Hello everyone! Haha.

[EDIT]
Oh everyone who haven't gotten the yuedubaogao thing from me (yes there is one. and only ONE. so don't take 2!), come hack at me before/during/after dress rehearsals on Friday for it okay! Alternatively I can scan it and send to everyone but I don't think you want to print it out yourselves XDD Yeah so REMIND ME! (You guys should know about my memory by now -.-)
[/EDIT]

The first part is for those of us who want to start doing CSP in the libraries during the holidays!

(Um for this part whenever I use the word "register" I mean for an account. When I use "sign up" I mean for the activities + events.)

For those who haven't signed up for any events yet, YOU MAY SERIOUSLY WANT TO START SIGNING UP. Yes it's really through your volunteer account. Look under the tab Opportunities (it's the 2nd tab just under the 'banner' thing xD) Then after that just search by the branch that you want to do your CSP in!
A lot of the roles have been taken up already including shelving (in JRL at least that is.) So really HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!
Oh and for those who haven't registered for an account yet, do so ASAP. I'm not sure how many more positions are still open. But really there aren't many left.

So yeah... GO SIGN UP :DD
URL for reference -again- xD: http://vms.nlb.gov.sg/MainServlet
If you register the reply should come in about 1-2 days and if you sign up for an event the confirmation email will come by the end of the day (I think. At least that's according to my experiences.).
Oh and you can always change stuff (e.g. timings, whether you want to go for the event or not) after you've signed up for it so no worries :D

Another edit XDD
I realise I should post something about C&D night before I forget -.- Haha. This is kind of what Lan laoshi told us today, so yeah, kind of like a 'reminder'. Haha.

So we are supposed to report on Friday BEFORE 8am! I'd suggest setting the target time to reach school as 7.40am or so because you never know about the traffic xD
Stuff that needs to be done before 8am:
- get all props ready.
- change into costumes! (the 'students' can just wear class tee + skirt to school but the 'mothers' + 'teacher' has to change in school :P And the 'daughters', uh follow whatever you usually do? XDD Haha.)

Um we aren't supposed to move the props backstage yet, (I think) we are supposed to go for some briefing in the audi with our props. Haha so yeah...

And then I forgot what's supposed to happen. .___________. I think it's basically a run-through of the entire show. Instructions will be given?

Oh we can't leave after our performance! (Both during rehearsal and actual performance.) We have to wait for debrief or whatever it is (I think) XDD

So anyway the dress rehearsal ends at 1pm (with some debrief I think). We'll be assigned our dressing room + know when is our performance. (Oh someone has to sms lanls to tell her our room because I think she said she wanted to look at our makeup. Haha.)


Then we have to come back by 5pm! We have to eat lunch + dinner before we come back! (If you choose to bring back dinner to eat in school I think you'll have to eat outside the audi... because eating is really NOT allowed in the audi, including backstage + dressing rooms. The teachers may scold us if we eat inside so yeah, better not.) And we'll need to put on make-up then! (Really everyone has to. Unless you want to look like a ghost on stage XD (that sentence came from my seniors XDD) Yups.)

Another briefing at 6pm...

House opens at 6.45 (right?) and the show starts at 7pm! We are 2nd to perform (for now) if anyone doesn't know(: Haha. We should do a warm-up round (run through the skit once first) before we perform. Oh when we are at backstage (at the wings) must remember:

- don't talk unless it's related to the perf (like you can't find your prop/can't remember your line etc.) It'll affect the audibility (is it spelled this way O.O) of the lines being said on stage. So yeah don't talk!

- make sure the curtains are closed + don't peek through the curtains!!!! there's going to be lights on at the wings (I think) and it's going to be super obvious if the curtains are open because the light will seep through and you'll see blue light on the stage especially when it's supposed to be lights out/spotlight on only and it'll look very weird XDD Haha.

- you know there are doors leading to backstage from the wings right! When you go from one end of the stage to the other and you open the doors, PLEASE CLOSE THEM GENTLY. They'll bang REALLY loudly if you don't close them behind you. And the audience can hear it. Anyway it's kind of annoying to hear doors banging loudly anyway so just close them behind you XDD
Actually there'll be people backstage reminding us about the above 3 points but well, might as well as know first XDD Haha.

After the performance: I think we need to go back to our dressing room and wait? I think we need to clear up the room and pack up and stuff. I'm not sure if we can go and watch the other performances... Anyway the dressing room needs to be cleared! Or else the people doing backstage duty will have to clear it for us in the end and we may not be able to find our stuff...

Oh and try to keep the dressing room neat + organised from the start! It's very easy to lose stuff in the dressing room, especially make up and small props. so yeah...

After all the performance there'll be a debrief! It's ending around 10pm, if I'm not wrong? Maybe closer to 11. So um mentally prepare your parents XDD


Okay this is about the end of the long lecture from a Chinese Drama person trying to act knowledgeable about theatre -.- XDD Haha. Anyway don't forget to bring costumes + your own make-up on Friday!!!!! (Props are all in the room so it should be alright... right? Haha.) Drink plenty of water and avoid food that may upset your throat XDD Okay I shall stop here before you get irritated (which I think you are already -.-)
