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.
