Self Quiz!

ha..this is going to be my inaugural entry to blog in English (as requested by the few of u out there! u know who u are=P ) ..pardon me for my POW-DER-FOOL Singlish hor..saw this on yanling's blog a month back: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx.. i tried & indeed it's quite accurate..

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (really? ha..)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes. [yes she's serious, smart and determined=) and also pretty *blush* ]

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. (check)

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (sadly no!)

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (活到老学到老！one of my mottos)

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. (the highlighted line is very true! but i'm a practical dreamer leh..ha..i wanna be a very rich freelancer!=P )

How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. (failed too many times le so not scared le..but very cautious..)

What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel. (ya..deep down inside i fear for things that i can't control..but really very very long never lose my temper le..ha..i just roll eyes=P )

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. (what u all think? ha..)

ha..dear friends..how true are these?

anyway yesterday during translation class, the prof show us a video interview on 许渊冲, a great China translator. 许老, as the beautiful (really beautiful+serious+smart+determined! ) host affectionately addressed him, shared a few inspiring thoughts..one of them is that THE YOUTH NEEDS MOTIVATION!

so please motivate me!=P

一言难尽

上个星期以Senior Attached（学长）身份出席为期一周的Union Orientation Camp (UOC)。

几乎不眠不休，且提心吊胆的一周，多出来的时间及突发状况疲劳轰炸，催人一夜长大。愈挖愈深的眼袋，盛装着对你的担心，及自己的无能为力。对不起，没能做得更好，让你委屈。暗暗发誓不再让身边的人受伤害。走在悬空的钢索上，进行着高难度动作，仅仅及格吧。当我们一无所有的时候，我们究竟还剩下什么？仿佛有什么在改变，有所成长，有所参透；总觉得是时候应该做些什么、是时候认真思考下一步该怎么走、自己想要的是什么、什么是爱、怎么取舍等等。人与人之间，一言难尽。

茶霓思剧团

为南大中文系《简讯》写的茶霓思剧团介绍。

文/ 张英豪

简介

一群HC214 [华文剧场与表演] 后遗症患者，认为不该将剧场局限在一学期的课堂里，于是呼朋唤友，毅然让青春暴走于虚实间。除了预演人生，也筹办讲座、工作坊、戏剧/电影观摩；并尝试以文字捕捉舞台上的浮光掠影。目前正积极探讨论坛剧场等小型互动剧场的多重可能性。

演出

茶霓思剧团的处女秀奉献给2007年中文系迎新会，虽然现场发生临时状况，但在团员的默契配合下，顺利瞒天过海。

第二次表演则是在中文系系学会筹办的“元宵节晚会”上，剧团挑战了回声足以“绕梁三日”的华裔馆中厅（以它为舞台）。经过多番尝试、彩排后，总算克服建筑设计带来的表演难题。

两次表演都约15分钟长度，剧本是团员集体创作的心血结晶。但由于两部剧本都是应景之作，着重于娱乐效（笑）果，所以接下来剧团希望能创作更具沉思、更多与观众互动的表演。敬请期待。

讲座

2008年上半年，茶霓思剧团成功筹办两场“剧场艺术”讲座，非常荣幸能邀请到戏剧盒艺术总监郭庆亮谈〈导演的工作：砌一栋安全的危楼〉；和十指帮Company Director 张子健谈“Dramatic Action in Storytelling” (戏剧张力/故事) 。

2008年下半年，剧团也将继续筹办这一系列的“剧场艺术”讲座，目前已确定的演讲嘉宾有实践剧场艺术总监郭践红（谈舞台设计）与戏剧盒助理艺术总监许慧铃（谈论坛剧场）。难能可贵的经验，肯定会丰富视野。

合作

茶霓思剧团也与本地专业剧团有密切合作 – 团员王佩杰与谢秀彬就参与了戏剧盒主办的“白色空间之编剧系列”；有些团员在实践剧场与戏剧盒实习。除此之外，特别感谢戏剧盒借出彩排空间让剧团进行训练活动。更多工作访、讲座等活动在接洽中，拭目以待。

展望

这一学期，茶霓思剧团继续痴人说梦，希望能举行一场小型公演、能邀请到更多剧场达人分享经验、能筹办更多获益匪浅的讲座与工作坊、能集结更多优秀的自创剧本等等。一箩筐的痴心妄想，希望这股坚持的傻劲能感动你。更多详情，请留意 http://ntuzwxdrama.blogspot.com/。

喜欢一切美好的人、事、物；喜欢一切好（注意：不是好听）音乐，无论什么genre。 但钟情于unplug的吉他伴奏倒是个人偏好=P

最近常听的专辑是maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long"和台湾组合深白色二人组的第二张专辑《花火》。相信大家都认识maroon 5，所以在此推荐深白色二人组。

漂移 Drift

漂移ing，人生处在漂移状态，灵魂不知被落在哪个暗角。

put it in another way:

心在流浪，还没有安定的打算。
或，
在流浪，为了寻找自己的归宿。

Q. 除此之外，还在忙些什么？


A.


3. 忙着看书：

罗智成诗集《梦中边陲》
罗智成最新诗集，风格介于《黑色镶金》与《梦中书房》之间。始终是我最欣赏的诗人之一=)

Milan Kundera's Life Is Elsewhere
书中弥漫淡淡惆怅，但还是觉得他的The Unbearable Lighness Of Being （《生命中难以承受的轻》）更melancholy、更经典。

Augusto Boal's Theatre Of The Oppressed （中译本）
据说中译本比英译本好，还在阅读过程中，暂不置评。

浅田弘幸《信蜂》(Hiroyuki Asada's Letter Bee)
最新收集的日本漫画，作者浅田弘辛是我最欣赏的漫画家之一，在中文漫画界的知名度却没有得到应有的瞩目，但他的画工真的很棒、很赞！

4. 忙着看戏：

Heroes Series 1 (TV Serial)
非常巧妙的构思，只是尚未解答的谜团太多了! 据说会有5 Series！不知道多久后才能完整掌握Heroes 的世界观。

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (Movie)
Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet 主演的科幻爱情喜剧。虽然两人剧中的表现很棒，但还是会想，这样的故事题材，如果交到日本或韩国人手上，应该会有更好的发挥吧。

雲のむこう、約束の場所 (The Place Promised In Our Early Days)
新海城（Makoto Shinkai）执导的日本动画片。剧种：科幻爱情。非常富有诗意。现实中是否有这样的纯爱存在？

还有一大堆要看的书籍、电影，在慢慢累积灰尘…

最近１

Q: 最近在忙些什么？

A:

1. 在本地剧团戏剧盒（DramaBox）帮忙。不算intern，也不是打工，因为没有薪水拿。但时间自由，也有其它非物质的收获=)

2. 忙着生病。前几个礼拜泻肚子，错过了第一场What Matters？的讲座；上个礼拜撞伤脚（至今还红肿），错过了“飞越蓝海”早报文化论坛。所以，也忙着遗憾，和累积脂肪=(
