RADIX + farewell

OH MY GOSH, Kenneth thanks so much for typing here for information and everything for the past weeks. I've not been here in weeks... :/

And of course now that we have stepped down officially, I have things to say. Today I didn't say it to everyone cause I was too emotional. But first, of course have to talk about Radix first.

RADIX!!

It was a success!!! :D I think everyone loved drama's performance. This proves one thing, all of you people were good. Firstly, we have to thank William for the props making and taking care of the music, lights and the powerpoint slides. And of course, everyone who came back during the school holidays to make the trees, the bricks, MRT etc.
Secondly, all the people who aren't on stage. Eunice, Jaspreet, Clara, Clarice, Adeline, Debbie, Larissa, Michelle! I think they all have put in a lot of work to make this show possible.
Eunice and Jaspreet, always searching for us when we run off. They always give us the cue to go in and guide us through everything. As long as we are unsure, we can go to them.
Clara and Clarice for the sound and powerpoint slides! The sound always came correctly and she has to listen to us every time we act. The powerpoint slides/videos for some of the scenes together with choir. It's all timing.
And also Adeline, who has recorded her voice countless times to make it perfect. And helping out with the lights/sounds (I'm sorry I don't even know which one you did, SORRY).
Debbie and Larissa who takes care of all the actors. You all have helped us put the mics on and attend to us whenever we need help.
Michelle, for changing the hairstyles of many actors. And also who have helped with the makeup.
Which reminds me of those actors/backstage people who helped the actors put on makeup for Day 1 and Day 2. This makes things a lot easier and thank you! :)
The actors!
The opening scene was FABULOUS! It was really good and real. Do not care what the rest says, it's really great. And as what Kenneth says, you are NOT a calefare (I do not know how to spell this).
And all other actors...
Teachers!
Who have helped with the make-up and gave us encouragement.

Anyway, after the four months of hard work, it is finally over! Which brings me to the next topic, FAREWELL!

Hmm, I just want to tell everyone that the we (the sec 4s) did have a lot of fun in these months. Although we may seem very unfriendly and although we don't really mingle with everyone, deep down we love everyone and can't bear to leave. <3
Everyone knows that I can't wait to leave. This is because I've been under stress for a long long time. I think I deserve a break from all these. But this does not mean I have no feelings for drama. It isn't what I love but there are so many happy memories here. The friends that I have made, the things that I have learnt, the fun I had. Everything will stay with me, engraved in my heart. :D
I thank everyone for taking time out today and come and see us for the final time. Today was a really heart warming scene and next year it will happen again. Be prepared. Haha. Anyway, DRAMA ROCKS! And those who are still in it, treasure all your friends here. You will definitely miss them when you are about to leave despite what you may say now.

ANYWAY, THE SEC 4S WILL COME BACK IF WE HAVE THE TIME TO SEE ALL OF YOU. GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR MYE!! WE LOVE EVERYONE IN DRAMA CLUB!! <3

Radix is over.

It turned out better than all of us expected didn't it? (:

I want to apologize for being so negative about this concert in the beginning. I think I'm going to miss it. They should extend the concert, let us do it every night, I can totally do it for a living. LOL (that's just me).

Anyway, I am so proud of all of you. Some of you broke down, but you guys pulled through in the end, and that is so brave. Now that the concert is over, look back, and laugh at how nervous you were at that time. (:

Thank you Eunice and Jaspreet for being very able stage managers.
(OMGDRAMACLUBISSAVEDDDDD)

Thank you Clara, Clarice and Adeline for the sound and everything.

Thank you Debbie and Larissa for being so conscientious about miking the actors up and helping the actors wear their mikes and all.

Thank you Michelle for helping with the make-up and hair.

Thank you Mrs.Williams, Mrs/Ms(?) Phua, Ms Foo(?), Ms Tan(?) and Ms Pierre for helping with the make-up and hair.

Without all of you we would never be that good, we would never have been able to put up a performance, we would never have had the time of our lives and we wouldn't be called Drama Club. (:

Thank you so much! (if i have missed anyone out please tell me!)

"BRICK-BY-BRICK" PEOPLE

You guys were SO fantastic! No matter what anyone else says, you guys are NOT just "brick by brick" people. You guys are Drama Club Members, and you guys are anything BUT calefare. Without you guys, believe it or not, our starting scene wouldn't be so stunning. With your painted faces and how you guys were walking and all, you guys should be so proud of yourselves. (:

(Haha, just thinking, did anyone have trouble taking the dirt off?)

To Everyone Else

I don't know if Joey or Xue er is gonna type something here, but this would probably be my last post. Because as of yesterday, I have graduated from Drama Club. Omgawd, I will miss all of you I am not gonna lie. Y'know, I used to think that this club was so lame and all, but it's because of all of you, every single one of you, even those that I've never spoken to before, that makes this club so fun. I know I must've said or done mean things that have hurt some of you and I wanna apologize for that. (omg my chinese tutor called and said i had tuition yuck)

Our club has so much talent now, I believe that next year, SYF year, you guys will surpass the seniors. You guys wouldn't get a Silver, you guys would get a Gold.

Yeah. So........................... this is the awkward part where I feel sad but I don't know what else to say.

Okay I will prolong my last post.

Lalala.

lalala.

lalla.

Oh my Gawd I will miss all of you.

LALALA.

alalal

alalala.

alalal

lalala.

ohmygawd I miss all of you already. ):

ken.

To be a complete mood spoiler (if there was any) there will be a debrief session on Monday 3pm at the WOW room. There will be pizza. Please inform Mrs.Williams if you are not coming so she will order enough food. We will do our final Radix props moving tomorrow (iamsosadthisisnotcool).

OMG TODAY WAS A GOOD SHOW EVERYONE.

Anw, we have one more show tmrw so let's not get complacent and continue giving our 400%!

We showed the upper sec that we aren't trash today, tmrw we're gonna show the lower sec how good we exactly are!

Actors remember to bring your costumes back tmrw if you brought it home to wash, ESPECIALLY your Radix shirts and jeans.

Actors remember to be more disciplined tomorrow and not talk immediately once backstage, and OFF your mikes. Hehe, I am a culprit.

We're like, gonna eat at CWP @ 1pm before going to RP so come if you wanna, if you don't then we'll just see all of you at 2:45pm.

Yay.

ken.

HAI.

First of all, sorry for misinforming all of you guys that there was make-up and full dress today. It was my bad, I am so sorry.

UNFORTUNATELY NO SENIOR SAVED ME EMBARRASSMENT BY HELPING ME CHANGE THE INFO.

And secondly, sorry for the misunderstanding to someone today. (omg i'm using this as a personal platform)

Well, tomorrow's the day, and I guess all of you have the sms from Ms.Pan so there's nothing to blog about here.

Oh yes, everyone please bring like $2 or so tomorrow, and try to eat less carbs because we're buying the cake for William tomorrow. It is Halal donut worry, a fruit cake from four seasons. It is nice donut judge.

So meet at the canteen vending machine at 10:50am and we'll train down to RP.

THOSE WITH COSTUMES AT HOME BRING IT PLEASE. AND EVERYONE PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN COSTUME.

Please don't expect the seniors or the stage managers to bring your costumes for you. They are there to help you yes, but not be your maid. Please have a sense of personal responsibility.

Remember to bring cordless phones, or try to, for those people supposed to.

Someone remind Jolyn. (:

Remember to bring belts or our actor's pantz will fallz, those asked to help out.

And I guess try to be more serious tomorrow since it's probably the second last time we would be seeing William and how our attitude sucks from day 1 until now. (I guess I understand.) HEHE I WASN'T SERIOUS TODAY EITHER, SO STAGE MANAGERS, SCOLD ME TOMORROW.

Oh yah. Please listen to your Jaspreet and Eunice, they're trying really hard, and for that they deserve our respect.

TOMORROW WILL BE A GOOD DAY!!!11111!!oneonez!!elevenz!

p/s: Joey says bring sweets or whatever that keeps your energy level up.

DON'T WALK OFF WITHOUT INFORMING SM WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

DONUT GO TO ARTBITES AND BUY FOOD.

Hai friendzxxzxzxz.

There is full dress rehearsal at Republic Poly tmrw. (i love bolding the letters its so colourful)

Just a reminder, everyone please try and be in school by 7:15 am, though I know I'll be late because I have no sense of punctuality.

You guys can wear half-U (p.e./drama shirt, sch bottoms), but sec3s must wear sch uniform.

Remember to pass your form teacher the excuse letters!

Sec3s stay in school for the flag raising, run your 2.4 km, try not to die, and we'll see you at RP. :D

This is so that we can all hide in the WOW room and skip a ritual.

And to move props because the bus will be here by 8am.

Actors that need to change (basically everyone), please bring a (preferably) plain t-shirt, or singlet to wear underneath your costumes so you can change backstage. A singlet would be better because the neckline is very low and it won't show above your costumes, so it's safer. (joey i will spray perfume so the singlet i bring for you if you need it smells nice, don't worry it is Cartier).

Those who brought costumes home to wash, remember to bring it too.

There should be make-up tomorrow, so if you can, bring your own facial wash, or whatever vain things you have on your make-up desk (if you have one). If you don't have any vain items, then you can use the drama store's makeup. Donut worry it is not hardened. YET.

Lastly, please listen to Eunice and Jaspreet tomorrow cause they'll be MORE stressed than us. (DON'T WORRY GIRLS)

And thank you to clara and clarice and everyone else for managing the sounds, and lights and all. And thank you to the secondary 1s for shifting the props and all.

YEY WE RAWKXNDKJCNRKGNRGPGNKJFEBHKJB.

RIGHT.

I WILL UPDATE AGAIN IF I MISS OUT ANYTHING.

Group photos' on fb nao.

AND WE ARE GETTING SMTH FOR WILLIAM SO PLEASE SAVE UP SO YOU CAN CHIP IN YEHZZZ.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADELINE. AND WHO ELSE MUST TELL ME.

SLEEP WELL!

OH AND OUR RADIX SHIRT HAS BECOME BABY BLUE NAO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT.

-

The pictures of PA camp is on facebook nao. Very unglammy.

Yesterday's combined rehearsal was okay, according to Ang Guan, so that's a relief. (:

And thank you Clara and Clarice for helping out with the sound and everything! (:

Thank you to the sec1s for helping out with the props. (:

Oh and Ezra came to see us for a little, so that's really nice.

Right, it's SRS BSNS NAO.

Okay guys there's totally something bothering the seniors, and I'm just gonna type it here because I don't think any of you would like it if we made all of you stay back after a tiring session, so whoever manages to read this, just remember it and all.

Sometimes when we talk to William, we're very rude. And I mean very very rude.

I know we may be joking sometimes, but there has got to be a boundary to it.

We can shout at him in a joking manner, but most of the times it goes over.

Maybe you guys don't know, but he feels that its rude and he doesn't like it.

The only reason why he doesn't scold us for it is because he knows how hard it is for us to even be in this cca, since it's not a very well-liked cca in school.

So please control yourselves okay? When he asks you guys to do something, just do it. It's tiring, and difficult, and irritating when he scolds us and all, but it's not like he wants to do it.

He has to do it.

And frankly, to the seniors, his way of coaching is very lenient already, with the kind of attitude we've been giving him. Really, we've met pms-sy coaches that would call her colleague after the session to tell her colleague how much we suck. And previously we had a coach that would keep the actors down until 8pm.

William is working.

If he doesn't do well, his pay will be affected. His wife will be affected, his three kids will be affected. And some of us here knows that one of his kids is a newborn baby.

It isn't easy for him.

So please, let's just make this a fun job for him to do, and not a job where he comes and faces annoying, rude brats, that includes me.

I'm not scolding you guys, I'm just saying, y'know. So don't get angry.

The scolding is below.

Another thing is, the things we say, it hurts people.

I won't point out who, but when any of us doesn't have anything nice to say, then please keep quiet.

If it's about a person we can all feel anger or hurt towards, then okay, share your thoughts. But if it's about our own cca members, and it's meant to be a witty joke, well it's not funny. At all.

Don't insult each other, it's already bad enough that no one likes us in school.

Things like personal assaults, or outright insults, don't do it.

It's not humorous at all, nobody laughed in case (this person) noticed, and the only thing you did, was to hurt somebody in our own cca.

The next time I hear things like that, I'll talk to you personally.

Ken.

Thursday, April 15, 2010,6:28 AM

Hai.

It's not like anyone reads this shit, but I'm going to type anyway.

There is Full Dress Combined Rehearsal tmrw.

Please bring all your costumes, and a pair of jeans for the finale. (Oh-nu-4-me)

Secondary 1s please help out with carrying the props, that means a lot, so thank you very much. (:

Actors please take care of your personal props, and remember what William said.

It will be very chaotic tomorrow so please cooperate with Eunice and William.

Do not disappear halfway through our private rehearsal without informing anyone unless you wanna get shouted at by the seniors. EVERY SINGLE ACTOR IS IMPORTANT.

And uh, just bear with tomorrow because all of us know it's gonna be totally uncool and nobody would actually care about us, but let's just do it.

And our Radix shirt is yellow so... yeah. We light up the world.

We MIGHT eat dinner afterwards, I DO NOT KNOW, I DID NOT PLAN ANYTHING, so bring cash if you want.

Okay I pray to the Lord that He protects us and does not let us die from humiliation tomorrow.

Night.

Ken.
