i'll rmb this dae foreva. for 4 yrs, e whole choir.. e teachers and e students wanted this day. i'll write wad happened e whole dae here. in case i eva forget, i can li8ke read back u noe. alright.. yest night we were suppose 2 sleep early, so aft e grp chat wit e other online members i went 2 sleep. hahas. it was realli difficult man.. having 2 like sleep at 930?! and i realli cant get 2 sleep. i felt like e next dae is gonna b like so impt.. like im getting married or sumhing [well, it IS an important dae now =)] so i sang e 3 syf songs.. trying 2 imagine how i would perform wit e whole choir on stage 2dae. haha.. den i fell asleep. but i din realli haf a gr8 sleep la, cuz i keep waking up at almost eery hour juz cuz i tot i would oversleep. haha, and e funny thing is tt each time i wake up my fone has a msg from a fren who wished mi gd luck. so i was like sleeping n msging at intervals. finally got up at 415 liddat, turns out i din need e wake up call from miss soh! well, she did call at 4.45 liddat lar. so dress n went 2 sch.
by like 615 we started practising our pieces and doing e warm ups. in fact, i felt tt e costume din look so wushu-ish aft all. we look rather alright lar. =) den we sing n sing n sing until like 7 plus. den i grabbed a sandwiched and boarded e bus. oh yea.. mrs ou yang talked 2 mi. hahas. she asked if i'll smile wen singing. den i was like yes? [DUH] aiyah.. juz sum small talk lar. den we boarded e bus right, mr oh came 2 gif us encouragements. he was saying tt compared 2 e beginning of e yr and a few daes ago wen he heard us, we improved realli realli alot! =D so nice of him. AND wen he knew tt ms lye said tt if we get honours gold, ms lye and darius will cut botak, mr oh saed tt he will cut botak if we get GOLD. haha.. [he shld haf watched his words =p ] den on e wae we sang all kinds of songs we learn b4.. out of tune we also juz sing. kinda fun =) though mrs loke n darius were laughing like crazy lar.
den go until there muz register. e choir b4 us look alrite. but VERY cliche. like e usual gown and ribbons? hahas. and e other few choirs aft us also. except this choir tt looked like itz juz a big grp of office ladies. but i personally like e last choir we saw, their skirt v nice. like walls ice cream liddat. den they stand on stage look v cool.
well, we had this 10 mins [realli timed] practice in a tuning room. haha. tt guy actualli v fierce looking one, i guess he's juz bored of having 2 do this many times over n over again la. but he like lighten up aft ms lye n us joked wit him.. hahas. surprsing hor, like 10 mins b4 syf we're joking there =\ e practice was very gd actualli. we sounded v nice and rounded. and i rmb clearly tt 2 yrs ago e practice was e tuning rm was utter shit. and we wasted so much time also. this yr we realli made gd use of e time!
tt 10 mins was realli short. den it was like.. TA DA.. performance time.
we had sum time outside while waiting for e previous choir 2 finish. so we gave each otehr hugs and tips n things liddat. i was like damm scare. haha. and i wanted 2 hug from ms lye. brian helped mi ask for one. u noe, wen she hugged mi gd luck i realli like wanna cry liaox. time flies.. itz already e last time im gonna like publicly perform wit e choir? thank god i din cry there. if not will haf 2 sing wit tear stained cheeks. we did our stretching n everything. and seriouly we were stil like juz relaxed n chit chatting, e enxt choir came, they were like plastered in make up and all of them look e same 2 me. and they look equalli fierce. like wan fight wit us liddat. hahas. but ms lye forbade us 2 talk.. if not we would difinitely b making fun of em.
walking up 2 e tier was scary. but i tried 2 b as confident as possible, and yet walking quietly, den i got e shock of my life, cuz xinyi fell.. haha. n she tripped over her own shoes -.-' seriously we were kinda piss at her aft e performance la. den we started lor.
i'll nva ever forget how gd it felt 2 b singing there. it feels so glam! e pride of singing there wit e choir was totalli overwhelming man. itz like i can feel tt everybody is REALLY focused at looking at ms lye, and we were smiling [most of us ] and swaying n moving 2 e music. and suddenly we were all tgt. i juz felt so proud 2 b standing there 2 b part of e choir. i think it was also e audience tt matter. sumhow deep inside i felt tt performing tehre was easier den in sch, cuz e ppl and e judges dun noe wad standard we are, cuz wen we sing in front of e sch sumhw they'll juz think tt we're a bronze choir. well, we kinda almost rushed during e dancing song n dahil.. but it was definitely betta den yesterdaes practice la. we rmbed 2 keep slow. i think we went sharp at dahil.. but it was onli a little and e whole choir did it tgt so it was pretty alrite. AND i sang my last dahil part correctly!!!! hahaha.. i like so happy lor. i almost like wan 2 scream when i sang it correctly, cuz i kept getting it wrong. and e dancing song, e last stamp of e feet was like WOW, cuz it was e last piece right, den we stamp, like u whole tier e metal sound all can hear.. and e echo is like fantanstic man. ms lye is indeed brilliant 2 think of e stamping part.. =)
aft tt we sat tehre n watched otehr choirs. i feel really good. and i could like picked out how bad e choirs were.. sum were la. they were totalli not round at all. sum had a part tt went out of pitch like so obviously. and e wrose was e gurl who covered her face wen she made a mistake. tt was like.. gonna ruin e whole thing? for once, we could leave e stage feeling confident of our performance. i rmb 2 yrs ago, wen we came offstage we were like.. gone lar. cuz e performacne was so bad.
den we went back 2 sch. haha.. ms soh help us chase e few guys out of e comp lab 4 and she was like blocking e window wit her bag wen we all changed. omg.. u shld haf seen e lab. it was like in uteer mess, clothes n shoes and everything everywehre. and we juz changed like nobody's bizz. i guess ttz wad makes a choir eh? hahas. i pity e guys though.. alwaes kena bullied by us. haha.
aft tt we ate tgt.. and we were like singing tehre cuz we dun wanna get back 2 class. lol. and we even planned of different lame ways 2 meet 2 noe e results tgt. in e end we decided 2 wait for aft sch, den all of us meet in e fountain tehre 2 noe e result.
den i went 4 classs. den during matsh right. henry msg mi at 1245 2 sae tt we din get cop. den like suddenly everything around mi was like spinning. i was like desperate 2 noe e results. so i msged him 2 juz meet at e fountain n let us noe e result la. den he din reply mi! and like 1 min later i msged him again. b4 i could send e msg an announcement from mrs tan i think could b hear. she was like saying, attention sch, our choir got GOLD. tt very instant i was like screaming my head off and cuz i was sitting at shuyu's chair and jo was at my seat.. i like moved 2 her seat n hug her and like scream and cry non stop. she was like stil shocked there with her mouth open. for a moment i tot i heard wrongly siahz! i dunno la.. i juz cried and cried and cried. aft 2 yrs aft we got bronze.. sumhow we were like looked down by e sch? and we had 2 like work so hard. all e memories of training with ms lye.. all e times wen all of us were like so tired and busy but we had 2 go for choir. all e memories rushed back.
times wen ms lye first came and she was so strict cuz previously mrs kwan was like slacking like siao? den she alwaes scold us tt we called her a bi*ch. times wen we tot of all e excuses 2 pon choir cuz we dun wanna go n sing those songs again n again. times wen we were so out of tune tt we can like b sharped by 1 octave. times wen we talked non stop tt ms lye had 2 scream. times wen we're practising so hard for e musical epoch'2002 and we kept singing w/o a round sound. times wen we had 2 like read EVERY word in e score wit those funny rounded tone. times wen we stayed late 2 practise ssinging. times wen we had 2 learn 2 walk in our shoes >.< all those memories. those happy. sad. tiring. angry. fed up moments.but now.. we're realli grateful 2 ms lye, for like changing us a totally sucky choir to a choir now. but i muz sae e choir's attitude realli changed too. for once there was a sense of urgency since monday. and we saw e full choir for once. and ppl learnt 2 not talk so much n listen more. and im so glad 2 see tt many actualli woke up early 2dae 2 warm up at home. =]
