I’m VERY SAD. Diary-x is down! And there goes my blog. as in my personal blog. and there’s so much I want to say except I can’t put it here cos it’s a public blog and I might get killed for saying the wrong things ): BOOHOO. I miss my blog.
Well, that aside, ARES RULES. And its amazing! Like we did our best performance on Thursday night and there were quite a few screw ups on Friday night, which was kinda worrying especially since Friday night was judging night. Like I forgot to put the cup on trump’s table ): but I’m glad we still won the most prestigious BEST PLAY award.
eddy (the ares director) was saying that we didn’t stand a very good chance. I guess maybe we were too complacent cos everyone was telling us on Thursday that our play was the best and I supposed we kinda let down our guards on Friday night. and its AMAZING how Apollo managed to change their script overnight! I thought apollo’s play was really really good, and Ervin was excellent at acting as a gay cabaret dancer! (: Cos the order of performance was artemis, ares, Athena and then Apollo, we watched apollo’s play on thurs after staging ours and we thought there wasn’t anything to worry about. But eddy watched apollo’s play again on Friday and she came down the steps of the LT shaking her head ): so I guess a few of us kinda lost hope right there and then. And eddy was near to tears ): but its okay, we won 4 out of 8 and the MOST PRESTIGIOUS ONE (: best play!
It was nerve wrecking waiting for the results, I tell you. I mean, I’m just backstage crew, but still! And everyone put in equal amounts of effort, like everyone was there for every single rehearsal and we spent the last 2 weeks before Dramafeste till 10 or so everyday making props and rehearsing. So its quite scary la! Especially since you don’t want to see your past few weeks of effort go to waste. And we celebrated after we won, of course! We celebrated it THE ARES WAY (: with our fac dance and all! And with tonnes of pizza and absolutely lovely chocolate fudge cake. I felt so grateful to Helen and mengtian too. Like I walked out of hwachong with them after the ares party and I was telling Helen about how I nearly thought we wouldn’t win and Helen went ‘but seriously. I’ve been emcee for so many rehearsals and for the past two nights’ shows. Each time you guys were on stage, ARES OWNED IT.’ I’M SO SO SO HAPPY! (: thank you Helen dear!
And here’s a MAJOR FACT. Apollo has won Dramafeste for the PAST SIX YEARS CONSECUTIVELY! But ares owned on Friday! and it was no mean feat, considering Apollo has got humans program ppl and tonnes of elddfs members. so I hope ares will win for the next SIXTY YEARS, till I’m an old granny hehe! (: and mr perry (one of the judges) came to congratulate during our celebration and he’s like ‘you guys set a new benchmark.’ And to think we were all worried that we wouldn’t win. Sigh (: how silly of us! Eddy was like so solemn after we staged our play and everyone was so scared that we’d get another scolding, but eddy went ‘I have a message to convey from the elddfs – you guys were simply better than last night.’ OMG!
And nick and jiehong certainly made us feel less anxious before the play! I had STOMACHACHE okay. Cos I laugh too much! they were singing their SUDDENLY song. And then they changed it to CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT. Like they were singing: can you feel the love tonight, this is the only line, do you know the second line, the third fourth fifth sixth line, the seventh eight nine line, this is the only line. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT LAHH. haha!
LONG LIVE ARES.
