sea crash exercise

there was a sea crash exercise at the airport today. the scenario in brief: a flight from Pro Brono Airlines (ficticious) crashed into the sea before it could land at Changi Airport leaving various numbers of passengers dead and injured. the aim of this exercise was to evaluate the responsiveness of the airlines and airport staff...how they react to a disaster and crisis management.

12 interns, including me and those in my office were roped in to play the role of next of kins of the passengers onboard. the officer who briefed us before the exercise gave us very limited background information to our assigned role and told us to 'just use our own discretion and let the creativity flow...'

at first i was thinking...we will surely 笑场 once we see each other acting and make a big joke out of it. either that, or it's going to be 冷场 and then it will be a flop! wah lau eh damn paiseh lah...

but guess what? in the end it turn out that i was wrong...in fact, VERY WRONG! the moment we started acting, everyone became damn serious lah!... all like vying for this year's 红星大奖 like that sia!!

shawny acted as a rowdy and impatient man, he does not want to listen to apologies. he heard rumours that his uncle is dead and turned violent!

shawny: "you know how i feel or not? now i don't even know if my uncle is dead or alive! and all you can tell me is to wait, wait and wait! ask me if i want to eat sandwiches somemore, like as if i still got appetite like that!"
*kicks chairs violently and at least 4 chairs flew a meter away*

police: "sir, please calm down. if not i will have to put you under arrest"

shawny: "bloody hell! you want to arrest me is it? my uncle is dead and you want to arrest me?! what nonsense is this!....you handcuff me lah! handcuff me!"

goes to ME! hahahaha...buay paiseh
my role was relatively easy to act lah...i was supposed to be a demanding person and wants more information to be revealed and fast. so i kept harrasing the airline ladies like every 5 mins for more info. i was also supposed to stir up the emotions of other next of kins sitting in the room by 加-ing 盐 and 加-ing 醋, to make everyone riot against the airline staff. got quite a bit of 感情戏 involved also. cos must act worried and sad....

in conclusion, the entire acting drama thingy was cool shit!!!!! we enjoyed the whole process so so much! and this was really an awesome way to end my internship lah!!! apparently our acting was so good that alot of the airline staff came to ask us if we belonged to some drama company that the airport outsourced for this operation. hahahaha!!!

cool shit! :)
