i have officially lost track of time. i found out today that next week is the last week of school, before the intensive mugging begins again. GAH. totally hate it, but that's life. i am still quite shocked that it's week 9 now. i seriously thought we were still in week 7 >< omg.

anyway, that's not why i blogged. i decided it's finally time for me to stop procrastinating and blog about concert!

ohwell. all i can say is, CONCERT REALLY ROCKED. actually it's like my 1st year doing so many songs at one go. in the good old RG days we always do (at most) 6 songs? then there's busking/sectional item and medley after that. so technically it's not very vocally challenging (in a sense lah). then last year we only did like 6 combined songs. and we performed in LT 1 zz. so it didn't seem like a concert at all? and plus the fact that i really don't like the songs we did last year. i really hated dziedot (whatever its spelling is) and i still hate it! don't ask me why. ahwell k i shall stop being biased. then this year i somehow love all the songs that we do! seriously, other than warm up, i really really REALLY love the repetoire. college anthem included! LOL. and singing at esplanade just makes everything x100000000 better. AAAAAAHHH okay enough of all these. which songs made it to recording? someone tell me please, if you know :D

well all i can say is, i am really glad i ended my 5 year (SUET I SAID 5 YEARS :D) choral experience with a bang :) raffles chorale was a mixture of bittersweet, but ultimately deep down i know i still love chorale to bits and pieces and i really really love everyone in chorale. k actually don't need to go deep down in my heart. it's a well-known fact that i love chorale! YAY!!!! altos especially! yay i have been an alto ALL MY LIFE please. today is like my first monday free after so long. it felt weird seeing the basses and altos and tenors having sectionals while i went off to support netball. it's like, they are all so busy with chorale and i am in a league of my own :( ahwell. i told altos i will join them for sectionals next monday, but i forgot next monday is a public holiday :( GAH. so sian lah.

okay back to main topic. i am really really glad for chorale lah. sometimes i think it is quite sad when some people don't like their CCAs. like seriously, other than boring school and academics, CCA is an outlet for you to enjoy/relax/do something you really love. although i keep complaining about pracs, i actually love them a lot. (although i hate the process of getting out of bed at 6am on sats especially!!! but it's okay. once i reach sch i get excited about chorale again) yeah. aaaahhhhhh. omg. i love my batch!!! i love my altos!!! (sorry to others whom i have left out; i love you all too, just that i didn't get to get close to you all :( )

BATCH 08: all my loves!!!! i am really really glad to have you all by my side. everytime i am sick of life etc i walk into chorale and there's all of you to cheer me up. i think ours is the only CCA where the girls are more vulgar than the guys? really lah, the guys all have DAMN GOOD personality. julian! i really really think you have a super good temper. everytime we will just make fun of you and you are still fine with it? (although you know we are joking duh!) k the rest of the guys also. just that i really must give special mention to julian cos i think sometimes we ill treat him too much! hahahahaha. and the girls! aaaaahhhhhh I LOVE ALL OF YOU! need i say more :) :) :) 

ALTOS 08: omg i love you all too! although i admit i have been neglecting my alto 2 J1s (sorry!!!). we know we rock! yay you all must keep the power of HWOAH k. i will come and visit you all again! and my darling alto 1s, yay we have gone a long way! from like erm 3 people in the beginning of the year (cat me vivien), we managed to expand until we have 6! (+ clara, victoria, isaaaaa) although we always get the in between half-sopline-half-altoline parts, yay we did it in the end during concert! 

aiyah sian. there's so many poeple in chorale that i miss. then like last time i will always get to see them on wed and sat. or whenever i go to the booth. but now i hardly see so many people around! esp the J1s, since J2s i can still find them at the table :) :(

TOUR GROUP! good luck for your trip x 1000000000! rest assured i will come and send you off! unless you all assemble at like 1 plus am... then cannot lah :( but you will won't right! it's evening right! :D :D :D 

aiyah i think my biggest regret this year is not being able to do o magnum  for concert. and that we never take a FULL CHORALE PIC :( ohwell. and i don't regret not going for the trip, but all i can say is life would have been much better if i can just totally ignore academics and go for trip :( k lah and my nodules problem also (luckily it kinda healed before concert; so okay no complaints) OHWELL. nowadays whenever i read chorale people's blogs on how much they love lux etc i get this feeling of... emptiness inside. like okay when minsi sent me the song i also think it's damn nice but i just don't love it the same way as they do cos i am simply... not part of it :( ohwell. it's okay i am really fine with it. just a random thought! :)

THOSE WHO WANT PICS! please ask from me online :) 

OH YES. and a bigggggg thank you to all those who went to support on concert night! although it's a weekday and there's school the next day. i was really super touched lah. 

okay, and that's a chapter closed in my life. sigh. i doubt i will ever join choir again in university because i am not keen to sing in an adult choir. and the feeling will be different anyway. yup. this entry turned out to be a lot happier than i thought it would be, but it's a good thing! at least it makes me smile :) :) when i read my blog again erm 10 years down the road i still want to feel the same warm and fuzzy kinda feeling that i am feeling now!

sian. and now it's back to reality. i am totally lagging behind my work. SIAN. TV's my weakness nowadays. i am too lazy to proof read my entry so i am just going to post it hahaha.

[edit] CHORALE BATCH OF 08 WE BETTER STILL HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS AFTER GRADUATION! (thank you kialiang for reminding me heehee) seriously i want to read this blog entry 10 years later and think something like: omg yeah i had a smashing concert in 2008 and now it's 2018 and i am meeting my batch for lunch later! (or sth along those lines) everyone must make the effort k. which reminds me. i am really, really glad for all my memories <3 [/edited]
