-ok, a few things that i wanna pitch. pay attention now!
1. Come buy tickets for Little Voice, brought to you by the University Scholar's club, from me tomorrow, 2nd March at the Arts Fac corridor near the EZ-Link top-up machine!
Our fantabulous cast (sporting talents from Singapore Lyric Opera, Bud's Youth Theatre, Singapore Repertory Theatre Young Company as well as Raffles Players) will be giving a sneak-peek performance so do look out for that!
We'll be having a soft launch, so the tickets will be going for $15 instead of $18 for this week only. Good cause: it's to raise funds for the Patient Care Centre (PCC), where I've been volunteering and to spread the message of non-discrimination.
The musical will run from 13-15 May, 7:30pm at the Tampines Cultural Centre, with shuttle service from simei MRT. can contact me (becky) for tickets or the usp people directly emailling them at: get_your_tix@yahoo.com.sg
2. To blog readers collecting A level results, NUS open house is on the 12th of March
I will be there, either at the USP booth or promoting YEP or at the USP booth promoting YEP. Come and talk to me yeah? Click for more info.
3. Join USP!
I highly recommend USP to anyone considering NUS. from my previous posts you'd know how much i enjoy my classes, love my teachers, and like the people in the usp community! ok the usp song is kinda lame, sorry to the guy who wrote it, but I do agree with the line that goes "now that's what I call an education!".

4. Come for the VCF musical on the 23rd of March!
We got a stellar cast lined up, original songs, and it's free! So if you don't wanna go for the other musical cos it's too expensive, well then, you don't have an excuse now. I know for a fact that these people have put their heart and soul into this show, so expect an honest performance that aims to capture life as an undergrad and the struggles that we have. Apparently there's a scene featuring a Milo truck, now come on, who can resist the Milo truck?!? (not me, its marvellous what milo can do for you!) Plays and musicals are used to discuss issues, but this musical is important, because it talks about the most important thing of all, God. So do come, with an open mind, nobody is trying to preach to you, but i think what the cast is trying to do is portray their lives realistically, and being a Christian is an inevitable part of it. I'll let joshua say this... (taken off the BCE blog)
This is important because Gabe and i did not begin with a "hidden message"
or agenda, which we would then proceed to "subtly" embed in every line and later
attempt to bludgeon the hearts and minds of the audience through the
manipulative influence of drama, dance and oh-so-seductive music.The musical is
written from a Christian worldview, unabashedly so. But it does not attempt to
insult the intelligence of any person, Christian or non-Christian, by ignoring
the very real struggles of people around us, on campus and off campus. The
struggles portrayed in the musical are shared by both Christians and
non-Christians. Hopefully, that will be what makes the musical accessible,
beyond the poetic language, great music, Tony Award-winning acting (be
encouraged, beloved cast!) or whatever dazzling theatrical effects. It is our
hope that the poignancy and the commonality of the human condition displayed in
the musical will be what draws both Christians and non-Christians to reflect
upon our lives and, by the grace of God, to turn to and draw close to Him.
Ok enough announcements for one day methinks!
Today watched Ray with me dad and darren! I thought it was a pretty good show, better than most hollow-wood trash out there. but somehow I felt some parts of the truth were being hidden, no evidence for it, just this sneaky feeling. I guess it's inevitable when they worked so closely with ray charles before he died on the movie, that they want to portray him in a certain subjective light. oh well, artistic license i guess. but the music was sweeeeet! reason enough to shell out $6.50 (which my dad did, heh).
