Notes of a drama

Although I wouldn't claim to have contributed much to the drama, I'd like to think that I wasn't completely and utterly useless. Well, don't we all? Convincing ourselves that we are more important than we really are? Anyhow, I would say we started our drama earlier than other classes. Hence, I'm sure you can imagine the humiliation if we failed to win. I mean, what excuse can you give? Not enough time? Now that would be pretty ironic..or a big fat lie. Well, the only part I could say I contributed in was the scriptwriting segment. Some ideas, editing and other menial duties. The idea was quite cute, I suppose. You know, with the superhero and the villian... The actual script was done mainly by sze yuin and to whoever that disliked the script, how easy do you think it is to write a script? Not naming names here but a play about four 'cool' guys and their stupid janitor is NOT a worthy play. Alright, I really have to stop ranting here. It's terribly unhealthy on my fragile state of mind. So after the script was done and edited countless times-I swear, the final product looked practically unrecognizable-practice commenced. And wow, was there drama. More pre drama than the actual drama, in my humble opinion. Well, with such strong personalities running the show, what do you expect? What CAN you expect? I mean, certainly everyone has a different interpretation of the play and that's where the problem arises. It's funny though because there, the class is split into 3 camps; the ones that are overtly passionate about the drama, the ones that don't care if there was or wasn't a drama and of course, my personal favorite, the ones that didn't even know the drama existed. Sometimes, our class makes good fodder for comedy but somehow, by nook or by crook, the drama managed to get done and the cast and crew did their best. Of course, not everyone takes it seriously and there will be some obnoxious presence lurking around on stage. From a more subjective point of view, I don't think we performed as fantastically as a couple of other classes (feel free to throw stones at me now) but I guess the important thing is not whether we emerge victorious or not. We had fun, there were some conflicts...gosh, we sound like a replica of any typical Chinese family. Loud, rambunctious and feisty but we care. We care.
