Hi everyone! Starry is fast approaching and I hope everyone’s psyched about it! So anyway, the actors, band and dancers have been practicing hard so that we’ll be able to have an awesome performance.. which is in about 36 days I think? Yeah so little time left right!

So Dora wants me to post about my experience. Well starry has been a really fun and enjoyable event to be involved in and I think that all of us really have a blast during our practices, but this time’s starry is really quite different from the last one. Last year’s starry starry night comprised just of singing, so the practices were much simpler and less work had to be put into it. This year’s starry starry night on the other hand, is WAY bigger since it’s a musical and all.. meaning I don’t just have to sing, but act and MEMORIZE LINES. Haha to me that’s one of the greatest challenges cause it’s not just like a page of lines, it’s like from a few scenes so there’s actually quite a lot to memorize. And I have to act and get into character and not be bothered about how silly I might look in that particular scene. And apart from all that, there’s school work to handle as well as tests and exams too, considering that it’s my sec four year this year and starry is just merely about a week before my Chinese o’s!:o:o:o But I trust that God will be faithful and He will give me the wisdom to manage my time wisely and help me to do well! School’s definitely getting tougher but I feel that I am able to manage both starry and school rather well. My entire Saturdays are mostly spent in church. Well sometimes I do look at my friends and wonder why I’m turning down an opportunity to go out, have fun and enjoy the weekends like how they do.. but then again, it’s not that I don’t have fun in church too. And I do have fun and enjoy myself during starry! I play a character called Sarah whose parents are going through a separation, and this makes her turn to things like hurting herself in order to ignore all the pain around her. But eventually she, as well as her other friends, gets to know God.

So I’m quite excited about starry since it’s my first time doing something like this. Hopefully everyone else is as excited and please invite your friends to watch the musical too(:
