mamoru - nychoir |
] |
25th april. choir 126. nychoir. everyone sang. mamoru. como compongo poco, yo toy loco. gold with honours. we did it. nychoir, we did it. i could not sleep yesterday. got into bed at 10, but only slept around 11 plus. then, i woke up at 4 plus. before i fell back asleep and woke up at 5 plus. yesterday i was feeling really nervous. really. choir takes up most of my life actually. i was scared. very scared. before we went on stage, waiting outside, i felt really nervous, and my hand started to sweat. i never knew we could do it - so well. now, i love the number 126. we worked very hard for this day. very very hard. from fukurouno-onengai (owl's glasses suite) to mamoru, and como compongo. it was a tough journey. we fell down hard, and for very long, the morale was very low. most of us almost gave up. but thank god we did not. if not we would not be where we are today. and we would not be nychoir. nychoir is never so easily defeated. this period of time, when we hit rock bottom, i felt really stressed. when alto ones were the worst, i tried very hard to pull them back up - i ended up crying. feeling that i am very hopeless. this is one of the few times i cried for choir. i felt very hopeless. i felt i was not a good chorister, i felt i was not a good senior. we did climb back up, and that period was better. then we hit the bottom again, this time even lower. this time, soprano ones were the people taking in all the scoldings. yingting, gloria, janice. i felt hopeless as well, i felt i was not a good friend. i did not know what to do for them at all. we had many scoldings, we hit bottom many times, but we climbed back up. we fought back. that is what nychoir should be. seven months of training, just for minutes on stage, for three songs, sung by one choir of eighty people, conducted by one conductor, accompanied by one pianist. nychoir, we finished this race with excellent results. we enjoyed performing on stage, and we got the gold with honours. nychoir, thank you for not giving up. thank you for running this race with me. and most importantly, thanks for being nychoir. i love you! miss lim, thank you for being with us all this while. thanks for helping us find back our feeling when we lost it. thanks for being our conductor. i love you! miss tan, thank you for taking your time to come down and practice with us. thanks for being our pianist. mr mackintosh and mrs lee, thanks for supporting us all the way. thanks for staying with us! mrs teo, thanks for coming in and talk to us. thanks for trying to increase our morale. thanks for you utmost support. seniors, kaixuan, kimberly, lilin, suet yi, huiying, cherie, krystal, maria, thanks for coming down to watch us perform. thanks for supporting us. thanks for having faith in us. we did not let you down. i love you! nanyang, 405, amanda, lesley, shuting, tian, melt, clare etc, thanks for supporting us! i love you all! we once took the gold with honours so seriously, that we forgot all the musicality, and only focused on the technicality. thanks to miss lim, who assured us that gold with honours is not everything. we changed our goal, from getting the award, to singing our best and enjoying ourselves on stage. two very special people i want to dedicate this to: yingting.
i read your letter again and again. all i can say that i am very touched. thanks for being there for me when i am down as well. we restored faith together, didn't we? i would not have done it without your help either. as i have said, i would have collapsed, if not for your support. my love for you as friend is so much, that i cannot describe. we had fun, we had sadness together. we did it today. i would not have done it without your support. i remembered when we finish performing, and both of us hugged, suddenly we just start crying. though we were not sure why, but i know deep inside our hearts, we know the reason. our last syf with nychoir, and probably with each other. it would not be the same without you either. i love you lots. gloria.
i read your letter many times as well. you were there for me too, when i was down. i still remembered when i cried over alto ones, you and yingting, both of you, stayed back at school to comfort me. thanks. i would have collapsed, if you were not there as well. the three of us had so much fun. going out together, having the same tuition. i am sad when you are sad, and happy when you are happy. yes, the paper you gave me reminded me of two years ago, our first syf together. i really treasured that moment. this is our last syf with nychoir, and like yingting, probably our last syf together. however, i still hope i can perform on syf with you again. i love you lots. congratulations to all choirs, especially to those who got gold with honours. congratulations to hwa chong vocal ensemble. it's your first time joining syf and you got a gold. good job. congratulations to nanyang..
from the start of the first day of the syf period:
NYCO - gwh
theatre - bronze
NYCB - gold (but to us, it is a gwh)
NYCD - gwh
NYSE - gwh
chinese drama - silver
NY Guzheng - gwh
NYCHOIR - gwh modern dance is getting their results tomorrow. i with them all the best. i want to relive the moment again. the time we were on stage. where we enjoyed ourselves with the song. even though we went sharp, we went sharp as one whole choir. even though we rushed, we rushed as one whole choir. i want to relive this moment again. the time when we got the results. "choir 126. nanyang girls' high school choir. gold. with honours." the whole group of us practically screamed with happiness. the pause after gold. i thought we were just going to get a gold. but. the two words that followed. really touched my heart. i want to relive this moment as well. i cried after the performance. i cried when i got the results. not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness. this is nychoir. nychoir. eighty people singing three songs together with one conductor. one heart, one goal, one voice. nychoir forever. -it's not just the words, it's the music- [sing out loud, for it's your passion] -nychoir syf end-

i know it's already so late in the night and everyone's probably sleeping. but i don't know why, there is this lonely feeling overwhelming me. i am starting to feel depressed and i just want to cry out. the problem is, there is no reason why i should be depressed, and i have no tears at all.
school is building stress on me. i will not deny, but choir does contribute a bit to the stress. as much as i love choir, as much as i love to sing, i want choir to be good. it's all i hope for. then comes the workload, and all the tests. i'm starting to think that i will have trouble in coping with my schoolwork, but i will still try. i will. i'm not the kind of person to give up so easily.
i am looking forward to june holidays. i realised how fast time can pass. tests starts this week and ends on week seven. after that three more weeks and it will be the holidays. that is how fast it can be. tests ends before you know it, and the holidays start before you know it. i hope the holidays can help me rest after a tiring first semester. that's all i ask for.

Kungala - Choir THREE |
] |
Finally, there is time for me to blog.
Well, I really enjoyed the time spent with choir three in the last four days, especially yesterday. The people in choir three are so nice and funky! :) It was definitely one of the best performances I ever had, with so many different choristers from different schools.
The choristers from piedmont choir were really nice too. It's a pity nanyang was not involved in the immersion programme. It would be so much fun.
I feel strange having to go back to school now, since I have become quite used to not going to school for the whole day. And of course, I really missed choir three. I met so many people this choral festival. People from fairfield, tkss, tkgs, scgs, rgs, rv, sac, cedar girls, anglican, dunman high, st. nics, and not forgetting our wonderful conductor, Mr Toh.
Last night was fantastic. We did so well in Kungala, and although we kind of screwed up in magic flute, I was still very happy. I Can Recall Spain was wonderful and yes! Tsubasa O Kudasai! It was wonderfully fabulous. Since, choral fest is so fun, I shall forget all about the unhappy stuff and people like *ahem*. This shall be kept in the happy category in my brain. Haha.
Well, choir three people, thanks for all the fun you have given me. I will never forget it and keep in touch! Three cheers for Mr Toh! Hip Hip Hooray!
Three cheers for choir three! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!
LOVE YA! :))
KUNGALA . OVERTURE TO DIE ZAUBERFLOTE . I CAN RECALL SPAIN . TSUBASA O KUDASAI
Love Choir THREE forever.

went to cafe wadever today with ying, zhiying and yanhui. we did a really big 'banner' and pasted it on the board.. haha... covered quite a bit of space.. haha.. the whole cafe was like belonging to us, other than the owners, cos we were the only one there.. haha..
well, what can i say about sabbaticals anyway?
FUN.. (not really)

what can someone do if she has a lot of work but doesnt feel like doing it? she can only do her work. it's kind of her duty to finish all her work. we dont even get a choice.. no.. we have.. either we do our work, or we get scolded. then our grades will plunge all the way down.. wow..
