Spencer!

Our second post, by our very much loved Spencer. Enjoy. (Where are the posts from the girls?)

It’s been a long time since somebody wrote on this blog, so, yeah, to keep this blog alive, I have to personally write something. Haha, so must read arh!

I remember the time I got my role for the musical, because I forgot to go for the musical. I guess I did not get a big role or a major one. For all my life, I have always been a cast member I guess, but never been a member of the crew before, thus I was happy but yet disappointed cause the role I got was far from what I expected. Call me an ambitious person, but I wanted a main role. I guess I didn’t get it…

So yeah, I went for drama musical training sessions, with of course my spastic friend whom I tricked to come, Feng Yuan. In drama, the guys had to wait for such a long time just to come and perform for, like, only 5 minutes, so we ended spending much time simply slacking outside. This really lowered our morale. However, I was thankful for this time, as we manage to, like, somehow get to know the choir guys better and mingle around with them.

I remember mingling with all the other new girls from choir, maybe its because I’m too friendly, I soon got to know them all and we were like always quarreling with each other. Haha. (Perhaps I’m too nice.) There was this person whom I will never forget in my whole life.

Thus, rehearsals after rehearsals, we just sat there doing nothing. Luckily, we had FY with us. He made a lot of jokes and songs, like the one about in the land of RA, n Aaron, Aaron. Haha. Maybe some of the guys here can relate to those happy times. I really miss those times back then, terribly much. I made some very good friends like FY, Amy, Russell (gay), Jumana, Jacqueline, Wendy, Samantha, Joshua, CELESTE, Jarrell, Alison and Belda. If I miss out your names, pardon me ‘cause I can’t remember all in a minute but yeah. All of them were, and still are, great friends to me.

I remember on the eve of the musical, on Saturday evening, everyone was so nervous and anxious despite it being our third performance. Many people cried a lot backstage, and there I was, just standing around, of course feeling pretty sad too. Having to leave “HER” and all the other good buddies was such a difficult thing to do, so we decided to make the last night the most memorable one. I remember going out there and doing my best, and so did all the other actors and crew. I remember suddenly, Mrs. Lim told us to go into the crowd and showed us a short video about all that we went through. It was really very touching seeing how much we grew over the past few strenuous months of hard work, sweat and even tears.

I guess when I was down in the aisle, all my worries just like flew away, I was very happy to see the video but at the same time sad that we as a group will never come back and perform this very musical again, never play backstage, never joke and laugh. We will never be a group again, and that really made me very sad.

Thus, I would like to end here. But remember, guys (and gals), we have to continue walking forward. We can only hold those joyous memories that we have in our minds and hearts. These will live on, forever and ever.

Spencer.
