I deliberated for a while on whether I should post it up because I don’t want people to think I’m showing off or anything.

But I really don’t really like the dance in conversations, where everyone has to do a little tango when we get around to the topic of grades, so here are mine.

I’m really happy for myself because I really did it. And it feels good to have fought the good fight and have finished the race in a blaze of glory (to me, at least).

I can’t wax lyrical about this anymore because I am at a loss for words for the first time in a very long while, so all I’m gonna say is that: I’m happy.

I hope everyone else did well too. Drop me a message and let me know how you did if you wanna share, if not, I’ll see you all in two weeks time.

Because I know there will be people who will Google for more info on EN3271: Advanced Playwriting, I thought I’d do a blog post on it too, in order to:

  1. Help sell the module – it’s really good! – and
  2. Tell people more about what I do in school.

Huzir Sulaiman is mentoring us for this module; he has also mentored us for the pre-requisite module to EN3271 i.e. EN2271: Introduction to Playwriting, and it has been a really great experience all the way.

We had a play reading last year which provided many networking and career-building opportunities for me, not to mention two very fun-filled days of laughter and entertainment from the talented actors who worked on our scripts.

The writing in this module has become more focused; from shorter pieces focusing on different areas, we have finished a two-act play and are in the process of completing another.

What I really like about this class is that because it’s a small class size, it’s not unwieldy and we can have some fun times hanging out together as well.

We usually have lunch together after class, and here are some pics of us at Holland Village when we went to Da Paolo’s for very nice pizza.

So if you’re contemplating taking either EN2271 or EN3271, don’t hesitate – just do it. But do your best while doing it, so you get the most out of the experience. (Which I guess should go without saying for most things in life anyway?)

Wah…

Subject: RE: Journal naming competition and Student editor positions open.

Dear All

I hope your new semester (and new year) is off to a good start.

I apologize for a slightly delayed report on the journal naming competition and student editor recruitment. There were 16 entries for the competition and 7 applications for the editor positions. I want to thank those who participated/applied.

For the competition, in addition to Profs Kang and Teo (and myself), I co-opted two additional judges Dr Lo Mun Hou and Mr Paul Nerney.

We have decided that the winning entry is “Prism”, which was entered by Laremy Lee (Year 4, English + USP), who explained: “It incorporates the ISM acronym into its name. Also, maybe the tagline can be something like: ‘A spectrum of light’, as a play on the title and also because it presents a spectrum of writing meant to enlighten.”

Even though we have not yet decided whether to adopt the name “Prism”, we have decided to give out the prize of $200 to Laremy. Congratulations, Laremy…

Heh. But I’m thinking of doing something crazy with the money. More updates soon when I’ve decided what to do.
