Teachers' Day...

Seems like I have not been posting lately ya. Cracked my left elbow almost two weeks ago... so i was temporary immobolised and unable to type as fast... anyway, since it's a little better, and i have so much to type today, why not ?

Last week:

1. Broke left elbow... hairline crack, to be exact, since i slipped on my already severely damaged pants which I nelgected for a few months now while doing target practice at weekly taekwondo training... regreted it, since it was an accident waiting to happen. Anyway, the process of discovering the crack is so long that maybe i should elaborate more next time? Nah
   
2. Got back Common Test results:

• English( 21.5/35)-2nd
  
• Chinese(30/60)- good thing i had a pass this time
• Maths(20/30)-seems like i have neglected this subject for some time...
• A Maths(19/30)- slight improvement, but unhappy, since it was simple enough to get full marks...
• Physics(20/30)-at least i maintained, but can do better!
• Sub-science,Chemistry(27/30)-improved...but why was she unhappy?
• Sub-science,Biology(23/30)-fell, but i have no comments for this one...
• Social Studies, Geography...forgot the marks... can't be bothered, since din't do as well...

Although the marks were unexpected, there's still the final examination of the year... IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS!!!

3.Teachers' Day rehearsals

• This is really a killer
• Meet up at any time possible to practice it over and over
• Reduced stage fright, since everyone went through the whole thing at least ten times over 2 weeks before the actual thing.
• As this was the first time I was acting, I never expected myself to be going against the director(although it was mild...to me, it was bad enough ), which I think could be because I am more committed to SJ? I need to spend more time at drama, I guess.

4. Ready, the highlight of the post is here... hope my post is not too long this time... 6.45 am, reached school, head to class room.

• Rush to finish Bio, Chinese and Geography Homework.
  
• 7.10 finished Bio and Chinese, but lacked the inspiration to complete the geography, since i never revised the chapter...
• 7.30 headed to library, where the dancers were, to see Weng Ling, since she asked me the night before to help her check her english... took this chance to meet my cousin, and complete the last question of gepgraphy...
• 8.50 took places, went though final preparations...
• 9.15 am IT'S SHOWTIME!!!
• No signal given to lion dancers, so it was a few seconds before they took positions, ready set, rock the stage!
• 9.20am...it's our turn[Freeze frame]

Ok, this is the actual thing. All the rehearsals for just this 10 minutes of honour for acting. Took out my sling for the first time for drama... a sacrifice, which was worth. this made Mrs Lim, the dance teacher in-charge, to questio me if it was fine...

Everything went on really well for this round. There were "cheers" during the scene where I had to well... that made me feel at a different level, which seemed to make my fears disappear.[and ACTION!]

• 9.32 am, seems like we overshot the ten -minute time limit.. Dance by 3t and 4t students...although they redid the choreography many times before today, the final product was great.
• 9.38 am first time I witnessed Mdm Yak showcase her opera capabilities.
• 9.45 am. The dance. It was great though. Titled "Puppets", which was performed at two other locations before today, it was great, especially the choreography. One thing, though, the music had hiccups here and there...
• 9.50 am-10.15 am. performances by teachers, students and parents( dont want to elaborate...i cant really cut it short)
• break till 10.30 am, before the second show started and repeated itself for the upper secondary students. this time, heard someone from dance saying that acting was so much easier than dancing... why? everything went much smoother this time round, maybe because we were used to it?

Everyone who performed today, well done! Well that's all... wishing all teachers a happy teachers' day...
