And today's module is storywriting. I love this module. Hoohoo. Problem's about creating the settings for a game. So here's my very long story/settings of the game. I start off in chapter 1, the opening scene- Haunted house.
*crickets creaking in the background*
He wakes up with a start, his heart pounding. He sits half-naked on the rumpled bed, his blankets strewn all over the floor amidst his other possessions, listening intently.
There! He heard it again, footsteps shuffling about the house. He gets out of the bed, throwing on a plain white t-shirt and a coat that is hanging by his bed post. Bending to retrieve a baseball bat lying on the floor, he starts towards the door, unconsciously tip-toeing.
“Shit”, he mutters to himself as he turns the doorknob and pulls, the door creaking. It seems to magnify ominously in this big empty house that he moved into this morning. He creeps out of his bedroom, gripping the bat so tightly in his sweaty hands. He enters pitch black darkness and for a moment, all he can hear is his heart pounding. Then slowly, the darkness melt away to reveal a foreign house, one he hasn’t seen before. He isn’t in his house anymore. He turns back to where his bedroom door was supposed to be and sees a blank stretch of wall instead.
A purple mold-eaten carpet stretches along the corridor and grime encrusts the edges and corners of the windows. The moon cast a weak, sickly glow on everything it touches. Peering out of a window coated with grease so thick, it blurred the surroundings outside, he sees a grey flat land stretches away to endlessness. Bare trees are scattered around like thickets of thorns. Rocks of different sizes and shapes are littered here and there.
With a thick, dry gulp, he readjusts his hold on the bat and walks on, breathing hard. As he passes an elaborately carved archway of flowers and skulls, a flurry of bats rushed out of the gloom ahead, their wings beating against his face and body. With a yell and swinging his bat wildly, he rushes into a hall, his footstep echoing into the dead silence, mingling with the screeches of the bats.
Running blindly, his arms flung up to shield his face, the spine-tingling notes of an organ begins. It’s notes floated eerily towards him and a chill spread around him. Mist came out of his mouth with every noisy breath. Very slowly he turned, and he screams a broken, blood curdling scream of a grown guy.
An army of bats beat their wings or hang upside down above the many bronze pipes of an organ situated on a wide platform joined to the main hall by a few broken steps. The organ sits on a beautiful, richly-colored Victorian carpet that spreads on the whole platform. A chandelier hanging with crystals sparkle above all, casting an orangey light. It, the carpet and the organ are the only beautiful things in the whole house. Apparently, no one is playing the organ.
He got to get pass the bats and exits the house which is located a storey up. Unfortunately, the stairs to the higher storey curves away from the two ends of the platform, which the organ and bats are smacked right in the middle of. With a deep breath, he rushes up the steps and towards the bats. Immediately, bats swoops down at him.
lol --> (Player controls character up the stairs. Every few steps, player will be forced to stop and beat off the bats with his baseball bat)The stairs is covered with a musty red carpet and the banister is elaborately carved in the same pattern as the archway. Dust rises up with every heavy step. Slime coated the walls hung with grimy paintings and portraits of pompous people with big gowns and wigs. A door with the wood and paint peeling away stood half open at the top of the stairs. Dashing through it, he slammed the door shut and the whole house seems to shake at the force of it.
The main hall seems drearier than the basement. White sheets was draped over sparse furniture and fog curled around. Cobwebs stretch across covered furniture and grey wooden walls. A chandelier similar to the one in the basement, but unlit and dusty, hangs high above. The dust enters his nose and he sneezed. Again, the sound seems loud and ominous in the creepy house. Hurrying towards the only door, he turned the cold bronze of the door knob and steps out into the chill of the night.
The end.
lol. The rest of the chapters and scenes is written by others.

Once, for all my love, it went unrequited.
It was humilated and people dun deserve it, I thought.
Now, for all your love, I feel so unworthy of it.
I dun feel like I deserved it.
I feel so bad for all your love.

American Cheese is smooth, with light, yellow or orange color. The cheese is usually cut into square slices and it does not separate when melted. It has a mild taste.
[ Country: United States Texture: semi-soft ]
You are a smooth, lightly colored, square-shaped cheese. You are a classic simple cheese. You are cautious and practical and very down to earth.

No one can play Holy Spirit in my life.
I'm sorry but I'm just not at all interested to know your thoughts or feeling
I wanna hear no comments about it from anybody if in the first place,
BECAUSE in the FIRST place, you guys
didn't bother about my thoughts or feelings.
You teased me, you disturbed me, you are not
genuinely concerned, you are just using me and whatever that's up with me to generate discussion and talk.
If you care, if you bother, if you see the road I'm on leading towards trouble, you wouldn't DO that would you?
You wouldn't push what you think is the trouble together. You wouldn't make fun of me and treat it like a joke and it's nothing.
It's not because of the jokes and
teasing, it about you DOING it and then saying ANOTHER thing.
It's irks me! So
stop talking about it! No more, nothing!
The End.

Spotlights and black cloths, mist and overwhelming crowd.
In the midst of all a girl stood with small hands
rised,
before the stage and altar, trembling before the Lord.
God see and God knows...
The broken heart and the shattered soul.
The tears shed and
cries and whimpers in the night.
He held the hand and gently blows,
woosh...
darkness and love wrap around and the little girl slept.
It's during this time that I realise how much I love you...Hands that hold the heavens,
hold my heart tonight.
Love pierce through my darkness,
glorious light.
Words of life eternal,
heal my broken soul.
To whom will I go,
there's no one else but You alone.

It's me alone. To fend for myself.
All the lies and excuses past, knowing the game's up.
But yet will come more deceit with every lie.
What should be said, kept past long.
Pushed back always with a promise made, an assurance said.
But a plan was never form, an action never taken.
The talk is dead and in the end it is just me, thinking hard.
All the stress, to defend a two, the work of one.
All the stress, knowing it shouldn't be, deceiving my heart and consciousness.
To the One above all who knows it all.
And to myself who was taught the way.
Come what may.

Alright alright! I'm back from Helicon Camp and my brother graduated from P.
Tekong.
Hoho. My dog worked herself into a frenzy when I came through the door. She must have missed me so much. I think she nearly got
elipsy when less than 5 minutes later, my parents and brother came back too. What a big crowd all of a sudden, she might be thinking. Poor her, spent the whole day by herself.
Btw,
Shih Tzus have the ability to self-entertain themselves.
Hahaha.
And I found out that the creative or left-handed, right brained(
lol?) people have better
psychic abilities.
Haha.
Camp was quite a fiasco. But then,
Rexaz first camp wasn't really good too. So..takes time people. Anyway, we have fun among ourselves. =) And it wasn't any that unfruitful in a sense. In fact, we stir them up and create FUN for them. Next time should send the whole
Rexaz go.
Haha. Infect the whole camp with our
Rexaz spirit. Ya!
Right. Holidays are ending by this week. I'm so sad and it's so short
pls. Time flies. I haven really been shopping....Aw. And no more Wednesdays off =( got a five day week, five modules but thank God I'm in a stable class now. No more different faces everyday.
And also, also, dance test result is out. I'm quite thankful and amaze. By far better than I thought. =) Well....
haha, next stop- handstands and cartwheels
lol. && I just remembered in the camp, we were asked to shake hands with
ppl from other
IGs and say something nice. Niki came up and told me, you will be able to do a proper cartwheel one day.
Haha.
Btw, she can do a really nice toe-touch. Single jump, high and wide. Woo! Sigh~ I'm happy. =)

Woo. A few more hours before midnight strikes and I turn 18. And every year, but not this year, I quite anticipate, and fear, this day...because I dunno how is it gonna be like. I dun organize big gatherings and plan outings with my family and friends to celebrate. Maybe because I dun have an extensive list of people to invite, or maybe because I'm
afraid of my worth in people's eye and so afraid of their response.
Hmm. Oh, there will be the usual
ang baos from my parents and grandma..and sometimes a dinner out together on another day, celebrating both me and my brother's birthdays. The day itself is always spent at home and it goes on until 2 years ago.
Came my Daddy up in heaven. I can remembered my 16
th birthday onwards...well, it was quiet. Just 2 person. Me and my first sister-friend. But I will not forget her or that day, or the days together. She bought me two presents, which is more than I ever
recieve or wish for because I didn't ask for any. Two tops which I often wear now still. Ironically, we went to far far
woodlands Causeway Point too, to eat
seoul garden and go library to study for our
O's lol. yeah study. But that's not the main point. That's Geraldine Foo. =)
Moving on, after
O's, I went on to Republic Poly, which is at Woodlands (I stay east). Boy, the north side is where all the wonderful memories are created.
Heee. So on the 17
th year of my life, I remember there was
Rexaz training.
haha. It was newly set up then. And before that
TRP o6 celebrated at Pizza hut for me. Rather uncomfortable cause I dun really know them and I thank the guy who organize it though it's sort of like a one stone kill two birds kind of thing u know. But it's still nice to know people make the effort even for some1 they dunno. =) So then rush down for training and was early. Iggy and Joseph was there. And they have something up their sleeves.
lol. It's something small but nevertheless, I was really touched. A small cake, with a candle which they insist I blow 17 times, nearly and a little card and
photo frame. It's all on my room's desk now still.
And God indeed is unfathomable. =) How one thing leads to another in my life...things of no link but yet come together into my life..the people He brought.
Wohoo!
Haha. Gosh, tomorrow
Mr.
Patrick is coming up with a surprise which he kept secret for many weeks despite my pestering. The clues he gave....as well dun give la. I'm so happy. I guess it'll be quiet. But I like it. Just sincere and simple =) with lots of love.
P.S I just remembered. Last year, Joseph and Iggy got the dates messed up and Iggy called me at the wrong day to wish me happy
b'day! A few days later, he called again, around this time, this date last year, he sang an early birthday song because he can't keep his eyes open any longer.
Hahaha. Okay...he's
genuinely embarrassed. God bless this 2 guys. =)

Holidays are here. And 17 more days before school starts again. Like so fast la. Anyway, my vista crashed and I'm so so angry. Somehow, the desktop and
taskbar disappeared and I couldn't get it out again. It's not the first time and I always mange to solve the whole thing by restoring the system. But it doesn't work this time. It always happens when I delete mp3 folders. Like what in the world has mp3 got to do with the desktop right?
Argh! Thank God I have two systems in my
lappy. And I
vouch for
XP now. Who really cares about designs? You can download blinds and themes for your
XP and it's still
stabilize. If ever one day
XP will be
eliminated, I will get a Mac over a Vista! Now, for once I'm sounding like a geek. *fuming*
Sometimes, being simple-minded isn't a bad thing. You'll be happier ignoring not the truths and facts of life but the ugly side of people and those nasty things said about you. The things I heard
ytd, I was shocked to hear such disdainful words from people I thought I've known for 3 years.
Spectaculating and questioning some1's
reliability and godliness, like as if we all have any right to deem a person ungodly. For all I know, I was the topic of their discussion once. But I shan't think about that. There's seriously a larger and brighter side of life that I can focus on. Life's still great.
