Dear 5Us,

I know that we all know that we have tried our best, put on the best performance, did the best props, have the best actresses, lead by the best director, had the best script ever, and...millions of other bests. No matter what other people say and what they think, we know we have won and that's the most important thing.

We have rehearsed twice as much, twice as hard, sacrificed leisure time, homework, study and tuitions because we wanted to do our ultimate best for our last high school drama. We have gone through much exhaustion and tears but we are still here...stuck to one another...and I'm confident enough to say this,

WE ARE STILL IN ONE PIECE !!!

I'm proud of all of us so..lets all NOT be emo queens and rampas the title from wendi. Our remaining school days need us to stay UP and not down. Kay? ^^


love

gift of friendship

drama finals ended today. we didn't make it as champions but we managed to fight our way to the end and got 2nd instead. nobody understands how badly we want this except for us. nobody knows how we feel exactly except for us. but i'm not here to say anymore of these things. whatever happened there happened and it's done. i just want the whole of 5U to understand that we've already won. i mean come on, we're the only team that worked extra hard. we worked the most, we changed the most things, we improved the most and the most important thing of all is that we did everything TOGETHER as a class, as a team. yes, all our effort feels like it went down the drain. feels like we've been slapped in the face but then again that's life. you're never always up. to look on the bright side, we can still hope that our story will be chosen for inter-school. even if nothing of ours is chosen, deep down we all know we did our best and we did it together and we had LOADS of fun and we're good enough. it's just that maybe luck wasn't on our side and so we didn't make it as champions today. we're still champions in each other's hearts and that's all that matters. this year will be a tough year ahead with spm and everything else but then don't give up. don't let one thing destroy the rest. think about everything in this way, you've all worked so hard for so long, why give up now? don't. have faith, be strong and go on. fight till the very end. even if you don't win in the end, so what? you know you did your best and that is all that matters. most of all, you know you have one another and lastly, we may have lost in this drama competition but we won one thing i'm sure is much more valuable, friendship. do you guys realize how important everyone is to one another now? do you realize how we now stick together? we cry together, we eat together. we know each other so well and winning all competitions is nothing compared to the gift of friendship and togetherness. we were strangers to each other last year, now? if you ask me, i don't think i could have made it through all the tough times i had in my life without you guys.
