Pavarotti Vol. Trois

Woots!!! Finally back from Genting =) Sorry for being MIAed until now...
Anyway if you read the previous posts and did your maths, you would have by now realised... (Suspense and drumroll...) there is one AGL missing!!! (Anyway i just discovered that Nuraini actually mentioned it to all of you... so yeah... so much for suspense...) So lets just pretend and act like she did not (I am from paparazzi remember? =P) and let me now formally introduce you to our last AGL!!!!!!! He is none other than........

Our dearest Eldon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not be intimidated by his seemingly intimidating look of intimidation for he is as sweet and harmless as the little bob of thingy in his hands as shown below.

That thing is christened Bob, and had a wonderful and very peaceful 30 seconds of life until Eldon, finally overcome by his hunger, furiously ravaged and devoured bob in record time and messiness. XD

Overall Eldon is a nice and fluffy person to be with (what i discovered during my few nights stay with him, in the same room, on the same bed, separated by just a thin cover... in genting...) He goes absolutely gaga at cats and babies and other cute stuff.

Anyway in a nutshell Eldon is the sort of guy whom you will say is weird in a nice way, and nice in a weird way. Ok... I refine my statement. He is the coolest guy you will ever meet in your life. I am deadly serious about this.

Oh and he has OCS too. One Child Syndrome. This afliction makes him tend to bursts out into songs and condense long deep insightful sentences into 1 words (e.g. "Ethiopia!" meaning: "There are millions of kids starving in Ethiopia and here you are wasting food." *NO KIDDING ITS TRUE!!!!!)

Pavarotti Vol. Deux

I totally didn't realise until today when Janie told me, that our OG is extra special because 4 out of 5 of us OGLs/AGLs are part of Paparazzi!

Meet Janie. I first met Janie at what turned out to be another OG's little gathering that I unknowingly crashed, but in retrospect, I'm kinda glad I did. Janie is super sweet and caring, which makes her a great AGL/senior/most importantly, friend. I don't think I've ever seen her angry or irritated before (except maybe when we have to meet Spectrum TV episode deadlines, but who doesn't get irritated at that?) She's always ready with a hug when she sees that something's bothering you. (: Janie is also the girl with amazing music skills, and perfect pitch to boot. She's even better than the guitar-tuning-device-thingy. Aaaaand she can tune guitar, bass and vocals. How awesome is that?! Not only is she a master in creating music, she's a fellow mover and shaker too! She does dance sport in NTU, and is one half of the Eldon&Janie duo.

Here they are all dressed up for their performance! Pretty dress. Pretty SHINY dress.

Don't exploit her gentle nature though! Beneath that sweet exterior, is also someone who is firm and definitely-can-scold-one. Hence, she's our Stage Manager for Paparazzi! (Not saying that SMs scold people lah, but they've got to be on the ball 24/7). She's got skills in the TV Studio as well, yo! (Yes, she's also in Spectrum TV) Always on hand to fix random stuff. I've had the chance to work with her in the room-upstairs-the-studio-floor-when-they-do-all-the-visual-mixing-stuff, and she definitely knows her visual mixing stuff. Much better than I do haha.

Then we have our other female AGL and fellow photographer, Jeanette.

Jeanette was my fellow OG mate during WKSCIFOC'08 and we've stuck through an entire year (and lots more I hope) together. Study buddy/lunch&dinner buddy/late night editing buddy. She's more likely to be found behind the camera, than in front. I remember she had a recent obsession with taking pictures of birds. I wonder what the current one is. NTU has cherry blossom (is it really cherry blossom?) seasons where the petals will fall and cover the ground like snow, except that it's pink, so it's not really snow, and Jeanette insisted on spending one of our lunch periods in the garden so she could go trigger happy. As earlier posted by Kai, she has a twin.

Sooooo cuuuutteeee and innocent-looking, right, these two?

NOT.

Jeanette&Eileen is a force to be reckoned with. They're always the source of scandals. Other people's scandals that is, whether true or otherwise. There have been Job scandals, and Phil scandals and Terence scandals and Kai scandals. I don't think anyone is safe.

I realise that there are so many Raviolis (OG from WKWSCIFOC'08) in this year's FOC, and we're all super close. A lot of good FOC does! You'll forge friendships that will withstand exam stress, assignment stress, different tutorial slots stress and the much-dreaded STARS stress.

Stay tuned for our remaining AGL, for which Zhiyuan will do the honours (hopefully he remembers). ONE WEEK TO FOC! ((:

Bisous,
Nuraini ♥

for all you raviolis (:

nah, don't bother with the title unless you're familiar with wkwscifoc2008 (ha, try saying that quickly 10 times)

the above is a picture of my og during our time in camp last year (: this post is for you guys!

ok kai has a confession. i (openly) have an obsession with job. and so does a quarter of the CS population in my year (and up).

i mean, who doesn't love a guy who looks like that? of course, he'll kill me for posting this. he insists on maintaining his emo reputation. but i think we were all a bad influence on him. he is no longer able to maintain his emo-ness. hence you can actually notice that all his photos have him in a huge grin. or some other funny face hahahaha.

some people actually worship him. as seen here, many people. but obviously, you can see he's also of the kiddy-ride spaceship alien sort of erm, species.

he's not very tall. but the point of this photo is to show you what people like to do to him. *cue nuraini: "job, you're so cuteeeeee!* while ruffling his hair. yes, permission granted, ruffle his hair.

oh but do refrain from attacking his neck. his reactions when anyone attempts it is beyond hilarious. wait did i say refrain? oh do it please (:

and don't worry freshies! with him as welfare you don't have much to worry about. unless you're allergic to eggs and tofu. be prepared for ALL you meals to have some of both, they're his staple. but trust him with all else ok? but just in case, you know who to go to if you're dissatisfied with the food, accomodations etc. it's JOB, or JOBBY if you prefer.

and then we have the nefarious twins. (oh so in synch with the theme of ASFV don't you think?)

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR INNOCENT LOOKS. do NOT get onto their radar. on their own, they make us shudder. together, their power is limitless. power to find things to embarrass you, that is. completely non-existent scandals, weird nicknames, so ridiculous-it's-funny accusations, hey they're the ones to go to if you want them.

sometimes she looks like this. but please, i repeat, don't be fooled.

because if you cross her, she looks like this. and you have NO IDEA what eileen's diabolical brain can churn up to make your life hell.

]

i have to say, jeanette, the other half of the twins, is more docile.

it's also kick-ass hard to find a photo of her by herself. because she's usually behind the camera, not in front. she also has come back from braving the jungles of indonesia (in aini's words) and she is CHAO TA. like, she blends into the background when we skype because she's so dark now.

then we come to PHILEBELLE! i promise not to tell the world you're phillielfie. oh oops, did i just say that?

ok honestly, don't doubt his masculinity ok. that was a joke. phil, pleassseeee pretty please don't kill me this is for freshie entertainment okayyyy

the trusty man behind the wheels of logs. literally. he's a very safe man behind the wheels of a car (but come to think of it, i've never been in a car he's driving before). trademark longgggggg straps of a shoulder bag and a steadfast presence in ALL lectures. he's NEVER missed any at all, no matter how hard we tried to ~~force~~ nicely ask him to join us in our erm adventures at canteen A.

and then we have job's wife! oh wait, i forgot who's the wife and husband

terence, the other half of the logs pair. he's reliable la, don't worry, despite how unreliable looking he is in this photo. (do keep in mind i tend to look for the most un-nicest photos of everyone else but me) don't even begin to THINK he's quiet okay. he may seem so at first. that, is a FALSE impression. trust me. he can talk the sky down over your ears.

and then we have AINI! ok i shall admit i wrote her description for this blog. every word of it is true! and then we have the aini panic attacks. where she literally PANICS. she will hyperventilate, pull your hands, go bug-eyed, and the by the time she goes onstage/in front of the class to present, she's the best presenter of the day. man, she makes you more nervous than she is! and here we have her right at the front of the photo!

i told you she could pose (: this was our pretty dress day where all of us donned pretty dresses to school! well except the guys of course. zeddy came with the theme in a nice shirt okay, with collars and buttons and long sleeves. (oh did i ever mention zeddy looks damn good in nice shirts??)

ok i've spent like the better half of my day staring at this and thinking of what i want to say about these few. i may do a few more for the rest of the ravis hoho. but really, it depends on whether inspiration strikes me or not.

*guys, please do remember that you actually love kai deep deep in your hearts before you decide to murder me in my sleep. besides, who to give you your daily dose of bimbotism but me? if i die, no more, which i know you guys will sorely miss*

Bocelli Speaks!! EP4

Thanks Kai soooo much for that uncalled for spam,
I shall now continue with our second AGL, Sufi!!

“Selamat petang! ini merupakan lelaki paling hebat di sekolah”

If I were a girl, I would totally date Sufiyan Sulaiman. I first met my trusted AGL in my own OG one year ago as well. Why did we click so well? bcos we both believe in taking a slower pace in life, sitting back and laugh at the rat race instead or joining in.

Together, we were the most awesome pair of game-pwners, act-retarders, ~~bed-mates~~, and even fellow comrades in CI club.

This self-proclaimed mut, also happens to be the ONLY Malay guy in our batch. Upon first glance, Sufi looks like a punk rocker. But he does have hidden side....

(Talentime)

Beneath this exterior is actually a very sensitive soul. In fact, he used to have sensitive emo-long long hair. (which he had to straighten every morning).

(at our DnD)
But really, Sufiyan is totally lovable. Here is just shortly after our own orientation when our whole OG planned a surprise birthday for him at his hall. But… he went out on a date, leaving the whole OG to wait for 6524322 hours ++. But its okay, we all love Sufi.

Why is Sufi a great AGL? Becos he is a master or the art of kick-ass chillaxing. Confused? You’ll see what we mean during FOC. Sufi will teach you how to become totally enthu and yet cool at the same time.

But seriously, in all sincerity, Sufi is one of the most fun-tastic seniors to be around. If you are alright with bucket loads of laughter and nonsense, pray that Sufiyan Sulaiman is your AGL!!

Bocelli Speaks!!! EP3

hello i'm back!

with the introduction of Grace i promised earlier (: (pedro will do sufi's, although he is the king-of-procrastination and has procrastinated on his entries twice hahaha)

Grace (The never-to-be-woken-in-time-for-9am-class shopaholic): Don’t be fooled by this demure looking girl. Mention the word SHOP and her eyes immediately light up and she’s all raring to go. Capable of literally shopping till-you-drop (you referring to shopping partner, not her). DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT shop with her unless you have had prior training. She also epitomizes her name; hall cheerleader, former ballet dancer, the works. OH, and she’s the one to go to if you need a dash of JUICY GOSSIP.

that was in the style of the introductions of the ogls/main comers/ASFV cast/crew.

In Kai’s style:

Grace! Ahhhh where to begin. The girl from MY OG a year ago whom I couldn’t recognize was from my OG -.- darn pretty too! Hall 2 pageant participant. Can never be seen in time for 9am lectures! Maybe if you’re in luck, you’ll see her in at 1045 entering the LT. and then leaving in 15 minutes to go back to ZZZ land. By now we’ve probably all heard about the shopping. You know, ped’s little comment at the end of his first post HURHUR. Grace here is a SHOPPAHOLIC. Nono, trust me, she’s worse than anyone you’ve EVER met. Hello I actually get tired leh, but grace NEVER EVER GETS TIRED. I lose stamina like in say, 6 hours. Grace just goes on and on and on. so when I get tired I just watch her try stuff and give constructive feedback like: oh hey I think yours hands are tired from taking out your wallet HURHUR.

you know, sometimes i get worried bout our og. take a look at what the guys try to do:

SIGHHHH. that's pedro and sufi's hand. and they actually POSED for this ok. notice pedro's hand is the one that looks baby soft and sufi's is the one with all the veins hahaha.

i just had to put in this one ((: she looks SOOOO cute! hmm i think there's a cartoon character that's a beetle who wears glasses like this hoho.

scroll down very quickly to see pedro behave like a fortune cat. in lizzy's words:

Elizabeth Lee at 7:46pm June 24

someone needs to muzzle pedro. retardation has its limits. =x

although i'm SURE she doesn't mean it ((: HOR pedro and lizzy?? *smirks*

the saddest thing is, sufi posed with the retarded face behind pedro THROUGHOUT the whole episode.

sighhhh. grace, we have to be the only sane ones ok! ((:

but sufi pedro, don't worry, we still hearts you guys loads!

H1N1 Alert!

Updated 24 June - 11th circular from NTU

Hello Freshies (actually, for Seniors as well)! Sorry to be a spoilsport, but we really want to be responsible students (plus we probably won't appreciate the dubious honour of being the 4th cluster), so it's important for you to sit down and pay attention...

Ok? Here goes:

NTU has just sent an advisory with typical NTU-like caution(ah those wet blankets) regarding H1N1 (the 10th+ circular, complete with temperature taking exercises VIA the internet).

Apparently, all students who have just returned from H1N1 affected areas are to self-quarantine for 7 days. Meaning if you go overseas to these areas from 29 Jun - 6 July, you can't come for camp! Really! No kidding! If you do, we'll send the police, STARS team, even Chemical Defense on you! You'll be exposed as an irresponsible citizen on STOMP! It's not worth it!

Of course, that's not true. We really do love you, and want you to experience the camp we've specially prepared for you! But it's really for everyone's safety lah. We promise we'll be extra nice to you guys when school starts k? :)

The affected areas for now are:

Americas: Argentina, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, USA
Europe: Spain, United Kingdom
Asia-Pacific: Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, The Philippines, Thailand

However, if you complete your self-quarantine before the camp finishes on 10 July, you're still welcome to join us! Please email us at wkwscifoc09[@]gmail.com to work out the arrangements and inform us beforehand!

This will be updated in real-time with more advisories and affected areas (but hopefully not!)

Your H1N1 Special Correspondent,
KJ

This is terribly depressing news. I wish I hadn't got so excited about the Camp yet... T.T Stupid H1N1. Why oh why did MOH have to declare Indonesia an 'affected area'?!?!?

By Agung, at June 24, 2009 at 2:12 AM

awww. maybe you can come over sooner? and get quarantined for a few days before coming for camp?

it really sucks )):

Trying to arrange for that. Thanks!

Tumbletee update!

Hey seniorssss.

The Tumbletee sample arrived today, and it's looking good!
Even better than the other sample you guys saw in fact, because its 100% dri-fit including the yellow binding.

The one above is an M by the way. If you didn't order it and you're having mild/severe pangs of regret at the moment, well ~~too bad~~! Okay lah. We did order a very teeny weeny itsy bitsy number of extras. (So teeny I can count them with my fingers.)

So if you still want one, it'll be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis!

EDIT

Okay, in response to the fast incoming panicked queries regarding the size of the singlet, Lizzy has once again abused the use of her DSLR to take the sort of pictures no one should even be taking at home (and feeling rather stupid while doing it). Ignore all the white spots or whatever spots. I doubt my mirror has ever had the privilege of being cleaned. And I even changed out of my black FBTs for clarity's sake.

Only for you guys.

Here's how the M looks on me, as a rough gauge.

As I was telling Tze, it's a comfortable I'm-wearing-big-tshirt sort of baggy.
Not a I'm-drowning-in-tshirt sort of baggy. I'm sure the girls know what I mean.

The guys will wear anything that doesn't make them look like a ba zhang.
Unless you're Pedro, of course.

Qn: Is the arm hole huge or not?
Ans: It is this big. *points below*

Enough embarrassing zi-pai moments for one day.

Signing out!
LIZZAAAAAAAAAY.

oh no why does it look so big!!! )): i think i ordered an M >.<

By kaishi, at June 24, 2009 at 3:44 PM

M is a comfortably sort of baggy on me. Ordered some extras, should be able to swop on a first come first serve basis. hahaha.

By Lizzy, at June 24, 2009 at 3:53 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA it's not considered zi-pai if your face can't be seen.

By ash, at June 24, 2009 at 5:16 PM

kk i think M works for me (: thanks!

By Lizzy, at June 24, 2009 at 10:04 PM

why does it have to be a singlet? whyyyy?? i don't want to scar you guys for life!

SCOTTO!

presenting to you..the five facts of SCOTTO OGLS!

XINYI!

1. As the OGL profile page in this blog states, she’s a #1 AMEI FAN. In fact, try this: say “AMEI” randomly when she’s not paying attention to you. I guarantee a reaction/response.

Oh, and this girl can sing. Awesomely. Now you know what to do for OGL forfeit or anything that may come up.

2. She gets distracted very easily, give her mp3, she don’t need to do anything else already. Give her her laptop (which always hang), she’ll do everything on it BUT the thing she’s susposed to do.

3. A commonly used phrase of hers is 神经病, but she’s probably referring to herself lah, or her co-OGL Caleb who is a lot more 神经病 than he looks.

4. She may look small in size, but do not underestimate her ability. She can be very fierce, although 99% of the time xinyi’s happy-go-lucky and will always cheer up your day. :D

In the remaining 1% of the time, she eats people! (aka her tuition kids.)

5. Most of the time she’s harmless, cos she’s super blur, like me! Scotto freshies- It’s better to trust Caleb on directions etc.

CALEB!

1. Like me, caleb likes to eat and sleep.

2. He claims to flirt more with guys and have gay relationships, but it just means he’s very faithful & sweet to his other half (who is a girl)

3. He’s 24 years old (call him old man), but acts as like 3.

I can’t even keep track of the number of times he told me, “I dun friend you”, or the childish conversations we have. This implies 2 things. One, he’s very childish. Two, he’s very bully-able. (although he bullies people also lah, so beware.)

& TODAY IS ALSO HIS BIRTHDAY!

wish him happy birthday and he'll try to be nice during foc. (:

4. An avid football fan! He’s one who would stay up till 5am to watch football matches on a school night and one who would play soccer with an injured ankle.

5. PS: you can call him slut, he doesn’t mind. (: we have very affectionate nicknames for each other.

That being said, both xinyi & caleb are awesome friends to both talk crap with and who will be there for you. (: As I promise them not to post –cough- unglam –cough- scandalous photos, and because we are all really nice people, here are some PG photos to tell you who these funky people are! xD

These are glimpses from our own camp, don't they look so happy! and xinyi's doing a happy dance, while caleb is erm doing a wave-one-hand-in-the-air dance.
you do not want to miss out on all the fun and happy experiences! SIGN UP FOR FOC NOW! (:

Transformers: More than meets the eye.

HAYY FRESHIES.

This will be my first non-work related entry in which I'm actually not nagging at anyone to hand in anything! (But pls do register or face the possibility of over/undersized tshirts!)

Anyway this is a FRENI related post from your friendly Freni senior Lizzy! Fwooooot!

Me and the orientation machine (Mr Tay LIDE) were editing in school today, and Lide REALLY REALLY like REALLY REALLY wanted to get that $27.90 Sideswipe Transformers toy that he's been raving for since like, weeks ago.

So we made a detour to Jurong Point (freshies you will unwillingly and unwittingly become very familiar with that place after a while) after the lab closed to go to Comics Connection, where, *drumroll*... Sideswipe was SOLD OUT.

So we walked into Kiddy Palace. (Quote Lide: I can't believe I'm walking into Kiddy Palace).
Full shelf-full of Transformer toys... but no Sideswipe!

(But he really, really, like really really wanted it.)

So guess where we ended up.
City Hall. And to Robinson. Again, no Sideswipe.

So we walked to Suntec City, hopeful that Toys'r'us (since it's Toys'r'us) would definitely have the precious loot... However. EVEN TOYS'R'US DIDN'T. (They did have the $219.90 Bumbleebee and $109.90 Optimus Prime that I drooled over though, hinthint.)

Last choice.

We walked into Carrefour.... (Lizzy muttering at this point in time that if here don't have then NO HOPE LIAO.)

AND.
There were almost no visible Sideswipes in sight.

Then Lide did the most uncle thing I have ever seen him do. And I've seen him do MANY uncle things in this lifetime:

He put down his backpack, went down on his knees, and started rumaging through the hidden bottom stack of Transformer toys for Sideswipes.

(You see Sideswipe in the bottom right because we placed him there after we finally re-packed everything neatly.)

We ended up with this:

(Lide looking darn pleased with himself after unearthing so many Sideswipes. 9 to be exact.)

We then spent the next 5 minutes comparing them to see which had the best paint job.

Then, Frenis, your GL, decided to be really GL (if you know what I mean). And started replacing every rack's toy with our newly discovered Sideswipes. (Which I still can't believe they intentionally hid away!)

Mission complete. Sideswipes for everyone! Yay! :)

So if you're a Transformers fan, go get your sexy Sideswipe before it runs out everywhere.
If not, just know that Lide will stop at nothing to get his heart's desire. (HAHA)

LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING ALL YOU FRENIS YOHHHH. :D
(and like, all the other freshies too, of course, la.)

More Freni adventures to come! (I mean, honestly, all the Freni seniors are quite uncle or aunty. Lide is uncle. Me, Tze, Shihui and Walter are aunty. But we love you with all our uncle/aunty hearts!)

P.S. I forgot to mention that Pedro is the biggest aunty in CS. If you need an umbrella, or tissue paper, or wet wipes, or hand sanitizer, he chop chop confirm will have one.

Secrets to an Uber Awesome FOC!

As a senior who thoroughly enjoyed wkwsci's FOC last year, i feel obliged to share with YOU freshies some secrets for you to cruise towards a super uber awesome FOC! Shhhhhhh! (okay its also coming from someone who crazily attended 3 different foc's last year. not recommended unless you have unlimited energy and good self control. haha.)

1) Pretend you're in a colgate commercial.

For goodness sake, smile! Drop your ice queen/king image and be friendly! Nothing breaks the ice more than a lovely smile. Otherwise you might find yourself really freezing alone during lectures once term starts. (note for the guys though, dont smile too much at each other)

2) Dance like no one's watching.

Lose your reservations young ones! Even if it means doing things that could potentially traumatize and ruin your life in sch for the next 4 years. Forfeits are fun. The best part is, no one remembers. really ;). So go ahead and loosen up! You probably only get to do this once! As a media student, it's good to collect experiences.

3) Forgive and Forget!

A lil friendly competition isnt gonna hurt. After all, no one's gonna hate you for scratching him during a game, smashing water bombs into his face, cheating his feelings, or scaring the ass outta him. (honestly, non of the above took place, they're just erm... illustrations). Oh yes, this applies for the seniors as well k. Don't dart killer looks at us when we walk past you next time.

4) Fun favors the prepared.

Pack adequately! Bring enough.... yea undergarments. You can never have enough of those. Better to bring a lil more and be kiasu than regret it later on! Fun favors the prepared! Oh yes, remember to leave most of your valuables at home. Most importantly, prepare yourself for lots of fun!

5) Talk to me (seniors), Tell me your name (ok more than that).

Even when we are glaring and looking like we're gonna eat you up, talk to us. Deep down, we're really nice and friendly. haha. But seriously, we're here to help integrate you into school life. After all, who else will know which modules to take, which profs to avoid, where to buy bubble tea from, wheres the best place for dinner and the secret corners where you can dance away without anyone knowing.

6) "Shit, i forgot to bring my hp!"

Well at least thats what i hope you'll say. ahaha. Just drop your hp when you can. it really sucks when everyone's sitting around chatting and a few pple are smsing away.

Practice the above secretly and im sure you'll have the awesome-st FOC ever. Ssssshhhhhhh

- Time to own up: Hendric I really thought you and Edwin were best gay buddies at the start of sem 1.

Point number 2:
The best part is, no one remembers. really ;).

- Chachaporn is etched in memory forever!!!!

Point number 3:
After all, no one's gonna hate you for scratching him during a game, smashing water bombs into his face, cheating his feelings, or scaring the ass outta him. (honestly, non of the above took place, they're just erm... illustrations).

- Got! Not you kenna only!

Point number 4:
Bring enough.... yea undergarments

- Amen.

By Lizzy, at June 22, 2009 at 10:05 PM

This is random, but guys. Dont be garang and try to pull an army ranger course. Bring plenty of underwear and CHANGE as much as you can. This isn't NS.
But you may still bring Prickly heat. It'll prevent abrasion .

By F I S, at June 22, 2009 at 11:17 PM

HAHAHAHA yes the first thing I thought of was Chachaporn. Sorry KJ :p

By ash, at June 23, 2009 at 12:05 AM

By hendric, at June 23, 2009 at 1:15 AM

Pavarotti Vol. One

Hi Freshies!

It's about time that the OGLs of Pavarotti make their presence known on this blog, isn't it? Haha. You guys should totally come for FOC (how come the numbers only 40+ ah? This CANNOT do!) because it's such an awesometastic experience. You get to meet and make new friends and bond with each other waaaay before school starts, you get to play games all day, and you get to meet wonderful seniors who will make your transition into uni life that much easier. And most importantly, you get to have so much fun during FOC! (: Those of you who haven't signed up, please do before registration closes, and the T-shirt size orders go for printing. Trust me, you do not want to be wearing a shirt that is not in your size.

Anyhoo, HHHHIIIII!!!!!!! (Yes it's true that I'm always on a self-induced high. It's not that hard actually. Lots and lots of sunshine helps!) Let me introduce myself. I'm Nuraini, one of the OGLs for Pavarotti (let's just pretend my partner Zhiyuan is also here okay). I love to sing, act, dance - I love the stage! That doesn't mean I like to steal the spotlight though. I promise I'll share. :P

In Year 1, I was a vocalist for my hall band, which I'm very sad to leave if I cannot get back into hall during the next rounds of allocations. I am also very sad that I have not been able to go on package-delivering adventures due to my holiday stint working for the government. I feel so cool that I can say my work is "Classified Information".

The OGL pairing for Pavarotti is extra special, because it turns out that we're both the producers for the annual CS drama production, Paparazzi. It's called that because we're cool that way and everyone wants a piece of us in action. We're both very into drama-related stuff. And we're also involved in Spectrum TV, which is the campus TV programme produced by CS students.

Here's a picture of us on set.

Zhiyuan has hosted a couple of episodes, while I've worked behind the camera, at the autocue, done outdoor reporting, and even been a guest on an episode! Spectrum TV is fun and really gives you invaluable experience.

Zhiyuan takes film and broadcast even further. Besides being one half of a famous pair who consistently kept reappearing in our one-minute video assignments (see, he's a good actor too!) he's also a budding film maker!

They won second prize for an AIDS video competition. Also in this picture are our AGLs, Eldon and Janie, and Zhiyuan's other half Mingyi, who's also our treasure for FOC. We're all a very interconnected family. Hehehe. Eldon and Janie are partners in NTU Dance Sport. Which means they do lots of couple salsa/latin dance moves. Which Nuraini CANNOT do because the idea of a guy leading is weird. Which makes Janie very cool because she lets Eldon do this.

Zhiyuan is also the guy who cannot burst a balloon, and cannot, for the life of him, hit his intended target with a water bomb. After going through all his water bombs, he still could not get my hair wet. Therefore, you freshies will definitely have a clear advantage. Don't give him mercy, just whack! :P

So, this is just a short teaser of the dynamics that exist within Pavarotti. Most of the time, I'm able to tolerate Zhiyuan (hey, I've been stuck with him since last September, and will be sticking til this September AT LEAST!), as he's pretty harmless. Remember, you guys have the advantage if you have a water bomb in your hand! Hehehe. We also have another AGL (because really, we're special that way) Jeanette, who's currently braving the jungles of Indonesia, that you can be sure will capture all the endearing unforgettable memories of your FOC experience.

Do sign up for FOC - it'll be so awesome-possums-tastic that you'll still be talking about it waaaay after it's over.

Also, do say tune for CS Paparazzi - a night of madness that is definitely not to be missed! (:

Bisous,
