NWP 42nd Anniversary Dinner

NWP42nd anniversary dinner was successfully held at Neptune yesterday. It was a fun and interesting night. :)

First time, I took on the role of stage manager (in charge of the right side). First time, I sprayed on people's hair and to dress them up like ang mohs. First time, I had to wave a flag on stage( And it seemed like an eternity. My arms were aching!) First time, I performed breaking a tile on stage. First time, I evened the edges of sashs using fire. First time, I stayed out so late (We all went for supper after the event ended. I reached home at around 1.30 am) with friends ever since my China trip.

Backstage work is indeed no easy feat. In particular, the words'Chinese Sword' and 'Chinese Sabre' kept haunting me after the rehearsal. lolz..I must remember to run and hand over these 2 weapons to Shelley on the left stage for the "Huo Yuan Jia' skit. Anna's one sentence said in sterness particularly emphasized timportance..something like," You can forget about the flag (i was supposed to one of the 4 together with Shelly, ZB and MQ, waving flags), you can even arrow anyone..what is most important is this sword. No matter what, this must be taken care of and reach the hands of the coach."The sword is like a gem. I was a bit stressed manz cuz in the segment when the sword is to be handed over..i was performing too. So it was akin to racing with time. Luckily, YX was there to assist me.

All in all, it was simply enjoyable. Salute to all those involved for doing a marvellous job, especially Coach and JL. Kudos.
