Once in a lifetime!

'i feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright~ And i pity any girl who isnt me tonight~'


Perhaps once in a lifetime,
You get to do a musical.
You get to do a school's musical.
You get to act on stage.
You get to do the extrems.
You get to have fun.
You get to jump on a guy's back.
You get to do an hour show.

You get to learn so much stuffs from so many pros for one a period of time.
You get to go..' i'm so pretty, oh so pretty'
You get to act so ... bimbo(but i wouldnt like to be called that)- and i'm not blonde!

You get to have SO MANy friends to sms you and thank you for the show and all..

You get to have SO MANY friends to sms you to congrat you for the sucess


and get to... (there're so much things)

It's over and yeah, it's over.
Everything. No more dance, no more musical.
Up next, it's Leaders' Commencement Day and announcing of dance posts.
Woo-lah. O monster will be right before my eyes.

MANY HOURS AGO...
I played as sarah.
I jumped about and complained about my nails.
I did things that i never thought i would do.
I jumped on Shawn's back.
I sang 'i'm feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright'
I shaked hands with the Director- General of Education.
I hugged Fanny and Stephanie.
I presented a bouqet of flowers to Fanny.
I said,
" Huh?"
" He grabbed me!"
" Min! PLease! You're giving me a headache!"
" Yes! i cant be here! All this dust is ruining my clothes and my hair!"
" Erm hello? What are these for?"
"What do you mean?"
" Ready for what?"
"Start? Start what?"
"Special~?"
"WITH PLANTS!?"
"Gee! That was alot of hard work! And LOOK! My nails are ruined!"
" And i think i'm going to faint~"
" James~! PLease! Oh! kai. I didnt know your parents were from JSS. My mum was in class of '77"
"Hot! In every sense of word, how do they do it without any complaints?!"
" Whats happening?"
" I still cant believe they actually walked from the old premises all the way to the new premises at Yuan Ching road! INcredible!"
"We must be in the 80s!"
"Oh i know one of the songs! 'i feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright~ And i pity any girl who isnt me tonight~'
"Joseph and the amazing techni-color Dreamcoat!"
" Wet! Wet! It's Raining! AHHHHH!"
" This is pretty severe! Everything's wet!"
" Wow! That was quite an adventure!"
" I admire the pioneers who worked so hard and remain such loyal and industrious people. What they have done is really out of their sincerity and love for JSS"

once again...
MANY HOURS AGO...
The show ended.

I heard the applause. It was so clear and that was the loudest and longest applause I've heard for my whole time dancing dances in school and acting in this musical.
Even until the end of the show, i didnt realised how worthwhile this experience.

School was my next destination after the long hours of rehearsals shows and a short break at home.
Physics lesson was as early as 8. I had butterflies in my stomach, as much as before the show start.
The clear reason was my classmate had a classmate acting on stage last night as a "bimbo" -thats what they call. - that was me, and i dont think sarah's a bimbo. anyway~
They were talking about how sucky the musical was.
Instantly, i had the urge. To cry.
Well i didnt of course, but tears did well up. It felt like acid slowly being injected to my heart.
When they were talking about that,
i was wondering how much effort we have put in.
How much hopes we have put into it.
How reluctant and unhappy i was about this musical and changed my mind for the better only when to recieve such comments.
How much time we have placed in it, skipping lessons and all.
And most importantly, the last performance i'm ever putting up for JSS.
It hurts loads.
Anyway, I got over with it.- i hope so! haha
I have heard applause, i've so many friend congratulated me and told me i did a good job.!
And hey! Whats' more better than that compare to a small minority who can talk and not do it out?
Cheer up!

We've all done well! Mangala! Shawn! Marlyna! Constance! Anjelica! Chorus!
Modern dance! Malay Dance! Indian Dance! Media Works! Media Club! Crew! NPCC! NCC! Choir! Red Cross! Band! Teachers! Everyone!

This also meant that I wont be dancing anymore in school.
No more.
Reminding me of times that i was dancing.
YMCA. Chinese New Year. SYF! Ballet under the Stars! Performace for Suadi Arabians. Performace at Taman Jurong CC. Performace at WestMall. 45th dinner. many many more.
i shall bring this up in the next post perhaps.
Memories are the best things that are being given to us - if that's memories we want to remember.
Anyway. there are that i dont too.
They are my struggles for things that i never tried, and dumbfound.
I've come so far, grown so much. Maybe one day, I'll have it my own. Doing it independently! (:

And..
I really want to thanks those who sms me or congratulated me on that night/ next day.
Wishing me Jiayou on days of rehearsals, motivated me. Well, i think those people i always hear are Nurul and Lovell, really. That kept me going. Thanks everyone! (:
And oh! When people say that he's slow, maybe he isnt that slow after all compared to those who congratulated me the next day. Well, that is Ang Wei Jian! His congrats came in at 12am.
HE WOKE ME UP!
haha, I didnt expect him to send it, but it really warmed my heart the moment i saw. The impression was so deep that it left me tugged in my blankets with warmth.
As a performer, it feels great with such thanks. As much as a small one. I keeps us going.
Thanks everyone. Even if you liked the musical or not, as long as you came, spent your time with us, saw us and gave us a chance to present to you the JSS Journey, I thank you. really! (:
