Contrary to my PW findings, it's getting increasingly harder to get Singaporeans involved in the arts...i think wadever glimmer of hope that the arts had existed has been distilled somewhere. First it's the discrimination against arts students. jus becos "the arts has not been a pressing issue during the evolutionary history of Singapore", and that it is not considered a pillar of our economy? Then, look at the number of people that u can actually get to go for a performance...first NJ drama night. It was jus depressing looking at the sales performance of ONE night. absolutely abysmal. Wadever happened to support for the other CCAs and your own school? Is it jus NJ?.... Even when u ask the alumni members to go for a drama performances issues as trivial as price get brought up. Perhaps being part of the dependent population we do have financial limitations imposed on us but what is a few meals compared 4 years of education provided by the school, if not the efforts that the teachers have put in for the graduating year?? And wad nonsense is there that "I cant understand nothing." There's nothing to understand. There can be many many intepretations to a subject. There's really no need to tink hard and deep to achieve a sublime understanding of what is going on on stage. Jus go and and enjoy the sensual stimulus and not resist that multitude of emotions that overwhelm you. Art is not only for socialites and so-called classy people, is it? At the very least there's the effort put in by every member of the production to make the show possible to go on. The teamwork and immense effort is unimaginable. It's jus as though as training for any sport and competing in it. IF people can appreciate football, why is it so hard to accept orchestras and theatre?
TT Durai's scandal and GP. wad's new nowadays? Nothing really surprises me anymore. UKapps are closing soon. All those interested in UK Universities please do see ot the procedures for applications. Why is everything going at a breakneck speed? The world is making it SO tough to have an education. Even though there are not enough resources, i dont think that there's enough information for the school population . perhaps it's jus the release of information. I dont know but i do know that there are many people interested in overseas educations but are not doing anything about it jus becos they dont know where to start. Jus like me. boo hoo.
