yes!! gold!! finals!!!
such an exciting experience:) coming to sch at like 7+am.. in costume [and court shoes and having a whole lot of problems walking in that very-fitting long skirt] with make-up and everyth on.. and then the warm-ups.. and also mr hodge coming in to wish us all the best.. and apologising for his not being able to go watch us. then being at vch.. singing on stage.. watching the other choirs..
rather magical:) although somehow i felt [when we started off with impressions] that we were going realli sharp.. but cudn't do anyth.. and thought we were realli nervous and tense and going too fast. dunno. tt was my "impression" haha. but i guess it was alrite.. since according to the pple who went back to get the results, mr toh sed tt the composer liked our impressions:) so tt was fine
mate saule.. hmm.. i thot tt was quite okay too:) and it was really wonderful.. the end part aft we did the sunrise thingy.. the sound realli floated up! so cool!!! aahh!!:) like mr toh sed..
iddem-dem. thot tt was pretty okay too.. mr toh was looking so sorrowful throughout the whole middle section so we'd copy his expression.. i tink it worked.. i'm not so sure.. other than tt during practise i had to work very hard to refrain frm laffing all the time.. cos our singing wasn't intense enuff.. and i thot the last passage was pretty gd!:) the fierce one.. and the "ai!" i thot tt brought down the concert hall haha.
anyhow according to sam for impressions at the end we were a whole tone off.. oops:| so seems like my feeling was correct. hais. so pore val was v demoralised cos she thot we did quite well.. then mr toh sed impressions wasn't our best.. mate saule was alrite.. iddem-dem was gd.. haha. well. i guess it helped tt aft every song he'd smile and mouth gd.. even tho it wasn't particularly true for everyth. ah. watever.
watching the other choirs were interesting.. tho i wud have liked to watch the other gd choirs.. i tink the way nelson kwei conducts is so.. hmm.. showy.. not in a v gd way. but maybe we're all prejudiced. ah well. had fun poking fun at the other conductor.. of the SAJC choir.. hehe:p
so we came back, changed [and i survived 5 hrs in sch w/o socks haha.. forgot to bring.. and dearest lyd who was in class didn't check her phone]. but didn't really matter since i ponned pe:p actually alex sed ms tan told him he cud miss pe. -shrugs-
anyways it was great having lunch at holland v nydc.. tho the way we got there was hilarious.. to "avoid walking up a small hill" [quote rumin] we ended up walking thru a field of knee-length-high grass.. so itchy.. after tt we kept scratching our legs.. and had to cross 2 canals.. haha.. jiahui kept going on abt how it's so "obs"-ish.. and we've become "leaders pioneers and thinkers" hilarious:p
i was sitting there sharing brownie w candice and gloating over the pore pple slogging over physics test back in LT1. haha:p then got back to find that we were actually early for maths tutorial! hilarious:p 5-10 mins late and still earlier than the rest of our class.. oh.. i'm so glad mrs cheong is so nice.. she allowed us to take the physics test tmr.. unlike ms gong [the 3A tcher] who forced aaron and wingyee to do it.. sed it was their responsibility to take it.. bah! pore them
anyways later was sitting in the canteen worrying.. together w candice n alex n christine n tiffany.. then shumin got the news 1st then she came to the canteen and told all of us and we shrieked:p bwaha:) in pure joy! hahaha;) and went around hugging pple n shaking hands. whee~ fun happy day:)
i think choir pple are realli nice! starting to bond pretty well aft syf n everyth.. i guess going thru all the stuff really helped.. but anyhow ms tan sed elections mite be tmr.. tts pretty quick.. but i guess since we're like behind everyone else.. haha..
and i also think the choir tchers are nice!:) yay..
ah. i'd better go mug for tests and do my research for ipw .. groan.. shudn't have been so last min. bah.
