To join Chorale or not? That is the question.



Sometimes I love singing in the choir so much its just the most important reason for me to join chorale.

Practice today was well, fun. =) After today I realised how important a part I play in the choir. Not trying to sound egoistic and self centred but I know how much I matter to the choir, at least. Serious!

Like today.
Mr Toh: "So who likes the arrangement now?" (as in standing position)
Half the choir raise their hands.
T: "And who likes the previous arrangement?"
I and a few others raise our hands.

Mr Toh then looks at the people raising their hands, then said: "Hmm so Dennis likes standing in the front. Ok Dennis come here."

Then I was like #(*#($*@(#@* because i am not the only person to raise my hand. =.= Any attempt at self defense of the basses didnt help much, and hence I end up standing in the front row and soloing beside the tenors and altos.

Well I liked the previous arrangement because Basses were in the centre mah. HOW rare is that? =))

Oh well. I dont have any hard feelings against anyone because I in fact enjoy standing in front. NO this isnt the point. Anyway.


Practiced a lot for Alma Del Core. A lot. Somehow practice doesnt do wonders for me. Most importantly its time i think. I need time to register stuff, so only over a period of days or weeks can I play a piece smoothly.

Hence I would like to apologise to Ben. Sorry Ben I tried my best. > < xD. I will work really really hard to show you that my performance today is non-representative of my standard. Hence i look forward to working with you at arts at the space! =)

Well a fun post about choir and piano. =) its a long day of music.

Labels: random quiz

I got a sudden urge to blog about this after having read the similar issue on a friend's blog.

Its the 4th year of RI. What have I achieved? Is it the somewhat high GPA? Is it the numerous leadership positions i hold in school, however small? Is it the joy of beating one person in a certain test just because you want to?

This post is NOT superficial. Often i wonder what I get out of my RI life too. 4 years in a school with such a rich history, and it is just all going to go to the back of my head? I hope not. Really.

So much to talk about, but I just cannot get it out. You see, when this 4th and final lap of my secondary school life is over, I ask myself what i sincerely want out of this. Is it the friends from my class 4D that we should keep forever? Or my fellow committee and choir members that I should remember for life? When you walk pass someone you have known for like what 7 years odd or so, it toally sucks just to wave high and pass that person.

And it all boils down to maintaining these relationships. Here i promise to you all in my class 4D, that I will do my best as assistant monitor to bring our class closer, be it a 1st, 5th, 10th, 20th, or 50th graduating year, I will, to the best of my effort, bring our class back together. And this too is not an empty promise.

For my fellow committee members, BEATS, it would suck more if I were to just walk pass you all one day in RJ and not even say hi. Having spent so many sessions with you all, it is, and would be really hard to forget you all. Daniel, Yuxin, Kangjie, Ben, Ian, Joel, Yishu, Guan Wei, Yifan and Matthew. I sincerely thank you all in making my final lap so enjoyable, and yet so fulfilling. Its not the problems that I will remember, rather the times when I turn to any one of you on stage, smiling and singing our parts together, when I have made a mistake and I know you will be there to back me up.

It has been a truly fulfilling RI journey so far, for now I know it is the relationships, the memories during hard and good times that make up your life in RI, just like you all have done for me so far. Thank you guys. I will continue to cherish and remember our hardships and tough times, and also the good times we spent and are going to be spending together.




And would anyone of you care to join me to stay in school till 12am on our very last day of school?

---------------------------------

And why do I sound like its nearing the end of school?

After all, things are not going as well as they are now. my test results are mediocre, and i am not doing enough to buck myself up. i must, must do well for my final lap.

if i appear too mug to you, im sorry. for you must understand that studies come at top priority for me now, and that nothing else really matters for me at this point in time.

i cherish the past, and survive in the present. After all i prefer you all to know me through my blog, because I can poor out my feelings here.

The Rafflesian Spirit - what is it? Do i have it?

TERM 2!

Its that part of the term again, where everything is due, every single subject has a test, and everyone is busy studying, choinging projects, etc etc. I myself have not enough time to study for maths, chem and physics. sigh.

Oh well life is boring but some parts of it have been fun so far. Reflecting back on my 3 and half months I realised that I didnt set out to accomplish what I did in term1, that is to live my RI life to the fullest. It seems that I have just fallen back into a routine where I am forced to go to school, lessons, come back, hw, sleep, and go to school the next day again. My weekends are worse, and that is the part I hate most. Sigh.

My gpa from PR 1 has been going up and down, counting in numerous assignments till today, it is still fluctuating around that gpa which i refuse to say. My poor SS and history cannot be pulled up, but i sincerely hope i get above 13/15 for SS cct, because if not thats the end for me. (that rhymes xD)

Argh chem CCT, phy CCT next. Time to score a double 4.0 now. xD

THERE IS JUST SO MUCH WORK! T.T someone out there help me please.

And my gpa for PR1 sucks please.

Learning Journey 2008

My blog has come a long way. Since oct 2006. =)

Oh well.

Learning journey today was super fun! Other than the fact that I get to leave at 11.15 and reach home at noon, record early, URA is seriously some cool place.

I mean, which other government building has an interactive activity, real life size models of singapore and marina bay, and lots more other cool stuff? URA has got to be the coolest place i swear.

The thing that impressed me most, was life size models, i mean think of the time spent to make actual small size representations of Singapore? They even got my HDB flat in there. :) cool right?

Came back home at 12, and wasted the entire afternoon doing crap. Playing zany bridge, maple, and also watching digimon adventures 02. i love digimon. how cool please.

And lastly, SLO meeting is tmr! Its the first of its kind, and also the first MEETING of its kind. I hope everything goes well tmr. Working on it now, so i have to go liao. Byebye.

[edit]
