First things first, deepest apologies for having deserted this blog for ages now. I have really been super caught up with Dramafest commitments and finally, it's over. I say this with partial reluctance and a heavy heart but I'm FREE! (:

I guess the past 2-3 weeks have been a foreshadow and precursor to the kind of hectic life that will gradually expose itself as these 2 years pass by with no hesitation. Staying back in school till unearthly hours and then returning home, only to realize that you have yet to do any homework yet. Really, I cannot put into words the experience that Dramafest has given me and this will perhaps be one of the most if not the most memorable experience across my 2 years in JC.

Acting has always been my passion and I guess I never really thought much about it. My decision to join players is more than getting in because I have to or because I can (since I'm already in Dramafest). I have been doing a little self-reflection and I discovered that since Secondary 1, I have always taken a vested interest in acting roles. I must admit I was never any good back in those days (not like I'm a superstar now either but there has been marked improvement) and perhaps that explains why I never really had the opportunity to be on stage. But this year's Dramafest confirmed my suspicions and truly I embrace the stage, more than most layman or even actors can claim. When I stood on stage, I felt my body levitate itself to the center of the spotlight, and my eyes fixated on the audience, waiting for the beat before their heartwarming laughter. I love the attention and I soak the limelight. You may call it egoism, but this is the passion that I will enter Players with (:

Dramafest has really been an extremely physically exhausting and psychologically taxing experience. Angst and sorrow were but two of the most frequent emotions that spontaneously surfaced and these rollercoaster of emotions take our morale from one end of the spectrum to the other. Honestly, I'm really pleased with the performance we put up yesterday because in my eyes, it was our best run and I was literally within the circle of energy emanating from the stage. Doesn't matter that we got second-last in position, we were champions in our own spirit.

This will probably be my baby footsteps into the acting dimension and I anticipate so much more.

But for now, I have to retract back into the depths of cold, harsh reality. Everyone has to break their character sometimes, and this ends here.

Goodbye Rex, Amy, Sean (character) and Zoey.


Hi. I am Sean, let's begin.
