since not many of my classmates were coming for Drama Night, and of those who were going, most had plans prior, Mel and i met for dinner at Olio Dome, Holland Village, before heading to school for the plays. 
there, we met Joash, Jim, Cheryl, Song Yeong and and Patrick, and us 7 were the only people from our class who had come to watch those who were already part of the Drama, namely Chun Wui, Cielo, John.Chris, Mai, Mong (all cast) and Gerald (crew). 
although i had attended the SYF preview, it did not take away from the brilliance of Competition Piece, the last and best of the evening's play's. 
it certainly rescued a night in which the two earlier plays did not quite match up, in particular the second which left many of us equal parts confused and unsatisfied. 
that said, i don't think many of us had come for any other reason than to watch our year mates' final drama performance, and it deserved every bit of the rapturous reception. 
before leaving, i got to congratulate my classmates' and some others whom i knew in the cast, while also waiting with Mel while we were deciding whether or not to accept Sam's invitation to go out. 
in the end we did, joining Rekha, Pravween, Andrew, Deborah and Mel at NYDC, Holland Village. 
i do feel that it would have been more significant if more of our class had been there, especially since proportionately, we were most represented on stage by a mile. 
also, i feel kinda bad for not having brought anything (ie. flowers) for the cast members, 'cos for some reason it completely slipped my mind that that was the appropriate thing to do, especially on closing night. 
nevertheless, i extend my heartiest congratulations to my 5 classmates for a brilliant performance that is truly worthy of the Gold With Honours they've been awarded. =)
