ZhenYang Blogging MOMG!

In response to desperate calls for the blog to be revived, i repay my debts to the 6V faamily in which i am seeking refuge in. Back in Aksai Chin, we have the tradition to treat benefactors "Xiao Long Murtabak" or "小笼摸他爸" in Chinese, however, due to limited resources and unlimited wants, I am unable to practice that tradition to my benefactors in 6V who hid me away from those immigration officers catching illegal immigrants who swam here from Aksai Chin.

Let me provide some background information for my humble hometown.



This is my hometown Aksai Chin Plateau. As you can see, it lies between China and India. During the Sino-Indian War due to border disputes, the 人多势众 Chinese army took over our village during the day while the 暗无天日 Indian army drove them out by nightfall. Living inbetween two superpowers, we had little choice but to grow acustomed rapid change in culture.

Aksai Chin people are generally multilinguistic and multicultural beings. We have our own cuisine, called the "Ak-SaiKang" or "cuisine derived from doing dirtywork for the Chinese and Indian invaders" in Tibetan language. Some of our more famous dishes include 小笼摸他爸 (small basket murtabak), 麻婆兼并 (horny grandmother prata), 羊肉烧麦 (mutton siewmai) etc.

One fine day, when i was roaming the deserts of Aksai Chin, i found a very adorable llama!



Hence, i brought it home! Never in my worst nightmare did i expect that this adorable llama is actually Tibetan seperatist Dalai Llama who was hounded by the Chinese army! A bounty of 10 goats and 10 camels was placed on the problemic animal's head! Tempted by the generous rewards, I thought of surrendering the seperatist Llama to the authorities. Sensing its iminent death, Dalai Llama promised me 11 goats and 11 camels if I could help him escape, hence, my slippery adventure down the Indian peninsula began.

Together, we overcomed all adversities and arrived safely in the seaside city of തിരുവനന്തപുരം or Thiruvananthapuram.



From there, we swam west towards Egypt as Dalai wanted to reunite with its mummy, only to find that the "E" on our compass had no relation to Egypt. We ended up in a place with alot of monks. We disregarded them. Following the "S" of the compass, we fianlly arrived in Singapore as expected. However, Malaysia recently imposed a ban on controlled goods heavily subsidised by the government from being brought across the crossway.

-related article-

$These controlled goods include petrol, cooking oil, flour, sugar, milk and llamas, hence, I had to part with Dalai Llama. It was an emotional occasion, but 孟子曰:天降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,勞其筋骨,餓其體膚,空乏其身,行指亂其所爲,所以動心忍性,曾益其所不能, I contained my emotions and swam across the Straits of Johor and TADA! I am in Singapore!

So this is my story, i urge all members of the 6V faamily to share their life story with us! Woops running out of time!

gygi blogs V: the living oily bird.

our farmily pet, the bird blotted his face today.

results have shown that after blotting, his blue blotting paper was as see-through as his head is.


this shocking discovery has raised an issue for discussion amongst the oilspill experts and in the animal welfare world.
Many argued that it is a huge fallacy to why a bird can be coated with oil yet at the same time, is alive and kicking. Oil spills all over the world have done great destruction to the migratory birds, covering their feathers in crude oil such that their wings are too heavy to lift, hence also causing the death toll of oiled birds to shoot up to a worrying figure of 6.02 x 10^23 .


well, many things in this world are unexpected. We just have to say, that hee hee hee bird is officially protected by law.

so humans, save that bird.




this post is dedicated to daniao.

that's our last farewell.

15 feb

15feb, delayed post.
A fateful day to remember.
For all our lost family members of an unforseen tragedy.

Here is an account by a living survivor, Dominic, who spoke tearfully in sobs as he recounted his painful experience.



(10.00am)


"Owwwwwwwwwwwww...ch"
A weird fire alarm sounded across the inner plaza, just as class 6V had just came for a break after their econs

Class 6V's first law of Take-1-hr-to-go-to-island-creamery-inertia lags the class.
Everyone does not move despite the warning.

And so.. suddenly..


"GAAHH" "HEEELP" "GOD BLESS US"
A creature banished from the hells escaped onto the surface of the earth on the Left Wing!

Menacingly he approached the bench, as the class began to scramble, finally.


As class 6v suffered more casualties, everyone ran like as though it was 世界末日。

TOO LATE! GAHZ!
Eventually, he spoke the words of hell... And

Class 6V was forced down to the canteen (Hell school section) for their Last Lunch



Mama and Papa posing beside him.
Its really true that one dares to do anything before death


All smiling at the camera, not so genuine-ly.
Gygi probably shows their real emotion.

Suddenly, like a miracle from the heavens, a Sun-Godess appeared from the clouds.
She exudes a mystical aura.. Maybe not..
But very bright cos she burn her skin until like her bludder


Even the big bird shields his eyes from her blinding light
Or was his eyes meant only for Lifeng anyway?

Anyway, he who should not be named, being afraid, had no choice but to send the class back.

And so the day was saved!
Thanks lisyn! So please let me have more shots!


Exhausted from a day of shock, class 6V decided to have take a breather



And the sleeping mood carried on to the lectures.


Dompapa is sleeping.
Yes he is. Can you see?
No, not just mama. The pic is blurred cos dompapa fell asleep halfway trying to catch a shot =x



Timothy and Jin Long sleeps a very nice synchronised pose.
Tells QiaoEn about it, and his really seemed shocked (inset)
Wonders why?

Follows them secretly to the 6V tree, only to discover a weird story..

"What were you doing just now?"
"Dont mistaken me! I wasn't sleeping with Timothy!!!"



"This kick is for betraying me. GO TO HELL"
Gaah. The subsequent shot of Jinlong sent flying off spurting blood was too gory and violent.


It has to be censored, esp for lil kids who cant even eat biscuits properly.

Nu' er thats not the way to eat biscuit.
You're dropping crumbs all over..

Even Gong Qing is looking...

EDIT: Ooh even a super pretty Gong Qing V2 is looking
She seems to have put on make-up & contacts. Wonders if it is a date oO

Then...

"Bleah. Papa your biscuit very disgusting.."


Stares at daughter. What an ill-mannered child!



"Hehe."
Still dare laugh.. Papamama go home spank spank.


In the night, a JiangWensen was the Emcee for the CNY celebrations for foreign scholars.

Stands in middle.

Continues watching the concert...

A beautiful tribal dancer in traditional dance.

And while the appearances of Vincent as emcee and Shiyu as a dancer were both great shows, nothing could beat the climax..



OMYTIAN is that a GongQing and her.. hmm bf?
Hand in hand they sing a couple's duet.
Oooh sooo sweet la. No wonder she did a y=(x+contacts+makeup) transformation

And so once again, the night ends with much surprises.


PS: All posts of Mr Ong are merely fictional and do not serve to create a disparity between student & teacher.

gygi blogs IV: Extension to the AOSA.


"eh, very sian. wanna go highschool and eat?"



while walking to highschool[because we were left with no choice] on friday, a new discovery is made upon close observation of ouch.
hence, the expansion of AOSA.

General term-

AOSA :
art of swinging arms.
pronounced as: ah-oh-sah

subgroup-

AOSOA :
art of swinging one arm.
pronounced as: ah-oh-soh-ah

double division-

1. AOSORA :
art of swinging only right arm.
pronounced as: ah-oh-soh-rah
point to note- rah as in the japanese way of pronouncing.

2. AOSOLA :
art of swinging only left arm.
pronounced as: ah-oh-soh-lah





note: application of AOSOA valid when walking only.

dry season

rain (雨)

It hasn't rained at all since Chinese New Year on 7 Feb.

But at the Esplanade's Huayi Festival, there was thunder and a chorus of falling rain during Sound seed, Taiwanese actor/musician-composer Lim Giong's collaborative performance with a sound engineer and 3 young Singaporean lighting designer, interactive designer and installation artist. As Lim Giong himself hinted at, this attempt to create an immersive aural, visual and spatial experience of positive energy could have worked better in a museum/gallery than as a 1 hour performance. [left: cover of Lim Giong's latest CD insects awaken]

The next day, J and I watched renowned Taiwanese director Stan Lai's thoroughly enjoyable and admirable new production Like Shadows. Much has been written about it in the papers, so I won't go into any details about the play.

Walking out of the theatre after one of the better post-performance discussions I've attended, the intellectual and emotional energies the play obviously inspired from the audience lingered. I asked J's opinion of what he thought were necessary to achieve a production as accomplished and almost faultless as Like Shadows, say, compared with many of the lesser works we have seen from our fellow-islanders.

J's immediate response was this: "no shouting." [Our constant complaint after many Singapore plays we watch is the amount of shouting that goes on] Prompted to elaborate, he explained that it was not just literal, but a general sense that playwrights and directors were shouting their "messages" at audiences, pounding a singular perspective and vision across to an audience that somehow the playwright/director mistrusted - maybe even disdained. This is a generalisation, of course. Lai's work should also not be assumed to be representative of the state of Taiwanese theatre and arts scene. But thinking back on many of my experiences in our theatres, I could not help but agree with J.

How I enjoyed the open-ness of Lai's play, the respect it had for its audience's ability to wander around its characters and ideas, to form connections. I enjoyed too the particularity of the play's context - Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake, the practice in Taiwanese cinemas 10-20 years ago of playing the national anthem before each screening, the superstitions and Taoist rites that China would have lost after the Cultural Revolution - and its ability to reach also beyond its particular context to communicate the universal doubts, questions about desire, violence, immortality, death, imagination.

For me, the other reason is that every single aspect of the production was equally excellent - every actor in the ensemble cast; the set and lighting designers; the stylists; the music... For this, you need talented professionals working in every single aspect of the production - and not 1 sensitive playwright or 1 visionary director or 2-3 impressive actors. As in a dance, no 1 dancer could afford to be out of step.

joy (樂)
days of being young!

Maybe it would only be a matter of time. We would only need to wait for our artist(e)s - literally - to age.

And alongside this, Sound Seed reminded me that there should always be room for and a need for experiments, learning, growth and failure in the arts. For all the weakness of Sound Seed as a performance, I respected and also learned from Lim Giong's gracious acceptance of criticism at the post-performance discussion with his younger collaborators. It was an experiment, he pointed out, and we would work towards something better.

MAMA TALKS.

HELLO 6V :D
It is 11.54 pm on Valentine's Day xD
Not that the time now will affect the stuff I'm gonna post!



okay so one day, one fateful day,



papa stares affectionately at mark. (timothy glares)
