most importantly it was a GwH performance for us.
i'm happy to say that Fairfield Methodist Choir has obtained at SYF 2009,
GOLD! gold gold gold! :)
though there were screams for three seconds and tears later,
but everyone had fun, we gave it our all, sung our best, and everyone's really proud of us.
I'm just really happy we maintained our standard, and though we didn't get GwH,
but like the teachers, mrs lim, P & VP said,
its our best, we moved and touched people.
we made people cry(probably tear la) cos of our 3rd song,
and our volume didn't go down much.
i believe all these should be the things we've to be happy and proud of!
its my first and last SYF ever, but i totally enjoyed the experience and i'm glad my first and last SYF was a good one, though we could have gotten better.
the whole award thing is just a namesake, as long as deep inside we know we did want it, we showed it, we sung out, we gave everything and left it all up to God,
gold is really something we should totally be proud of!
:D
so don't be upset anymore, whoever it is!
anyway, we all kinda suspect something, but shan't talk about it.
alot of stuff could have affected our grade, but oh well!
its a GOLD.
and i was so worried we would drop standard!
but we made everyone proud, i know we did. :)
well, enough of the whole results thing.
shall talk about today in detail!
so, met deborah and joel woon & joel lim at school, and went fusionopolis.
ate toast for breakfast, and got starbucks (JAVA CHIP!) for all of us, then went back to school.
and ALOT of people drank my drink, like, more than 5?
hahhaa, heard a few stuff about parade today.
i'm glad i got to 'pon' school today though!
well,
sopranos got together for awhile to run through some things,
got short 'briefing' by mrs lim and teachers,
then went up PA2 to put our stuff, warm up, rehearse, split for combined sectionals, etc.
lunch later, then rushed to indoor sports hall to change and do makeup.
and whoa, RYMD had like the whole toilet to ourselves?
went down for phototaking, and it was hell fun!
most of the girls did the arabic thingy with our gowns,
but the guys behind kept pushing and i totally hit my leg!
hurt abit but the pain went away after awhile.
went back up to PA1, went through all 3 songs with mr yong,
and that's when we were hyper, thanks to phototaking!
sung our bestest bestest most energetic the first time we entered the room,
but slowly died down.
left school at like 320+?
reached hell fast.
stood around for pretty long, then went to the holding room.
whoa, damn nice, but oh well.
then waited outside the hall for hell long, and then the sec fours started doing stupid facial things,
pretty cool though!
and then, suddenly, we had to go in.
hell nervous and kept shivering and shaking during the entire time,
and cantemus was sharp, according to seniors and mr yong.
hana was the best though, heard some seniors teared or cried, whichever.
which made me feel really happy, cos we did our magical thing and all.
wasn't lost, thankfully. :)
but well,
went for break,
and waited super long for results!
congrats to everyone who are happy about their results and all.
dunman got Gwh, the ONLY choir today.
guess its the limit thing or whatever.
well,
went to change and all after results,
met the guys and everyone else at fullerton hotel,
and went mad taking pictures of the beautiful sunset and all.
and us girls walked, then threw our bags down (read: allison, faith, belda, celeste, michelle, deborah, rebecca, yeewei, me) and took BEAUTIFUL shots with the sunset behind us.
totally beautiful, its hell amazing.
hope deborah posts the picture up soon, total ownage.
all you can see is dark figures in mid air and the orange sky behind.
:D
walked really long to central with the guys: joels, jeremy, lincoln, joshua, eugene, ian, shaun (should be that's all) and ate at yoshinoya and bought milk tea which i drained 1/2 even before ordering food?
and something really horrible suddenly happened.
i was totally preoccupied that i didn't realise, neither did anyone,
but anyway, please cheer up and pray about it alright!
we're worried for you!
well, after dinner, went out to like the river there and went high and started crapping around in public.
very embarrassing, but no one cared.
laughed like crazy, like on drugs or something.
people stared but we didn't care.
well, finally settled down after a long while, then everyone except me, deborah and ian left.
then we three went to grab a drink, and got an awesome view of clarke quay.
really beautiful.
(at night is really the best time to go out man!)
MRT-ed home and was like the first to get home?!
my family went to dempsey (without me, sadly) to celebrate my sister's graduation.
sad i missed her convocation today.
well, sorry for burning your eyes.
if i did, well, hahhaa, sorry.
alright, i better sleep!
my neck is getting very stiff, can't stand it.
goodnight everyone.
and i know i'm not in any 'position' to say this but anyway,
CHOIR,
i'm VERY VERY proud of everyone who put in effort and time to make sure we got what we wanted or whatever.
whether you're really happy or disappointed, don't be cos we've done great.
i feel a teeny bit disappointed we didn't have the extra 2 words added onto our award,
but its really God's grace we obtained what we did earlier on.
hope everyone has a heart for choir and continue singing your best,
cos time flies super fast.
:)
i seriously love the choir alot.
