Havent been blogging for 3 days or more already... Gosh, how I mistreat my loyal, faithful blog readers... heh heh..
Ok, let me relate to ya abt choir... VE, in this case.. Mr. Yong is back! Finally! *throws flowers, poppers and confettis!*.. So we sang the
Fisherman's song and was basically quite screwed up... Shi En did his
ah~ part real well, seriously... Oh ya, and during warm-ups, Mr. Yong praised me for doing the correct stuff... The
'Li~ Li~' thing cos i think i used the correct lick for that consonant.. Haha, he was like, "Only khee xuan gets what I am saying.." even though the lick made the 'li' sounded like 'lay' but must control to make it sound 'lee'-ish...
VE is definitely much much much more fun when Mr. Yong is arnd, cos its like more disciplined and all... And fun in the case where the songs are fun to learn and sing.... And after the session, when I consulted Mr. Yong abt the using of half voice, the voice between my falsetto and normal voice range, he said that i still cannot use it yet cos my voice is not fully broken yet.. Kewlness...
Oh, and finally something to boost my ego again, when Mr. Yong introduced a grand finale line for our Joy to The World song, he asked us to sing a very high note that every tenor voices (which is us) have to use falsetto to reach that note, except (you guessed it) yours truly... =O *gasps*... Sorry if I am bein real arrogant, but even jeffrey also didnt believe that i could do it with my natural voice until I proved it to him.. haha, he was quite taken aback... but sigh, i can't adapt anymore if my voice continues to break... *prays hard*
Yupz, enough of my arrogance and egocentricity... VE had its CIP thingy yesterday at lakeside primary school last nite... Quite fun actually... So it began when I met up with jianyi and jeffrey at lakeside MRT stn at 2.00 in the noon and we had cup noodles for lunch, sitting at the sides and eating like a vagrant.. then the other people started pouring in and after having 13 people, we were set to go.. that was when until pin yan came, in his casual clothes and all... and there was this slope thingy that all of us were sitting on and pin yan was playing on the slope itself.. fearful that he might slide off, i held onto pinyan's hand and suddenly he was like pulling me down the slope and i immediately pulled jeffrey's shirt sleeve and he immediately crossed his leg over mine to prevent me frm slipping down.. so there i was, suspending by the 2 of them on the dirty slope cos pin yan in turn pulled my hand so tightly when he himself was already on the ground.. so finally, jeffrey let go and i slid down the slope and landed on the drain, with my pants black and dirty.. sigh, this guy is really and reincarnation from a monkey i tellya.... :S
so we went to that primary school and went for sound check which was, like always, damn terrible until we decided to scrape off munaeru valiba and decided to sing di tanjung katong instead... so at abt 5.00, after our screwed up mike sound check, we went back to our allocated classrm and practiced... den two people in orange tees came and wanted to hear us sing.. then we were like rejecting profusely and the girl said she was frm HCJC choir and wanted to help us cos she heard frm others tt our sound check sucked...
so frm 5-7, we were busy learning joy to the world and di tanjung katong and all.. she's real friendly seriously, and she looks friendly too.. haha, very fun 'teacher'...her name is felina btw, and there's another HCJC guy originally frm RI, who taught us abt the posture and all during the perf....
so we progressed alot and sang much better, with a better poise and confidence hidden within our smiles and all.. haha, this experience also sort of made the VE closer in some point, or at least i changed my perspecitve of jonathan kee, our sec 3 senior and student conductor of that event, cos he's becoming more open and friendly to us and all, unlike last time, when we thot that he was very arrogant.. haha... and i just found out that he was in the same class as teng en in p6! haha... dint noe that..
so we played lots of fun games during the wait for other perfs to finish.. er.. we played ding dong, some hand clapping uno game and polar bear... damn fun, except darrell and bingqian is like sooo slow... hahah laffed until no breath and i just kept choking and laff and laff... haha.. oh so it was perf time, and after wishing each other good luck, we screwed up again, not bcos we sang badly, but bcos of the acoustics of the hall and the mikes were not strategically placed so we cant be heard at all, sadly.... but nevertheless, we haf 10hrs of CIP! yay....
oh ya, and daniel came back frm korea i tink today, and jy came back frm aussie on thurs/fri.. yahoo! and i saw samuel (yup, the sec 4 saxa boi, voted as the sec 4 with the hottest ass by the beloved SL of all, terence ohay) at the coffeeshop where my family had lunch today... how coincidental.. but lyk always, we arent close enuff to say hi to each other.... haha... ok, no more to blog abt le.. my life is
that boring...
