August came and went. August is an important month in the Singapore Calendar of events. It is a month of celebration and remembrance.
For the Speech and Drama classes at DSA, we have also been busy.

As it is a month of Nation Building, we must not forget how our lovely Island got it’s name: SINGAPURA!
It came from a Prince named Sang Nila Utama or in some of our cases, Princess Utamina [artisitc licence 
]
Princess 1 with Royal Sister
Princess 2 is all for peace
The Prince and his bow and arrows
Of course we also celebrated another legend of this tiny island: The Bukit Merah Story
You have seen some of the beautiful pictures of the event held on 24 August at the Esplanade Park as part of the NCSS Carnival. Now lets go behind the scene and see what took place before the final performance itself.
Learning to pay respect during one of the rehearsals
Bowing to the Raja
Such reverence
Learning to use the oars
Learning to fish with the net
The Minister telling the people to work harder
Briefing after the rehearsal
Everyone listening to what Aunty Jean had to say
And then, on the morning of the actual day…
Daniel, the Man who got us breakfast, arranged for the bus, took video...
Putting on make-up
Looking pretty
All dessed and ready to go
The bus journey
The last league
Almost there
The final crossing
Arrived,waiting for our turn
Well, that kind of sum up the month of August for the Speech and Drama classes.
We now move into the last quarter of 2008! So buckle up!
