Pavarotti Vol. Trois

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.

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.

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,

Pavarotti Vol. One

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,

Nuraini ♥

Who are we?

OGLs

Lide (KUNG FU PANDA): He has bungeed in New Zealand, raided massage parlors in Toa Payoh, and mambo-ed in a panda suit. But his one weakness lies in Dragon Gate Dim Sum. His sheer size, enthusiasm and volume have earned him the nickname of “the Orientation Machine”. You’ll soon realize it is impossible not to feel at ease around one of the most fun (and huggable) seniors in school. If you fail to laugh in his presence, you have no sense of humour.

Tze Min (THE ACCIDENTAL KLUTZ): When she walks, the wind blows and the angels sing. Then she trips, falls, and her hair gets messed up. Suddenly the angels go out of tune. Little Miss Congeniality here digs Ben & Jerry’s for a living. That explains two things: Her saccharine personality, and how she can’t lift much else besides ice cream. Offer at every available opportunity to zip up her bag.

Pedro (THE VAGUELY HOT BOD): He works in the zoo, loves his Wee Tees, and utilises more army equipment than any Singaporean male should. His jokes fluctuate from vaguely funny to absolutely lacking in humour (ed. However, Weiliang remains the King of I-Can-Stop-Global-Warming Cold Jokes), but remains one of the most enthusiastic and gungho persons in school. Practical jokes are his forte, but he usually ends up being the only one who laughs at them.

Kaishi (THE FORGETFUL BIMBO): Onstage, Kai exudes effortless grace, composure and heartfelt emotions. Offstage, she's affectionately dubbed 'bimbo' by her close peers. Known for getting lost, asking for directions, and still getting lost after her first week in school; klutzy and forgetful behaviour has been coined as 'doing a Kai'. Bimbotic nature aside, this brilliant dancer exudes a bubbly personality that is definitely contagious.

Zhiyuan (THE INTENSE ACTOR): This FOC, Zhiyuan will make valiant attempts to outwit, outplay and outlast the other three male OGLS even though the four of them have been long-time best buddies. They have yet to get back at him for abandoning them since getting attached to *cough*Mingyi*cough*. This long-time actor is also active in the Hokkien Opera scene and was even an extra on The Little Nonya!

Nuraini (THE AWESOME-LY TALL SINGER): Awesome also refers to her voice; she's got one that can bowl you over. make sure she sings for you. Make her pose too, she's fantabulous. Helps that she's watched just about every episode of america's next top model *cue her voice: the next episode is out!!!* a drama queen of epic proportions with tons of drama experience. She also happens to be perennially on a self-induced high. All you freshies, you have been warned.

Caleb (THE CANNOT STOP LAUGHING ONE): Behind the huge grin of the cutest OGL (very very strongly contested), is much more than meets the eye. He has the maturity (of a 8 year old), the suavity of James Bond (‘s Filipino tut-tut driver) and speaks impeccable Mandarin (by Russian standards). Don’t fret if you can’t find him. High chance he’s at the nearest duck rice stall. Asking for chicken rice.

Xinyi (THE FUN-SIZED OGL): Say hi to Dr. Xinyi (PhD) where laughter is the best cure for… anything (hahaha rofl). She is a good doctor too, cause good things come in small packages.
