Very long day which started with a jog. Broke a glass before leaving to meet a cell member, and ended up being really late as I had to clean up the mess. Spent almost the entire afternoon preparing for cell on Sunday and just talking about life and stuff, then took a walk around good ol' MGS, except that it is no longer old and has turned into a formidable grey-and-white affair, like a weathered old maid in a stiff apron. The stringy bamboo and dumpy fir trees mitigate the austerity of the grey paint and long block names somewhat--but I do miss the layer-cake appearance of a bygone age, when the school was innocent, free, and madcap in its coat pink, blue and cream (was there even green?).

Made it just in time for my first round of volunteering as front-of-house staff for W!ild Rice's Snow White. FOH staff a motley crew--among them teachers fulfilling CIP requirements, theatre enthusiasts, Sebastian-stalkers (the actor for the wicked stepmother, Sebastian Tan) and desperate no-namers trying to break into the theatre circle any way they can. I find myself somewhere between theatre enthusiast and desperate no-namer. Saw Prof Seet among the crowd: no surprise there. He boasts of being able to get complimentary tickets to any production he wants, he just has to ask.

As it was gala night, we were allowed to stay for the reception. FOH staff camped at the tables outside the kitchen and waylaid several plates of the food, rerouting them to our table. Waited ages until the Sebastian-stalkers got to take a photo with him, and then a little while more before we finally ended and returned. Tiring, but fun.
