Hey.
I am not the kind of person who dare to stand in front of a big crowd and act or perform. Or rather I don't like to be stared at. I don't like attention. When I was in Primary school, I was part of a performing group as well. Guzheng ( Musical Instrument ). The only difference between Drama and Guzheng is, we perform as a group and we do not need to speak at all. But as for Drama, there are solo roles.
I wanted to be part of the Uniform Groups. But my mother disapprove, due to my skin colour. She didn't want me to get darker. So she want me to join a CCA that I can avoid the sun. The CCAs of that kind are so limited. Well, I can't sing or dance. So I decided to try my luck for Drama. I managed to get through the audition. Just because I'm loud enough. I know I can't act, at all.
Years past. I took only small roles. Not the solo ones. I didn't dare to, and I didn't want to. Most of the time, for large events, I choose to be part of the backstage member. Obviously, you know why.
Since the day I join Drama, I make quite alot of friends. Nazry, Haziqah and so on. The Syf pulled us closer. We enjoyed the time we spent together. We had fun, joy and laughter. You never know how much I enjoyed myself in the arms of these friends. Enjoyed the pinch Zhiqing gave me. Having fun on the bus with Nazry, ShuXin and Haziqah. Bimbo-ing with Azira and Ayu. Working with WeiZhe backstage. Playing around with Arvinder. Taking photos with Michelle. Making fun of Anuar. And working together with the juniors for this SYF. Its was really enjoyble.
We were so excited the minute we stepped into the school on Tuesday ( 14/ 04 ). We went back to class for a period of lesson. Looking at the clock every minute. Didn't even pay attention to what the teacher was saying. The minute hand strucked at 8. 30 am. We make our way down to the AVA room. Asked to change into our black gear. And came back for the video. A tradtion. Miss Tan came. Had our last practice before we leave for ACS ( Barker ).
Reached ACS. Cast and crew were freaking out. I was really tensed up. Got into holing room. Asked to charge the glowing star. I was shaking when I held the star. I was scared. Got into the auditorium. Marked the stage. Finish marking. Miss Tan realised a mistake. I almost freaked out. Ran to grab the rope and started helping her. I was really scared the time would be up soon. Miss Tan was really calm I can say.
The judges came in. The lights dimmed. The music played. The play 'S' started. And scenes after scenes, the play finally ended. We ended the play with a happy ending. Nobody. Danced our way off-stage. And someone said, it was beyond awesome. Words that show that our effort finally paid off.
Results are not our yet. SYF is over, but it doesn't feel like its over. We are still waiting on tenterhooks. We are really aiming for the best. Hoping for the best. We want the best. We want to be beyond awesome.
We have a choice now. To step down or not. We still have a performance in July. I think I don't want to be part of it. Its time to let go of everything and really focus. For the really important examination. Our last performance, SYF.
The awesome friends I have. Thank you, Drama people. Thank you, Miss Tan.
The soul flees to bliss
One mere plunge away.
The video we did. For memories.
