Just came back from the senior-junior class party. It was damn fun! I escaped dunking in the pool through my discreet behaviour. Obviously I won't be so lucky the next time! Not that I mind, just warn me before you guys throw me in at the next party with a pool. We were playing such weird games. Like Fear Factor, where we were eating disgusting stuff like raw carrots in mustard. Most of the stuff had either mustard or wasabi in it. The most palatable was actually kueh lapis with Vegemite spread on it. Then we were playing Mafia, and some people can really lie with a straight face! Haha, there was this game where we had to go up to a member of the opposite sex, profess our love for them, and get them to smile for us. Mean people, not one girl would smile for me! All too seasoned by the time my turn came I suppose? Here's to more fun times as 1A01A!

Still can't get the Harold Pinter plays out of my head! We went to watch this double bill with our senior class yesterday, The Lover and The Dumb Waiter. I liked the former, and most of us could actually come to some understanding of the play, regardless of whether it was the intended meaning of the playwright. Real-life married couple Lim Yu Beng and Tan Kheng Hua were excellent performers. Not so sure about the acting in the second play though, it seemed a little more artificial to me. I felt like the dumb waiter after watching it, like I was sitting there and desperately trying to stay awake, waiting for something to happen. Then at the end nothing really happened! I haven't the foggiest idea what the second play is trying to say, and according to the director, neither do the performers! I think I'll go look for more stuff written by Pinter, just to see what his other plays are like.
