Yesterday was the best day ever.. As in well, all my time in Np.. yes.. yesterday was the best.. Poly Stage F'Actor.. my cca now.. ok, i noe a lot of u guys muz be thinking that it muz be so boring, joining back the same old cca where i hav had in my sec sch days.. but well, ok.. i wanted to tr out fer the Ambassadors but well, i missed the audition dates so cant blame me though fer not trying.. And i wanted to try fer NRA hip-hop dance too but once i heard that the auditions hav to pay like $5 and some kinda bad comments on the club, i decided to bail.. i mean seriously its jus a rip-off, considering that its not even 100% entry.. Ok, so what still interests me? hmm.. table-tennis actually not bad though.. cuz at least i hav like a little of basics(* self-trained! lols..) n i hav like 8 bats at home.. wait.. However, training ish like 2 days.. *kinda bumm-ed out*.. sorry den, i m kind of lazy.. dat type of don wanna wish to stay in sch fer long type.. Considering how far the sch is from my house.. grr.. tis is so super disgusting.. y did i even choose a sch dat far? i m beginning to tink i m not even in the right state of mind when i m entering my choices.. haas..

Ok, So.. u see, it kind of sums up to...*drumroll...* My.. *flashlights flashing*.. Poly..Stage.. F'.. Actor..* a round of applause...* Haas..ok.. So yesterday, aft location video tutorial which ended at around 3, waited till around 6 n went fer PSF first session.. gt introduced to a whole grp of mates n seniors,which in other words our commitee members.. They are such interseting ppl, jus like de whole bunch of ppl in our first session.. Everyone are super hyper, fun-loving,crazed and DRAMATIC.. Tis is actually wat i hav always liked about drama.. the ppl will always be so enthusiastic n out-of-da-box.. u can neva imagine wat will happen the next moment.. its like surprises all throughout n we r constantly on our toes.. jumpy/ not really.. creepy/ not too.. more likely excitement! Oh, n our instructor is from Wayang Warehouse which i hav neva really heard before till then.. tink its a new thetre company that is oso under a charity organisation.. But, from the folder they gave us, i can see that they do produce some really great plays which i wud definitely luv to catch if an opportunity arises.. And, haas.. so much crapping here n i hav not even introduced our instructor's name: Mr Dennis Tan(artistic Director of Wayang Warehouse).. cool rite? hee..

And, the practice sessions fer the first session seemed farmiliar as what Mark Waites taught us n what my sec 1 n 2 chinese drama teacher taught.. missed those times.. we were taught spaces covering n some really fun stuff to make us feel comfortable wif handling our body n compositions.. And, time flies so fast that i din even noe its time to pack up n head fer home.. Oh.. wait.. its said that our first production might be some adapted scene from 'Beauty World' or 'Army Daze'.. haas.. jel see tis? what r u thinking now? tink my insrtuctor muz luv Dick Lee la.. A Very big 'maybe'.. haas..

ok, lastly.. ppl might tink drama is jus smth of fame n spotlights.. the glamour n popularity.. Yes, these r stuff that are components or rather the after-effects of a production, but yet to me tis are more to the secondary portion of drama.. Some might say tis is jus my hypocritical way of thinking but not the true side of what i really might be 'cooking' in my brain.. But seriously speaking, fame n glamour has its price to pay.. why wud ppl stoop so low jus to get their faces covered in big screens? Hav they considered what the consequences might be?parapazzi fer one..
To me, i like drama.. i wont say love.. its too strong a word or rather an emotion to use.. i m only at the starting pt of another new place, another foreign ground.. i cant really say i wud love it yet.. Time has to prove its worth! But, i definitely like drama, the acting,the scriptwriting-- i like being a totally diff person on stage, being wild n crazy in a role which i wud neva ever be in real life.. i get to experience the emotions i don get to do so in real life situations.. On the stage, i m not who i am.. i assumed a different identity, an idntity that disappears once the curtain's down.. Its full of elements of surprise n evoke a sense of emotional upheaval at times.. That's Drama n that's me.. Many values can be cultivated thru drama, many things to learn.. PSF is a part of the theatre all around, And i m part of PSF..
