fireworks

--
it went on for 5 minutes
some small sparks
some biiiig sparks
of different colours, size and rhythm.


the lights that flew out of the ground so bright.
for once again something in my heart screamed out.
the scream of joy,
the scream that yelled; everything is going to be alright.


i felt hope.

it must be fate, you know.

Live from Tabard Theatre: Trying

Trying was indeed one of the most beautiful, wellstructured, and sophisticated live theatre performances I’ve witnessed in mylife. The first time I went inside the old-fashioned building I was greeted bythese people whom were very friendly, and they lead me into the theatre hall.First thing I noticed was how classic the set was. Being able to see livetheatre like this is in fact an exciting new experience I’m about to encounterin my life.

            The settingof the stage suits the time of the story as well, which takes place in the late60s. I really like the setting because it is far from what I see in dailylife.  When the play was about to start,a lady comes up introducing what the story is going to be about, and with senseof humor she mentions how we are going to be ‘eaves-dropping’ as watching theconversation between attorney Biddle and his secretary. I think that was a veryinteresting opening as well.

            The actingof the actors is very natural and professional. They really did behaved in away people of the 60s would. Since the story is developed from a real story, Ifound it very interesting that it is now re-acted through a live performance.  The outfits worn by the actors suited thetimeline.

The transmission between one sceneand another is very smooth and beautiful. It is very quick, and even how thecharacter expresses their personality can be see gradually from one scene untilthe end. How attorney Biddle was not friendly and perhaps cold-hearted towardsthe new secretary Sarah (With an ‘H’) until a year after they have developed afamily-like relationship between each other. The story is very clear, and howthe actors expressed their feelings are very easy to understand.

I like how the heater seems to takea huge role in the play as well. The first day of Sarah’s work we analyze howattorney Biddle strictly prohibits Sarah to even touch the heater. But towardsthe end of the play, Sarah seems to be conveniently switching the heater on andoff without attorney Biddle’s objection.

Not only the heater, Sarah’spregnancy also takes an important role because throughout time her stomach getsbigger and bigger. Here I notice how well organized the play was, and howprofessional everyone who works behind the stage are – the fact that the actorschange outfits within seconds!

For a ticket price of $30, I’d sayit was very worth the value. Plus, being a Foothill student advantages me topay for only $5, which was a bonus.  Ihad a very good time watching the show and hopefully one day I will haveanother opportunity to be able to see my own teacher acting on stage. Not tomention the types of food offered were such quality! – The cheesecake wasperhaps the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted in the bay. Thank you so muchProfessor Gravenhorst for giving this golden opportunity to the students!

CCCSAA conference 2012

Being a part of the student government at Foothill College had given me the opportunity to travel south California, Los Angeles. Even though it was a student business trip, two nights at the conference gave me the opportunity not to only learn new things but also make new friends. 

Day 1 - 19th Oct 2012

2 pm arrived at LAX with the team

arriving at Hilton LAX, we were given hotel room keys, name tags and the program guide of the conference. since it was pretty much introductory day, there weren't any workshops but dance nights with actual disco ball and hired DJs.

how was it? it was fun! because all California Community College reps (AS) were there representing their schools, and yeah they are really awesome people!

and then at 6 pm we went to this large ballroom where dinner is served. 

pretty amusing how everyone of their college has this customized student government hoodies everywhere...
