Drama 08

'And the runner up is'....When the emcee said this, time stopped. Everything when through my head. All the wonderful memories with the drama team, all the sad moment, all the pissing off moments..All when through my head. And then time played again. This time the emcee continued and said 'school no.7, smk st. john'. It was the suckiest feeling EVER. Especially with bulls at the back making hella alot of noise. What makes it even more sucky is that our team did not see their play. Imagine losing to someone without knowing what they were like.

When the first time i joined drama, people said that u will learn bout the spirit of st. johns and the drama team will be like a brotherhood. i honestly thought at the beginning that was bullshit. But yesterday( 17.5.08), evrything changed. I felt the spirit, the johannian spirit, i felt the brotherhood of the drama team. I've always been asking myself why did ravin, izzat and other old drama members came back to help us. And now i know. Its all about the feeling. A feeling like being part of something.

To arvind, andy, afendi, soh wai keat, chan wai keat, chan kai sze, joe,ritesh, firdaus, nasril, edward, kok huah, sarveen, and yap, u guys were awesome. so were ravin, izzat, and other drama members.Seriously. we were brilliant. Nothing would ever change that fact. Maybe people wont remember runner ups. So what? We will remember each other. What we did yesterday, when we did the drama, we gave a perfomance the audience will not forget. I know we achieved that.

I honestly never thought the drama team would be this close, but we did. I am damn proud we did become a unit. I am god Damn proud. We were all one yesterday. Especially after the results were announced. The way we screamed ST.JOHNS! the way we sang onward st.johns!. Literally screaming our lungs out. Every one of us, screaming our lungs out. All 20 of us, including the old boys hu were there to support us, and teachers out singing the 30-40 bulls. outnumbered yet beating them. Beat that bulls!

I had never seen kok huah, edward, nasril, firdaus,ritesh, sarveen and yap so fired up like yesterday. So determined to kick ass next year. i honestly thought some of you guys were not interested in drama initally. but u guys proved me wrong. The way u guys were focused, the way u guys reacted, it made me proud. I hope u guys instill this determination, this fire u guys found to the new drama members. If you instill this spirit in them, i am absolutely 110% sure u guys will suceed in what ever u want to achieve. My have absolutely no regrets at all bout joining drama. All the tution skipping, the flunkking of exams, all are small sacrifices. The bigger picture is the drama team. And i learned that.

The only sad thing is that i cant be part of this team next year. But i will help out, if u guys need me. If u guys need my help, call me. All i hope from u guys is that u guys make the form fives of this year drama team this year proud.

All that is left to say is that, i wanna thank ravin and izzat, you have done so much for this years drama team, and thought us a lot bout drama. Showed us what drama is all about. To drama teachers, thanks in million fot support and encouragement, and to all drama members, i dont know how to describe u guys, but i love each and everyone of you. we truly are a brotherhood, for life.

FIDE ET LABORE!
