I, Sarah, Xin Yuan and Elaine went to support Rayshio at this play he was acting in yesterday night. The bad thing was that it was at Republic Poly all the way in Woodlands! So far!

I actually reached Woodlands MRT early because my parents dropped me off at Yio Chu Kang to take a train at about 6, so I reached at 6.30, and ate dinner at Causeway Point. I got my favourite Mushroom Double Swiss at Burger King, then sat down at Macs (after buying a drink) because there was no other space.

I really wanted to buy these DVDs that were on sale, but I forgot to put more money in my wallet, and I resisted the temptation to use NETS. I realise now what it must be like to have a credit card and just use up money from the bank because you think it'll always have enough anyway.

I met Xin Yuan and Sarah at the control station, and we met Elaine at the bus interchange, only to learn that the 169 had just left! So we had to wait, and were very late for the play, only reaching at about just before 8pm.

The first play about 3 Fat Virgins was really funny. I laughed a lot at the part about the daughter who has to do the infamous growing-green-beans-in-cotton-wool experiment with varying amounts of water. The girl proceeded to try other liquids, including soya bean, 100 plus and saliva! And of course the mother tells her, "If it's not in the syllabus, you don't need to know!"

The next one was three mini stories about love, food and family, which is the one Rayshio was in. Pity I couldn't always hear what he was saying, because he was mostly on the other side of the stage.

After the intermission, when we went out and I saw Natalie Ng from primary school, and a lot of IP people: Gim Lim, Doris, Zhirong, Joel, Wei Liang, Joanna, Ying Ting, Louisa, Ben, Jiayi.

The last play was one about the daughter of a deceased brilliant but insane mathematician (hence my interest) who writes a ground-breaking proof involving Germain Primes, but is doubted by her sister and father's ex-student, thinking it to be her father's last piece of work. I sadly was unable to catch the math joke about imaginary numbers, because I think the actor talks too fast. But I found the story interesting!

The whole thing ended very late, at about 11, and we spent the longest time waiting outside for Rayshio to come out, only to find out that he was down at the first level! So we took a picture and tried to hurry home. I was intending to go with Sarah and Doris on 961 at the interchange, but as Elaine, Sarah and I crossed the bridge, Doris had disappeared!

I think she got lost, but managed to catch up to us on the bridge after calling her, and then Zhirong and Jiayi and then Ben followed. We JUST MISSED the 169 back, so we decided it was too late (11:20) and cabbed home, the three of us sharing with Zhirong. It was a nice ride back, talking about the play, about work, mahjong, results, school etc.

I miss school people!
