Theatre

The sun is shining incredibly outside now, but I'm stuck inside preparing for exams. That's pretty much what's on my mind now, but it'll end soon enough I guess. Anyway, I can't stand this nonsense anymore. I've had it with being stuck with books on weekends. I'm going to find someway to have fun in the sun tomorrow. I'll probably go Sentosa tomorrow. Probably.

I'm currently working on all the journals and essays that I'm supposed to be doing for CDP101. It's great that there aren't exams, but these are the things that I'm going to be graded on, so I'm struggling to do a good job with them. Anyway, last Wednesday we had our final performance and everyone did a great job! I enjoyed all the performances. Everyone stood out in one way or another. Brilliant stuff.

I was quite freaked out when it was my group's turn to perform but I think I did the best job that I've ever done. The part that freaked me out was this guy who rehearses scolding people in the mirror and then bursts out laughing. The cycle of scolding and laughing goes on two times. The character is kind of psychotic so it was a challenge for me. And then I forgot to bring an essential piece of paper on stage, but I improvised a bit and grabbed one from Ros. The timing wasn't as good as it could have been but... it's all over and we're done! It was great still! Next week's the video viewing though and I'm tempted to shut my eyes at the part where I play the Important Person!

I think everyone did a great job and they were all memorable for me. Working with the two groups for lighting was great too. I think I did a decent job and they were all very encouraging and appreciative. Cool!

So after the entire thing was over we took a couple of photos!



Here with our teacher Joanna. A couple of them left early because they had lessons, or there'd be about another 7 people or so!



And these are my groupmates, who coincidentally are from CS. Shannon and Linda left early so I guess we'll be taking another photo next week. We went through so many rehearsals together, fruitful discussions and doing a whole lot of nonsensical stuff while preparing for our performance... It was really a great experience.



And this is the crazy group of people with shitty powers. There's Dustbinboy, Jokerboy, Vulgarboy, Emogirl, Bullshitgirl... and some couple of others that I can't remember!

Next week we'll have our final lesson and celebrating the journey that we've taken in this course. There's going to be potluck and the current list is already making my mouth water!

1. Cheese cake from Shannon
2. Drinks from Kherray (ooh. alcohol... nice.)
3. Samosa from Yen Nee
4. Potato Chips from Chun Yan
5. Melvin from Melvin...haha..just kidding...i will bring my camcorder!! and err...fries from Macdonalds!!!
6. Mango & Macadamia Nut Cookies + SEXY DANCE from Jason spears
7. Oreo wafersssss from ros =]
8. Tissue papers (never underestimate the importance of it) + Xiaolongbaoxxxx (flown in from china). kindly sponsored by xiang.
9. Ham and bread by Yiling

I suggested dressing up to a theme that's related to theatre but I don't know if we'll come to a conclusion before then! Anyway, Melvin included in the e-mail that's being forwarded around, "Jason should dress up!!! u need to dance britney!!!" and that led to Xiang Yu adding that I'm going to do a sexy dance.

Arhm.

What nonsense!!!

On a sidenote, I think CS people (me excluded) are hilariously witty and crazy.

This is the only lesson that I'm going to miss when it all ends.
