We tried our best
we tried our best
we tried our best
This was what I'd been chanting to myself for the past weekend.
Screw the judges, why let them bring us down? Why shed those tears for their poor judgement? Perhaps they're just so blind to see the brilliance of our performance.
I just know that WE TRIED OUR BEST, and WE ROCK.
We won't let anyone else bring us down, and we only cry among ourselves. We only cry in the shower where no one hears you.
but, when we are in front of everyone, we stand proud, why?
because we know we put in our best.
We learnt how to cry, we learnt how to laugh, we learnt how to be angry, we came to know how it feels to be on stage, and be free. we got scolded, we got frustrated, we got disappointed.
But thank you cast and crew, for staying together till the very end.
24 April'09 may have been the saddest day of our lives, but it may also be the happiest day. Because we learnt how to thank each other for everything we did together.
thank you everyone who was came down to support us, and believed in us.
and thank you Mr Sng, for encouraging us, scolding us, joking with us, laughing with us, and believing in us. You are the best coach we could ever have.
cheers,
CHELSIALabels: WE ROCK WE ROCK WE ROCK WE ROCK >
once we hit the top, there's no stopping us.
3 Letters
Maybe it was the judges
maybe it was how stupid they were
they didn't care enough to budge
I realized this as i saw those tears (I saw them, that was more heartbreaking than the results)
I guess we expected too much
Well, I thought we did great (awesomely in fact, which is why we expected so much)
You only realize it's reality with one touch
I don't believe it's fate (or even reality, but it was.)
Who knew this could break someone
who knew that 3 letters could wake someone up
We don't want to tell anyone
All we want to do is drown ourselves in a cup (of juice, not alcohol.)
I think what they say means nothing
Of course, to others it may mean something.
Maybe you're scared people will start looking down
at us, with a frown.
They won't, they'll sympathize
They have to know we did our best
Even if they aren't necessarily nice (or even don't sympathize a little)
We'll do our best during the test (May 8th.)
I think we all deserve something better than those 3 letters
I think this isn't worth your tears
I think you ought to calm down 1 second and breathe
I think you ought to cheer up
I think you ought to remember that what we received isn't what's important.
I think you ought to realize that we're one.
I think you ought to remember that time heals everything
But you also ought to remember that friends do too.
And you have those.
So stop crying
So stop fretting
Just smile and realize what you've contributed and helped with
The end product is what matters
Not the results.

SMILE ;] remembering the memories we share.
We got COP. We gave our 100%, put in a lot of effort, too bad the 5 humans couldn't see it. Today we may cry the shit out of our eyes, Tomorrow we may curse the hell out of the judges, But eventually the results isn't going to matter anymore. Like what Mr Sng said, at most next year Mrs Ou Yang wouldn't mention ELDDS. What we want and HAVE ACHEIVED, is a closer bond between each and every drama member, a friendship of a lifetime an experience far more precious than a GWH, and manymanymany happy memories together =D
Mr Sng is THE best coach we can EVER have.
Sec fours are the AWESOMEST SENIORS in Cedar. Sec threes gave me the most WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP. Sec twos and ones are THE SWEETEST & CUTEST juniors. MRS RW & DEBATORS-THE BEST SUPPORTERS who are always there ;D
ELDDS, DESTINED TO
DOMINATE THE STAGE.
-estherrr!

it's alright
it wasnt what we expected. it really wasnt. and it isnt anyone's fault. not the cast, the crew, not mr sng. cause we gave it our all. let everyone say what they want to say, but we say : CEDAR ELDDS IS DESTINED TO DOMINATE THE STAGE. we just havent decided when to do just that, and make everybody's jaw drop. so EL, whatever it is, we are still ELDDS and we'll prove that we CAN do it. we know we didnt deserve what we got, but when life hands you lemons, make use of it. this just shows that we can improve ourselves. if we're good, then we gotta be GREAT. then we'll work on being AWESOME. eventhough, personally, we are already there. its just that no one knows that.
oh god. what have i written.

We WILL STAND TALL
COP
There is nothing in this to be ashamed of. El, you have done your bestest, and I know it, in fact, everyone knows it.
Hold your heads high, because you've done your best. And that is the most important essence of life. To have done our best.
I know, you know we don't deserve this, but who are we to change the mindset of 5 people whom judges us. They are not able to see the hard work that we have put in. They are not able to go through the painful and tiring process of rehearsals and managing school work. They are only, able to judge us from that 20 minutes performance. That, 20 minutes.
Remember all the good times we had, all the stupid drawings on the walls of our sets, getting down and dirty with white pain, all this time sacrificed, all the bond forged with our friends.
Thank you for all the great memories. I love you, EL
I will stand tall, and am proud to say, that CEDAR ELDDS have done their best and fought hard. I am proud to announce to the world that I was part of the SYF team 2009. I am proud to be, your president, of 2008-2009
Love, Michelle Tan
p.s: GIVE YOUR ALL FOR CEDAR LIT UP. We'll show everyone what we deserve, and we will let people whose opinions matter to us( friends, family, teachers etc.) judge for themselves the true standards of ELDDS.

SYF!
Wednesday 1/4/09 , was a blast, and it aint a joke : )
The cast gave in their 100% effort and energy, and it did pay off by the wonderful and smooth flow of the play!
Special mentions: Mother- who totally upped the game on wed with her breakthrough performance Melody-Who thought on her feet and improvised with the lightings Cast- Who gave their all, on that day and every rehearsal! We made it through in one piece : D Crew- Who painstakingly carried the sets up and down the stairs, straining their arm muscles and their physical strength, and had to worry about preventing the sets from breaking Debaters- Who took time off from their lessons to come down to support us in our performance, and enduring countless hours of boredom and waiting. Mr Joseph Tan, Ms Lim- For taking time off their busy schedule to come down and support us Mr Anil- Who readily and unconditionally helped us to fix our severely damaged sets. Mrs RW- For putting on our makeup, allowing us to show off our best to the audience TLDDS - For helping Shanice put on her Sari and lending us your makeup Handbell and MLDDS - For allowing us to use the AS 1 & 2
THANKS!
And
Last but not least
Mr Sng - For never giving up on us, although we seem like we're not improving or putting enough effort for rehearsals For sacrificing time, effort and thought on the SYF play
For giving EL your all
And for all these , we thank you.
No matter what the results are, it doesn't matter much anymore. We've given our best, and that's the most important thing of all: )
Love, Michelle
and may someone kindly upload SYF photos on the blog ! Thanks!
