yep.. and a few of us had dis dialogue session wiz him...
& i tot it was totally cool...
very interesting session...
i mean lyk, he was totally casual and friendly...
jus really cool.. nth lyk wat i expected..
it was far frm formal and everything.. i was quite surprised ya noe..
cuz i tot it was gonna be quite serious and solemn..
apparently, it was de direct opposite...
humourous, light-hearted and jus plain casual...
i almost cldn't believe he's a minister... seriously..
i tink we didn't even have to prepare in de fist place..lol
& i must say...
wateva he said and told us got me thinking...
and it was really motivating and inspiring...
really really cool...
my favourite word: PASSION
haha...

lol...

CONGRATS!!!! to all CO members!!!!!

kaes.. gtgn..
wish me luck for 2.4 & de qns thingy...
nites :)

in dilemma..

OBS? CHOIR PRAC? OBS? CHOIR PRAC? OBS? CHOIR PRAC?

man... this is tough..
i'm down for OBS and not sure if i wanna go...
i mean lyk..
i've always tot OBS was cool & i noe its gd experience..
c'mon.. kayaking, flying fox, forest trail, pitching tents..etc..
scary... but probably once in a life time...

de thing is, choir concert is on 30th June..
and OBS happens to fall on de last week of choir be4 de concert..
wat a "great timing"...
yes.. i'm being really sarcastic..

i mean lyk...
as choir members, we noe wat last week of prac is lyk..
mad rush hour, getting really emo, crying lyk water is free,
depressed over frustrating "not up to standard" prac... etc..
overall, its called de tough times...
its also a once in a life time kinda thing rite?...
its aft all these stuff...
tat you'll feel an extreme sense of achievement aft a successful concert rite?
cuz you've gone through de worst times 4 this...
i'm jus really afraid i'm not gonna feel de same "YAY!"
as others aft de concert cuz i missed out on one of de most impt part of prac...

on the other hand, OBS looks gd on portfolios or testimonials..
or wateva u call those stuff...
& its def. great exposure...
but theres still choir..
not sure if i'll regret missing de last week of most crucial pracs...

i've cosulted mr toh & mr tan...
they both said tat if i wanna go, its alright...
by all means, go... they'll not hold me back..
de prob is, i dun even noe if i wanna go...
i've been weighing de pros and cons for WEEKS

HOW?... WAT SHLD I DO?
my medical checkup is 2morow....
AHHHHHHHHHH...................
shld i fail it on purpose?... or not?...

HEEEELLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew!! wat a day...
yes!! we've once again done ourselves proud...
GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!! woots!! yeahman!!!!! oolala!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*screams* *screams* *screams*
GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha... man, i'm ecstatic...
did i spell correctly?... i dunno.. who cares?
haha....
dis is gonna be a super long post...
and i'm gonna start frm de very beginning of de day:)

so... yes, we got to skip de whole day of sch..(woots!!)
did our make-up & hair.... which was rather painful..
lols..
when mr toh came in @ arnd 11am, we felt comforted...
cuz he said we sounded good... he said we were ready...
yep... & there were seniors & juniors who pon sch 2 support us @ VCH...
& there were seniors who sms 2 wish us all de best & stuff...
yeah... was really touched by all tat...
ya noe, its lyk.. though they've graduated, they still came back..
and wish us all de best, support us all de way and stuff....
yeah...

actually, when we were @ VCH, i personally felt zero nervousness...
seriously.. though a little scared... but i wasn't nervous..
maybe it was mr toh or mr tan's words tat actually managed to calm me down...
i dunno... but mr toh's words did stay in my head...
stuff like.." focus on me"... & " enjoy de process of music making"
" de music is ours... let de music speak 4 itself"...
" look @ me...i'll take away all ur anxiety"
haha....
it was when we lined up outside de hall, waiting to go in tat de anxiety started to kick in...
it was really lyk... i dunno.. i suddenly feel butterflies in my stomach..
as if i couldn't breathe or sth... i swear i was trembling & shaking lyk mad...
but i tried really hard to stay calm...
yeah... i took in lotsa deep breath, "jia you-ing" ppl to keep calm...
haha...

i was actually quite happy wiz myself cuz i did everything mr toh said...
i was pretty surprised tat i felt minimal or maybe near zero anxiety on stage...
i jus smiled and focused...
all tat was on my mind was "give it ur best shot.. we're here to show wat we've got"
yeah... and i admit tat 2day was de best i've ever sung..
personally i mean... cuz i was really into de song...
and really trying to express de emotions and stuff...
some of de ppl frm first row said tat mr toh was @ de brink of tears during Ave Maria..
i wasn't wearing glasses so i can't really see his eyes tat clearly...
haha... i was so happy!!!! i personally cld feel goosebumps....
i tink some of them did too..lol

rite.. aft de performance & all...
mr toh said tat he was happy cuz he cld feel de emotions we were trying to express..
& he enjoyed conducting us...
but he said tat we were not technically there...
yeah.. we were sharp and off @ certain parts...
so he told us not to keep our hopes up...
we shld be happy wiz a gold...
but he was proud of us anyway...

ya noe, when he said that, half my spirit was killed...
i mean like.. we all noe tat we'll not be contented wiz a gold...
i noe tat de award isn't de most important... but still...
it'll mean our standard had dropped or sth rite?...
so i was having mixed feelings aft tat...
i was feeling happy tat we managed to deliver de emotions of de song..
but wasn't too happy aft wat mr toh said...so yeah..
i decided not to think abt de awards until de results are out...

yes... aft many hrs, its finally time 4 de most exciting part...
de RESULTS!!!!!
haha.. i managed to grab a seat..lol
anyways, we waited VERY VERY LONG 4 de results to be out..
yeah..& we all agree tat de M.C.'s english suck..
haha...
be4 us, we heard quite a no. of choirs getting golds..
& some gold wiz honours...
so i was thinking... i'm gonna be quite surprise if we get GWH...
esp. when there were alr quite a no. of golds & GWH being given out...
actually, i was kinda like.. " i think we're so dead..."
and it goes sth lyk dis...
"choir no.21..." & we're like... its coming!!!!
"choir no.22..." oh man... *panting like hell*
"choir no.23..." ok...*pants even more*
"choir no.24..." we're like at de edge of our seats...
"choir no.25, Anglican High School.... Gold..."
stupid M.C. paused for 3 sec... & we're like..
omg... are u serious?..we're really getting gold?..
i was like omg.. gold?.. oh no.. its fated..
& all those tots runnin through our minds within de 3 sec pause..
it was dead silence cuz none of us cheered... at all...
aft 3 sec, " With Honours!!!!!!" & then..
omg.. omg.. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
*screams* *screams* *screams*
"jumps" "jumps" "jumps"
all de way until choir no. 28...haha
i tink i was one of de first to cry...
i was like.. omg..omg..
*SCREEEEAAAMMMSSSSSSSS*
& de next thing i new.. i was crying...
LIKE HELL....
yeah.. & everyone was cursing de M.C. like mad... for de 3 sec..
haha

when we went out, we continued screaming, hugging, more crying...
and i cldn't stop crying.. i dunno why...lol
i was laughing, screaming, hugging and crying at de same time...
haha.. didn't noe how i managed to do tat...
i seriously lost control... my eyeliner smudged my whole eye..
& i tink i looked like a panda...lol.. but i cldn't stop!!!!!!
i was so overwhelmed wiz emotions..
& accor. to mr lee, mr toh cried...
he really did...& left some evidence on mr lee's sleeve..lol
there was some "drama" lyk zhengsheng being thrown into de fountain...
cornelius got "tau pok"...
& we formed a circle arnd mr toh and sang "ubi caritas"...
haha... it was so cool...
i really wished i cld relive tat moment...
it was so so cool....

so aft all tat craziness & crying, i felt comforted & really proud of choir..
but i felt sth i've never felt for a long time...
i felt BLESSED & VERY GRATEFUL..
becuz we can achieve wat we did 2day was not all de member's effort..
i mean, we all contributed alot...
but it wldn't have been possible without mr toh...
i'm really grateful tat we actually have mr toh as our conductor...
cuz it is becuz of him being a perfectionist...
him being a real pro..
and his "chiong all de way" attitude...
and his strong will to bring us to greater heights tat we are where we are...
i dunno why.. but aft calming down & stuff...
and replaying 2day's event.. it jus kinda struck me..
like.. :"wow.. yeah... we're really blessed wiz a great conductor"
so i really really wanna thank him 4 everything...
i'm sure de choir wld too...
so,
THANK YOU, MR TOH!!!!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

and also,
THANK YOU, MR TAN!!!!
yeah... for all de motivation and stuff...
for pulling us back when we're "floating somewhere"
& constantly reminding us of our purpose, passion & stuff..

yeah....
ok.. i think i'm very overwhelmed by emotions..
i'm so gonna miss choir...
i dun like de exam break...
its gonna feel so weird not going 4 prac 4 such a long time...
i think i'm not in de mood to study at all..
oh no.. i'm in deep shit.. MYE is coming...
SO GONNA MISS CHOIR....
anyways,

GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!!!!!!

"NO REGRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

i could really almost touch them!!!
its a pity i can't scream and sing out loud in de cinema..
cuz i really want to!!!
but i'll probably be chased out or sth...
lol...
i was literally screaming like mad in me...haha..
i tink very minimal sound came out... but yes, i was super excited...
i sang along throughout de movie... yes i did..
but really really really softly...
i dun tink anyone could hear me...
except yanyou.. she heard abit of sound comin frm me...
lol... but it was ok..cuz there was another girl behind me who was singing even louder..
haha...
but seriously, if i was allowed to jump arnd and sing my heart out..
i would have been even crazier...
but i tink i was alr very crazy...
u can confirm wiz yanyou abt tat...haha..
she was like, "ok.. stop smiling like tat.. u look retarded"..
haha... but aft de movie, she did admit tat de songs were nice..
see?... Jonas Brothers just ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i think i said "Nick is so cute!!!" quite alot of times..
haha... yanyou was like giving me de "weird look"..
anyways, i really LOVE de movie XD...
but if only i could scream and sing like crazy.... hmmm..
haha...

haha...

anyways, NAPFA was kinda screwed..
chinese test was half-screwed...
e-lit test... well, i dun really noe wat i was doing half de time...
all i knew was, i was writing an essay and it has to be at least 3/4 of a page...
and no more than 2 pages...haha..
i tink e-math was fine...
i guess its de only test tat i feel relatively confident of...
full-dress was fine, nth fantastic...
in fact, i feel tat we lack emotions and feelings in all our songs...
nth lyk tuesday... hmm...
we still gotta keep on progressing...
de magic has yet to happen...
