Woohoo.. Haven't blogged for like, forever! haha..

lots of things happening. MAJOR ones first!

It's Year 3 semester 1, but it's ending!
I'm left with 2 more assignments and 1 more exam!!
Jane's Drama Journals, Heng's Drama Essay and AMX exam!!

GOSH, I'm busy, but still have time to play. In fact, it's so bad that I actually already started playing. Hahahaha.. Need to FOCUS to finish this sem!

I am actually kinda happy with the grades I have for Math and AMX, at this point ya... Well maybe Math not that happy yet coz during the Final Test, I was LOST and BLANK like no one's business. It's the most difficult test I have ever taken in my whole life!!!!! I hate math and that's for sure, baby....

As for AMX, I have known 2 grades for my assessment component, journals and structured assignment test. VERY happy with the test, but so-so with journals. I'm still not sure why I got that grade when the comments given are like all so positive!! Oh well, see the final result la. Need to focus on doing my best and score my best in the exam!

For English, which finished the very first, was not that bad either. I do think I did well for the test. I know I lost 4 marks though on substitution! That's kinda annoying, but it's OK. I did my best to study the rest and I manage to do it =]
The portfolio I did wasn't that bad either. I don't do bindings or whatever. I'll be simple. Put the in a folder, but the papers must be colorful. I work well with colors. I DO NOT like my work to be just BLACK and WHITE, unless a big must. It's the creative part of me, you know. Once I am given the freedom to be creative, colors are definitely flying around! Woohoo... I'm quite confident in English!

MUSIC is one of my passion. This year it's not simple at all like previously where I can have a slightly smoother sail to A! haha.. This year requires me to put my thinking cap on and crazily deconstruct and rationalize everything I do in Music. Tough, but necessary, I guess. Thank you Dr E! Anyhoo, this one is slightly unpredictable. I know I won't get C or fail music! Duh! But I am aiming for an A.. Don't know will I get it or not as I have no clue what the assessment component is like. I did all the homework told. But ehm, I don't know!! Let's wait and See.. Hope favor comes!

Cultural Theory and Theatre or Jane's Class.... Haha.. I honestly think this module is SUPER heavy. All theories, few practical. My gosh. Imagine sitting for a good 3 hours in class discussing Turner, feminism, globalization, liminality, capitalism, etc! AAAAA!! I do have a great pressure doing research paper and presentation. Coz I really know heck about the theories. Part of it maybe I'm lazy reading the readings. But hey, I improved from last time. I actually DID read all the readings you know! Even do further research! My gosh, I'm proud of myself, but I can do better ya.... I'm also VERY satisfied with my final performance about Foreign Workers and Foreign Talents (FW/FT). According to the feedback I get from those watching, the performance sends strong and clear message, which ultimately, is my goal! Yay.. I hope that I get good grades here. I put lots of work in creating, thinking, rehearsing which include constant screaming and the mirror and crying on my pillow... awwww.. hahaha... Individual work cost a lot! I'm in the midst of doing my journal for this now. Quite happy with it too, so far. I'm putting my effort, a LOT, to produce an exciting journal for Jane to read. The last time I did journals for her only gave me an overall B grade coz I know my journal sucks like no one's business.. 3 entries.. Hahaha... So I can do better now!!!!

Heng's class or Theatre for Development, OHHHHHH!!! I love this class, but I don't really like the assignments. ALL essay-like and reflection-like. Seriously, accumulate the number of words for all the writing assignments I did and about to do (final essay) can go to at least 5000 words. I'm amazed. Haha.. This module is a fun one coz we got to watch performances and rehearsals! I actually got to watch rehearsals by foreign workers, which is what my play is about for Jane's class. So, I'm killing two birds with a stone! HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA.... Oh oh, I did my VERY first Forum Theatre piece ever, Q-Up!?, as our final performance. Quite shocked when I learned that I have to act and facilitate as well! Whahaha... scary coz you just don't know what the audience will do!!!! But I would say this module is really great coz it's in the end of the week (Friday) and it is topped with lots of actor games and movements! I love it when I don't have to sit down VERY long. I like to do hands on work, my forte in learning =p

AMX! Not a very commonly-liked module among my cohort. But geez, it's not THAT BAD! Ya, the nature of the module requires thinking and a lot of deconstructing beliefs, but that's the point. Are you convicted?! At least I am.. I learn that the world is tough, or should I say, Singapore is tough. A multiracial society does not = to multicultural society. Reason being accommodation does not = accepting. Tolerance does not = to accepting. The main thing in this module that i learn is that ...
Differences must be celebrated and addressed respectfully and meaningfully.


ANyway, I need to eat my breakfast or brunch now. Kinda like overwhelmed after writing about AMX.. hahaha... Back to studying too.. ciao.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
