Song 42 : The Drama Ended

yeah~

drama competition is OVER.
It was held in Smk Convent and there were ten participating schools this year compared to last year's nine. Sure, the increase in the number of participating schools definitely scared us.
However, as usual, there are really only four schools participating in the English Drama Competition.

SGI was the first school to perform and I guess we did pretty well judging the applause we managed to harvest from the crowd and the zero-error in our performance.
Haha
I was really very excited before it. I can feel my stomach leaping around like a spring as cold sweat drenched me.
Wei Li did a perfect job controlling the music today and See Huang's vase breaking timing was impeccable.
Everything went perfectly well.
The telepathy scene definitely boosted up our marks for creativity while the recorded voice flashback added more sparks to the scene.
A lot of people were impressed by Daniel's and Arun's performance behind the turquoise curtain. Who would expect a little anne to be used in the scene? And best of all, the operation lighting and the covering the little anne part was nice.
Haha. A lot of people liked the "Mama! Come back!" part. They said it was effective.
However, the scene that i favoured the most was the "touching hands scene" Felt it was really touching. Haha
Anyway, we were super relieved and proud of ourselves when we got off the stage. Somehow, it's hard to believe one long year's practice ended in just 20 minutes!
But it was fun!
Seriously It WAS FUN!!!!!
Haha

KE's performance was good, however they ended abruptly with a very quaint anti-climax which failed to embed any moral values in the drama costing them a whole lot of marks. Besides that, I think people got annoyed with the scenes that kept changing every minute resulting with more curtain closed scenes than the drama itself.

TMGS was superb with their outstanding storyline and swarm of actresses speaking in a very authentic British accent. Those were definitely an added advantage for them. However, their drama gave equal focus to all characters, drowning the importance of their major characters. But I must admit, it really was a great performance besides those.

SGI pula was weaker compared to the other 4 schools in voice projection. The ligthing effect isnt really that sophisticated too compared to KE's shooting scene, TM's arrival of the witch scene and convent's beating up scene.

Convent was undeniably good (as usual). But, i never knew they could act below the stage. This could be a bit of trouble of them in the future during states level.

Anyway, yup you guessed it.
Convent grabbed first whereas TMGS gained the second runner up title.

And we, the Georgian Puppeteers 2008 / 2007 grasped the first runner up title!!!!!!!!
When they announced that, we were so happy and we started doing the Tepuk Lassalian 4 times!

I know, most schools were entering to snatch the first place, but the title that we really desperately wanted to claim was the second place! And we got it!

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be sour grapes, but it really was a secret among us. I mean we were also half hoping for the first place and half hoping for the other.

It may really sound weird, but we have our own reasons, that is we
-want to concentrate on our studies which we will be unable to if we go to the next level as we will be busy practicing
-are lazy to perform during Hari Anugerah
-thought we might not be in the top 3, hence, better a place than not

and because some of our members will be unable to perform the next stage, as some of us will be having trials

Anyhow, anyway, I really was blasting with joy!!!!!!
Every Georgian was!!!!!
Even Thilages (not sure of the spelling LOL) was there to join in the fun of yelling and clapping!!!
Cik Nurul, Pn Monica, Pn Susila And Mr. Koay were obviously very proud of us considering the fact that everything in the drama was handled by the drama members themselves. Other clubs didn't even chipped in to help one bit unlike other schools! However, we did well!!!!!!
So damn happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha

Especially when we found out that convent beat us by only one mark which made us feel so proud because we managed to put up a good fight against them since they were so extremely good.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK Convent drama team! Make sure you become the national champ! All SGI drama members commend your performance and are pretty sure that you gals can really kick ass in the states level!!!!!

Make us proud for losing to you gals!!!!!
