Moments

Farewell Assembly Musical was a success!!! :D 

I am so so sooo proud of our actors, singers, dancers, band, AV, backstage, calefare and fellow teammates! You performers really rocked the stage! (: We've been practising so hard for months and this has finally paid off! Sorry if we scream at you at times to try to get your attention, or chid you for missing rehearsals, but as long as you guys enjoyed yourselves on stage, I guess it's all worth it (: Never would I have imagined that the school would be this receptive to our musical! Well of course nothing would ever have a 100% positive review, and I guess it didn't cater too EVERY single person in the audience, but from the response I heard from backstage, I'm pretty sure most of the school enjoyed it (: Sadly this is the one and only musical we would ever get to put up, because having to work with so many different people in the level whom you would have never imagined working with, or would have even imagined to sign up to perform, is indeed a great experience. Maybe once is enough - don't think our level would enjoy the hours of torturous practices :P After this experience, I guess we (Rachel, Ivan and I) really felt how our teachers always feel when handling our level: stressed and frustrated. Not that our levelmates are annoying or anything, but I guess we are just a really active (rowdy) bunch with carefree souls (no sense of urgency). You can only get their attention by talking to them at their level, giving them good news or by threatening them :P But it's been fun! Sure am going to miss working with my levelmates! 

I don't mean to be condescending or anything, but I do feel sorry for those who did not get to experience working on such a big project like this with the entire level, getting to know more people, getting to know people you already know even better..it's just a whole new experience from simply hanging out with the people you are comfortable with and keeping within that small circle of friends. There's nothing wrong with having a small group of friends you are really close too, but it's healthy to get to mingle around with others at times too! I would certainly have regretted if I didn't choose to take this huge project up because then I wouldn't have experienced handling a large group of big kids (which may be what I'm doing for the next 50 years of my life... :O), because then I wouldn't have gotten to know some people better, because then I would have been wasting all the remaining time I have in school rotting away at home, because then I would not have made such wonderful memories! Well if you are starting to regretting to getting to know your levelmates better, there's still time! There's still prom and convocation and the few weeks before that - make full use of your time! It really suddenly hit me today while watching my beloved performers mingling around in the hall during break that in just a few weeks, I wouldn't be seeing more than half the people sitting in front of me till the next reunion, or even well, never ever again. There would be newer people coming into my life, replacing these people in the hall.. I guess I am ready to put these six years of high school behind and move on, but I'm not ready to start a whole new life with a whole bunch of new people. How would I know if I would be able to make friends just like these wonderful people again? Will I ever get to see them again? When will the next time that we meet up? Would I remember them? Would they remember me? One more month to convocation and prom. One more month to say my farewells, express my gratitude, tell my friends how much they mean to me. I am going to miss everyone so much, from the familiar best friends I've known for years, to the usual gangs, and to my teachers. I will make full use of my remaining month in high school, give everyone my full attention, process every moment in my head and keep it stored somewhere in my tiny little brain!

To all our performers and crew: Thank you for one of the greatest experiences I've had in high school and I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as I did working on this musical!

If everyday was as good as today was, then I can't wait till tomorrow comes.
