SYF 2009

Yesterday was the SYF Central Judging competition and I have to admit, it was really very fun and enjoyable! The whole experience was really a rollercoaster ride.

In the morning, right after assembly, we already started choir. We warmed up, practiced the songs, got changed and ate a super early lunch at 10 am. Then, Mr Toh came! He practiced with us and we did Ave Maria humming with our eyes closed in the dark. It was really cool!

Afterwards, we went to Victoria Concert Hall and practiced in the rehearsal room. We were really really tense, but it got better as we relaxed. Mr Toh told us to focus on him, and nothing else. We waited to go on stage for maybe about 15 minutes and it seemed forever, but the time finally came and we went on stage. We savored the moment, as one choir, one body. We performed the songs and it was magical!

After the performance, we went off stage and changed into our uniforms, home clothes etc. and went to eat. Done eating, we reached Victoria Concert Hall at 5.10 p.m, we waited for the rest to come. We went into the concert hall first to get seats for the results. Eventually when the rest reached, there wasn't enough space for them anymore, so Gemonn, Joshua and I gave up our seats for them. The person announced the results and VS choir got Gold with Honours too! The sop ones screamed and we were all like 'lol'. When it came to our turn, we were anticipating a gold or a silver, but we got Gold with Honours! Naturally we were all freaking happy.

The Celebration
We tried to tau pok Mr Toh but he insisted that we couldn’t, so we didn't. However, we did tau pok someone else. It was the Impeccable Cornelius! We did lots of crazy stuff, because we said we'd do them if we got Gold with Honours. Therefore, Zhen Sheng had to jump into the pool, Gemonn had to kiss Terence, Joshua and Zi Feng had to slap each other 15 times and we did lots of other crazy stuff. The most memorable scene, however, was surrounding Mr Toh and singing Ubi Caritas to him. It was the best!
