Only in my dreams, can I feel you in my arms, once again.
Because I cant say 'I Love You' anymore, I hope,
Deep down inside, you know I still do.

How Foolish I was.

Hey guys. I hardly know how to blog now, haha.
Life hasnt realy changed, except that my studies have kinda been getting from bad to worse, but now I'm trying to get on track at least with my maths. The only lessons that I was looking forward to were Literature lessons, where theres a wonderful teacher and it feels to joyious even to do the assignments she gives. Another subject worth mentioning is Physics, when Ms Shaika or whatever its spelt took over our previous sucky Physics teacher, our class results have been improving and I managed to pass my Physics Test for the first time.
Oh yes. I dont really have anything much to update, but since someone asked me to, I might as well tell you guys something upon the Children's Cancer Foundation [CCF] which my and my gang of magicians from a online forum; The Singapore Magic Circle, gathered to help out to do voluntary work.
We were given a task to do walkaround magic shows, Street Magic Style, basically imitating what David Blaine does on National TV. Well, to be honest, most of our main intentions were not to HELP out in the CCF Fund Raising thing, but instead, to gain experience whilst performing to a group of total strangers and how to cope with live situations as well as what to say and what NOT to say during a trick and also how to start and end polite.
Wait, thats only 50% of most of our "goals". The other 50% is probably to watch and hit on girls, get numbers, and able to interact with WHOEVER you want, and I really do mean whoever, as we can stop WHOEVER we like and request for their attention and proceed on to the opener for the first trick. Haha. Also, Wisma Atria is Orchard Area, and hell, there's plenty of "stuff" to keep my eyes wide open. Haha.
But being the good guy that I always am, of course I didnt attempt to get any number, but for the part on hitting girls, well, I shall not say anything about it.
My team for the first shift arrived at Wisma at 9.45am, and SURPRISED to see that NO shops were opened. The place is totally empty, and we were like, "Wtf, who the hell do we perform to?" The stage was also in the process of setting up, and lots of backstage workers were hot on their heels setting up stuff. We were then informed that the programme will only start at 1 O'clock! Holy shit, we were kinda given wrong information by people from our side. Then, we decided to go play some Lan at Cineleisure, and we were dressed up so formally that we were like super pros, haha. Oh wait, we are, I realised I still got my CS skills. =)
Back at Wisma at slightly before 1, the second shift of Magicians were here, and then we were informed that we can only start roaming at 2o'clock! Bah, lunch time anyway, so we turned to Taka's Macdonalds. Had a little jamming session, and of course, i learnt new things while interacting with other Magicians and so on.
Back at Wisma, the MCs introduced us to the audience; it was a grand moment, haha. And we were set to start. It was a realy wonderful experience, and sad to say I actually made a HUGE mistake in a particular trick once, that I actually made kinda a fool outta myself, but others were pretty ok.
Oh, in case you guys didnt know, the CCF thing is actually called Hair for Hope, where volunteers register and have their head shaved, and the hair will be made to wigs for the children. This also shows the courage and support in understanding the pain and sufferings that the children goes thru while losing hair during treatment. I've seen lots of people having their head shaved, including females with extremely beautiful long silky hair getting shaved.
There was once when I was showing 2 girls some tricks, and after that, I told them that if I did impress them, kindly make a donation at where where where. That's my usual closing statement. Then, one of them said, "Oh, want me to volunteer to shave my head? Haha. You're really good." Then was this really nice smile, and I replied, "Go ahead man, I'll be watching. You'll still be pretty without hair, like you are now." Haha! She was like 18 or even probably 20. =D
Thats about all. A picture speaks a thousand words, check out the post below. =)
