Enactment Diary-24th Dec '06

AGR happened yesterday and damn it was one heck of an AGR. From the top shall we?
The day kicked of with practice of my play in the hall when Adrian Mark arrived. My play was the Nativity in Singapore. Guess what. I had to play as Mary. ANYWAY. We practiced their scene for about 7 times through with breaks in the middle before i had to give the stage up for the caroling boys. Corey was getting tired so i took over him as director for the caroling. Gabriel, Adrian and all my other actors were busy with decorations so i didnt have much time to run through with them again. It was like this the day before. we cleared 2000 chairs from the hall before going home. there was practically no time at all to practice the skit.
Finally it was 1 o'clock. Curia started in the heritage room while the rest of us did our thing in the hall. we carried the food up, finallised the schedule, touched up the decor, until the rain came... then charles' obstacle course had to be scraped. We tried to make one indoors but it was too dangerous. Why dont they LISTEN to my idea of a TRUST FALL!!! too late now though.
Then, the games started. I was stuck at the pass the parcel game and bryan kept saboing me at first. I had to hold hands with this SAC gal until at one forfiet, i had to sign on a guys arm. me, being leftie, was holding her hand with my left hand so when my turn came to sign, i signed and never held back. lol. At the end, i had to dance with yet another gal... bryan... but it was good fun though...
After lunch all the SJI idiots left for no reason... damn them. We only had 3 other performances by the other schools and SJI didnt even contribute... Sad Jonathan had to be from there and not SPS. ANYWAY, we had PnW before the concert and our skit was put first since we were the host. the audience loved it. I was talking to some SAC gals after and they commented that it was really cool for me to act as Mary. Took me by suprise u noe. I was showing thm to the toilet so we chated a bit. I shared about my CCA and all. I was going to get the prizes actually but i offered to show them to the loos.
It was then thier turn to perform soon after and first it was just the gal i was talking to standing all alone on stage. She was beautiful I admit, and like any other girl, she was shy on stage. But then, when she sang, I heard the most beautiful voice i have ever heard. It all changed you know. The athmosphere changed around me. I suppose the song is more powerful than the average word. I could have fallen in love and i think i almost did. If she sang a bit longer, i would have i think. After their performance, I affirmed her though i didnt get to talk with her alot.
The concert ended with funny renditions of songs, a comedic 'musical' by CJC, and curia officers' "all for love" which was quite funny too. In the end, The prizes were to be given. I came up with the other brother mike and gave the prizes accordingly with a few goofs here and there. We won second and undoubtedly, SAC got first. I hope that girl had the most ferreros among the gals cos she really deserved it mate. I cannot stress it anymore but she is Excellent.
We Ended with caroling. Oliver, That girl, another girl and I i think, we sang together and ended with party poppers.
SAC left with me seeing them out, CJC stayed to help us clear up the place and I? well i basically was lost in my mind. Before i left i had a chat with Anne. She was writing Christmas cards to people and she gave me a candy cane. It dawned to me that.. I havent written christmas cards yet.. I owe everyone one i think. We all deserve one for a year well done.

Cheers, Markyc
