Pics in Hidden Drawers : Dramafest 2010

Back in 2010, the teachers from the Language Department briefed us about Language Week.

I got into the audition with people who i didn't even know their names

Well I got a place as an actor including some other fellow students who were much more talented

And we were the 2010 representative for Dramafest in Language Week Zone Level 2010 in MRSM Jeli

We busted our bums with the props people, the script, the costumes,choreography and all the other shiz

And to be frank, I flunked 1 exams for Dramafest.

A practice session in the preparation room(class)

    We arrived in MRSM Jeli finding out that it is an MRSM in a middle of the woods, surrounded by hills and forests which are said to house the magnificent Malaysian Tiger or Pak Belang. I mean, we found out there is a signboard which said "Caution, Pak Belang" in the Nature Garden of the MRSM. Ain't that awesome or what?(besides the fact it is totally in PEDALAMAN!)

 We used the preparation room real well, practice and practice folloed by more practice. But we kind of hated the 'assabiah'(Berpuak-puak) attitudes of other MRSMs such as Pengkalan Chepa, Kota Putra, and others. Some of their preparation room got bouncers(diorang ingat KELAB MALAM?) who hold brooms and chase anyone trying to steal a glance(how to intai when they all covered their windows with paper!?). heh nutheads.

A bling-blinged up Wawa(mah twinn Jafarina!)

Witches,Queen,Jasmine,Anya,Jafarina, and the Sound Manager

 Well the pic above was actually moments before our performance started. Everyone was slapped up with thick makeup and our consecutive costumes. Everyone was like Pak Arab n Mak Arab =__='

Tha stage and on the ground is our fallen backdrop..dangg

  I was like shaking when we were on stage. Everyone was nervous although they did give us time to get familiar with the stage the previous day. But still, we were nervous. And to tell you the truth, when it was our turn, our 35 minute drama felt like 5 minutes. And as soon as we knew it, the electric powered curtains(fuyooo) were closed. We knew we did our best, minus the part where Lokman(Aladdin) said "SHIT" on stage. That was hilarious but the judges didn't hear us, and I rolled down from the stage(over dramatic) and everyone was like, FO REAL DUDE!? hohoho Lokman and Zariff kept supporting me to do that stunt to earn extra marks but risking disqualification. LOL

See the similarity?sluurrrpp!

 

Sluurrpppp!

Zariff..uhh..no comment

Make-up Level : Zone

Trust me,Dayah is happy go lucky, not a witch in real life. :)

A surprised Jafar(i still got makeup on me)

Me: Y U LOOK AT ME LIDDAT?
Dayah: Cuz I'm cool LIDDAT!

SHWEET

  Mummy(Actually Teacher Shazlin) brought us to the cafeteria to get refreshments, she told us not to watch other performances as it may ruin our mood. So we got drinks, Lokman got his drug, Teh Ais(he had been craving for teh ais since the bus started rolling out of the confines of the school). But then at least its teh ais and not booze. XD

   

Whole Drama Family!

Told ya were the best :)

All contingents of MRSM Kuantan

As the winners were being announced, Kuantan was the loudest to cheer,
We were like WIILLDDDD
Tepuk Tepuk Kuantan Boleh!
*clap clap* Kuantan *clap clap* Boleh *clap clap* KUANTAN BOLEH
But the fruits of our sacrifice were sweet

We got:

Best Actor

Best Director

Best Drama

      

And at thet point we realized, WERE GOING TO THE NATIONALSS!?

So we busted up our bums again(poor us)

Improving everything

Upgrading everything

Detailing everything

And I flunked another exam for Dramafest(LOL)

     And as we arrived at MRSM KKB, We were armed,ready and dangerous(Terminator much?). The welcoming ceremony was really cool, with 'kompangs' beating out loud, and gongs, and all the red carpet and stuff(terasa mcm VIP datang kenduri kahwin). And the hostel was cool! it had 4 beds and the air circulaion was good till when you left the room in a chilly morning and you return at dusk, the room is still as cool as when we left(NO AIRCONDS!ONLY FANS!). And we had to break open a few lockers to find bed spreads,hangers, pillows and sejadah to pray. Sorry KKB-ians.

      Met O't's friends from KK, wtf they play futsal like damn devils. And Al(Lokman) and me played basketball. I then met a childhood friend of mine. His mom was the reason that my parents are together now. :)

       It was like life at college, did our prayers then sleep till 8.30,got out to get breakfast and on the way got scolded by an idiotic warden. to Al if ure reading this, remember Poji?dang azzhole. XD

       We found a place to do our practice because the management said that they couldn't supply us with a bilik persediaan due to classes being used for Debate and Debate Competition.

We converted the bus parking to a practice area..cool

     The night after our arrival, it was then time to draw turns. And as I was shaking my legs in the urusetia area hoping for a good number, the family waited outside and snapped a few pics and got some munchies to eat(the food stalls here are aplenty and the food is good. Also to our surprise, an A&W van suddenly parked in front of the main building and set up shop, we got hotdogs, fries and all the good fattening stuff)

Meet mah family :)

   Most of our practice time were spent with practice and improvements. But we got bored because of the same script we've been working on since FOREVUHHH! So yeah, confidently, we goofed around (just a bit! Some guilty pleasures are allowed right? hihihihi)

Ot at his best XD

I looked thin, we had a change in sound manager, meet ZAIDI!(purple shirt)

I forgot who bought bubbles but yeah, had fun playin with it

See? Like kids far before puberty

One of the memories I'll keep :')

Mah Big Baby Zaidi

    That night we were lepak lepak-ing. Ami found Maisarah, who was her schoolmate and once a rival in the District Level Science Competition when i was a student in Kajang Highschool

Ami's trademark pose

Lepak-ing in the middle of the night at the Dewan Makan.. It had Wifi 0.0

   Showtime! And masa tu lah we started to get nervous. So we transported the props via Wawa's Mum's Car to the hall up the hill. No way we're gonna carry all the stuff up the Tangga Batu Caves with all our costumes and makeup =.='

Our Best Supporting Actress..Wearing a rented dress 0.0

My makeup was thicker than before 

Also,back with thicker make-up. AMI! Witch Number 1

This ninja wannabe is actually the Sultan. Aiman..LIKE A BOSS

I told Al not to wear any inner, but he insisted sebab malu
And Zaidi as cute as usual :D

Make-up Level : National

I think he's high on too much Nasi Goreng

      The hall was much bigger than MRSM Jeli, and the stage was much bigger! So we had to adapt quickly. We tested our voice, the sound system and stuff. Everything went okay. And thank God, the backdrop didn't fell like before when we were in the Zone Level.

      All the other MRSMs also performed their best. It was really hard to make out the winners because everyone was at the same level. Their weaknesses covered up by their own strengths. Our strength? We had Slow-Mo effect! We had a really REALLY long broom! We had Gold Coins! We had a Magic Mirror! We had an actress who had an acting and voice that could make your hair stand. AND! she turned out to be the Best Supporting Actress, yeah, she's Syaida. A;so we had an actor who never followed the script and always making new jokes, he fits well as the Genie, yeah, he's Ot.

Well total victory wasn't on our side
We got
Best Supporting Actress
Best Runner-Up Drama


     I cried a tear when the bus left KKB for our journey back to Kuantan. I knew it was the end of our happy times together and back into a life of homeworks and assignments. We would all retreat back to our life as MRSM students, making ends meet. I knew we would not be the same again. It was just like very sweet dream, except you know when it started and you know when it ended, and when you wake up, you only remember merely fragments and shards of it. Well, as nostalgic and as sweet as it is, we could move nowhere but ahead in our lives. But I always keep a hope in my heart that our paths will converge again, someday, not today but someday...

To The Best Of Us,The Drama Family
