At the end of last year, i quitted my first CCA which was Band. One of the major reasons why i decided to quit was because i just have no more interest in it. I couldn't memorise the notes by heart because i wasn't given time to practice it on my instrument. So i decided to join Drama Club instead, because Syaffana and Shabana told me it is really fun. Furthermore, i had experience emcee-ing several concerts and performing in a play in primary school.
When i first joined Drama Club, i thought that it would be difficult to fit in, since i was not a member last year. Surprisingly though, i felt welcomed because my schoolmates and seniors were so warm and friendly towards me. I also did not find trouble in doing the physical and voice warm-ups because of my stint in primary school. I gained back my confidence of performing and decided to audition for a role in Drama Club's public performance, 'Dragon's Teeth Gate'.
Imagine how elated i was when i got the role! We started the rehearsals and we had training till late at about 6pm three days per week. Although rehearsals ended late, i had fun laughing at jokes, funny incidents and mostly practising with my castmates. Luckily, the performance went on smoothly and was a success.
I really did not regret my decision to change CCAs. Not only have i gained more experience as a stage performer but i also managed to carve a niche area for myself in performing arts. I really hope that Drama Club would go from a Silver Award during last year's SYF to a Gold Award for next year's. In that way, we can do everyone proud.
