i have decided to retire from the admin team for this blog (after all, i wasnt a very active member, sorry for that) and hand this over to pq. so..do whatever u want with it! hope to see this blog be more active in future tcn endeavours and wish u guys all the best =)--ur very busy, ancient and long forgotten senior
I hope never to forget these lines that I've heard, over and over again in my 4 years:
You can move mountains, you're a Theatre Club girl.
Out of sight, out of mind.
If you can hear yourself, the audience can hear you.
Sec4s, I hate to tell you this... But it's your last show.
Suffer for your art and your art will take care of you.
We are good.
You can hate me, I don't care, but don't hate the one thing that brought us together, Theatre.
BACK IT UP!I want to drink warm water laced with lemon.
To be able to feel that bitter drink enter my lipsticked lips, go down my throat, and then I will know,
I am ready to go.
It'll be crazy counting the number of things I remember about Theatre.
But one thing I hate about myself is how easily I forget. How I could allow myself to forget Theatre, the CCA that has changed me to become who I am today.
Just December I was insisting to my peers we create our own alumni and meet up regularly to do our own show. Everyone protested. We'll all be too busy with JC life, they said. Rubbish! I told them as long as we bothered to make the effort we could manage theatre in our lives.
And I was the one who never had the time. I will change that!
PQ "Hey Xuehui I miss all of you let's have a Theatre gathering before Promos!"
Xue "Okay, you organise!"
PQ "No I am the President my job is to delegate stuff- you are the Public Relations please do a good job! Organise an outing!"
I am such a lazy pig. But I am now excited because I can anticipate meeting my dears on Thursday.
Meeting the people I know by heart, the people who have overcome the odds to make Theatre the big thing in Nanyang it is today, and the people who I not just know by name but by the character they play.
Floozy! Xiang! Xue! Ah lian! Michelle! Janice! Jo! Gab!
I miss you.

The Opening Chapter
Toward a Topography of The Parallel Universe
People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, It's easy.
And it is easy to slip into a parallel universe. There are so many of them: worlds of the insane, the criminal, the crippled, the dying, perhaps of the dead as well. These worlds exist alongside this world and resemble it, but are not in it.
My roommate Georgina came in swiftly and totally, during her junior year at Vassar. She was in a theatre watching a movie when a tidal wave of blackness broke over her head. The entire world was obliterated - for a few minutes. She knew she had gone crazy. She looked around the theatre to see if it had happened to everyone, but all the other people were engrossed in the movie. She rushed out, because the darkness in the theatre was too much when combined with the darkness in her head.
And after that? I asked her.
A lot of darkness, she said.
But most people pass over incrementally, making a series of perforations in the membrane between here and there until an opening exists. And who can resist an opening?
In the parallel universe the laws of physics are suspended. What goes up does not necessarily come down, a body at rest does not tend to stay at rest, and not every action can be counted on to provoke an equal and opposite reaction. Time, too, is different. It may run in circles, flow backwards, skip about from now to then. The very arrangement of molecules is fluid: Tables can be clocks; faces, flowers.
These are facts you find out later, though.
Another odd feature of the parallel universe is that although it is invisible from this side, once you are in it you can easily see the world you came from. Sometimes the world you came from looks huge and menacing, quivering like a vast pile of jelly; at other times it is miniaturized and alluring, a-spin and shining in its orbit. Either way, it can't be discounted.
