The Young and the Restless - choral speaking script

I found my old choral speaking script when I was searching for something else and I was overwhelmed with fond memories of the time when I was in the school's choral speaking team. I loved every minute of my time on the team :)

The author for this script is a plump Malay lady with a great smile and is as bubbly as how the script was written :) There was another script, but then I lost that one... it is rather sad, now that I think of it. I only can recall the funny part where we had to do a Mexican wave while calling out 'Tiiiiimmmmmbbbbbbeeeerrrr!'. Maybe it's something related to saving the environment. Hmm....

Anyway, since we've already used this script for our competition, so I thought, 'why not let other people enjoy the brilliance behind the script?' :) Enjoy!

P/S: Although I like the previous (and lost) script better, I only found this... so, yeah, that's it I guess :)
