Major Event 2014: A Kopi Affair > > On Saturday the 22nd of February 2014, our Kopi Affair came to life on > stage.

Countless practices, > almost so repetitive we could do everything with our eyes closed. Numerous > combined rehearsals, where you could predict the next line from our cast, > visualise the next dance and the smile on our dancers' faces, imagine > hearing the melodic voices from chorale or that perfect harmony from the > music team. Many many hours put into perfecting what we were going to bring > to the audience - making sure our paint jobs were perfectly done, making > sure our designs were up to standard. > > It was a night where the audience was thoroughly entertained by us. > Laughing at the jokes we had for them, being amazed at our incredible > dances, and arcade battle, and getai battle, crying and tearing with us > during "Heart in your hand". Smiling at the finale, where we brought to > them unification, togetherness, and a thoroughly entertaining and amazing > singing and dancing piece. > > It was a night where all of us came together as one, for one goal, with > one belief. We cheered one another on, gave our dearest friends > pat-on-the-backs. We helped one another, be it just shining a torchlight > backstage, or doing makeup, or just reminding one another of the dance or > the song or the lines on stage. We stuck together. > > It was a brilliant night, and at the end, when the lights dimmed and the > music ended, the applause we got from the audience rang on in our ears and > hearts. That applause was not only from them, but from the bottom of our > own hearts, to our peers, to our comrades-in-arms. The people whom we > toiled with, whom we spent countless hours and numerous practices with. It > was a night where we can be proud to be called one team, one Singsoc. One > that is special - there will be no other like it. > > I'd like to use to chance to extend my utmost gratitude, and > congratulations to each and every single participant of A Kopi Affair 2014. > Thank you all for your dedication, and amazing qualities you have brought > with you to the table. I sincerely hope that you've had fun in this journey > as I have had, that it has been enjoyable and memorable, as it has been for > me. I hope you've made many more friends and soulmates in this Singaporean > community we call home. A home that we won't go back to without you. > > On Saturday the 22nd of February, A Kopi Affair officially ended, but our > Kopi Affair will live on in our hearts. > > Most sincerely, your Major Event Officer, > Chuan Khim > ------------------------------ > 2.
