The Improv Experience
For those of you not in the know, I took part in an 'Introduction to Improv' class at the UW Hillel (the Jewish Students' Association), organized by the Hillel and 2 members of Quiet Monkey Fight, Dan and Jed. We met every Tuesday and basically messed about for 1.5 hours, having fun, laughing and just doing improv work.
The experience itself was generally good - though I do think we would've benefited more from more time AND more people participating. But we had a good time and we generally enjoyed each others' company, and Dan II (that's what I call him, haha) and myself had the chance to show off what we had learnt over the month. It wasn't the greatest performance but it was a nice ending and left us generally happy. :)
So here's a 'class photo':
Dan II, Dan, Jed and myself. The crutches are Jed's. :)
And the 'graduation video':
enjoy folks! I know I did. :) Props too to Luc and Bob who took time out to watch me, even though Casey was having her birthday celebration. I feel... Decidedly unguilty. :p

Just a continuation of the photos of the night which fell to me surreptitiously. :p
Me and Casey (L) and Krista (R) - Tris and his Taiwanese fetish continues.
The other folks from the table. I'm a bit hardpressed to remember names but faces la huh.
Me and Luc.
So that's it for the photos from last week - Here's hoping for more exciting times this week. :) Still a bit seh from blood loss but to be expected I suppose.

And A Mindblowing Weekend
It's been a good week, and hopefully the start of new exciting turnarounds that leave Tris a little happier as a conceptual whole. :)
I went for the TSA Semi-Formal Dinner over the weekend, and it was hella fun. I think some of my friends were a little disappointed at the lights (the lack thereof rather, meaning we were in a dark room without flashy thingies) and the music (which I thought was damn good - the usual RnB fare that I craved), but the most important thing for me was that I spent it with friends, had a great time and enjoyed myself.
No, no chicks as usual that I danced with but somehow Tris felt better here than at Luxy. :p
So, some photos from the event:
The bunch of us that went together.
Tris and his 2 homeboys Bob and Luc.
The above photos to prove that I was there and not some delusional episode taking over my mind. :p
Me and Angela - Miss Taiwan for the night. No it's not a joke and yes she's really nice. A lot of these photos were from her camera.
The slutty shot - compulsory AND made the girls laugh.
I have a picture with me and the 2 cute Taiwanese chicks floating about somewhere on their camera but they have not passed it to me yet. Once that gets to me Tris promises to show his night was not in complete waste.
Mum, Dad, I was not drunk. I just get red easily and dance like that. I promise.
The Red Lion Hotel - I had a damn good time, and the hope is real that we shall have opportunities to recreate the fun. :)
So suffice to say, it's been a damn fun week, and this week looks to get even better. I'm meeting the other Singaporeans for dinner on Wednesday, have an improv performance on Thursday and lunch with the Thais on Friday and dinner with law people (I think) on Friday. Swell week huh? :)
Only bummer is the exams coming up, but Tris never lets that bother him now.
---------------------------------------------
Oh, and a personal appeal from my achy left arm:
Please donate blood! It only takes up an hour of your time but could save someone else's life. This is one cause I personally swear by and the funky green bandage and little ache is but a small price to pay.
Ok folks, on with my starting-to-get-fantastic life. :)

It Was A Good Day
And I had the insanest of best moods this morning, happily singing away. :) It's all a bit weird, but there you go.
1) Met another Singaporean at Bible study - his name is Dan, he's in Bellevue (which is nearby) and we're going for dinner with other Singaporeans he knows next week. WHOO! Roxx.
2) Met another Singaporean at this event:
If you're interested, you can email me to ask more. For the primer, you can check out the wiki entry right here. I have my own take but suffice to say you'll have to email me to get more.
anyhow, met another Singaporean who's been in America for 5 years now, and we had dinner so that was pretty fun. The only thing I will say is that this other girl of Chinese origin also ignored me throughout, and I'm not entirely convinced it was because she was shy. So much for solidarity.
3) Making new friends in school. :) And meeting some old ones over the course of the week, so ROXXOR.
Tris is happy for once, and won't be emo for you all to see. :) More pics should be up over the week! :D

For My Amusement...
Because in some sense, it lets me know I'm not alone. :)
And the stupid shit Tris must deal with in America:
Be not deceived folks - Your eyes do not lie and this shit hits the sky. I had to swallow some pride in taking this picture. Pronounciation I can deal with, but 'accent reduction'? You mean American's DON'T have an accent? Closeminded $%!$!&#*@!(rs.
