INTERTWINED ILLUSIONS
OMG WE GOT IN.
i swear, i dunno if i was more nervous before performing or while waiting for the results.
Never in my life have i felt so much in one night :)
Firstly, it started off with our dear Best Actress, the awesome one and only LIN ZI QI!!!!
We thought she would be late for the full dress rehearsal and were kind of panicking haha
but she really made it on time so that was like a huge relief.

Then, i had trouble (again) putting on my contacts.
Somehow the one in my left eye keeps folding and yesterday my eyes were very dry :P
and until now my eye still kinda hurts :P
Then when i FINALLY put it on, my vision was quite blur... maybe i got my degree wrong (AGAIN)
So i was panicking abit :P
So sorry to Mavis and everyone who were looking for me while i was in the toilet putting on my contacts :P

Makeup was so funny!!!!
Huilin gave me green eyebrowns haha and i still think i looked like a ghost :P
I think it was because of the silver glitter...

Ok, so while we had so much time waiting, i got a major case of NERVOUS,
esp while waiting backstage, just before the performance...
i tried to calm myself down, but everytime i thought about the performance, i would have a mini panic attack, like a sudden pang in my heart and i will go all fidgety and well, panicky...

Finally, the time for our big show came, and i just could not sit still backstage :P
it was just so nerve wrecking, thinking that this was our one and only chance to do the class proud in DramaFest, in front of audiences and judges....
AHHHH!!!!!!!

Siewrong had so much expression in her first monolougue!!!
i was thinking, wow, siewrong! great job!
Then Sijia was so calm during the performance, even when the audience laughed abit when her suspenders fell off during our first monolougue, she still did the monolouge really well :)
Claudia really looked like a guy! :) even my dad said so haha :P
i also could tell that Amy, Yunni and Yingtze were also putting in everything they had, especially freeze frame, when i watched them from backstage during the scene where claudia and siewrong were having their couple conversation :)
And Ziqi was the best. :)
Although i didnt really see her, i could hear her so clearly while i was lying on the floor, and for a while, i completely forgot about the audience and was just listening to her monolouges... I'm serious!! :)
Everyone was just fantastic ♥
Especially Denise and VC and everyone else who have worked so hard and have been there for each other anytime, anywhere, for anything - Backstage crew, publicity team, fund raising team - everyone was awesome ♥

When Ziqi was saying her final lines and curtain call finally came, all i wanted to do was just run offstage and start jumping about!!
It felt SO good. :)
It felt even better when we finished PSLE! :D
Really, at that moment, i didn't really care if we got into encore night or not, because we all did our best and i could feel it.
We were all just hugging and jumping for joy and basically making an ass out of ourselves :)
If you watched our performance, you probably would have a hard time imagining those scary girls onstage going all gaga and giggly and high backstage, making a fool out of themselves :) haha :D
But it's true, i just couldn't stop smiling :D

After that we entered the circle seats upstairs and watched our montage :)
We agreed to just cheer for the first photo and enjoy the rest in silence.. :P
Then the guest judge came up and said a few words (alot la...)
She mentioned stuff about how it was kinda funny (weird) that young girls like us would choose to do so many horror/sad stories and that maybe we could do stuff that are closer to the heart. Then she mentioned stuff like personal preferences and etc that i felt was NOT in favour of our class and i could feel my heart sinking...

Finally, the BIG MOMENT came. Time to announce the three classes moving on to Encore night.
First, 204 - Grey Happiness.
Ok, feelings still manageable, we still had 2/3 chance, though i was already so nervous...

Second, 202 - Shattered
Major panic. we only had one last chance left! It was US or nothing. I swear i was squeezing Denise and Vivian's hands so tight i think i could have burst them... There was just so much tension in the air and i could feel my heart pounding slowly but so clearly, which made me even MORE nervous and just so scared. Could we get through? Lastly,.............

20.........................8 - Intertwined Illusions.

OH. MY. GOSH.
OH MY OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We practically just started jumping and hugging like mad and screaming and laughing and smiling and
OH MY GOSH!!!!
We did it!!!!!!
i was covering my mouth and like just jumping, i mean, i didn't believe it, WE WERE THROUGH!!!
I think that it was because we were announced last that made us to nervous.. i mean, it was our last chance, all or nothing. And we got it. We finally got it!!
I think it was also the fact that we were announced last that made the feeling even more incredible, it's hard to describe, but it's just like magic, just like in a typical Disney movie where they go for competitions and and are the last to be announced IN :)
The feeling was just so awesome and incredible, just thinking about it makes me so happy :)

Following that, she also announced the two best actresses.
The first one was the 205 girl who acted as the boy in blue shirt, Chee cheong fan i think..
Sorry i didnt catch her name... :(
Next was our very own Mad Woman, for her incredibly natural and just jaw-droppingly awesome performance. After all her hard work, Ziqi really deserved it :)

There were also other awards, such as Best Production, which went to 204 i think..
Surprisingly, we also got Best Ensemble... but the weird thing is, i don't remember us even HAVING an ensemble...
VC then told me it was the part where we circled the spotlight in the beginning. OH. THAT'S an ensemble? I had no idea haha :P
Then came the audience choice award.
To be completely honest, i thought that 205 - Cheeter would get it... i mean it was super funny and if i were i audience, i would have chosen them... i even shouted 205 so loudly when they were asking us who did we think would get it.

But it turned out to be us...
I was so stunned i didnt even clap.
Honestly, i didnt expect it at all and to be truthful, i wanted 205 to get it because they deserved it and i liked it alot because of its awesome humour :)
But it was us...

Oh well...
So the 7 classes on Encore Night are:
206 - Idol Obsession
213 - Shika
211 - Burning Pomeloes
203 - Boy/Girl = 1
204 - Grey Happiness
