I really didn't expect the Chinese Drama Night （叶串之声）to be so successful.
We had more than 100 errors during the last rehearsal
and i was expecting a lot of major problems with the props and lighting or actors forgetting their lines during the actual performance

in the end
i can say that the props and lighting were perfect
and the comments from the audience were "nice acting!", "you all did a great job!", "it's so much better that what i expected!"...
and Ms Woon said, "不知道大家今天怎么都那么入戏"
there are even people who commented that it's even better than HC's Huang Cheng and VJ's Hai Cheng

it was my first time acting on a stage
i thought i would be the one who spoil the whole performance
as most of the others who were playing the main roles were experienced performers
but after all, what i received from people, even from those who are not closed to me, was "芷欣，你演得好好哦！"
as a limping maid in the play, i was glad that i had started limping even 45 minutes before the performance
especially when Yi Le, my OGL during HCIBS orientation, who i had never been talking to for 2 years, came to me and said that "芷欣，你好好哦！真的很厉害！”

sorry for being so extremely proud of myself
but you feel great when you receive recognitions of your abilities

i am sure jiexiang would understand this
it was his first time controlling the lightings
and he had made it perfect!!!
thanks a lot..

i think the ones who deserve most acknowledgements were those helping out at the backstage
those who had spent so much of their time making the props
and giving out their best in moving those gigantic props up and down the stage
and yibuo who was helping us to make up
most of them are not from Chinese Drama
some are not even from CLDDS
but they came and did their best without expecting anything
Ye Chuan would not be a success without them

thanks yeeching, xiaojun, joping and lisin for coming and supporting
i hope the balloon and flowers will be able to survive in my room.. haha:)
and lizhu for treating hot fudge sundae though i couldn't finish it

thank you yanzhao for giving me this role
