after 2 weeks of camping back in school till late in the day, dramafeste finally summed up that 2 weeks of hard work.. the cast prob put in even more work than 2 weeks.. haha.. anyway, everyone played their own part in this entire production.. :) we put up a beautiful performance last night, and trashed the other 3 facs.. :) ares bagged the prestigious best play award (which has been hogged by apollo for the past 6 years), best supporting actor (donny trump), best ensemble (which eddy clarified includes chorale, props, lights and sound :) ), and best director (eddy, cheryl!!.. :):) )..
when it was our turn to perform last night, i was super nervous.. initially, as we moved the props out of the avt, i was still laughing like mad thanks to nickhong who were singing can you feel the love tonight.. diao..haha.. but later, as we parked everything outside lt3 awaiting for our turn to go in and trash the other 3 facs, i suddenly felt that sense of fear..fear that we wont live up to our very own expectations..fearful that things wont turn out as we want it to.. the time came anyway, and we went in to put up a good show.. usually, i would feel super cold in lt3 thanks to the great air-conditioning system..but yest, i felt very warm, to the extent that i started sweating.. must have been the enthusiasm surging up within me.. halfway through the play, wen came back from her guitar lesson.. :) great moral support she gave us..haha..her presence certainly made a difference..thanks to yuqin who stood in for her cos she simply couldn miss her guitar lesson..i think props has great team spirit.. :) i love my grey door..haha..for the first time since we started rehearsing with the cast, i got the timing right to move the grey door when arthur was supposed to exit the stage.. i was supposed to move it right after he said "okay, i am just about to leave now", and then he would step right in, and i would wheel the door to the other end of the stage.. haah.. the cue was he would say his line, and then i would count "one, two, three" and move the door.. haha.. that was flawless in my opinion.. :) after the performance, we went back to the avt.. wanted to sneak into lt3 to watch apollo's play..but it was packed to the brim.. so we went back to the avt.. the seniors started playing musical chairs..haha..they were probably reliving a second childhood..the rest of us got free entertainment watching them play..haha..
awaiting for the announcement of the results was scary.. apollo had supposedly changed their script overnight in response to our overwhelming performance on thu night.. :) we remained steady and calm, and performed our best.. :) really, i was scared that we wont be able to bag the best play award as many others who watch the performance on thu had predicted already.. we got the first award of best suporting actor, and apollo bagged the subsequent three (best supporting actress, best actor and best actress)..then athena got the best script award.. i was so scared..so afraid since we were lagging behind apollo at that time.. but well, we managed to bag the last three awards : best director, best ensemble, and BEST PLAY!!.. woo hoo!!.. haha.. really song1 le1 yi4 kou3 qi4.. :):):) after that, we went back to the avt to celebrate..haha..we did the fac dance..haha..but it wasnt as nice as during the prac sessions or the cny celeb cos the music was too soft and there was not enough space..but well, it was enough to feed my craving of doing the fac dance again.. haha.. then we had pizza..and cake.. :):):) ares rocks man.. haha..
now, got no more dramafeste to look forward too.. :( life has to go back to the mundane lectures and tutorials.. at least i will get more sleep and hopefully rid of the heavy dark eye circles..but then, it means less fun to look forward to each day.. dramafeste has been the highlight of each day for the past 2 weeks..despite the fact that i only got home past 10 each day.. i will also miss the gambling sessions where we played tai ti and bridge like no one's businesss..haha.. well, we managed to influence the seniors to start their own gambling den also..haha..
i think we did a great job.. :):):) dramafeste would have been so different without the enthusiasm of 74ers.. haha.. where can you find such helpful and fun-filled pple like us?.. :):):) 74 rocks!!.. :):):)
