haha. SYF is over! though i've not joined the choir like most of the J1s, I've put in my effort, learnt the songs in 4 weeks, have not given up. and here we are, gaining ourselves Gold With Honours and invitation to SYF opening ceremony on 25th July @ the Esplanade. haha. i could still remember the scene very clearly, walking to the tuning room with the serenity prayer in my heart all the time, even on stage. well, i totally believe that if it wasn't for the peace and strength from GOd, i would probably have shivered like mad on stage. really just thank GOd, not for the award but the strength and the concentration. it was really the first time after I joined the choir that i wasn't afraid of singing in front of other schools. and i didnt miss any 'chicken's for Bin-nam-ma! haha..
choir for the last three practices hasn't been that fantastic, yesterday was bad. Ms Lim used words like 'sai', 'shit', 'sickening', 'crap', etc. It was so super demoralising. I just felt like giving up, that i dreamt that the Soprano screwed up the whole SYF and couldn't fall asleep again. yeah, but thank God, we made it.
On stage, we just sang like normal, though we went sharp and rushed a bit for Bin-nam-ma. anyway, all the choirs went sharp today! haha. so it's ok. but at least the gan jue was sort of there. not really, but better than any practices, since HC is well known for being si ban. haha. and people tell us that we're the liveliest choir just now. like 'huh?' the teacher went around the hall and asked people what they think about us and they just simply say 'engaging'. haha. guess it's all the actions ba. anyway, don say le. cos the only word that can be used to describe this whole thing is 'undescribable'.
When it was time for the results to be announced, I was like super nervous, cos the scene for 2003 SYF kept coming back. "Anglican High Schools-- a pause-- Silver-- another pause-- sniffing, clapping".. and so here it was, this year's competition results. 'National Junior College'- Gold. I was still telling my fren, if Nj got GWH, we have to scream for them. but yea, i guess it's not their fault. they sang in between 2 GOOD choirs- AC, the choir of the yearS and VJ, one of the most interesting choirs of Mr. NElson Kwei. they sang their best, and they know that it's unlikely that the judges will give 3 GWH in a row. so yeah, well done NJChoir! you all are already a choir with GWH!! continue to JIA YOU! ;) RJ was before us and before they announced the result, i was like Gold or GWH? as in the judges won't give 2 Gold with honours in a row either.
On the way back to school on the bus, we just kept on singing songs- it was so heartwarming! all the hwa chu songs. what can I say except to thank God again? for everything. that thru this whole SYF i really integrated into the choir. and for the strength He gave me to endure everything through. the next aim will be the Myraid concert on 28th May. we shall all work towards the better!! yeah!
now that the whole syf is over, time to focus back on my schoolwork, time to catch up with everything. Jia you jia you jia you!!
