Magus Luna...

The drama performance last night was a good debut for all those first-years who performed. I thought they gave the audience quite an impact and I really must say that they're extremely talented. Although I was supposed to perform, it's good enough sitting in the audience and enjoying every bit of the show...

There were 2 groups consisting of first-years who acted out their plays. The first group's story was about a young Muslim girl living in the Middle East who wanted to earn some money for her mother to go on a pilgrimage (most likely to Mecca). She joined a fashion company, one which was run by a famous designer with his own models and runway show. The story focused on how religion can sometimes clash with the modern world; we usually tread the line between our traditions and values, and how people think in the 21st century. And so the protagonist had to choose which side was more important to her and in the end, the moral of the story was, "Beauty comes from inside." Excellent piece of work - great storylines and a beautiful ending. Not to mention there was lots of humour involved.

The second first-year group did a play called The 3 Wishes. As the name suggests, it was a love story which involved 3 wishes, and the moral or theme of the story was, "Be careful what you wish for." The play took place in the olden days, most likely in the 19th century where Kings and Queens still ruled over the lands. A Prince had fallen for a young maiden, but his mother, the Queen, does not approve of their relationship. As time went by, another young lad had fallen for the girl and the story ends with the young lady dying. A sad ending but it was worthwhile watching. Once again, I applaud all the girls who worked so hard for it (yes, it was a "girls rule" group) and thank them for putting in their effort for the show.

And so the whole performance was a wonderful experience. It was a night of talent, showmanship, and drama. It was a magical night, as magical as the title itself: Magus Luna...
