under sabreena's suggestion...

i'm writing about RAFFLES BOOK DAY :D

tomorrow is RBD with lots of interesting things like BOOKS and PERFORMANCES by selected classes on their chosen books. :) plus we get to wear costumeythings from our book (Sing to the Dawn, yay!) and stuff. i feel like an advertisement.

anyway what i'm really going to talk about is our RBD performanceything, the one we went for auds for on wednesday. first off is the congratulations!

GREAT JOB, TWELVE! i know there were some who contributed as little as they could, and some who put in their all, so i'd like to acknowledge those who spent time to willingly help out and make our performanceything (i've really got to stop calling it that) a success! hmm, i'll do those shout-outy things. this might be a bit long, but you should read it! because it is important! even if you lost impatience with anyone or anything over RBD, it doesn't matter, we're still one class that put in lots of effort as a whole! :D (not sure about parts though but whatever!)

IN NO ORDER OF IMPORTANCE, firstly we have MARIA as "i have confidence" dawan, AZURA as "i'm right! i must be right!" daddyyy, HAITONG as darling "no, i must save my daughter from horrors!" mummy, JOELLE as "ohmygosh! my granddaughter is so superstar!" grandma, YING XIN as our bizarre, taciturn monk, MALA as self-sacrificial, "i love my sister!" kwai, LIDAN/JOSEPHINE as the clear and worthy narrator, the very colourful, un-extra extras: our glamorous movie-goers; our shades-and-upturned-collar gangster cigarette-seller; our cute-oppressed-bubbly flower/candy peddler; our lives-at-risk newspapery garlandy peddlers; our funny traffic that refused to buy stuff; the girls who were sent to build buildings never to be utilised...! for the lead characters: great job, you guys emoted and and and expressed yourself and told this wonderful moving story! (and didn't burst out laughing halfway). yay you! as for the people who made up our bustling, decadent city: very NICE :D you guys made this image of a cruel, intimidating city come to life, you guys were superb cityzens with your portrayals! three and some cheers!

but wait still got more people who contributed! STAGE CREW! - SELENE, stage manager, who i think scribbled out all the indecipherable blockings and masterminded that area, while directing her crew...izens? crewizens? crew members? NESSY, who never remembered when exactly our stool-shaped rock was supposed to appear on stage but did a brilliant job despite it! people who sang, and the guitarists JANE and JOAN - all of you carried out the ending with impact and and and aiyah impact la! :D (oh and 'course yingxin who nobly attempted to do the keyboard, although it wasn't, um, plugged in!) yay! still got more people!

our director YING XIN for bellowing at us and shaping us from a lump of disorganised... disorganisedness to a... pretty... organised... statue... OK my analogy is not working but you get the idea! YING XIN who put in so much effort and emotion to pull it off! three cheers!

our creativey directory RUBY for worrying about everything on the stage! for doing our prettypretty playbill! for zooming in on listless actors and humourously coaching them! for losing her voice and sleep for us! three cheers!

our english rep JOSEPHINE for relentlessly and even patiently hounding us about RBD performanceything and all the dates itself! for meticulously picking out a song, despite it not being used in the end, and for organising the first bits despite the hindrances such as people not signing up for roles properly... (i think i'm guilty of that, which is how i ended up as co-director, wah sorry josephine)! for doing a playbill too! three cheers!

all those people who were keen on contributing but did not get to in the end! those who supported the really active ones by lending BEST WISHES and et cetera! yay!

ok ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE CHEERS. :D

i'm exhausted. let's have fun tomorrow. :)

(i predict hardly anyone will see this tonight. whoops.)

i'm so blur, i didn't realise that i said "first off is the congratulations" then didn't follow up with anything else after that! what i wanted to say is,

yes we didn't get in. yes we did put in lots of effort, we shouted and got shouted at, and we still did not get in. yes we are disappointed...

but we did a good job. and during the auds i was standing there watching you guys quite uselessly and YOU GUYS WERE SO BRILLIANT HEY. and I <3 ONETWELVE. :) if you are still feeling really down, comecome and tell me and i'll give you a hug! stop wallowing soon and remember that we did a great job. :D
