Offscript
Went to UCC to watch Raffles Hall annual productions. The story was interesting enough, one of a recursive loop. After the rehearsal comes the actual play, or sometimes, the play is spontaneously acted out in the rehearsal, and it keeps changing and going on, in a never-ending cycle, if I've intepreted it correctly. The director acted really well! It was a little choppy towards the end but who cares. It was a really enjoyable night.
Went back to the hall to get supper a few days ago. They renovated the hall. However, the old juxtaposed with the new, mades the hall look a little weird. The feeling of homeliness of the hall is half-gone. The nice old red brick walls looks nice. The new modern door looks nice. But mix them both together and either the walls or door look a little out-of-place. The toilets were great though! I miss the look of the old hall.
I miss the dinners I had there too. They were simple and restful, a sort of quiet happiness. What a far contrast from dinners i have now in nus. Its getting a little boring to eat alone and then madly dash up to the lab to attend to my experiment once again.
I miss the people, its old look, the dinners and the hall alot.

I think you are right about the doors. Nothing beats the good old doors, with the carvings and all to make it feel...erm....classy...
Anyway, the new peephole is really handy, though the new doors are just too... 'office-like'.... don't give the homely feeling
erm...dinner alone? no wonder you miss dinner in raffles... esp so maybe because you always had dinner in the company another ex-rafflesian :p
Peepholes are handy but why couldn't they just drill one into the nice old doors? Save alot of trees and money and yet retain the charm of the old hall.
So funny, nv noticed the doors until they are gone as how humans usually are.
