do you like coffee in the evening.

you know, the more i live, the more i'm convinced of the bonding properties of theatre and pursuing it. i think that perhaps what attracts me most to working in the theatre industry is all the people i've met, all the people i've worked with, and all the people i've had the priviledge of bonding with. and i think it's really funny how people always seem so amazed when i say my JC experience was more enjoyable than my secondary school experience. i think the component in my JC equation which was not in theirs was TSD. and the beautiful people that graced the walls of our dark cupboard of a changing room in our old studio and fell asleep in the wardrobe of the new one.

i'm writing, because i realised that i'm beginning to collect memories in NUS. and it's only the first semester, which makes me optimistic as to how it'll all turn out. yes. mark the change in expression towards feelings about NUS. i feel almost embarrased for lambasting it so much previously. :P

i think no matter how much i felt Theatre Studies in NUS wasnt fun, well, it's changed. we had our group presentation for our Practical portion of assesment yesterday, and i went to bed at 7am in the morning after working the whole night on a portfolio for lighting design. when i woke at 11am, naturally i was a little deranged. but adrenaline, that beautiful chemical, pumped through my system and i was wide awake.

i cant imagine myself actually talking good stuff about theatre studies, but i suppose if i am to join it, at some point i must find that one thing that makes it enjoyable. i only wished my group mates would consider taking TS too. i think they're all brilliant, and honestly, i could not have asked for anyone better. :)

so here are photos, those precious memories forever kept alive by technology. :) i dont have all the nice ones, but i'm putting in the better ones :)



Our beautiful set. :) the peranankan way of life is quite funky, ah? :)


i have to prove my skills as a lighting designer, dont i? if only i wasnt limited by the setting man! i had to use whatever there was. absolutely no way of re-rigging!!


Our dearly beloved director. you should have seen his dynamics with Zhon Yun. hilarious!!! :D


that's us, without the director. guy in the photo's the set designer. me doing lights, therefore rest of them doing acting. i think they were in character. :)


we were the moving company. we had to get up abonimably early one saturday when we had rehearsals to move stuff from our homes in the east to get to clementi by 630am. yes. i woke up at 5. that's yisi by the way. :) love the dude to bits lah, especially after all the near death experiences we had in her car. P Plate what!

ok that's about it for now. nice photos not here yet. when i get em i'm uploading them :)

now, econs, that sickening science passing off as an arts subject, beckons. SIGH. exams. DAMNIT.
