The past 2 entries have all been muttering more on the issues and happenings of drama club. Well, since good things come in 3-es, this entry will still, fortunately (or unfortunately) be yakking about the bustling activities of drama.
Elections are just over and we got our newly elected ex-co members!! Yay!! While there is still a part of me that misses drama very much, it is still rather relieving to step down and give up your post to someone, perhaps, very much more worthy than you.
Anw, I will intro them sooner or later in some of the pictures I took tonight with them. Yep. Just came home from the Post Production Party at the Serangoon Central Country Club which Ms. Kwok’s parents have membership to. It was so fun to be surrounded with friends again. Perhaps that is the main reason why I felt so depressed when I had to give up my mid-summer’s night dream ticket to attend my grandma’s birthday party. Apart from the fact that I have looked forward for that play so long, at least I also know that I wun feel left out.
OKIE! Shant dwell on the depressing issues. Back to the topic..so I meet neetha at the serangoon mrt station to go to the club tgt. Ahaha…got a shock when we reached…LOOK!



*collapse in laughter* whee!! Haha! that is Nigel! Haha...carine, are you seeing this?! Haha...he is so adorable la..and you have to give him respect for it.. like how many boys are willing to do that and do it so well at the same time? Woots! Nigel rawks! Daringly took a picture with him...hee hee...
had loads of fun taking photos and watching videos made by the “making of Othello” people. we had so much to talk and laugh about. Went home arnd 11 plus. Well, just to share a few of the special pictures I took with everyone tonight

Photo of the Night



I truly, truly, deeply, really lurve this photo to bits and pieces. I mean, apart from the fact that we look okay in the photo, these are people that I have come to love and treasure in my life. For those who do not know, from left to right, that’s Mr. Chong, Ms Kwok, Vanessa (me), Neetha, Yu Zhen and Tina. All are people that have allowed me to stand strong during the production and do my job properly. Really treasure this special picture hence hope to share with you guys. =)

Some other photos include


The four of us are actually a few of the team who headed the Drama Night “Othello”. I suppose anyone who is close enough to me will know that the one on my left is Neetha. She is the sets manager. And the other girl next to me is Yu Zhen – the small props manager. As for the one on my farthest right, she is Anandhi – wardrobe mistress. Anandhi is the current vice-president of Drama Club. Really proud of her.

And of course, the one standing next to our vice president in this photo, is my dear successor, Hui ling!! She is your drama president 2007 – 2008. Took many of them tgt so that they can choose which one to put on our drama notice board. Haha.



other pictures include...



me with 2 of the boys from Big Props. They look as if I ill-treated them a lot. Sigh. But if you take a closer look at the rest of the photos they are in, like in the group photo (the last one of this entry) and the one below, you wud realize that they also look this way. Haha..i found out from one of them that its becoz they feel they look better when they dun smile. Haha. But they are all nice people.
































The night ended with a group photo. Its quite sad that the photo was taken quite late cos many of the drama people had alr gone home.



So it was quite a small bunch left and I realize the teachers are not in this shot. Haiz.

Its quite an exciting night that I cannot wait to post this entry straightaway after the event. Hope you like the photos..though I must say there are quite a lot of photos. Haha..knowing me, I will never pass a chance to take pictures of everyone =)

Take care!

Its rather unnerving that just a few weeks back, every single being in the entire drama club and literature cohort was bustling arnd, preparing for drama night and now, every thing just ended with the sudden *poof*..y’know, its like for so long, you have been in this stupid bubble, trying to break away and get outta it – yet when you really do, everything just seem so awkward and quiet. One thing for sure, I have no more reason to be falling asleep during class, and another is that people (esp my assist. Stage manager: yu zhen, and other drama J1s) no longer run faraway from you when they see you in school – in fear of you dumping them with more work to do or something. And most importantly, the entire whole, which includes my parents and teachers, expects me to get my life back on track in a blink – the moment Drama Night ended. I mean the fact that I have been behind schedule for a rather long period of time, doesn’t it make sense that I need a reasonable amount of time to get life back on track as well? You cannot possibly expect me to finish up every outstanding matter within the measly two days of the weekend yea? Haha…that being said, part of me is really glad that the entire production is over, yet there is this longing part of me that still reminisce those days where we stay in school tgt till past 11pm doing rehearsals as well as sleeping on the floors and chairs of the LT2 and rm 565 regardless of our personal hygiene.

Drama Night 2007, in my opinion, was a big accomplishment for me. being the stage manager, my director gave me the call as to
1) when to start the show
2) when to call for interval
3) what lightings I want for which scene
4) make sure everyone entered the right entrance at the right time
5) make sure everyone exited the right exit at the right time
6) gave the green light for latecomers to enter the LT
7) ..
8) ..
9) ..

Basically, if anything goes wrong, the head that will eventually roll is mine. Thankfully, nothing major error happened. Even more thankfully, none of my friends saw the unglam me that was running arnd during the play, scaring the entire population of the cast and crew who didn’t follow instructions and getting all stressed up and all madness inside of me. haha. oOpSs!

Thursday’s rehearsal and Friday’s official commencement Drama Night was very warmly received, mostly because it was attended by our teachers, NY students, NY parents, our dear friends and the admin staff. Few were the unknown outside school people...or shud I say none.

The more stressful plays, I would say for BOTH myself and the casts are the ones acted on Saturday afternoon and evening. These plays were attended by our drama seniors, members from the drama industry (thanks to the acquaintances with our director, Tina) and lit students and teachers from other schools. I did more rounds of supervision and we implemented stricter regulations for drama memb. to follow.

Very tiring. I even gave up halfway during the rounds of inspection and got yu zhen to take over me. such a deary..

Received many lovely flowers from the 0626 girls and boys, chua, kai ling, franson, zhi yang and the most touching was from the drama cast. Woots! Seriously, I thought that I was really gonna step down from drama without any friends at all cos basically the heads were all so strict with them...aww..and guess wad they said “thanks for pushing us to the best that we can achieve”. I suppose it is indeed a nicer way of saying “thanks for never giving us a break, you mean person!” ahaha…but yeap…really nice of them.

Drama production ended with me, neetha, zhi yang and franson going to serangoon central to pig out till 1am in the morning. I suppose it is only times like this that my parents will allow me out till so late. Took a cab back with all of them and had a peaceful sleep till 11am in the morning.

Neetha and I fell sick with stomach flu the next day.

Haha.

Hi ancient blog for the longest time ever...even I think that I have been away from this place for a dramatically looonng time... *sweeps away dust and cobwebs*
Well, to some things all up in a statement, Othello (Drama Night 2007) is finally over, and so will my illness, which hopefully is on its way to speedy recovery.
Oh yes...did I mention, I got to skip skool for about 2 days because of my stomach flu. Missed my chem. Test as a result. The subsequent 2 tests – physics and maths werent done too well because I kept sleeping whenever I got home.
Sigh...just when I tot this week was gonna be a ‘chiong’ week for me to catch up all my tutorials and hw and studies, I had to fall sick. In the end, my week was wasted away talking to the sleeping god, gobbling down medicine, experiencing symptoms of stomach flu like diarrhea and vomiting and PLUS I was suffering from gastric. Yeapz. It made things worse.
Anw, will be updating my blog real soon (I promise) cos I cannot wait to update myself on my views of the Drama Night 2007 and the feedback and thoughts I got from both myself and my friends.
