i didn't realise i miss acting so much.

was roped in to be a small fry in the video segment of the annual m1 to m5 playhouse competition, and boy did it turn out to be a uproariously fun assignment!

i was Medical Student Two, and my fellow meddies were xtine and wes. it's really great to act alongside people you have known for a long time and is familiar with, and even more fun when like-minded people with the same weird sense of humour get together! i absolutely love the spontaneity with which we improvised on our "exam-fevered" crazed med students look!

xtine: had a haircomb artistically stuck into her hair, held down with a pin which altogether created a very nerdy don't-know-what-i-am-doing-to-my-hair-and-i-don't-care-anyway effect! the stylist is soooooo very creative! *takes a deep bow* heh

wes: messed up his own gelled hair with much help fr xtine, and stuck a syringe behind his ear. looks like a more tame version of the crazed meddies

me: scrunched up my hair messily and tied a measuring tape around my head! (on retrospect i wonder how dirty the tape is.... eeeeeuuuuuugh did its owner wash it and sterilise it after measuring patient's leg length!?!? argh. i don't particularly wish for a pimple galore!)

and then we proceeded to complete our crazed looks with multiple contraptions hung all over us (prooctoscope, PR gel, gloves, goniometer, tendon tapper, stethescope, measuring tapes, tuning forks.... you name it we have it!)

the most fun came when we tackled an unsuspecting passer-by (played by weeming), lassoed him (wheeee!) and proceeded to perform all sorts of unethical and unspeakable actions on him...
haha it think wee ming must have been really scared witless when we whipped out the proctoscope and forced him into a left lateral position!!! teehee.

although filming took almost 4 hours despite the short scenes we had, it was probably something i would look back on with much fondness. our last playhouse! and we shall no longer be part of the competition next year... the years do pass v fast indeed.
