Manglish, It's everywhere...

"Like germs in the air,
plaguing us like a disease!"


A part of my choral speaking text. Anyway, after the serious choral speaking radiant bang last Wednesday (my school's English Day) that resulted in many compliments - I am not joking about it - now we are bound to memorize a NEW text, but I didn't mean the WHOLE new one...

Mrs. Shamala and Mrs. Gurdip with a few of us were thinking about the new tenses we had to add because our performance hardly reach 7 minutes! It was only 6 minutes and 49 seconds whilst the minimum time is 8 minutes.

"We have to add a lot! Otherwise, you wanna be disqualified. They will deduct one mark every three seconds (deficit)," was what Mrs. Gurdip's comment when I asked her about it.

SO, instead of 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... in the starting, we had to add 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... in the beginning of our lines and few others. I just hope that all of us will be familiarized with this new piece of work within 4 days times. As the competition is 5 more days and counting...

TICK! TOCK! TICK! TOCK!

PS: Chorus team, I believe you can because I believe there can be miracle!
