have sex and watch R21 movies."
Okay. Unbelievable. But it's really funny to see this side of Ms Ow. We would've been less wary of her and paranoid around her if she could be like this more often. I wouldn't have to jump in fright and suddenly feel my fringe grow whenever I hear her voice round the corner. I wish I could feel less like I was trying to smuggle drugs whenever she demands a spot check on hair. I don't want to feel like a drug addict going through rehabilitation when she does the "you're too noisy, stand up and sit down again" routine when the noise level was only 50% of last year's average.
It's the second time I'm musing about Ms Ow.
No, Ms Ow, I don't crush on teachers unless they're from Linkin Park.
Oh well. The life-changing part.
Went to Ngee Ann Poly's open house today.
I used to think Polys are all info-techy-sciencey-mass-commie. The I went on a tour with Min Ling and Clarice to the School of Film and Media Studies.
If I'm not going to do Musical Theatre in La Salle, I'll probably do Film, Sound and Video in Ngee Ann.
I don't know. I just decided that maybe I'd have enough of being in on the centrestage, I'd probably want to take it behind the scenes. Or be the invisible puppet master that controls the puppets you see in the facade of Drama.
Plus I love all the gizmos. The ultimate puppeteer's workshop with knobs and dials I can play with and get into serious trouble with some of them. Or become inspired by accident!
What am I talking about, inspirations are almost always accidents.
I guess the rough outline of my tertiary education would be something like this:
- EITHER Musical Theatre in La Salle OR Film, Sound and Video in Ngee Ann;
- Followed by a degree in Theatre Studies OR related fields in a university outside Singapore.
- Probably migrate. I can't really stay here unless homesickness gets the better of me.
- Society, HERE I COME. Well, maybe not the society... I don't really know.
My blueprint for future. Nice.
And kids, you get to do that once you hit 16 and everything becomes clearer, somehow.
