We reached school at about 7.45am to get ready our props and rehearse a few rounds before setting off to ACS Primary where the competition was held. Miss Liana who is one of the teachers in charge, signaled us to get into the bus which will ferry us to ACS.
The school was very grand and has many buildings. The girls and I went to a quiet place where we could settle down and get ready for the performance. All of us had to make up and the girls commented that I looked like a Barbie doll- I had blusher, mascara, eyeliner and shiny lip gloss on, wow!
We entered the theatre at about 11am to perform in front of the audience. There were many schools taking part in the competition - primary and secondary schools and even polytechnics too. Our performance was about "Around the World in 8 Minutes". I was the behind-the-scene person, which meant I did not need to come out to perform, but was in charge of all the props and also to provide backup music. Everything went smoothly, without any glitches, which was what I had expected after everyone had put in their best effort. We had been practising very hard for the past few weeks!
We do not know the results of the competition yet because we left before the other performances ended. Today had certainly been a very good day. I hope to take part in this again next year.
