My Life is Full of DRAMA

Farewell Fest pictures

2011-10-22T21:33:00.002+08:00

Well.... here they are. I believe I am missing quite a bit, so if you happen to have any clue of what I'm missing do tell me.

Link!

There's a total of 33 pictures, so I'm DEFINITELY missing something. Look at Lit Fest. ('3')

Oh, and for those who needs a heads-up on what we did on Thursday, we made masks. We're going to perform a play using masks on 'The Lorax' by Dr. Seuss, on Open House day for the new Sec Ones. Remember to tape up the inside so you won't have your eyebrows ripped off after the show'. -snickers-

Pictureeeees!

2011-10-10T01:08:00.002+08:00

I'm sorry for the horrible tardiness of this 'pictures uploading', but here they are.

For Lit Fest only though. I'll upload Farewell Fest's soon.

Clickie here!

Or, if you can't use the link for some reason, it's http://photobucket.com/shdclitfest2011 .

I'd love to change the title - but I can't - so ignore the username. XD

Jut

PS: If you notice any pictures double or missing, tell me. I may have missed some.

Commitee! XD

Well then, hello there. This is Jutima, taking over the duty of updating this blog. I'll do my best to post up weekly, and of course inform you of any important events, notices and changes.

So the first order is business is the new Executive Committee, or Ex-Com for short. Or at least that's how I believe 'Ex-Com' stands for.

President: Royston
Vice-President: Noreen

Production Manager: Dina
Assistant Production Manager: Jia Le
Treasurer: Allyah
Artistic Director: Jutima
Artistic Advisor: Manisha

Level Co-ordinators:
Sec 3 - Xin Een

Well, that's that. Congratulations, we're all awesome people.

Second order of business would be - wait for it - Farewell Fest!!

So the nitty gritty we all need to be aware of is as such:

Date: 16th September
Venue: The Tropical ((I'll upload a map of it later.))

Theme: Gothic White
Elaboration: You can wear white. Like, totally white. White shirt, white trousers, white pants, white shoes, white socks, white ties, white hat, white jacket, white eyeliner, white lipstick, white blush... the list goes on and on. Be creative! And dress nice, for we may have a surprise in store for you...

Who's in charge of what? :
Decor: Lynn
Food: Diyana
Invitations: Xin Een
Entertainment and Photography: Dina

All and any concerns can be posted through comments, the tagboard, FaceBook... and the such.

One last thing! Do send me pictures of Drama Club, both of existing members and alumni. I'll put up an album somewhere. But seriously, we need pictures - and fast. XD

Email them to: didysdog@gmail.com

Hey kids.

Been long since I've blogged here (since I have passed on the role of the Artistic Director) (which by the way was first known as the humble "Drama Blogger", just sayin' ;] ) so I decided to drop by.

Oh and Rara here by the way. For those who don't know me, I'm Ra.

Anyway, I was clearing pictures in my computer and I stumbled across these....

Yeah, it's picture time. Enjoy!
Circa 2008.

Hahaha, this was during the Arts Elective Module.And this is Aloyscious being a circus monkey.

Nadia in a life vest. Do you remember this life vest? DO YOU? O hey Nad...he he he.

OK the new juniors should know who this is circus monkey is.Yes Gabes I just called you a circus monkey too.

And yeah I've got tonnes more but I'll keep it for later so I can have an excuse to blog here. ;)

For those of you wondering how we are now, here's a pic. And yep, that's Mr Rash (the main guy behind SHSDC. He's doesnt teach in SHS anymore.) with Baby Rash (Nadine aka Droolmonster! She's a cutie.)

Yeah we're still as sane as ever. We miss Drama. Treasure your time in it no matter how intense it gets!

Cheers xx
Rara

UPDATE!

2010-06-24T23:24:00.003+08:00

Hi there fellow cool kids ! :D
just a really quick update on this really dead (but not for long) blog!

We have been rehearsing our upcoming play "Lord of the Flies"
during practices and i think we're really getting better day by day!
Everyone has been putting in so much more effort than before in
really connecting and developing our characters to make them our
own ! *pat on the backs for everyone!*

During today's practice, Royston and Nicole also shared their ideas
on how we can promote and raise awareness on the play and they
came up with using Facebook as our main tool of advertising which
is really efficient! WOOHOO! Seniors and Juniors if you have any other
suggestions , please please approach them or the teachers or any other
members in fact :) we'll promise to bring it up and try to work around it !

Other than improving our production, concerns over the lack of interaction
and the important bond between the cast and also the crew have also been
raised and this has led to our decision to meet up with each other and talk about
the play and just have fun! let's do that soon okay guys ? :)

hmmm, guess that's all for now, have a great day everyone and thanks for reading!
*shouts DRAMAFIED*

Love,
Mel

2010-02-28T19:50:00.003+08:00

Hey again, everyone!:)
Here are some important updates for drama (should've been done earlier>.<)

We have new recruits! the list is in the "CRAZY bunch" section on the right if you scroll down. Congrats to them and welcome to the family:)))!
We have a new trainer ready to get us (excluding sec 4s thanks to O levels:[...) going for the EOY production 2010! her name is Ms Asha and she's from Act 3 :D
There will be a Service-learning activity coming up soon for us during the Drama camp in the March hols... we are still currently discussing the details hahas:D (we could very well be doing this to help raise funds for the school, though...*sigh* lol)

Alright, that's all for now... all the best!

New Look! :D

2010-02-26T22:59:00.002+08:00

Hey all Drama people!
hahas, this is my very first post on this blog:) and seems like the new look is getting along well with you guys... oh, and i think you should have noticed that ipod touch thingy playing songs down there, XD ...

By the way, to juniors who haven't heard these songs before, they were either used in previous productions or in training. Hearing them gives me goose bumps brr... nostalgia chills me to the bone...lolx anyway, if you guys wanna request for any other songs (related to drama please... and that means you gabs... no Gaga...XD hehe..), please DON'T hesitate to ask me:) however, i can't upload songs from CDs... it's gotta be from youtube...sadly... and i was thinking that we could upload soundtrack from future productions too, i think that'll be cool:D k, noreen? hahas..

Anyway, thanks for everything, seniors! we still miss you:(...

All the best everyone!
J, (eremy)

An old picture I found while looking through my computer...

2010-02-18T21:33:00.001+08:00

I do not wish to elaborate on what we were trying to prove (which is in fact, nothing) and this is us, at our most beautiful (cough) in 2006. Omg.

Juniors be thankful you don't have us in school anymore to torture you with this nonsense. We now haunt you in the alumni. Peace!

Anyways, Jeremy and Noreen will be taking over the blogging from now on! Farewell, blog well!

-Rara

(Ps: We look much better now)

Outing Updates!

2008-12-14T20:24:00.000+08:00

Hello all! We've progressed!

Aha, okay we've decided...

DRAMA'S BIG DAY OUT

SENTOSA'S PALAWAN BEACH

DATE: Either 23rd Dec (Tuesday) or 29th Dec (Monday)

Please TAG on which day you can make it! The majority's date shall be chosen.

We're gonna have a picnic at the beach and everyone is invited. Psh duh I mean it's a drama day...-.- (Alumni, Teachers Members bla bla yadda yadda) We're gonna have games like Twister, Bang Bang (Club fave :D) and we're gonna watch the sunset and then we'll have dinner.

Okay TIME:

We'll meet at 12++ pm at Habourfront or something, and it's a whole day thing. So yup KEEP YOURSELVES FREE! It's gonna be awesome and we'll be chillaxing and bla bla. Yay!

Okay PLEASE PLEASE TAG/EMAIL/SMS WHATEVER.
WHOO!

More soon,
Peeeeeace.

Ra.

Picnic at the beach!

2008-12-12T20:44:00.000+08:00

That sounds pleasant! But it keeps raining!

Anyways, I think a picnic at the beach sounds like a good idea. And most of us agree! 'Cause it's hassle free and everyone of us can bring a certain picnic food (like sandwiches and pretty muffins and brownies and all that nice looking/tasting things) and drinks and maybe a game of Twister or something to pass time. Bonding games.

And Naz, I don't think we can throw Mr Rash in the sea because it's all contaminated now and we don't want anyone getting viruses. Lol. And Ben your idea is like...hahaha let's not talk about it shall we. Hahaha!

BUT ANYWAYS KEEP YOUR IDEAS COMIN'! BECAUSE THEN WE CAN PROGRESS WITH OUR PLANS. :)

Miniature sandwiches, people!!!!!

`Ra.

Outing and Play.

2008-12-10T16:56:00.000+08:00

Hellew everybody.

How are your holidays? Good? Boring? Got the subject you wanted, Sec2s? FULL OF WORRY?

Chillax. Haha, definetly we can wait for school. (Although I have to say, I am a tad excited to see people like Gabriel/Adam/Jeremy etc etc in LONG PANTS. Hahahaha!)

(Outing stuff below, pics first)

I think you guys got really excited because you guys seem to be shaking alot. From what I see from the pictures. Pahaha.

That's Sebastian Tan right? Broadway Beng? I read that he was playing the queen. Hehe he looks very purty. :)
Glad you all had fun!

OKAY PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS NOW BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT:

DRAMA OUTING 2008

1) When

OKAY, WHEN WHEN WHEN.

If you guys have something on/going overseas, PLEASE TAG when you guys are free. Or send an email.

2) Where

The beach? A park? Have a picnic? ANY IDEAS? TAG.

3) Why

'Cause we want to improve our bond for SYF. And also to have fun. And to talk, chit-chat, eat bla bla.

It's gonna be a simple outting. Like a picnic or something like that. And are we gonna crash at Mr Rash's? Or Nazrul's if you prefer us calling that way. Lol.

Okay please respond or else no outing.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ra.

WE DID IT!

2008-10-24T15:26:00.000+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE!
WE DID IT, WE DID IT!
Never gets old huh? :D

Okay, so yes. It's finally over.
And we're allllll sad! Even though we used to go (sometimes) "Eee got Drama after school ah?" or "Eurgk! Dramaaaa!" because we were so tired and all, now we WANT more rehearsals! (SYF SYF! WHEE!)

I don't know how to start this post. -.-

It was freaking awesome!!!!!

The Matinee show was all right, but nothing beats the Gala performance at night (our Evening show)!

1) AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AUDIENCE!
The Sec1s (afternoon audience) were a tad silent but it was allright! In the evening, our audience was simply awesome. They laughed at our lame jokes! And they gave us 2 applauds in the middle of the show! Wowww we were so happy. And Mr and Mrs Rash came too! And Miss Siti! AND Elnieee!!
Ahahaaaahaaa. Thank ya'll! And Mr Ong, Miss Yew, Mrs Sui and the other VIPs who supported us all the way. :D

2) NO SOUND OR LIGHTING OR PROP GLITCHES! THE CREWWWW!
Everything went smoothly!
Thank you to our SWEET SWEET AND THE BEST SM EVER, Nadia, because without your help our play would be soundless and lightless. And OUR SWEET SOUNDMAN, JEREMY!!! You did great for a first timer!
Awesome job guys! Ya'll rocked the control room!
Thank you to our SAs (Angelica, Carissa, Keith, Steven) as well, because without YOU, we'd be propless. :)
Thank you Leon! For coming and helping us! And also to our dearest MAKEUP AND HAIR AND WARDROBE CREW (Bel, Adam, Elizabeth, Audrey, Erwin, Joyce, Vanessa) for making us look fab!

And our dearest ASM CLARISSA, We're so so sorry for talking during our school rehearsals when we're supposed to be backstage. Haha, YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB.

3) TEACHERS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
Thank you Miss Abidah for everything! Even though it's only your first time handling us, you did great!! Sorry if we were un-cooperative at times, we love you!
Also thankyou to Miss Munirah, Mr Sharil, Miss Lam and the other teachers who helped us! And also to the Aesthetics Society Members and Handbellers who helped us in the reception area and being ushers. :D
A huge hug to our family members and friends who came to watch the play!! Thanks for giving us your support!

4) THE CAST!
WOW GUYS! We did great too!!! Lol. I'm gonna miss rehearsing with you guys (for the play).
Aloy and Su, ya'll did a great job in portraying I and the Prince. Gabes, even though people thought you were a puppet (this includes my mom), you did great. And you have a really nice wig. Natalie and HuiXuan, thank you for working with me (Ra) as my beloved scholars. You guys did great! The Chorus (Hidayah, Ben, Erica, Nicole, Melody,PohYee) did a brilliant job in switching roles so well! Charmaine, wonderful job. Very good. Kim! You cheeky old woman, haha awesome as the granny!

:D

All in all, we did a brilliant job.
I'm so glad that in the process of making this play come to life, we have really bonded so so much.
The Sec1s which seemed to be silent are actually really loud and funny! Some of us who were never close have bonded really well. And some who were once mortal enemies (ya'll know who you are, wink wink) might actually become pretty good friends after all.
We're all one big drama family!
-Tears-
Aahahah, well, there is still SYF so those of you who are sad this is over, we'll still see each other!

I am so proud of us! Hahaha, can't wait to see you guys next!

THERE IS REHEARSALS DURING THE HOLIDAYS, I WILL POST THE SCHEDULE (Shehdule what! Why ya'll say its Sckedule...whatever!) WHEN I GET IT.

Love,

RA.

2008-08-28T20:53:00.000+08:00

I have no idea how to begin this post but I shall anyways.

Today was Mr Rash's last teaching day at SHS. So yeah, many unexpected things happened. I don't know how to say! ):

But we cried! It's utterly depressing when one of the best teachers ever leaves huh? Whyyyyy?!?!?!

Well Mr Rash, thank you for everything. Really. Thank you for moulding the Drama Club and without you, we won't be where we are today.
Thank you for your awesomeness, crappiness and moodswings. (as much as we hate it, we'll miss it.)
You have been such an awesome teacher, even a fatherly figure to some of us, a brother, a friend.
Thank you for making English and Pure Lit extremely enjoyable, it's a joy to be in your class. Drama has been so so so wonderful with you around. Treats at Macs and LJS and everything.

WE MISS YOU ALREADY!!!!!!!!!! ):

I wonder how you managed to handle a bunch of 50 over crying 15 year olds today in class!

I hoped you enjoyed your years in SHS Mr Rash. You da man! :D

What we all will miss:

"Oh! I forgot my key!"

-Sings into mic/ke whatever- "My voice is beeeoootiful!"

YOU PASTING POST-ITS ON THE FLOOR. To warn people about the illusions of steps. :)

"Yah what, English is only L1R5...L1!"

Yes, your corner, -wink- shall still be in the PAS. Of course!

FREE BAGS ROCK.

All the best in MICA Mr Rash! Hope you will enjoy your time there, and please please drop by one day okay? I hope you have the best teachers' day tomorrow. You're the best! Don't forget to remember us, because we'll always remember you!!

Your 'epic win'ning line:
"YO MOMMA SO OLD, SHE KNEW BURGER KING WHEN HE WAS A PRINCE!!"

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Artstreat! (!)

2008-05-22T21:04:00.000+08:00

Hey guys!

As all of you know, we had out Artstreat! Lunchtime Concert 2008 on Tuesday.
It was such a blast!

After our Morning devotion, we all went to the PAS [which we couldn't use later on, :( ] for a short rehearsal. We weren't very happy about the performance. Anyways, at 10.30, we went to practice more till the actual thing at 11.45.

We used a vacant classroom ( -.- ) and did our awesome make-up and everyone looked so gorgeous. I had to leave a little earlier though, to go prepare the last minute emcee scripts and arrangements and blablabla.

Anyways, it was so awesome. Everyone's eyes were on you guys when ya'll performed!! It went really great and everyone looked nice in their costumes. And Char really did resemble Penny...haha! :D Which is a good thing, Char. Only thing is that we didn't have that lollipop...

After all those rehearsals and little time, it paid off with a great performance. (Ok that wasn't phrased correctly.) After the whole thing, we went back to the PAS. Whooohoo! We took so many photos which I'm editing right now.

I'm making them more nicer to look at. :D

Here you go! And bear my lame attempts for good funny captions. Which are kinda -.-.

Alot of photos! Whoohoo!
And with the help of my photo editor I was able to pixelate unglam faces + erase blemishes. :D
Ok enough of me ranting and here are the pictures!

Pyramid!

Nana and Aloy as T and L.
Hahahhaa. Fork knife christmas ham..burger.
Bomm...-.-

Me and Clarabel. :D
Link and Amber together forever.

Hmm.

Drama with Elnie.

2007-11-26T19:00:00.000+08:00

Hi.
I'm going to blog about our SYF training sessions with Elnie. :D

1st session :

Elnie played some games with us to make us ready and less sleepy.
Then she introduced us to the "Stanislavski" method.
Inside-out method, and Outside-it method.

Inside-Out :

- Feeling the moment.
- Thoughts and feelings affecting the way you feel.

Outside-In :

- More of Action Reaction.
- External factors affect the way you feel.

Eg) Character has to be tired, so the actor runs 10 rounds around his room to make him feel tired.

Most important : Both needs Sense Memory.

Some notes we all took :

1) Life imitates art, and Art imitates Life. (Similar)
Life Mirrors Art, Art Mirrors Life. (Same) <- We wanna do this.

2) Acting is pretending, Being is real.
We must NOT act, but BE.

Then Elnie talked to us about differences between words and feelings, and talked about our 6 senses.

We did many fun activities relating to our senses, some were emotional but yet fun.
Hmmmm,.

2nd Session :

Firstly, Ms Abidah, our new Teacher i/c, introduced herself to us, and so did we.
We all had fun doing so because we were laughing most of the time. :D

Then Elnie came (with muffins for us :D ).

"Art to mirror Life, Life to imitate Art"

We got to know some new points like ;

Difference between Art and Life is -> AUDIENCE.

We had spent a few minutes figuring that out.
And that was our MAJOR POINT. ;D

And also: NO SOUL = NO FEEL.

Elnie also told us not to act, but just be.
We also did Sense Memory exersises.

And with that, we ended our SYF training (for this year of course. -.---- )

Ahahaha, no pictures man.
We did'nt get to take any!

-Rara.

AEM.

2007-10-16T15:58:00.000+08:00

Hi.
AEM is part of Drama Programmes right?
So I shall blog about today.

:D

10 of us had to go to Temasek Poly for AEM.
And we got lost. -_____-
We ended up being kinda late but we were excused.
Hahaha.

Our instructor was Hernie and she was kinda nice. ;D
And funny.
Because she showed us some art work and said that one piece was "just bullshit".
Haha, pun intended coz the art piece was canned shit by some artist called Piero something.
Siglap Sec was also involved.
Then we had to do a mosiac art piece in pairs.....
And we also learnt stuff about art and everything.
It was a little boring but we had fun when we got to do the small project.
Haha.

Its so wierd that Business students have to do Mosiacs because its not like they are gonna benefit in business by cutting materials into small shapes and pasting them on paper.
Does it help?
-__-

Next week we're gonna have Drama course.
Yay!

`Ranjeetaaa.

Hi(:

2007-10-11T14:42:00.000+08:00

2007-09-07T00:05:00.000+08:00

Hey all again, woah, this whole week has been super duper draining. I got sunburned and lotsa mosquito bites from west coast park today >< We did'nt really do much there today, the whole idea for todays program was for us to familarize with the place so that on the actual day itself, we wont get lost or mess things up. We were'nt needed to bring our intruments today so basically we just hung around under the sun. The sun was practically farting on us, you know like PROOTT. Mr Mohd Noor and the others were preety stressed judging from the looks on their faces but i guess its neutral. Alright, there isnt much to say so i'll just end off here. Oh and a special thanks to bedok south secondary for giving us a lift back to their school. You guys are really awesome ^^

4th September

2007-09-04T15:36:00.000+08:00

Today's rehersal was super tiring and painful! We went to Cresent Girls school near the Redhill MRT. When we all started with the practice, most of us couldnt remember the 'steps' but we managed to recall within the next few tries. The djembe (i didnt know it was spelt like that
><) drum players were doing better and the tamborinas are getting better too. The stilt walkers and the dancers were awesome! I really wanted to try to walk on them but im preety sure i'll fall right on my butt xD Mr rash wasnt here today but mdm chen came along instead. The whole practice was 2 hours straight and there wasnt even a tea break )= Lol..okay guys, cya tomorrow ^^

(Oh and everyone remember to watch high school musical 2 on sunday,sep9 at 730pm alright?)

Act 3

2007-09-02T10:22:00.000+08:00

Hey all, sorry for not updating the blog & doing my duty as web mistress ><

During the whole of the semptember 1 week holidays, we will be going to 2 other schools to practice our performance for Act3. Holy innocence and Cresent Girls.

Yesterday, the ten of us & mr rash went to holy innocence for the rehersal.We were all early so everyone went to eat at the prata shop. It was yummy but there wasnt any sugar to go with it >_> ...oh man..

While walking back,Mr rash was taking random shots around the coffee shop and gave the impression that we were tourists, so my dear seniors, tried speaking with an accent and it was preety funny xD

Back in the hall, practice started and i basically forgot almost everything ._. It's getting to sound more and more like a big drum band. Awesome job guys <3 The whole piece is quite long with a few sections and it requires you to take note of how many times you play that section before moving on, so yeah, its confusing.

This Act3 performance thing really IS something different and i really didnt think i would ever have the chance to play in such a event with stilt walking and kite flying all around. It also gives us sec 1s a chance to bond with the other members because they were all busy with the SYF earlier in the year :(

Oh and just to add, Happy teachers day mr rash ^^

Hey people!

5th - 6th June
Drama Camp 2007

!st day
This is surprising to some people as there was never a drama camp b4??
or does it??haha..anyways..
the camp started off with registration, participants had never a chance to choose the groups they were in (: haha, followed by........
Briefing / Envisioning I
each team had to come up with a group flag.. which each group came up marvelously
well done!
The next activity was an exhausting 1 for the teams..
AMAZING RACE!
yay! the game seems simple but it was tiring when each group had to run all over school to find the matching pictures.. i was with the blue team, survivors,
personally, that group was an energetic team,yet at the same time,their eyes are always peeled for the items they were finding..
Good Job guys.

Lunch was delicious,Chicken Rice,thanks Mr Rashidi's MUM... ahaha
Envisioning II was up next, I kinda forgot the topic XP
Puppetry workshop for 17 people?
and board decoration for 3 people??
haha,and i would like to comment on nisa,hajar and team, for their effort to decorate the drama board which is looking fabulously as ever.. GREAT JOB!!
haha..they had their own breaks for 1/2 hour,
followed by field games! WET WET WET!!!
haha..yes it was fun..(:
yet,we were not suppose to play.. :/ naughty naughty..haha
wash up! it was kind of distracting for me :x
Another sumptuous meal for dinner, than reflections,
'What does my Reflection shows?'
im just being random, anyway,
the reflection was led by Mr Rashidi and Nadia N.
(even though she lost her voice,she TRIED to talk)
NIGHT WALK time, i wonder why are the teams so scared about when it was the facilitators were the 1s hiding and going around the school, with only like 1 or 2 partners??
anyways,the scaring part was unplanned,whereby yong lin and nadia n went around scaring them..haha..
We apologise for that.
Supper was oreo.. haha..
thn lights out around 10 pm..
zzzzzzzzzzz
while facilitators and mr rashidi was 'Busy' almost the whole night..
night watch was boring to some yet shocking to another *hint* *hint*
haha.

2nd day
morning call was at 6.30am??
then it was 'supported' by basketball match to make every1 freshen up!
unlike some people who just stayed at school >,>
anyways,breakfast was ok..just eating BREAD and drinking SOYA BEAN
ehem.
and followed by Puppetry II
Lunch, and Puppetry III
we invited our graduating seniors, Shi Yun and Matilda (:
we all had fun didnt we?
Congrats to the best camperS and best groups..

prep for SGH and drama camp

2007-05-30T23:27:00.000+08:00

today was a long day. i think, as many of you are, i am tired. but in a good way cos i think we had our share of fun. or at least i did.
in the morning was rehearsal with the sec 2 lit classes and i really thank them for their effort. a major plus point was having my drama kids (aloy, charmaine and josephine) in it too. so, :). lunch, though a bit quiet for my taste, was good too but the walk was better...*winkwink*.
as you can probably figure out, i was trying hard to keep my energy up during the afternoon session and i thank all those who have put in effort in acting and writing the scripts. i will take a look at them real soon and hopefully work something out by 5 june...
and speaking of 5 june...
....i think all worked out for the best. aloy, zul, nisa, fahmi and our dear extra (we know who...ja...heheh) stayed with me till late to work out the finer details and we did manage to work some things out (latest update: i have got contact for our final dinner so no worries, nisa and fahmi). thanks guys. think clowning around was the only thing that kept us going. and am glad that we are meeting on monday so till then, do work on what we have to do yah.
so, when i am typing all these things, i am happy to note that i have a good bunch of kids with me. yay :)
i cannot promise that i will keep on posting entries but i shall try. melody is the new webmistress so she'll be updating notices every now and then. this is so that our dear nadia c. and aloy can take a teeny weeny rest from calling you guys up.
ok, cheers.
