SEXCO

hello from your sexco! we so pretty

Exco 09/10 – Ian

 

 

 

 

I am very honoured to be given a chance to be in drama exco, though I’m unsure I cannot guaranty Im gonna be a great one  in this period of time but I’ll do my best in my power and with a sincere heart I’ll do my work whole heartedly.

Before the elections of the ACS independent stage, i was still in a dilemma on whether to run. This is because i was already in the school tennis team and the class council which pretty much take quite a lot of my time. At first, i thought that if i join the drama exco it would take up even more of my time. However, through advises and persuading from of my seniors i found out that ACSIS exco is not as demanding as other CCA’s. I also found out that after my tennis seasons is over, I’ll have more time for other activities and so that what makes me join the ACSIS exco.

Oh Goodness! It’s weirdly difficult to write a reader-friendly
reflection while my feeling now is so “out of this world”.

For recent years I’ve been a noob, and perhaps fortunately a nerd, and
now I’m somehow voted into the Exco. To me, this is miraculous. ACSIS
has indeed changed me drastically, and I’m glad and honoured, to
discover how good it feels like to work hard, to contribute to the
community that I sincerely love.

To all nominees who are not chosen for Exco, I do believe none of you
feels disheartened, because the fact that we nominate ourselves
already shows our will and enthusiasm to serve ACSIS, and thus, I
honestly think that the selection process is almost nothing but a
matter of fortune. Definitely, it will not stop anyone of us from
continue to be exemplary members of the club.

Once again, thank you, everyone, for having voted me into Exco. I
promise to work hard and try my best to help the other Exco members,
and the rest of the club to bring ACSIS to greater heights.

The experience is truly overwhelming, and I’m very sorry for any
over-the-top stuffs that I might be writing.

ACSIS rocks!

When I received Yvonne’s message informing me that I had been elected into the ACSIS executive committee, I was crying because I was in the middle of the sad part of a movie. However, the message literally turned my frown… Upside down! I was so excited. And I still am.

All my life I have loved the theatre, as my mother had exposed me to musicals and the like from a young age. I had always been deeply fascinated and wanted to do drama. For this simple reason, I am really grateful and honoured to have been given an opportunity to serve on the ACSIS ex co. I am aware that Year 6 would be quite a challenge with the heavy workload and stress, especially so with the extra responsibility of being on the ex co. But I feel that as long as I enjoy what I am doing, it will motivate me to keep up with both my work and extra curricular responsibilities.

I hope that working with Chester, Pravin, Eileen, Ian, and Phi Anh in the coming year would help me to grow as a person, as I learn from each of them and their multiple different strengths. I am absolutely thrilled to be working with them, and I am sure that being on the ex co would be a fulfilling experience.

Getting into ACSIS exco really is a huge honor, and I would like to thank for everyone who voted for me, and promise to do my best bring the club to greater heights, to the best of my ability.

Having not been in drama before, being a part of ACSIS for the past several months really was an eye-opener, and I’ve learnt oh-so much. I’ve thus far been able to experience acting on stage as well as working as part of the backstage crew, and every moment of my time in ACSIS has been wonderful and amazing.

I decided to run for exco because I really feel that I will be able to contribute to the club, from what I hear is expected from Edward and the other exco members, and from the club charter which was read out to us by the existing exco members on our AGM. I do believe that my enthusiasm and interest for the club and its activities will help in my contributions to this amazing drama club, and this will be something that I will remember forever.

I am looking forwards to being able to give back, as much, if not much much more than what I have taken from the club, and also to working with my fellow ACSIS exco members, Jecolia, Pravin, Ian, Eileen and Phi Anh.

My fellow Exco-rians, we will show them synergy. Who’s with me?

Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who voted for me to be in the drama exco. I really do appreciate your help. It is amazing how time has flown and how much we have been able to accomplish during this short time. Being selected into the exco would translate into having more responsibilities but responsibility comes with passion. I love drama and have always loved it. Drama has helped me in my life to learn many things. I am so thankful that now, I would be able to help people even more and contribute to drama in the best ways possible.

A vital challenge I (and the exco) would encounter is being able to connect to people. It is important to lend a listening ear to people and to be well aware of their suggestions on improvements for the drama club. As a member of the exco, it is crucial to promote social cohesion and foster a sense of unity amongst the members. We must collaborate together and ensure that everything we intend to do must be done on time and it must be done well. As the famous adage goes “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.

Whether exco or not, drama is all about the experiences we gain. When we look back on our lives during our stressful IB years, we are going to reminisce the fond memories of drama and the exco would all the more help make your memories as pleasant as possible. Drama is wonderful and has so many fantastic people such as the Year 5s, Year 6s, current exco and the fantastic teachers. However, I think that without all of the drama members working together as one united drama, none of this would have ever been possible.  

My heartfelt congratulations to Chester, Jecolia, Eileen, Ian and Phi An, I am looking forward to working with you guys:)

I could not believe my ears when Edward called me up to tell me about me being in the EXCO for ACSIS. My first feeling was of shock, and then a wave of excitement, and more shock. It seemed surreal, and unreal. I wanted to try for EXCO but I did not nominate myself as I thought that there were four others who fitted the bill more. However, I am more than happy to be in EXCO and am very excited about the new journey that we will be embarking on. There are so many things that ACSIS can achieve, so many possibilities of what the future of ACSIS can hold and I want to be part of it! I hope for a fulfilling and fun year ahead for all of us EXCO and members of the club:D

Phi Anh’s Reflections

Today’s workshop is indeed a very special session. As the dynamic duo Mr Connor and Mr Quek are away, our EXCO takes over and we the fabulous-all-the-way ACSIS enjoy the games with some extra “liberation”. I don’t think we would ever forget the very last game, which was loaded with ultra-ambiguous lines and supremely suggestive images, if you know what I mean. ACSIS has become a place where we really enjoy ourselves, while at the same time, subconsciously learn valuable lessons about being an actor.

However, the best experience today that must be mentioned is the time we, the Year 5s newbies, spent together drafting out the plans for making Dragon’s Head, the upcoming Drama Camp and the publicity for the FoA piece: “The Thwarting of the Baron Bollygrew”. Amazed always by the talent in acting of my fellow members, I was even more inspired to see their aptitude and creativity in non-acting matters. My group was so engaged in throwing out ideas that we forgot to note them down for the first few minutes of discussion. I was not in the other two groups, but I could see their serious attention and sincere enthusiasm. Even when we are tired, we still enjoy the work because we know we are contributing to the club that we truly love, the club which has apparently become an essential part of our school life.

But how to sustain this atmosphere? The day will soon come when our beloved seniors graduate. I have a strong belief that it would be no less exciting, because we know we still have our brilliant teachers, and De Zhong’s merriness, Pravin’s most entertaining lines, Chester’s hugs and kisses, and the rest of us, the coolest gang in school. Sorry, this part is a bit too emo, but I really feel it.

Yours sincerely,

Nguyen Phi Phi Anh

For those of you who did not get casted, I mean it with all honesty when I say you are all really good actors and I’m sorry the teachers could not fit all 50 of us into speaking roles. I hope you will still be involved in FoA in every way you can.

For those of you who have decided to place IB above Drama, you should be ashamed. Kidding. A bit.
