LD farewell '04
i have just closed a beautiful chapter in my book.
so beautiful that i wished i can choose not to end it.
all the things we did together.
all the tears and laughter.
everything.
i miss LD.
i miss wearing my LD shirt.
i miss the LD cheer.
i miss stepping into drama studio for LD.
i miss mrs tian.
i miss ms jeya.
[ sadly, they didnt come :'( ]
i miss all my fellow sec 4s.
i miss all the LD seniors.
i miss hugging all my juniors so tightly i didnt want to let go.
i miss saying:" LD stand".
i miss all the competition, plays, production and rehearsals.
i miss all those times we had together.
i miss all the macs session after LD.
i miss walking out with LD people.
i miss LD room.
i miss all that stupid photos and video taking when we were bored of rehearsals.
i miss D.A.O.
i miss all the committee meetings and retreat.
i miss the chicken rice near jubilee hall.
...
i miss every little thing.
EVERYTHING.
i can remember all the sweetest memories i spent in LD, with LD ever since i stepped in:
sec one orientation
the drama studio was so welcoming as all the seniors started crowding us, welcoming us. i remember michelle lai's enthusiasium. i remember the souvenir, the hair clips with ELDDS on it. they showed us three plays. i remember the orange juice and the prince thingy. i remember being surrounded by seniors. i can still remember they were rafaela, char y and eva. i remembered it was so dark at that time and yonghui mistook me for eva. and those happened before i stepped into LD. then i remember the SEVEN sec one purity people signing up for LD. and we made it --- yujin, gen w, peifang, cass, wai, lei and me.
sec one course
i remember we had to pay a huge amount of fifty dollars! looks like it is all worthwhile for i am here now recalling all the things we had done in LD. i remember the introduction session. i was talking to huilin! and thinking back now, its really funny cos we were feeling so weird at that time and for all the rubbish we said that time! [-winks at huilin.] but i am really glad we knew each other! so many other things --- improvisations, voice stuff, acting ...
whose vine is it anyway?
it was this fund raising thingy we had in the family lounge. i remember they wanted to go melbourne. all went for auditions except some of us. i remember us being the extras cos we were like doing ushering stuff so we were kind of feeling so left out. and i remember i was given a task of putting a chair right in the middle of the family lounge before the improvisation performance started. every little thing counts.
fire play '01
all thanks to the above activity and that some of the sec ones, including me, could not go, we were put into this fire play! and i mentioned "put", not "chosen", was simply because our names were just randomly written down onto the paper!i remember lynn, our senior, was forced by mrs tian to just grab ten names from the sec ones. she came into class and she asked for LD girls. lei was one of them! and i was like:"oh no.. please dont call on me.." and thanks to lei! she was pointing at me in front and kept saying:" there!! that one!" and this really made a great difference to my life. the play where our talents were FIRST discovered.
vern,claire,XL,HL,karm,suxin,wai,lei,gen and me.
i remember it was very funny cos we had to write down our title and group name so we anyhow came up with : "All About Fire" by the "EIGHT firefighters" when there were TEN! hahaa. i remember wai! we had to do this part bout smoking and i just couldnt catch her hands! we had to practise that like so many times! and there was once when wai dint come and i had to act like i was holding onto her when there wasnt anyone and we all started laughing like mad. and i remember my line "hey! extinguish that cigarette butt before dumping it!" the line i practise so many times cos mrs tian cant hear me and i had to do it in a fast manner.
and the word "BREATHE" instead of "BRIEF". and i rem karm's CHICKEN! and gen's newspapers! and the ethanol and incense paper.. and so many things!
the FIRST time on stage, we got FIRST.
bugis junction.fire play.
because we got first, we were invited to perform at the opening of the fire prevention campaign at bugis junction! i remember the hotdog buns they gave us! it was in the open, the stage was small but we still did it.
elderly hurdle '02
char y,ruth,claire,lei,wai and me.
i will remember this forever. the most beautiful memories of my life. i got to know char y and ruth. i remember the rehearsals we had in the dance studio, drama studio, kebun bahru CC. i remember jo helped us, and she kept laughing at my finger thingy. i remember how char always laughed when she says:"hey! thats a misconception!" i remember how we always laughed somehow when we start to sing Amazing Grace. i remember the smart aleck from breadtalk that we always share together. it holds so much meaning to me. i remember the letters wai wrote to me and the postcards ruth wrote to me too. i remember the time i fell when i ran and tried jumping up the stage in the drama studio. all the stupid things i did. i remember all the times we had in macs after rehearsals and claire mixing all the sauces together! and the time we sat 76 and got lost cos we cldnt find siglap CC [if i am not wrong.]
i remember all the tears and joy we had together. i remember each and every small detail.
we got MERIT while the environment group got into the finals. but i thought what was most important are the lessons i learnt and all the memories we shared as a group. i miss elderly.
elderly @ the library
we were invited to perform once again before the finals began. i remember the small stage, the open area and weird place we had to act in. and how our hearts sank. but it was alright afterall.
committee 2002
i must thank char y, raf and nic. for giving me a chance when they recommended me to be the sec 2 level co. my first time in the committee.
promenade 2002
kaishi,sab jensen,janice,nic,jo,huilin and me.
it was at the house craft room. the chinese new year gathering. i remember the rehearsals in one of the classrooms and how we used their curtains as table cloth. i remember the stupid two pony tails i had to tie. i remember how we always eat the gua zi as we were rehearsing. i remember my line bout the kolar bears. i remember the angbaos we collected from the people hahaa.
diana,huilin,karm,charlene,claire,suxin,gen... and me
i cant really remember who were the people.. oops! but i remember the batik skirts. i remember the french engines.. the weird stuff we did. though it was short but i am glad to have known the people better.
voice and movement course 2002
claire,karm,xinling,gen and me
it was mark and xuan i remember. i remember the mrt scene we came up with during xuan's lesson. it forms this moving picture in my head which i will never forget:
can someone tell me what's going on?
oh my god, whats happening?
[pointing at the watch]
...
i remember all these.
i remember them.
Footprints in the Sand
cass,gen,karm,phoon and me
script writing competition.
it came as a surprise that we got first!
i remember the ten thousand words needed. i remember the black box. i remember the white box. i remember the last minute we handed in our script to ms leong and mrs tian.
it is indeed footprints in the sand. i can see the trails we have left behind..

i loveee ruth and char y.
syf drama.props.2003
diana,zhiying,lei,wai,lee yuan ... and me
the first time i really did the backstage stuff. it was a learning experience. i remember how i was so sad i dint get into syf. but glad i was chosen to be part of the backstage crew though sometimes we were not treated as well as the actresses. i remember how mrs tian was so particular that she made sure who held onto this cushion, or a particular glass, or bag etc. i remember that time on the competition day, the props girls were sitting out there while the actresses were getting into their characters. and i was so amazed when diana and zhiying were holding onto these CD covers which were in a shape of fish! silly me!
sceneful indulgence.mime --- Journey to the West
cass,lei,tiff,geraldine... and me
i remember the beautifully laid out cloths and chairs etc on the drama studio floor. i remember the cellophane we used to decorate the lights. i remember the sceneful indulgence books we had to sell. i remember me and ruth desperately borrowing chairs from everywhere for our performance. and of course there is a secret not to be mentioned here obviously. hee hee hee.
i guess i have to consider myself lucky. because of not getting into syf, i am given this opportunity to try something different like mime. something i have never tried before. and i get to learn form the best mime director, christina!
it is always me! i have always been wondering why do people always get to dress in nice costumes or dresses when I have to be the one doing weird stuff! hahaa. and i know MANY people remember me as the SUN WUKONG. but i guess its good in a way? lol. yes i remember my SUPER COOL shoes! the ones that christina lent me! the ones that look like sun wukong's shoes! cool. and i remember my bamboo.. which is my stick obviously haha. and how i had to stand on the bench. and of course, my hand actions that really made me look like a monkey! the actions that i got so used to that even after that, i think i still have the tendency to do the actions! hahaa! and i remember lei as the priest, geri as the piggy, and of course cass as sa zeng, whom is taken over by tiff later on...
i remember cass. i know i will always keep her close to my heart. so many words unspoken..
i miss her.
fluid fusion.mime.2003
lei,tiff,geraldine.. and me
the journey to the west again.
the night at the kallang theatre. i remember the dressing rooms. we had to squeeze into two of them. i remember our dinner. i remember all the gel. i remember we kept running around. i remember the stupid make up the golden haired person had to do for me! [i suddenly cant recall her name oops!] i remember the time on stage. i remember the lights. i remember every movement. i remember it all. though we felt we were just not suited to do mime and indian storytelling cos it is so not LD, we did it.

committee 2004
charlene,claire,huilin,karm,gen,peifang,xinling and me
i remember the elections. we were called outside of the drama studio to wait for our turn. it was the first time we had to answer questions. i remember when i was standing on the stage, they asked this super hard question to answer. then i remember i was hesistating. and i remember the faces looking at me. i remember them. and i remember when ms jeya continued to ask me. i remember them and i remember the moment i answered them. i will never forget that moment.
and i remember when we were still outside, we started crying cos we thought it would be the last time the seven of us would be together as the committee. and we all made it! including peifang!
peifang: the props and costume manager! i am so proud of her! cos she is the one who is so protective of the LD room and we need people like that.
