Jayne made her debut skit performance!
Jayne has a thing for performance – She loves to sing, dance and catwalk in school all the time, so it’s no surprise that her teacher picked her as the main lead for her school’s performance at Woodgrove RC’s SG50 National Day Dinner. When she first brought the script home, I was a little worried that she had to memorize 2 pages of script, but she took less than a day to memorize everything and when I watched the performance last weekend, I realised it was really a very short skit. Haha! Nevertheless, it was a very fun and fulfilling experience for Jayne, and to be able to do so on Singapore’s Jubilee Year of Independence, I think that’s even more meaningful. :)
Jayne’s role was that of a Grandma, who was telling her grandson about how much Singapore has changed over the years. I bet she’s going to be the prettiest Grandma you have ever seen!
She was all dressed up and ready 30 minutes before it was time to leave the house for the school. Imagine how excited she was!
Her head looked a little weird because she was trying not to mess up her bun! We put on layers of hair gel & body powder on her hair, just to make sure everything was secure until the performance itself. =D
When we arrived at the performance venue, I was a little shocked, quite frankly. It was a dinner for 2000+ people! I wondered if Jayne would freak out when she stepped onto the stage and saw so many pairs of eyes staring at her. But I was really worrying for nothing – All the kids were so brave and had no stage fright at all.
Check out Jayne and her little friends. So adorable, I couldn’t help take photographs of them! Look at the coolie (boy on the right) and the samsui woman in the middle – SOOOOOO CUTE!
Jayne’s BFFs in school were acting as hopscotch girl and the narrator. It’s no wonder all of them were chosen for the skit together – They were probably the noisiest group of girls in class everyday! =D
I managed to capture the whole performance from below the stage!
You were awesome, Mei Mei! We are so proud of you. :)
