__30th July 2009__ I heard from Mr Siva that all went well for the performance. You have done an excellent job! Let's keep our fingers crossed and wait for the results.

Thank you Mdm Teo. By the way, I just need to tell you that Mr Siva was telling us about his iPhone 3GS, and repeatedly said "this is the best phone in the world" and "this is de phone, I tell you". We really enjoyed ourselves. I'm sure Mr Siva had fun introducing his iPhone 3GS to us.

Mr Siva said something which made us laugh. He asked us to spell "Silk", then asked us what cows drink. We responded "milk" because our mindsets are fixed. "milk" seems to rhyme with "silk", but how can cows drink "milk"? ~Alex

__29th July 2009__ Thanks Alex, for the encouragement to your team mates. I'm sorry to let you all know that I will be on MC for the next 2 days. Mr Siva will be accompanying you to Mountbatten CC. Please meet him at the IBC at 1pm. Please take care of yourself, drink lots of water and have plenty of rest. Bring your thermometer along. I know you all can do it. Give it your all and I shall wait for the good news. Mdm Teo

We have completed our full dress rehearsal for today and Mr Siva (a third party) commented that we are excellent. Believe in yourself and do your best in the real performance (semi-finals) tomorrow!!!

Alex - I'm so happy for us!!! I feel so proud and that our efforts are not wasted!!! (I have read the message, of course) Why is Tuesday and Wednesday from 3pm to 5pm??????? (I've made a change to Tues timng. The reason is because I have to train the national day colours party from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Tues and 1pm to 3pm on Wed. Alex & Hari, you are one of the prefects for the colours party. Alex, I think you need to re-schedule your tuition on Tues) Hari - Cheri - Shannon - I have read the message Javier - Shivanand - I have read the message too. Can I come at 4.30pm or must I leave my higher mother tounge class at 3.30pm???? (Shivanand, you can come at 4pm)

We can now record our skit and submit in DVD format. Submission date: 16 and 17 July 2009 1pm to 3pm (strictly no extension) Judging will be done by the same panel of judges.
 * 1) Video Judging (we have chosen this so that we have the chance to rehearse the skit multiple times before selecting one best one.)

2) Live Judging** A new schedule will be emailed to us by 13 July 2009. The qualifying rounds will fall on 16, 17, 21 & 22 July. Location: Mountbatten Community Club We are required to take the temperature of all members (including teacher/s) before departing from school. In the event that any members are found to have a fever, the whole team would need to withdraw from the qualifying round.
 * We can still perform live to the panel of judges.

Please let me know which option you prefer as I need to reply to the organisers by this Wed. **

__3 July 2009__ 1) I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but my competition on Thursday is in the morning, not the afternoon. So I am free for Thursday afternoon, if you want to change the day of either the Wednesday or Friday rehearsal. ~Cheri

__2 July 2009__ 1) Another meeting held today! Successful meeting, though Cheri was absent today. 2) Mdm Teo announced that there will be another meeting tomorrow, after ISO, until 3.30 latest, if you can stay, if not you can stay until 3.00 and leave. 3) Cheri, (message) we set the positionings on the stage today, and where each person must come in from. I (Alex) will update the Whole Script page on this. Please print out the newly updated one. Everyone should have one copy of the whole script. 4) Upload any music pieces that you need to upload. As for me (Alex), I can't upload it yet without my father's help. I have to wait for him. 5) Please get the props ready. 6) After the music pieces are uploaded, Mdm Teo (hopefully tomorrow) will inspect it, checking if it is appropriate. And she will make it into a CD.

__30 June 2009__ 1) Congratulations everyone! We have successfully made the backdrop today. I came home earlier and it was almost finished so I think it's already done! If it's not, I know there's very little left to complete!

Our progress today: 1) Taped the corrugated boards together, reinforced it, making sure it could fold. (by everyone) 2) Devised a plan to make the windows. How do we change from day to night? (by Hari) 3) Used a penknife to cut through one corrugated board forming a window shape. (by Mdm Teo) 4) Made a border around the window. (by Javier, Cheri, Shannon) 5) Pasted sheets of A4 paper together to form a homely bedroom table. (by Shivanand [?]) 6) Drew the scene for day and night (by Hari, Shannon and Alex) 7) Pasted day and night (by Cheri, Shannon and Hari [?]) (Actually we finished pasting the day and night after you three left) ~Cheri

__29 June 2009__ 1) **Scene 3** has been changed (Dr Z's line, highlighted). Please check it again to confirm your lines. The change has also been made on the **Whole Script**

__19 June 2009__ 1) Changes that were said by Mdm Teo have been made by Alex. Check pages Scene 3 and Scene 4 to give your comments, if there are any parts which you are not satisfied with. 2) We are scheduled to perform on 13 July @2pm at Mountbatten CC Performance Centre. I will arrange for a mini-van to fetch us there. Consent forms will be given to your parents nearer the date of performance. I hope you have memorised and practised your parts at home! Mdm Teo
