Return of the Bling

While it is a truth that I am not really bling, a man can dream, can't he? *Blink* *Blink*

Anyway, it's been a long while since I last blogged. I kept thinking, "one hour is enough!", so here I am again. It's probably because of the recent tight schedule, what with cross country, and the new play performance, and tests that march from Isengard that everytime I want to get up and blog, they scream "You shall not pass".

And then there's Gandalf. Battle for Middle Earth is time's worst enemy.

I must warn many of you before I continue though. This Monday, you may see one of the world's greatest abominations on this website. I shall be forced to blog in Chinese. Though I tried to parley, it didn't really go as planned.

On a completely unrelated note, it's not that easy to type with your nose.

We have an encore performance coming up soon. I'm sure we all remember that kickass play that I kept ranting about. Well, your suffering's not over yet. We're having an encore performance on Thursday. It's going to be twice as kickass. How should I put this...

It's going to be like the release of the PS3. For instance, it got postponed time and time again. And it also was a major letdown when it was finally released...

...

Maybe I should compare it to something else.

Anyway, come down to the theatrette this Thursday for that performance you missed. Please also remember that we only have change for small notes. Thank You.

And on another completely unrelated note, the Stomp issue is getting a bit out of hand. Either that, or it's getting under control. I'm not sure. More people... er... people are becoming aware of exactly what happened, but at the same time, there's more hullabaloo over what happened.

For those of you who live in Rock Avenue, someone apparently told Stomp (that shitty little news portal) that we polluted East Coast Park during our Cross Country run. If you care to read the "news" article, here it is.

If the article was even the slightest bit professional, it could be forgiven. That way, we don't lose our reputation, and I can save some .50. In this case, however, you can practically drown in the article's sarcasm. It's just insulting and as if that wasn't enough, they slap the label "NUS High Students" on all of us. Those who didn't litter are still dragged down with the rest.

There isn't even the slightest mention of how there was rain after the event, and how the Year 3s were barely given time to catch their breath after the run, before being dragged off on an even more... less peaceful game of Cabadi.

Johannes 1, Rasputin 0 by the way.

There's one good thing that came out of this whole shit though. We all agree that the tard who leaked this news to the public is... well.. a tard. A lot of controvery has sparked over whether the report he gave was accurate... what should be done to hi- er... what should HAVE been done to HIM, and what we look like in the public's eyes now (besides fear).

It's said that the mole is a NUSHs student. While I'm more content in believing that the mole is a complete and total asshole, the former may be true as well. It seems rather confirmed that the Stomper was a NUSHs student, since even our mentor talked about it, and when we bashed him based on the assumption that he was from our school, she didn't correct us (since Shawn agreed too). Either it's true, or she's just as ignorant as we all are.

There's also a lot of shit flying over the information given to Stomp. Some say the bottles were already piled at the trees (the garbage bags were there, and some of us are trained in the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps), and that the chances of the bottles germinating heathily were not as high as it was said in the article.

Stomp is also apparently trying to cover their asses, so I think I'll give them a mask one of these days. They're coercing the mole into making a public apology. Who the apology is meant for, I have no idea. I don't know if they want him to apologise to them (Why the hell for, I also don't have a puppy's paw) or to apologise to us, or to the public (I also think no blue puppy is needed here). Whatever it is, it just seems like their trying to shift the blame somewhere else instead of taking responsiblity.

Yes, the ass-mole did give them an allegedly inaccurate report, but then they could have chosen not to write that article.

Who do I blame then? I blame Stomp. I blame them for not thoroughly checking the "information" they get. I blame them for not having the sense to think what this article would do to our image. I also blame them for trying to shanghai their way out of this. Jack Sparrow they ain't.

And we here at Ex-Play give Stomp 1 plastic bottle out of 5.
