Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging competition

Wow, time flies(at approx. 1,000,000,000 miles per second). Only a few more practices stand between now and SYF.

Actually right now I'm not really concerned about getting into SYF, because if I'm not one of the best, then I don't wish to pull down the standard of others who deserve it. I'll just have to focus on improving my tone, the way I sing and my songs, then all improvements shall be heard during combines.

I still remember SYF 2007 in Griffiths Primary School Guitar Ensemble. We got silver and we were quite happy. Too bad, we cannot afford a silver in Anglican High School. We have to continue our seniors legacy of Gold With Honours. We have to do justice to the hard work they put in, do justice to ourselves, and of course most importantly, do justice to the Anglican High School Choir.

Please Grant me the strength to overcome these hectic times and allow the choir to power through smoothly.

Weekdays

I figured that I would tell you about my weekdays (Applies to all weekdays)

Mondays
I don't really like Mondays as the laziness from Sunday hasn't died off. I reach home late because of choir, but that is not a bad thing. Actually I look forward to choir.

Tuesdays
One of my favourite days of the five days as I reach home at like 2.00pm so I have more free time.

Wednesdays
One of the two longest days in the five days. I sort of like Wednesdays because there is P.E , Maths , Science and History.

Thursday
The second of the two longest days in the five days. Quite a boring day. 1.5 hours of Chinese and 1.5 hours of Home Economics.

Friday
One of the fun-est days in the five days. There is History, Music, Maths, Science, ACC. After that there is choir. Mr Toh comes on Fridays and Saturdays. After that when I reach home I can play.

haha.

My Ambition

Today, my teacher gave the class a worksheet to do. I was supposed to write about my own ambition, but I had no idea of what it was. I've thought of many things in the past.Being a Soldier, Soccer Player,or even a Computer Game Designer. However, I feel that I do not fit into these occupations even if I like them. This is so frustrating. Maybe I'll just make up stuff and write it on the worksheet.Sigh. When I was much younger, it was much easier to think of an ambition. Maybe I think too much.

I'm sorry, give me some time

I've lost my bearings, I've derailed from the right track, please give me some time to get back on the right track. I don't know how long I'll take, but still, I hope to get back up on my feet.

I don't think I'm ready, leave me alone for some time. I'll try to get back to the right track again.

I'm so sorry.

SYF Choir Auditions...............................Round 2?

Hi again.
I haven't really posted for quite some time. It’s not because I'm busy or anything, but I just don't know what to write about. Thank SYF for reviving my blog. Mr Toh said that there would be yet another round of auditions.

Well, this could mean two things:
1. A chance to do better than before.
2. Screwing up my opportunity to get into SYF.

Of course I want the first option, I mean who wouldn't? Well whether I get into SYF or not, It all depends on the audition.

Oh well, I guess I'd better get over and done with. I'll just give it my all and pray for the best.

SYF Choir Auditions

Today was the auditions for all tenors and basses for SYF and everyone was pretty nervous. Before Mr Toh came, we had one and a half hours to practice our parts, warm up our voices and etc. The previous day, my SLs( Jesse and Emmaus)

said that the acoustics in the music room was very bad, they told us to practice in an open field. This was the best we could come up with.

Yep. This is the open space outside the home-econs room. We were split into groups of three, and we all did quite well, with the exception of Jin Yi, who was busy plucking flowers. Then today, when Mr Toh came, he decided to audition the SLs first, and they all did quite well. After a few more people got auditioned, it was my turn. I was with Zhen Sheng(T1) and Jin Yi(T2). We sang the first page of our Chinese song and sacred piece. We did fine. Then, Mr Toh decided to make us do solos and Zhen Sheng started first. He did well, accurate pitching and using technique. Then it was Jin Yi. He would be okay if his voice wasn't so hoarse and airy. When it was my turn, I did okay except for one part when I switched from real voice to falsetto. I forgot to switch back to real voice and the next part of the song was rather low, so I went a little sharp. All in all, I think that we did quite well.

People only realise how important things are after they lose them.Even in this case...

Today,something very dumb/noob/ridiculous happened.I lost my pencilcase in a rather weird way.This incident occured at the Spring Rhapsody Lab,at 14 03 hrs.The last period for the day was Higher Chinese,and our teacher told us to bring our pencilcases and our newspaper(逗号)into the computer lab.We had to give our views on hazing(taupok,mango,keropok,pillar)and it was rather interesting.Then,out of the blue,terror/noobiness struck when the lesson ended.We were all packing up and preparing to leave the lab.All of a sudden,this guy(name will not be disclosed)decided to take my newspaper and run around the lab with it.After I had gotten back the newspaper,I forgot about the pencilcase,which was still lying on the table,and left the lab.How noob is that?I hope I find my pencilcase because precious memories are kept in it.A reward of 10 cents might be offered if anyone finds my pencilcase(not that these memories are only worth ten cents)
