Our play, Macbeth, is a kind of heritage from Sec four dramers. We editted it through modern language and have prepared for this quite a few times until the competition is around the corner. With only one block as our prop, we soon ascended on the bus and began to head for the Crescent.
Before this, I only heard of Crescent from my ACSI seniors who have graduated from Crescent. It is hard to imagine a school without boys, for in China, almost all schools are mixed schools, claiming that this will prevent the so-called "further distortions of teenagers' natures". It is true that being in a girl school means less distraction, since puppy love has almost become unbiquitous and somewhat hard to eliminate, yet I still feel that something is amiss in a school with students of only one gender.
Crescent Girls' School is featured for its yellow and blue blocks, giving me an impression of vibrance and coolness, even when the scalding sun was scorching us at midday. Students here are from different ethnic groups(SS:), but I can feel that racial harmony is deeply rooted and manifested in schools like this. Different from Nan Hua in which you can see Chinese everywhere, here I met quite a lot of Indian beauties and Malay belles who make me stand agape, admiring in awe.
The performance began with Philippines High School for the Arts, then came the performance by Singapore Chinese Girls' School, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Their acting was marvellous, especially the two protagonists Hermia and Helena, and the amusing Athenian citizen BOTTOM, who eventually became a donkey under the magic of Puck, one of King's servants, and be loved by Titania the Queen by mistake.
The following competition was not exciting, yet the result was quite dramatic. Our school got the 3rd place in the book trailer competition, which was our play, Macbeth. We were all quite shocked when we received the prize, because it was utterly out of our expectation.
I like the performance put up by Dunman Secondary School very much, it was about the book, The Good Earth by Pearl S.Buck. The actress I like most is O-lan, she is a reserved girl with an air of reticence and quietness. The Wang Lung is extremely mischievous, after the play he continuously made fun of an Indonesian girl, who played his concubine, Lotus, in the drama.
The day was memorable with a touch of sadness. Never mind, one never faces obstacles will never grow, it is the diversity of people that makes this world so magnificent~
In the end, I quote some sentences from the Little Prince, to celebreate this Literature Festival.
"You must never listen to flowers. You must simply gaze at them and breathe them in. My flower perfumed my whole planet, but I was unable to appreciate her. I should have judged by her deeds and not her words. She cast her fragrance around me and brightened my life. I shoule never have run away!...Flowers are so contradictory. And I am too young to know how to love her."
