Well, the HC talent show has been long gone, but the memories are still hot and clear like that it just happened yesterday. I can still see the days when we were busy discussing the drama script with totally no ideas, the days when laughter was full of the room as we were in rehearsal, the nights when the tired look appeared on the face of everyone of us for the thinking of the details of the play, the nights before the formal rehearsal of the show when we suddenly decided to change the plan totally and everything should be restarted for us, the figuring out the lines, the choice of the background music and the interaction with the audience and so on. It seemed at the first place that this performance is just one of the assignments that the professor gives us. However, as the preparation of our drama going on, it was becoming increasingly clear that this is more than just an ordinary assignment, but more often than not a precious experience for us to get along with each other, the opportunity of which is really hard to obtain from HC classes. During the organization of the play, the pleasure acquired for myself, personally, is really out of my expectation and to tell the truth, I have never been so involved in any activities. Well, what can I say? I, as titled, never expected to experience anything like this before.
To talk about the feeling of me to this show, it cannot be avoided talking about the members of our drama group. I want to start with Fanny. She is responsible to the drama part of the show. This is pretty surprising for me because she seemed so quiet in the classes. It turned out that she is involved a lot into student activities and may have some experience of organizing or something, and not quiet at all, lol~~. It is during and after the show that I find out that she is the kind of person who needs to be known gradually. She is responsible to the drama for almost all aspects, the script and music stuff. One thing that really moves me is that she is so surprised and happy to know that I actually followed her instruction to write down the script after she told me to. I think it is very cute, haha~. Also as a member of the committee she needed to focus on more things than us. Anyway, the drama team could not have made any work done without her passion and responsibility. Surely after this experience, she becomes one of the girls that I admire the most.
Kim, the core member of the drama performance and of the whole show as well, as he suddenly became the person in charge of the general affairs of the show. I don’t know the details, but considering that he is one of the members from the workshop group, the scene of his running here and there for this additional work on him really touched my heart. The enthusiasm of a man to a group reveals that how much he cared about this group and it is always moving to see such a busy figure around us. For the drama, Kim was always very shy, because according to the ordinary arrangement, he played the boyfriend of Fanny. The problem is that he did not seem to like his “girlfriend” at all and was really shy to express it out. Even though this does not meet the requirement of the performance, we can safely conclude that Kim is good man who is not used to flirting with girls, lol~~.
Aggie, the talent of whom is well witnessed on the stage, is the most significant actress in our group. She is the one who gives most of the ideas of the final version of the story that we played. She is the one who was running in front to make the opening of our performance vivid and attractive and the atmosphere exciting. Without her, there is no way that our drama could be such a big success and to some extent, be the most successful part of the entire talent show. The preparation work, like the discussion and other things, took a lot of time of her which should have been used on her homework. I still remember that night that I saw her fall asleep on the sofa in our EAC TV room when I went down to pick up Alisa. Her devotion into this play wins the huge success and she cannot deserve too much compliment.
Mirror, another professional actress in this drama group, shared a lot of ideas about the details of the performance on stage. Her voice is so natural on stage and so are her gestures. I have to say that before this show I thought she is a little bit hard to get accessed, because for some times in the past, I was trying to have a word with her but failed to get the kind of response I expected. But through this play, I learnt that she is also a talking kind of girl and cares a lot about others as well. It is always a pleasure to have a conversation with her, because from my point of view she is very interesting and shares a lot, which is maybe something that one can only enjoy when he gets known to this girl.
For Alisa, haha, as I mentioned in the last HC class in this semester, she has a huge requirement for others to protect her and I strongly agree with the comment that Fanny has for her, how can anyone not like her as he starts working with her? She is just so responsible, so patient and such a gentle girl as well. And her quick reaction to accidental affairs is really admirable, which, by the way, I heard after the show, when Roddick and Fanny mentioned it in the control room. One thing that I might never forget in my life about her is her “unreasonable” huge fear for Aggie’s really lame “taking out her eye” magic. Aggie was almost doing nothing but putting her hands one her eye frame and doing the gesture of digging something out, but Alisa could not help crying out loud for being afraid that Aggie’s eye had been really taken out by herself. We told her again and again that nothing could ever happen, but the sad looking on her face just didn’t go away. I fairly cannot think of anything cuter than that that a girl has ever done in front of me, haha~~. She is a very lovable girl and being together with her is a great joy.
Last but not least, Hannah, another member from workshop group, came and helped us as one of the assistants of magic performance in the first place. Personally, I really appreciate her being here because I could finally find a mainland student who doesn’t understand Cantonese just like me, lol~~. Even though it was a busy period with them as well with all the assignments and stuff, pretty heavy load on them, I can tell, but she still presented almost every time we had a meeting of discussion. It is a great help from you, Hannah, really, maybe more than your own expectation.
For me, this is a wonderful experience in which I learnt a lot. The most important thing I have learnt I think is the real joy of life. I used to be a student buried in the formulas from what I am learning and fight nothing but for my GPA. I didn’t realize it, but my getting tired of this life style is growing increasingly and it is right after the HC talent show proposal was launched that I have finally found out what real joy is about life. This is an age in which individual value is well focused on and respected, but as individuals in this society we are not totally separate from each other. The lives of us interact at certain points on the time axis, and the pleasant moments just flash out of our expectation. The sharing of joy and sorrow, the common goal to accomplish and the hard time to go through together combine to make the lives of our own colorful and memorable. When we look back to the foot prints we left together in the past time, there will be no regret but pure pleasure fulfilling our heart.
Thank you guys so much for just being around me. You make me happier than I ever expected.
We are and always will be standing together, forever ever.
