The Colourful Life of PIXUS: March 2008

27th March 2008 -- A very special day... 5A's Class Play, ARMY DAZE...

After months of thoughts and two weeks of intensive preparation, we're finally ready for our class play. It's been two tiring weeks as we're been staying back to rehearse and to work on props. I couldn't even sleep well 3 days ago as we seemed so unprepared. However, as expected, 5A rose to the occasion and displayed their best performance ever today during assembly. I am so proud of my babies... WELL DONE!!!

After being FTs to 4 different classes and going through 2 class plays, I still feel nervous during the play. Though I was confident that their performance would be good, I wasn't sure how the audience would react to it. However, upon hearing the laughs and rousing applause, I knew we nailed it. I was like a proud parent, watching my children perform.

Now that the play is over and I find some time to think about stuffs, I felt that I was really happy to see everyone finally playing their role to the best of their abilities (which was a great improvement from rehearsals). A week ago, I was still yelling at people for being irresponsible, being laid back and not being serious about the role etc... I even stormed out of the hall on Monday because they weren't ready for me to watch. Today, or rather starting from yesterday, everyone began to be more serious. They started to listen to Director Nishanthi when she's giving feedback. When I watched at them today, I finally see great teamwork! Everyone played their part, the trees, the blind man, the main actors, the AV crew, the stage crew, the narrator, the director... everyone... all 42 did their part and thus a huge success! See... 5A... you are capable.... so... Believe and Become!!!

Alright, enough of talking... let's see 5A in action!
