Time: 8pm

Duration: About one and a half hour

Venue: The Arts House @ Old Parliament House

Synopsis: The Secret Life of Claudia See is about the choices a young teenager is faced with; the impending death of her beloved grandmother from cancer, the separation of her parents. It is a story of a teenager growing up in an age where dysfunctionality has become a byword and a world faced with ecological disasters and dwindling resources. It is about anorexia, phobias, obsessions and the human fear of extinction and death. In her dream world she goes on a quest through the different inner worlds of her friends to find an answer to her question - the question life and death that the impending death of her grandmother poses to her. The play culminates in a moment of truth for the various protagonists.'

SOTA SYF Showcase! (Y)

2011-07-07T18:54:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone! Tomorrow is the SYF showcase @ SOTA! Tomorrow! it is not that far away. Please reflect on what Mrs Tee and Mrs Roy and Mr Wong said just now. To the new people who just joined us, please remember what to do and do it well. Like I know you are new but just do your best and wow the crowd! To the people who have been doing this, lets not get complaison and do our best still. Everyone, i know that tech run today was not as good as we expected it to be. We have no one else to blame but ourselves. And didn't you hear what Mrs Roy said just now? The organizers made an excuse for us! Don't you feel ashamed? I honestly do. We have no one else to blame but ourselves for today's not-so-well-done tech run. I have to admit that I was not focusing and Mrs Tee was right about me being sucky. But lets not dwell on the past shall we? Lets concentrate for tomorrow! Tomorrow is our last chance to prove to ourselves and to everyone who is watching that we are a gold with honours worthy club! I understand that all of you are tired and under school pressure and things like that. I understand that perfectly. I feel that way too. But for tomorrow, for that period of time, lets just suck it up and blow the audiences' mind!!! :D

DRAMA FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Journey.

2011-04-17T22:20:00.003+08:00

2003- Gold; 2005- Gold with Honors; 2007- Silver; 2009- Silver;

2011- Gold with Honors

It is amazing to see how our club had grown, from 40 odd to about 60 members, with really enthusiastic and passionate members! Our SYF journey wasn't a smooth and easy one, and i believe all this is possible because of everyone who had worked and fought hard for it; and most importantly, the tremendous work that our graduated seniors had put in during the past few years- they'd built the club strong!

Like what we've always said, it's the process that really matters- sticking together as team, staying till late nights (and climbing out of school) to complete props and set, working intensively with Mr. Wong, the never-ending lectures and talks with seniors. It all paid off.

Cast, I'm glad that you guys found out what the script really meant to you, conveyed the message well, touched people, and most importantly enjoyed the moment on stage.

Crew, you guys were certainly the people in the team that were most important and made all this possible. It know it wasn't easy with all the scoldings,

but I'm thankful that all of you tried your best and gave all that you could, to this production.

Props, make-up & costumes, i thought that it was important for the actors to look good on stage, and i was worried as we had certain constraints. However, you guys really did a tremendous job, thank you!

Thank you team, for the commitment, enthusiasm, and groundedness to this production and i hope & believe that you guys will keep it up!

Most importantly, thank you Mr. Wong, Mrs. Roy, Mrs. Tee, Ms. Chan, Ms.Yamine, Ms. Chia and Ms. Chionh, for your dedication and passion for the club. Thank you for the support and warmth you've gave us!

Like what i said, it wasn't an easy journey. Criticism and comments, i hope you guys took them well and positively, after all we're all pushing each other to become actors, members, or even better people. I believe we touched many people, whether the script or the amount of sheer hardwork and effort we'd put in, continue to believe in whatever you do, be it on stage or off stage, and continue to impact the audience and people around you.

Sec 4 & 5 seniors (Batch of 2007/2008),

It had been an awesome 4 years with you guys, from 'I wish life was a musical' to SYF 09, Rhapsody and finally SYF 2011. We got to know each other better through these productions and i thank you, for all your contributions and work we'd put in together, and also believing in the juniors in this SYF. I think this really is something we should be proud of, and i hope you do! And i believe the juniors will continue our hardwork and traditions!

This is not the end, but just the start for greater things- SYF Night, a probable SYF Drama showcase and a full length play @ The Arts House. Remember the amount of hardwork you've put in this time, and continue it in any productions you do.

"Do you care? Do you want to convince the judges to care too?"

Continue believing in whatever you do and keep the audience thinking!

we don't stop at mediocre. YOU GUYS CAN BE AMAZING

Signing off (for the last time), see you guys around!

Putting all of this aside, you guys have to remember that syf is not a joking matter,

start taking trainings seriously and take your breathing exercises seriously, or else, how can you project your voice? come back every training with your lines and actions rehearsed(those you have to memorise). also, do not forget what mr wong or the seniors tell you regarding the movements etc.

NOTE :

Why do we work so hard for syf? Im sure we all want gold for syf right?

however, do we just participate in syf just for the gold? So i would like you dramarians out there to leave a comment on why you feel we participate and work so hard for syf :D its just an activity but i hope you guys will participate:) if we do not know why we are working so hard, it might be an obstacle along the way, we might get discouraged etc etc, so, i hope you guys can leave comments so that we know we are working for a purpose, not only for the gold, but to achieve something maybe greater~ :D i'll say why i feel we have to work hard in syf after you guys comment~!:D

Okay I'll keep this short and possibly sweet. Since ROD's (sadly) over, we'd just like to thank the seniors for all the 3 or more years they've been slogging their guts out and putting up with nonsense in the drama club. Weiting may have screamed alot and it might've been kinda annoying to hear it again and again, but but but, it was all to ensure we gave our best shot during all the performances, regardless of whether it was the production last year or SYF etc. Whereas the other seniors just kept encouraging us on and pushing us, and personally I think we've gained lots of experience in terms of teamwork or drama-related thingies.

Not to forget the teachers and Mr Wong. They also lecture us every now and then abt low morale yadda yadda. Some people change, some people just ignore what they've said. At the end of the day sometimes we feel rather demoralised cos we've been scolded but.....again, they don't want the drama club to crumble either.

YAY!

AND REMEMBER TO BRING THE $$ FOR THE NEW DRAMA TEE.

Chuying and Joshua

Hey, for those who turned up for the lunch (18 July 2009), I'm pretty sure you all have truly savoured the moments, right?

Thanks for the lunch, Mrs Tee!

Tzer Bin, you look stunned.

Aiming at who? K-Tyn?

These are the SYF 2009 results of GESS Performing Arts:

Band - Bronze
Indian Dance - Gold
Malay Dance - Silver
Drama - Silver
International Dance - Silver
Choir - Bronze

It's normal to feel disappointed cause we did tremendously already. Use the disappointment to work towards gold in 2011. Perhaps, other schools were more committed and more outstanding. We should learn from their successes and be pleased that it was overall a great bonding and learning experience. Anyway, let's wrap this up and move on with life.

Next, majority of you have already know who's the incoming president and vice president of Drama Club for 2009/2010 as the upper sec students witnessed the Change Of Command (COC). So, work along with them okay.

-Benny-

2009-04-22T18:12:00.009+08:00

ok, i noe everyone is quite sad because we get a silver, when most of us expected a gold..
i heard from mrs tee saying that the sec 2s are rly quite sad abt it..

to sec 2: i noe, this is the 1st SYF u guys participate in..
yea, i noe the feeling..
i joined SYF during sec 1 once entering drama club..
still rmbed painting the props and all these..
was very tough at that time..
still rmbed gwen and i were in charge of the MAGIC door LOL.
we got a silver in the end..
rmbed the seniors are quite sad over it, but moved on..
me too.
but, didnt we make it in the 'musical'?
that will be the best proof, right? :D

to everyone:
dun get too upset over it alright?
in our hearts, we are already a gold, or rather gold with honours right?
it doesn't matter whether we get gold or silver, or a COP, right?
we noe that we did our best, and we cant turn back time and replay again..
life is never a disc player..
nth can go fast forward, rewind or stop.
there's only a button called play.

well, everyone did a very great job.. juz dun get upset alright? :D
its time for the exams.. study hard!

btw, juz some jokes.
when the horse's head face the east, whr will the tail be facing?
ans: not west, but downwards

k i noe its lame, but cheer up everyone!
nt going to post the fairytale joke here..
alot of ppl complained to me saying its too lame.

SYF 2009 Recap

2009-04-12T12:07:00.005+08:00

Dear Drama Club members,

So just like that, SYF is done and dusted. See what I told you about how pain is only temporary? The truth is that actors exist just for that brief glorious or dismal moment onstage, and try as you might, you can never recreate the moment. If you keep that in your heart and mind, and give of your best before and during each and every performance, i think you're going to develop a real passion for the stage and experience magic time and time again.

We need to thank some people formally once again: Mr Wong, for being there and believing in us all; Wei Ting, for insisting and persisting and putting her soul into this enterprise; Benny, Shirley, Ling Yuan, Kah Lok, Joshua and Chu Ying, for styaing back on so many afternoons to get the set done, Joshua and Gwen, for being very very reliable SMs who were summoned at short notice, Gabriel, for conducting sessions with the Sec Ones in the weeks that Mr Wong was getting exasperated by the SYF cast, the SYF cast, for eventually pulling through (I hope you now realise that you are much stronger than you think you are---YAY!), the Sec one girls (hey how come we have no boys this year---it's like Jane and Yuen Fong's batch!) for performing their duties to the best of their ability, Amarish, who seems to have matured overnight, K-Tyn, for always being enthusiastic, Mairah, for awesome acting chops since Day One, Kai Mei for giving of her best even when the going was tough.

If I have not mentioned you by name it is not because you are any less important, but that these guys really showed their mettle and proved their worth. You came for training whether you were cast or crew, and you battled illness and injury because the show had to go on. Bravo! As we have said time and again, ALL of you mattered--it was a team effort, and there are many group moments that stand out in my mind, such as cheering outside CJC after we were praised by some random teacher haha, the awed silence that enveloped us after we felt the magic onstage, the mad dash for snacks and ice-cream during rehearsals, Mr. Wong and Ms Tan telling you off for your lack of commitment....you know, I was very sad to hear that several of you were thinking of quitting. I was sad because I didn't understand why you wanted to leave a fun and exciting group of people. Initially I was angry because I was concerned that you would influence one another to dislike CCA and leave, or gossip to spread bad vibes. I was also angry as I thought that you were giving up too easily.

But then I decided that maybe all you needed was some encouragement and you would be able to find the strength and discipline within you to make the trip worthwhile. And I'm glad that it did happen for most of you. You came alive becuase there for something to fight for, and be responsible for. I hope that commitment brings you through any other difficulties and doubts you might face---your seniors Sheean, Timo, Vivian, Joshua believed in the Club no matter what. If you still feel you need to leave, then I wish you all the best--bring glory to your new CCA. To those who're staying here to fight the good fight, let's been awesome specimens of GESSians--pupils of integrity, ability, resilience and compassion. I am glad to have go9tten the chance to know some of you better, and in the days to come I hope to get to know the Sec ones better too! Seniors---make friends with them! :)

Up next are the Mid-Years, and I want to make it very clear that I do not expect anyone to do badly, because if you study hard from today onwards, you will definitely get decent results. Do not use drama training as an excuse---the most successful pupils excel at both academics and CCAs--because they are disciplined and love what they do. Spend less time gossiping, sparring, LAN-ing and eating and you will find that you have a lot more time to study AND even catch a movie :)

We will meet again in mid-May, and Mr Wong will be keen to impart more theatre wisdom, and we'll go catch plays and visit professional theatre companies for advice on acting as well as technical theatre (lights, sound, set design). We might also have a camp in JUne as well as a BBQ celebration for SYF :) We also are going to have a farewell party for the seniors in July, and seeing how awesome our seniors our, YOU BETTER MAKE A GOOD VIDEO AND PUT UP A GOOD PERFORMANCE AND GIVE THEM NICE MEMORABLE PRESENTS. Honsetly, how can life in the Drama Club be boring, seriously? You jsut have to find your own niche--in life you'll be happy as long as you have something to do, something to hope for, and someone to love.

I will end this long post with some pictures from Thursday. I've checked and there is no judging next Friday (am not sure why they told the teachers next Fri) so let me double check the release of the results with the organisers again before getting back to you. I must tell you now that I think we did very very well, but the truth is that it is up to the judges, so even if we do not get a Gold, please do not think we are lousy, because we were wonderful! Results are not everything, really!

In the meantime, take care, remind Farhanah and Siva about giving us the t-shirt design, encourage one another and Sheralynn, Benny, Joshua and Tzer Bin, please update this place regularly, and allow comments so everyone can leave their thoughts about the entries posted. No Singlish and vague writing please *looks pointedly at Tzer Bin* Write sincerely and properly darlings!

Cheers and love,

Mrs Tee :)

Surprised to see me update? For the sec 1s, what's your feeling about this CCA? Even though you're new and lack of experience, gradually, you'll rise up with lots of opportunities in the future.

SYF is drawing nearer and hopefully, we can achieve our target so that we enable to bring glory to our school. To strive that, we need to be serious and concentrate on what Mr Wong says. Of course, don't fully neglect your studies. Gambatte everyone!

This Sunday (22/2), do catch Groom My School airing on Gan Eng Seng School, 12pm at OKTO channel.

For those who did not turn up for the sec 1 orientation on last Friday, heres your chance to know. There's about 11-12 newcomers joined us. Started with an introduction by Benjamin.

Then, we played some games such as wacko, improvisation, fox and rabbits, murderers and so on with them.

When the sec 1s were watching the video clips, one by one went down for the audition. Heard that they did quite well (:

WELCOME TO DRAMA CLUB, SEC 1s !

Orientation
As we all know, CCA orientation ended just a few days ago and, ours was quite a success! Our short Singapore Idol Parody skit went well and the booth also attracted many people to join drama club! :) The whole drama club worked hard for the orientation and of course, all that hard work paid off. The ex-co also put in alot of effort for this and if it hadn't been for them, the drama club wouldn't have pulled it off so well. We're truly grateful and also would like to thank to our seniors, Timothy, Sheean and Shah for helping and guiding us although they're graduated.
Again, the orientation was a resounding success!
Heehee.

-Chu Ying-

2009-01-08T18:22:00.000+08:00

TO BE CONTINUED...

-Benny-

2008-11-26T20:24:00.032+08:00

Have you guys started to miss the camp already? I believe during this 2 days 1 night camp, you had your fun, right? Although there were some casualties while playing drama games and captain ball, we managed to support and helped one another and it was heartwarming.

Hope you all had a memorable day and have enjoyed the activities especially the 'Amazing Race' which requires teamwork, communication and confident and the 'Night Trail' which test your endurance and bravery. I also knew that for the night trail, the most horrified and dark venue was at CCA block and level 3 boys toilet cause we heard mad screaming. =D Congrats to Shah's group for obtaining the most number of points for the amazing race.

I guess we'll be seeing you on December again. Before I end off, I would like to thank the Ex-Co for your hardwork ever since we had planned for this camp and it's indeed a successful one. On that note, have an ample rest.

-Benny-

I shall post a short review regarding Graduation Day on 26 September 2008 for those who wasn't aware. The theme for this year is 'Nostalgia'. Basically, we had a token of appreciation to the graduating students and of course, our 7 drama club seniors were there. After which, each of their class videos were shown to everyone and some of it were hilarious.

To all the 7 drama club seniors, hope you guys love the mug and have enjoyed the Graduation Day that organised by us (Student Leaders). Also, all the best for 'O' levels and how was the buffet lol?

Time has passed as fast as waterfall ever since our production entitled 'I wish Life was a Musical' on April. Apparently, final term exam is around the corner thus we must buck up and study real hard okay in order to produce good results and get promoted.

Try not to over stress yourself as we merely need to bear with another month! Last but not least, Happy Birthday Rafi!

2008-03-29T00:26:00.001+08:00

Synopsis~

A group of students play a dangerous trick on their teacher with disastrous consequences. We follow their progress through life, work and studies and see them grow into respectable and some not so respectable members of society. However their actions in the past haunts them. Who remembers what exactly happened that fateful night? What consequences did their actions have on their and other people's lives? Will they get away with it? Catch this intriguing blackbox production by the Gan Eng Send School Drama Club in it's investigation into the nature of the Singapore education system and the society it produces.

Do come and support us! Tickets are limited, so what are you waiting for? It's a chance of a lifetime! :D Feel free to ask if you have any enquiries. Tickets will be sold mostly at school. For people outside of school, feel free to contact me and I'll see what we can do. ^^

olla everybody!! time for some updates!!

1) ROD will be held before 2nd week of August so tentative you guys have to plan an item to perform either alone or in groups. if you have any doubts, please feel free to approach me or any of the Sec 3s.

2) We welcome Thomas and Cissy who will be with us as trainers for our arts enrichment course until T4W1. please make them feel at home because we don't really want training to be awkward and such.

3) Our school performance is in a week's time so please focus and perform well! Don't treat this performance lightly because the ENTIRE school is watching for flashes of our good track record based on our achievements during our performance, so we cannot let them down! It is also our responsibility as PROFESSIONAL ACTORS AND ACTRESSES to ensure that we put up a good show for the audience. Remember, an actor on stage is supposed to entertain the crowd, not to bore them to tears or screams of "bulls**t".

yupp, that's all. please remember why you joined this cca in the first place. Rekindle that fire and passion to perform and LET US DO OURSELVES PROUD!!

june hols are over..

hi all. hope you guys had a wonderful june holidays. sorry again for cancelling the june holiday camp last minute.

Training has already resumed. *for those who doesn't know*
every tuesday and thursday, 3pm to 6pm. hope you guys will be interested in the activities planned for you and hope all of you look forward to them. although SYF'07 has ended, the club should still be together. hope all of you will be present for all drama club activities.

there are some things i would like to comment about.
1. the drama club room is really very untidy. i really hope one of you guys will take the initiative to stay back after school to tidy them up. this room is OURS. please treat it like your house. it is really irritating to see you guys throwing things all over the place. appreciate the room. we have a very big room compared to other ccas. so, as a member of drama club, please have the responsibility to keep the room clean. i'm sure you wouldn't want me to start nagging again.

2. i also hope to see a change in you guys, to be more responsible and enthusiastic in the cca. it is quite sad to see people coming for cca because they have to come. i hope to see people coming to this cca because they WANT to come. cause otherwise, why join this cca in the first place? think about it. :)

3. i'm sorry but because of personal problems, i'll be unable to attend any drama club trainings anymore. however, i hope mean while, you guys will listen to the sec3s or 4s *if they're there*. and i hope to see more initiative from the sec 1s and 2s. please. or at least listen and do what they ask you to do. thank you..

hope you guys did well for exams *though it's quite late to mention this* and have fun during drama club trainings. study hard too. :)

the big annonuncement...

2007-05-04T18:27:00.002+08:00

hi,hi,hi.

looks like this is the first post..

okay. some ANNOUNCEMENTS to make..
1) For SYF 2007, we got a SILVER yea. Not everyone is happy with the results, but we move on and we continue to put up a good show, entertain and mesmerise the audience in our plays isn't it?

anyway, it was a good achievement considering our trials and tribulations we went through this year. but we've came out of this stronger and more bonded together. we have learnt much more things than just acting. we learnt that not everything will go our way. with this, we can topple mountains with the flick of a finger in future challenges. right?

and GET A NEW DIRECTOR. a good one who can push us further in terms of acting.

2) just to clear the air, JEREMIAH CHOY IS NO LONGER DOING ANY SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS. this year is the last year he is embarking in a school production. dunno whether he is retiring or not, but we wish him the best of luck and effort in future endeavours.

WE ~HEARTS~ YOU, JEREMIAH!

3) the cast party will be after the exams. will tell you guys the details when time comes nearer.

4) there might be a YEAR-END CAMP this year, according to Ms Camelia . more details will be given when time to come.

5) this june, there will be an ISLAND-WIDE RACE. there'll be food, activities, drama stuff etc. again, more details will be given out at a later time.

6) ROD this year will be on August. so, start planning for your items!!!

that's all the announcements i have at this moment. good luck for your exams and NO FAILURES, ya?

jk,jk,jk,jk.

just do your best and the best grade will come.

well, that's it.
