The last time we performed 'missing' was 13 days ago or so it states in my countdown widget on my homepage. I'm not intentionally going to try to make this blogpost sound especially deep or whatever but i've been waiting to talk about this since two weeks back and today we got our results which technically rounds up our process so...here it is!

Honestly, if i weren't in clementi town, i would've already been in a sports cca but thanks to the lack of choices here i decided to choose something new so i chose art & drama as my first choice in sec one. I remember mrs sam coming to our 1C1 classroom and asked to speak to me. She told me that i was turned down by all the ccas and that i was encouraged to join choir. Till this day i don't believe that none of my choices chose me and that she thought me having musical background would benefit the school's chorale. Psh.

I hated choir that after two and a half terms, i stopped attending sessions. It was ridiculous because i felt that i didn't belong anywhere and i was just drifting around wondering how i was going to grab my bonus points for 'O' levels.

March 2012, i was in CT drama club.

It took a bit of courage to send the emails out, ask for permission to leave and all that. One day during lit, i was planning to ask ms tnee after class if she was willing to accept me into her club. I got chosen to go up and narrate a part of the qin shihuang play and after that she approached me and asked if i wanted to emcee for school events as i asked if i could join and she gloriously signed my 'change of cca' paper

OKAY STORY IS LIKE NOT LINKING TO SYF AT ALL.

So yeah i was super nervous being the noob in drama. I wasn't particularly confident in myself but thank God for all the opportunities i got.

We got our syf script back in early december during bootcamp. Secretly i really wanted to try a role out and lucky me got picked to read out lines as grethel. From there, we confirmed that we were going to work on 'missing' as our syf piece.

There were three grethels. Annabel, catherine and i. We shifted around on who was the actual grethel and all and after three months it was decided that annabel was going to be it. I cannot imagine if it were me because i'm such a lazy bum and annabel worked so hard to get into her character i'm so damn proud of her. There were moments she told me that i was the only one who could understand what she was going through and there were times where we cried together because we thought we couldn't make it.

Mr xavier came in early january and we hated him so much the first session. We were(are) such hooligans but he never gave up on us and now we love and miss him to bits. He gaves us time to share on what was going on in our lives during our saturday sessions. He brought us to watch plays. He was always a whatsapp message away to help us.

Roles shifted around. Sets were changed. Lines were added, lines were removed.

The actual day itself was such an emotional whirlwind.

We did our drama cheer in the quadrangle. Loud and proud. Headed to the ava where ms tnee gave us our prep talk and i cried pretty hard. Then we had our nap time before we played games together. It was so much fun. Breakfast came and then we changed into our costumes, did our hair and plastered foundation on our faces.

We held hands and we prayed and we talked about how badly we wanted to get our distinction.

We went to acjc, spent a while in the holding room breathing in, breathing out.

We went on stage, delivered our show, walked off stage and bawled our eyes out.

Everyone was so freaking proud of what we had accomplished.

And today we got our certificate of accomplishment and i'm still freaking proud of us.

It's ridiculous how much we all love and care for each other. We've shown the school how bonded we are as a family and how strong we are as individuals.

Tomorrow would be when chongray and brenda go up to announce our results. Tomorrow will be the seniors' last session with us and after that zhe ern, vanessa and i would be the ones taking care of the club. It's scary and unexpected that i got a position because it never crossed my mind. I have so much admiration for those that surround me and...there's nothing else i can say. Everything, all these emotions, they're something words cannot express (lolsocliche).

Had such a lovely evening and now i shall finally start on my work.
