The overwhelming smell of hairspray is unable mask the nervousness of the actors. There they sit in the middle of the black box, waiting for their turn on stage, performing for a prestige group of people, Cameras start clicking away, voices get more animated as they distract themselves from their fate. As “doomsday” gets more and more closers, their heartbeat get louder and louder, so loud that I can hear from the black box while they are at backstage.

BUT YET I WAS CALM. Cause I know that they will not let the seniors down and put up a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious performance, wowing the crowd. Focused until the last beat.

I AM RIGHT.

SPEECH DAY WAS AWESOME.

With love, darrick.

"When you're all out there, enjoy getting all the attention, HAVE FUN!"
-Mr. Smith
Yes and we did, right ? :)
28 October, early morning,
The whole of the school was still dead in the midst of silence and yawning.
Except for one particular place.
THE BLACK BOX!
People were pacing up and down.
The ATC people, to be exact.
Some were camwhoring, some were busy meddling with their ribbons with the help of Ms.Lee, Ms.Lin and some girls from the costume team.
THE LONG AWAITED ARTS FEST IS HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE!!
Soon, more and more ATCians were bustling into the black box.
Excited shrills pierced the air.
THE LONG AWAITED ARTS FEST IS HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE!!

First thing first, we got into our costumes and waited for the make up.
Of course, the make up was done nicely.
The make up team managed to finish on time although they only had a few people.
Then we did some warm ups and rehearsals, lead by Mr. Smith.
After that, we sat and prepared for the
LONG AWAITED ARTS FEST PERFORMANCE!
The camwhores and the meddling with ribbon continues, accompanied by the door opening momentarily which causes the voices outside to seep in once in a while.
Then came the moment when Mr. Smith led us outside, with our full costumes and make up all done.
ALL OF US WERE VERY VERY VERY NERVOUS, at least I was .
The teachers encouraged us, and told us to enjoy and relax.
Walking calmly as a group, (first time atc performed together!)
we reached the destination.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Few seconds later, we were all walking to our places.
Cheering could be heard.
FARAH!
AFIQ!
MALCOLM!
JASMINE!
HAZIQ!
And on,
LOADS OF THEM
Soon, we were getting all the limelights, just as Mr. Smith had told us.
Then the music came in,
capturing almost everyone's attention when we started to move slowwwwly into our first positions.
Slowly, into every single positions.
After that it was the waving.
As expected, people waved back.
I am sure many spotted their friends among the crowd.
It was so exciting.
Next it was the movements again but at light's speed.
Luckily not many forgot their movements.
Lastly, it was the wild animals.
it was rather obvious that all of us were very much into character,
remembering to make use of the bars more often and looking down at the audience from different places.
there were claps and cheers.
EXHILARATED AND ELATED,
we gave our bows and rushed back to the Black box.
The teachers thought we did a good job, yes I'm sure we did right?
:D

After that we had our sandwiches which were bought by the teachers and 'served' by Sakinah! (:
Standing outside, people were discussing how they felt during the performance.
'Nervous', 'excited', 'very fun' .
Well personally i felt abit weird at first but then, upon seeing other people doing the same thing.
I felt that we were very much united, and that was probably the 2009 sec one batch's first and last performance with the sec3s.
Hence, we had to give our very best.
Although we might not be as 'violent' as we should have been during the wild animal part,
I thought we did quite good.
Then came the sad news.
):
We were not going to do the performance again ! ):
Aw man!
Due to the RAIN
THE LALALA RAIN.
D:
after that, cleaned up.
took out make up.
And changed.
After one day of hard's work, we sat down.
Listened to the teachers.
Laughed commented.

Was such a fruitful day yeah ;D
Once again , thankyou to all those who made it possible for us to perform.
MR.SMITH, MS.LEE, MS.LIN AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE MAKE UP AND COSTUME TEAM !

A Note To Note

2009-10-15T04:17:00.000-07:00

Hello ATCians!

This is Soraya here. Cool. I love the blog. Those who made it, kudos to you!

Anyway, I don't really have anything to say. But this is going to be an informal 'letter'.
Haha. Ok, I know it is not funny.
Some of you probably do not even know what I am talking about.

Someone please inform me whether or not we can use shortened words, because this perfect English is killing me.
Heehee. So, how have you all been?
Wow. I seriously do not know what to say.
Oh, maybe I can say my thank-yous.
I want to thank Miss Lee and Miss Lin, for letting me into ATC.
I want to thank Mr Smith, for putting up with my complete inability to keep to a beat during the Minngie performance. Sorry.

I want to thank everyone who helped me in any way during the Speech Day performance, including Mrs Sally.
That reminds me, does she know the blog?

I want to thank all the ATC seniors, especially the welfare seniors, Sakinah, Jasmine, Hady, Natasha and Dhurrgah,(Sorry if I misspelled your names), for making us feel welcome. I think I speak for all the welfare juniors when I say, "Thank you guys very much!"

So, that should be all.

Oh, I just want to say I really enjoyed all the ATC outings we have had, and I cannot wait for the ATC camp, and hopefully more outings. :D

So that is all.

Remember though, it does not matter if we are in welfare/publicity/quarter master/ technical, we are all just one big, happy ATC family.:D
I say that since there have been a few excuses of not, well, mixing together, since we are in different groups.
I think I have blabbed enough.

So, bye-bye fellow sexy ATCians.
XD

A Story To Share

2009-09-21T04:19:00.000-07:00

HI ! Here's a story for everyone. :)
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a school. In this school, there were many wonderful beings, called humans.

They all studied together in this school, called Anderson Secondary School. After their classes, some of these humans came together for their Co-Curricular Activities. They called this group of people the ATCians, and the group as the Anderson Theatre Circle. They put up shows and plays.

Curious about this Co-Curricular Activity, also known as CCA in their school, I joined them. They welcomed me with heartwarming smiles. In a room filled with many strangers, we were introduced to the previous Executive Committee, also known as the ExCo. We got to know some seniors too.

Soon, we were told that our very first production by ourselves and a few Secondary Two seniors was to be performed on a specific day, known through the school as Speech day. I was assigned a role as a classmate, otherwise a calefare as i only appeared once. I was disappointed, but happy as i still got a chance to appear. It turned out to be a success. Although there were minor mistakes such as little response from the people on stage and people touching the backstage curtains, so on and so forth, I thought we did a pretty good job.

Then there was the theatre trips. The teachers-in-charge, Ms Rochelle Lin and Ms Lee Min Er, organized a theatre trip to the play "Much Ado About Nothing" written by Shakespeare. It was a pretty good play and it brought a lot of us together. Also, there was the physical theatre festival held by Anglo-Chinese Junior College, where we managed to enjoy performances by different schools. We had a chance to take part in it, but due to the serious H1N1 situation, we were not allowed to.

Committee work also brought people in different committees together, as it acted like a bonding session.

The upcoming event also requires our expertise, the arts festival. I have a lot to learn from everyone in ATC. The ExCos, Praveena, Zhe Shuo, Zhan Rong, Darrick, Yu Jun and Sakinah. The Shadow-Excos, Haziq, Benjamin, Natasha, Farah, Xin Hui and another secret Shadow-ExCo. And of course, all the seniors in ATC.

Sorry, I sound like I'm writing a farewell letter.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me in one way or another. A BIG THANK YOU! :) I'm really sounding like i'm writing a script for a speech.

:) Lastly, I want to share some luck with all the Sec 4, Sec 3-going-on-Sec-4 for their exams, and to the rest of us for our End-Of-Year Exams. :)

Goodbye,:D
The End.

with lots of happiness and smiles,
amelia. :D

As An SM for Speech Day '09

2009-09-12T20:48:00.000-07:00

When I first knew that I was the SM for Speech Day,
I was shocked and surprised.
I had no experience of being a SM at all and I didn't even know what to do.

When I went for the sessions of Speech Day preparation,
I was glad that I was a part in this production.
I got to know a lot of juniors and I gained experience.

Together with the script-writers that Mrs Lee had chosen,
I had to write and modify the script wherever was necessary.
Being the SM was harder than what I imagined.

I would like to thank Ms Lee,
Ms Lin for giving me the chance to be the SM,
Mrs Lee and Salmah for the guidance to be a good SM.
Thank you(:

Ng Xin Hui.
