Make-up? Check!
Costume? Check!
Hair Extension? It hurts but CHECK!
The E-Beths are ready to hit that stage! We were third to perform in the CAE Playfest which was a disadvantage because people might be too sleepy to watch us. It did not overpower us. We stayed positive. When St. Catherine was done, all I could think was "Oh my God! Oh my God!". I felt like going to the toilet! I calmed myself by dancing (LOL!). Dancing like swaying from side to side. Once I was in the stage, there was still fear but I just told myself to just enjoy every moment and cherish it. So I did! What felt like 10 years, our play ended. I felt proud of myself and my section. What surprised us all was when they announced the winners when we just arrived at the front door of the St. Anne's Hall and some of us we were just getting out of the backstage. It was so quick! It hurt us all because it was like they did not even count us in. It devastated us all. We told ourselves that we should do better in our CAF Play.
It was the day the E-Beths were waiting for, the day of our CAF Play. We tried to not go back to the classroom because it was said to be "bad luck". Before we left the classroom, we made sure everything is ready. We helped each other in bringing the props. It was 1:00 in the afternoon and again, we were tensed, more tensed than the CAE play because we want to try our best to rise up from our downfall. Everything seemed to be in good shape. I mean EVERYTHING. Every time the audience reacts, we were happy because it was one of the criteria: Audience Impact. Our goal was to make the audience cry and it happened! Thank God! In the end, we won as the BEST PLAY for the second year!!! Tears of joy ran down my cheeks. It felt good winning at least one play.
I did not win as an individual but the group awards were much more important (for me) than the individual awards because it shows the group's unity.
WIN TOGETHER, LEARN TOGETHER. E-BETH FOREVER! =D
