Well I suppose its official then. We're NOT performing for Lee Suan Yew 2006. At first, The Mole was supposed to perform, then after Centerstage, we were told it was us instead. Had a meeting after school today to vote on whether or not we should perform for LSY in light of Shawn's fractured ankle, our destroyed door, and the Audi's lack of lights. After a long discussion, it was voted that we should perform during Lee Suan Yew - Although it was kind of a wasted effort anyway because seconds after our decision was made, Mel gets an SMS from MsJLuah saying that MrsFannyT has decided to let the Mole perform instead. Ah well. Some might say that its just as well that we voted not to, but I feel kinda cheesed off that the decision was taken away from us. Maybe its a pride/ego thing. Nevermind. I'll get over it by thursday.


With that, I hate to say it, but I guess our production is more or less done. Maybe several more CAS meetings to get the paperwork done and maybe an outing or two, but I daresay The Vault is drawing to a close. (No pun intended) As I cleaned up the class this morning (No easy task!), stacked up the SWAT weaponry, fixed broken props (Or tried to, at least), and dumped all the vests/boots in the cupboard, I felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness.... And loss. CenterStage has been such a big part of my life that it feels really weird not to be fixing broken guns, uploading rehearsal pics on the plog, rushing to paint walls, ordering the SWATs around, and... delegating countless tasks to Mel haha. (Not to mention the frequent - 'OH EM GEEs we're screwed! What are we gonna do?')I feel soooo awkward not doing something related to The Vault!


All in all, its really been a sweet experience, which, looking back, I regret not cherishing more. I cant believe that in the heat of it all i actually kept telling myself 'one more week... two more days, etc'. Now that its over, I feel so lost...Right now, I feel that there's a void in my heart that eats at me like the edge of a blunt knife, knife... Nevermind. The urge to quote a Vault line nearly every waking moment is hard to quell. I'll honestly say that I would have loved to perform at LSY if we still retained the same capabilities we had on the 31st of March - Just to relive a mere fraction of the awesome experience of this play. Too bad. Whats done is done I suppose; though I feel immense reluctance and regret turning in the SWAT uniforms NPCC kindly lent us and the boots we koped from NCC. I guess we all have to get back to normality and start picking up the pieces of our lives. And as for me, I have no idea what I'm gonna do next - Nor why I just wrote such an emo-angsty entry.
