我们的家，我们的感情故乡！

Finally, there's time to blog!! This will definitely be long, i promise...

随着谢幕的那一刻来临，我知道这一段旅程即将接近尾声，一切都结束了，一切只能用一个感叹号来形容！观众看似持续不断的掌声始终要结束，充满青春的欢呼声也都尘埃落定。难道就这样结束了吗？打从心里就不渴望这一刻的降临。真希望时间能够永远停留在谢幕高潮的那一刻。之所以会回来帮忙，可以说是被华明骗回来了，经不起他的“威迫利诱”。。。这次负责灯光音响。

为了母校，我总是义不容辞，甚至可以赴汤蹈火。虽然手头上的负担重得我快喘不过气来，但还是结下了任务。母校在我心目中永远排在第一位。现在即使如此，以后也是如此，永恒不变。没有什么事比为母校效劳更重要了。也许还有隐藏着的一个原因。作为校友，我们都不希望与母校的感情会随着时间的飞逝而渐渐淡去，所以我们想找很多接口回来帮忙，寻觅自己的回忆，回味过去的一切。但我们中不能赖在这里不走。总有一天，校友和母校会产生一段距离。我们都要展翅高飞，各奔前程。Jus have to get on with life.

《感情故乡》的结束，应该是快乐还是难过呢？我们的辛酸又有谁能明白？现在感觉沉重，空虚。人总要面对现实，也许有时我真的有点感情用事吧。

演绎公教校史，这不是一场普通的舞台剧。为什么要花那么多资金，心血，时间，精力去筹备一场校史剧？还不是要让一代又一代的公教人聚集在一起，回忆起欢乐时光，再次自豪的唱起校歌。71年的历史，至今还走着，前途光明。定居北京的艺术总监吴伟材不惜花时间飞回新加坡，还经常给大家motivation talk。还需要motivation吗？校史剧这个“神圣”的观念，我相信大家会付出一切，不会开玩笑的。

在auditorium彩排的那段日子令人难忘，也让我了解了整个舞台剧的精髓。直到现在我才知道，其实一名技术工作者在一场制作中比演员还难当。第一次接到剧本，只觉得对白温馨感人。校史剧是公教校史中的一个里程碑。直到现在，我还不时翻翻剧本，永不厌倦。

正如杨新发医生在第二晚演出前说过：“我们生是公教人，死是公教鬼！”我还想再加一句：“我们流的是公教的血，我们的血是青色的！“我甚至天天把校徽放在钱包里，想要时时刻刻提醒自己，我是公教人！

进入维多利亚剧院，这也是个充满回忆的地方。半年前参与的《黄城夜韵》就是在这里。面对熟悉的环境，种种快乐和痛苦的回忆又浮现在脑海中。看看周围，走遍剧院，才发现我对这个地方存在的感情。虽然在目前是黄城的灯光组长，但这次由我自己来搞灯光，对我来说是一场大突破，摆脱俊毅和品云的依赖，变得独立而不只是跟从指示罢了，为明年的黄城吸取经验做好准备。而俊毅为此还给我上灯光课，让我感激不尽。

前两天都是进行筹备工作，到了第三，四天才正式演出。在这几天中，我们甚至在吃饭的时间也在multi-tasking, 继续工作。邪门的旋转梯，旋转梯尽头的神台还在，看来一切没变。我也认识那里的一些技术工作人员，包括Patrick和Lim，教了我许多灯光和音响的东西，让我获益不浅。他们还分享了许多工作经验，有时非常可笑。猛然发现原来技术的东西要自己去体验，摸索才能学到许多。

当演出即将开始时，期待已久的时刻终于来临。多月来的辛酸苦楚就是为了今天。只要用心去做每一件事，一定能成功。演出前大家聚集在一起，情绪被推向高潮，一起欢呼。同心协力，不让大家失望！这是一股强烈而不可突视的公教力量。演出奇迹般的顺利，师长，学生，校友所付出的一切。到了最好一天，也许大家都累了，但是基于对母校的责任和热情的力量，让我们坚持下去，呈现最后一场完美的演出。届时，大家的情绪都已被推向高潮，还没开始就high了！

最后一场演出，最后一天在维多利亚剧院，最好一次机会。演得好演不好，过了今天就结束了。坐上嘉宾有不少重量级的校友，也包括了我拉来的朋友。3位校长张世典，老爱华，姚国华的对话，3位在公教处于不同时代的代表人物，把大家推向前所未有的高潮，校友都纷纷流泪。也许是自己的痴心妄想，我曾希望劳爱华和第一任校长姚国华能够再次出现，和我们一同见证历史。想让他们看看公教在70年后依然屹立不倒，双轨列车依然健康地行驶着，想必他们在天之灵也会感到欣慰的。

为自己鼓掌吧！ 但我们在剧中唱起校歌时，一个身影从观众席站起来，没错，他就是陈捷觉老师。试问有那位校友不认识他？他虽然只是位老师，不是公教毕业，但在公教多年的教书经验却让他与公教血脉相系。“太师傅” 陈捷觉老师是我前任级任老师蔡於仁老师的老师。

辉煌了历史能够再延续下去吗？70年后，会不会有另一部《感情故乡2》？会不会有人演我？也许若干年后，《感情故乡2》即将上演时，坐在观众席上的都是我们这些曾参与过的人。。。曲终人散，是个无法避免的情节。这是乐，也是伤，也是痛。

感情故乡永远留在我心中。公教人万岁！

Had a 4-11 class dinner with Tristan Fernandez at J8 Swensens yesterday. Finally there's a chance for us to be together and talk about the good old days. Met Aloy at the bus stop accompanying another gal...LOL, qutie normal lah...Waited a long time for QQ and finally he was here. We met up with the others and Swensens and i was careful on the menu so that i won't order something out of my budget...Saw Sze Huan, Sng, Bk, Dacks, LG, Kahhwee, Siu Yat and of course, or beloved Mr Fernandez. Aloy came for a while and left, maybe he don't have enough money for dinner...sigh...Jon came quite late and we were talking about dessert then...

Chatted and crapped a lot with the others. Laughter filled up all of us and the usual 'comical' Mr Fernandez was there. Hope we could keep in touch like that for as long as possible. And of course, we were also talking about his pending marriage too, which is confirmed to be on 16 dec, and we'll do all sorts of stuff to mess it up :P Sounds wrong...After dinner when we left Swensens, can you believe that we actually stood in j8 for at least 45 mins juz to talk crap. Seems that we're all hyper-active kids now...Saw Mr Heng as well.

As we parted with Mr Fernandez, we decided to watch "Click" at GV. As i'm drained becos of the Swensens dinner (wallet totally empty), really hav to thank kah hwee for helping me to pay first. Well, the movie was not bad, considering that i had my first movie sitting on the 2nd row...Its abt a universal remote control that can control the time in your life, like a time machine? Lots of lame jokes, vulgarities and 'obscene' stuff. I can't believe its only rated PG. The movie was good except the ending, which showed that 'everything was juz a dream'. WTF? end in such a way? i thought we were taught not to do so in essays? Reached home at close to 12am...

Went to sch today for a 歌谣 CS meeting and rehearsal, and when i'm punctual, the meeting would start 20mins late...First thing i heard is Xinyu bitching around, we were given something like the famous "Hair-Dryer" treatment by Fergie in Man Utd. This is crap lah. Cannot sell tics and juz scold us like that? Say until like we got attitude problem like that...Wth? I screwed up my studies and put in so much for cca and there you say i'm not doing enough? I mean, tell me wad did i do wrong? And 1 week before the competition night ( its on next sat, 歌谣 is something like a song-writing competition), everyone is given 10 tics to sell? And then she come up wif a list of strategies to sell tics. Why now? Why not earlier, since you got so many ideas? you think its possible to do so much is such a short time? Miracles don't happen like that...All these should be done EARLIER. Now, 1 wk before the competition and everything's still in a mess...impossible is nothing? Let's hope...

Quite pissed now...stayed until 6 in sch today jus for rehearsal and in the end, it was i who do all the sai gang...and finding ways to get rid of my 10 tics. Guys and Gals, if your are interested to come, pls contact me asap for tics and details...Thnx a lot:)::
