Today I shant talk about lessons. Its always mundane and humdrum. I tink my classroom attitude is getting from bad to worst. Anyway, after RE today which was slack as usual (I have absolutely no idea why they allocated an extra period to RE), we had a revival of the 2F bottlecap soccer! Lol, I couldnt stop laughing at the way we played. It brings back one year old memories. In between the time of school dismissal and Shakespeare 24, I played table tennis with Vincent. I dont know why he's so enthusiastic about it but what the heck. No harm done playing. Then i was roaming around the school for what I didnt know, and before dinner, it started pouring. Anyway, we still made to the theatre in time.
The event was called Shakespeare 24, comprising 3 different plays by RI, HCI and RJC respectively. It was supposedly to celebrate his 444 birthday.
Play 1 [Macbeth by RI]: Despite being pretty good and performed by the RA Lit guys, RI still got owned by the other two plays in terms of audience's receptiveness. The mood was like all solemn and serious. We recognised a few people (which was the point of watching the plays), like Bargraph and John Choo. It was rather interesting to see them perform. Then there was the one and only girl from RJ playing the role of Lady Macbeth. She even did the Lady Macbeth soliloquy, namely the one which begins with "Come you evil spirits, unsex me here..." It was very... powerful.
Play 2 [Twelfth Night] :This was the one I liked most cause it was very appealing to people of our age. Why? It was very sexually-humoured. Well, at least most of it. There was once when some character said "I shall ride to [somwhere I cant remember], as I ride you". LOL.
Play 3 [Midsummer Night's Dream] : Another Shakespearen comedy. It was supposedly adopted into some modern context. Hmm, the only thing I can say was that Titus and the former gymnastics captain drew the most attention, Titus for his superb drama skills while the latter likewise although slightly different.
I dont know anything about the 2nd and 3rb play at all, so I cant say much.
Now comes the emo part of the post. Seeing Titus, I cant help but feel envious of him. He's like the perfect prefect all-rounder, awesome physical attributes, good in academics, a professional judocast and a wonderful actor. Hes like miles away from me. Well, this is after all the top premier school in sg, so i guess it aint that bad. Still it sucks.
Here's a pic of the postcard which i bought (coincidentally the first pic on my blog):
Personally, I thought that this was quite well done, but the posters outside were much nicer. Sadly, I didnt get to take them since the break wasnt exactly long and besides, there were people walking up and down.
I bought 2 postcards for $0.50 each and donated an additional $0.50 to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, thanks to Sup. Well, its late already and Im beat.
We are but players on stage.
