::Study = Not Fail---A
Not Study = Fail---B
A+B: Study + Not Study = Not Fail + Fail
Study(1 + Not) = Fail (1 + Not)
Divide both sides by (1 + Not)
Therefore: Study = Fail
So, why study??


After sitting through a disastrous 绿园 experience last week, its time for round 2! Which was none other than vj's 海城之夜. Wasn't really looking forward to this, maybe due to the memories of 绿园 still on my mind...Saw j-wei outside the vj gate and he gave me those damn niao look when i told him about 海城.

Let's go straight to the performance. I would rate this show higher than the grassland 绿园 and 白云冈, at least it looks more visually impactful. There was a proper set design and somehow i sense they had a higher budget than the other 2 productions. The stage looks quite funny, no cyc in sight, and they like to spam visuals, sometimes not really suitable...Lights design was okay, considering the limitations of their audi, their focusing positions wasn't as bad as 绿园 though.

But this was a predominantly prc production. The program booklet was cool and not bad to begin with, but i couldn't spot a non-prc name as i went through the list. And there was clearly and over-spamming of guys and lack of gals in their production. Its not whether i'm desperate or not, but i dunno why they had to use guys to 反串 as gals if they had enough gals in the first place? Or is it for some special effects i dunno? I thought only guys schools like us had to do that cos of lack of gals, and we were always keen to avoid it if possible...And even their 反串 also a bit cannot make it, a distinct lack of gayness in them...I've seen no one till date who could 反串 as well and as natural as jiasheng. I mean, if he really keeps his hair long enough and dress up a little, he would look like a chio bu to me lah, serious!

From out of nowhere i can see the 司仪 wearing an all-too familiar cathigh green shorts...erps...dunno wad to say, got get license fee from cathigh? But after taking a closer look, the shirt was dunman's shirt, as seen by xinyu, cos i can't spot the 7 metal buttons and 2 communist pockets. Then, they also wore rj's green skirts with dunman's shirt as well...wad is this for?

Being a prc production means that its very difficult for us to catch what the actors were voicing due to their overly-exaggerated language and accent. A lot of times, when the actors said something, people around us started laughing out loud while we were looking blur...huh what happened arh? Are they saying some prc jokes that only prcs could understand? But the fact is that this audi was make up of at least 80% prcs!! Quite scary, especially during the interval when i went to the toilet and back (Saw someone flushing the program booklet down the toilet bowl, lol!) Along the way, i was overwhelmed by the amount of prcs with their accent and appearance, its was really quite intimidating, looks like we were the minority here...

Couldn't really understand the plot well, due to the way they talk as i've mentioned. And they actually put up a 古装剧 on the 3rd show. But the highlight was when some we saw the fireplace moving to stage right. Some 道具组 guy hiding behind it was trying to move it away but when it reached stage right, the opening was too small to accomodate him and the prop, so he has no choice but to stand up, exposing himself to all the audience, then try to exit desperately, damn funny lah. And the 4 walls behind were always moving around throughout the 剧, i know what they are trying to protray, but looks quite hideous...The 4th and last show was VERY VERY long and draggy, as usual xinyu was sleeping through, and i was literally praying that it would end asap...

谢幕 was okay lah, they dun have the usual groups of people running out onto stage, but instead everyone sat on the stage when the curtains opened...Spotted some of my past cldds frens, he bo, ya dong and company on the 1st row. Its been quite long since i last saw them, and shocked that wang yue was actually the vp and assistant production manager!! oh my, really can't believe it...Somehow proves that even a prc from our cldds has the potential to get such a position, or rather, do they have better people to begin with?

Piles and piles of homework coming up...haiz...5 months more to A levels, time is really running out, i'm already living on borrowed time now...Can i make it? Are there miracles in this world?::
