ha!

hello there. hahaha. bah. rey's now at my house. he's gng back to school later. so damn sad lahx.
hahaha. some rey's female classmate is here. ahhaha.
not bad. hahaha.
i mean, not bad rey.

bah. 1.20 le.
i think they gng back sch le.
scandalising.
probably.
sianx diao.

need to study soon.
did chem today.
gng to do, or rather
supposed to do physics and
math today.

ha!
i'm sure i'll do.

bah.

heh-hoo. damn once i see and meet up with my vs 4B'ians, i always think of the good ol' days. now that we're all in different jcs and stuff, i can only look forward to us being in the same university. haiyah. NS, damn small chance of being in the same camp, or platoon, or watever you call it. ha! dun bother about it now. but yea, i miss them. i miss the class. the laughter. the dirty humour guys share. hahaha.

naughty me. somehow, i wonder how guys can actually show how much they care for each other. i mean looking at girls, they give one another gifts and talk like non-stop? guys neh? on the bus, machiam stone. hahah. dun talk. maybe that's one way guys and girls are different. bah! gender issues- remind me of gp. carnt wait till the midyears are over. considering the fact that midyears is coming, and not over [but soon to be!], i needa study. arghx. the agony of being slaved to the books. chain chain chain of fools. hahha. a bit the no meaning. no link. hahaha.

to roy gunawan: i think when i post this blog entry up, u'd be in tokyo or taipei ba. stopover to los angeles. well, wat can i say, 2 yrs being in the same class as you in 2001-2002 has definitely been moemorable. and from then onwards, we were not only friends or schoolmates, but brother in Christ. well brother, i wish you all the best in all that you do. don't forget VS motto: NIL SINE LABORE. keep the victorian flag unfurled yea? ha! MOST IMPORTANTLY, grow in the Lord and be a shining light to all those around you. keep in close contact.

hcjc choir concert.

went for the hcjchoir concert today. it was fantastic. their 2 syf's pieces were better than the one we heard during the actual competition. was really really nice. actually the reason why ray and i went to watch was because we wanted to hear bin-na-ma only. hahaha. but who knew, we were entertained by so many of their songs. really really good stuff. hahaha.

deserved their gold with honours.
really.

i went for 3 concerts in 3 days? 2 choir, 1 band. choir- mjc and hcjc. band- well, vjc. ha. spending too much on arts concerts le. but that's the last i think i'll go. the next one will be tpjc, but i think i'll most likely give it a miss this time round. heard them many times le. hahhaa. argh! acjc's latvian piece is just replaying through my head now. ha!

we were ranking the choir concerts by the various jcs after this night's concert: hc's first [definitely], ajc, mjc, then acjc. actually if acjc had at least an emcee, they would be pretty good. mjc- new choir: carnt really blame in terms of a lot of techniques, power.. yea. choral stuff. but i must say, all 4 concerts arr pretty much entertaining. very very nice pieces some choirs lreally have. i'll always rmb acjc's latvian piece. mj's shogan, and abba medley. aj- didn't go. hcjc's binnama, and ... errr.. actually all the songs lohs.

oh ya:
she said yes.
but not ready to get into a relationship.

love ya lots.

soccer finals

BAH! soccer finals: vjc lost to mjc 1-1, 6-5 on penalties. damn. but frankly speaking i felt both teams were good and both showed tremendous fighting spirit. it was saddening to see your own school lose in the finals, after beating the same team during the group matches 3-0. well i guess soccer's gonna be dominated by this 2 schools. vjc and mjc. both have really reaslly good players and coach too [tan yew hwee rocks! my pe teacher mahx...]. very very strong determination from both schools. vjc was down 0-1, but fought back with a penalty bringing the score up to 1-1. then game ended. sudden death brought a lot of stress... damn, i didn't even experience that sort of stress when i was taking my o-levels lahx. wth. hahaha. but anyway. that was the most stressful for the spectators, let alone the players on the field. but no goal. so penalty shoot-out. in the end, we lost 6-5 on penalties cause one soccer guy kicked the ball over the net. i think if he was to blog tonight, he'll be crying while typing it all down, recollecting his memories.

but frankly, kudos to all the vjc soccer guys! even to the guy who shot the ball over the net. we're all proud of you. you showed the fighting spirit- victorian spirit in the game and i felt that was all you needed to win the title. the trophy was just extra, the incentive and motivation was to play your hearts out. i could sense that all of you guys out there on the pitch wanted to win badly, doing your best to score that goal. my brothers: that is exactly wat the Victorian Spirit is all about- doing your best in whatever you do. maybe luck's not on our side, some people might believe. but persoanlly i feel this loss was necessary for greater things to happen for the soccer guys. sounds like the star wars movie right. hahaha. the emperor telling the dunno who that the loss of the count duku was necessary... hahaha. jsut as i enjoyed and remembered the movie, i will always remember this match.

well, besides the soccer match, there was choir elections today. and i was elected as the General Affairs Manager (GAM), taking over adrian's duties. from the bottom of my heart, i felt that all 11 nominees for the 5 available posts were very very strong contestents. too bad i didn't know a lot of them personally. people such as irvin, livia and zhour chu were the people i didn't really know. as i said in my presentation, i WILL do my best in whatever post i'm given if given the oppurtunity, and yes, now that i've been entrusted with this task, i WILL do whatever i promised. i still feel that the exco or musicco cannot work individually, neither can we work together and not with the choir as a whole. in the end, a choir is ultimately made up of PEOPLE and not person or groups of persons. we have to work together to bring the choir to greater heights and this belief of mine still stands.

so here's the brief outcome of the election results.
President: Marie
Vice-President: Samantha
Secretary: Siying
Tresurer: Jeremy Chia
GAM: Darren

Co-SC: Marcus
Co-SC: Shi Hui
Sop SL: Stephanie
Alto SL: Jie Jun
Tenor SL: Martin
Bass SL: Jeremy Yeo


God Bless!

eventful!

to all my faithful readers, i'm sorry i left without a word. damn that sounded so darn romantic. hahaha. but hey! i'm barck! it has really really been an eventful week. with sov, then the 3 day holidays. hahaha. pretty much cool. hahaha.

sov was so darn cool. just singing on the stage of the esplanade was just spectacular! hahaha. so fun. not gonna miss the nxt time we're gonna sing there- arts fest with SCO event.. its held there right> hahaha. wateva lahx. it was just like WOW. hahaha. beautiful place. with nice backstage rooms. i'll always miss the times we had jsut before SOV 2005. ahhaa. all the mad rush from room to room, trying to take photos with nearly everybody! hahha. the people in my room will also be a part of my memories- jianhao, martin, tiong, chuah, nigel, joshua, asik! woohoo! our room's the smallest, but the most cosy! woohoo! damn! i miss sov.

i carnt explain all of SOV here. it'll be pages long. read until u sian diao. hahaha. but it was the most momorable experience i ever had. hahaha. Year 1s! gotta start thinking of how to organise nxt year's SOV le! hahaha. at least have some ideas that we can all share! hahaha. so fun so fun so fun. to think this willl be my first and second last performance with the vjchoir. so so so fun! ah... even as i write this, the memories flood my head.

tt reminds me... cloudburst with the seniors [chorale], was super super fun and nice! hahhaa. loud too! hahhaa. damn fun. MAH-OH! hahaha. damn love that song. leonardo was beautifully done. though i felt we could have done much more. hahaha. the rest was alright. ahhaha. kalla kalla to me was alright when i was on stage singing, but when i heard the recording, it was very nice. hahaha. but there were some people who said the tenors are very weak. hmmm. but we were loud. hahaa.

went for acjc concert on sat. it was technically very very good. kudos to them for the soft intense singing. but frankly, i felt no soul in the music. besides, the songs they sang were typically competition songs... not very suitable for concert. oh ya! there was also no emcee throughout the concert. argh. like one silent movie... sianx diao. they sing song, u also dunno wat song they're singing. bah! but i actually heard peopl saying that the alumni is so much stronger than the college choir. little wonder why they got champio, whereas this time round, the college choir didn't do as well. the alumni choir had like about 30people? sounded so much louder and fuller. bah! i felt they were very very very controlled. as if they wanna sing out loud, but there's something gagging them. restricted imagination in singing. bah! overall- good, but forgettable.

hahaha. to all acjcian choir members: we're not bragging, but frankly with your techniques and skills, and a little more of expression, i'm sure ur concert next year will be so much much better. i think a lot of people have the same sentiments as me. oh ya. get an emcee. it helps in the movement of the concert. not just one silent track with different movements.

yea. hahaa. peace out!

fun experience

argh! haven't written anything on the blog fer a million and one years le... have been so busy with a lot of things: 1) Syf competition 2) PI 3) GPP 4) catching up with tutorials... hahaha...

went back to vs todae to collect my o's certificate with the rest of 4B. hahaha. sam, byran, muzzy, ragen, yc, kh, sy, xy came to collect... yaaaaaaaay... seeing them again somehow set the floodgates of memories free. damn i miss those days with u guys 4B. just us sitting around talking noithing but c**k. haha. i've this huge feeling that if i use the c**k word, my blog will be one of a search engine's results for pornographic websites. argh. damn i miss those days.

we were supposed to go for dinner but i had to leave halfway, actually b4 they even decided on dinnerplace cause i had to leave for church rehearsal. there was a rehearsal for the pastor lim gee tiong concert nxt thurs and friday. yea. and since i'm the tech i/c, i HAVE to be there. so yup: to all my brudders, sorry i couldn't go dinner with u guys yea? i'll prob see u guys again when we watch star wars. hahah. just rmb to bring more money, cause we can have mroe fun, like eating more exotic food. hahha.

and so i went to church, and the runs were pretty good. hahah. then it was time to go home. shubert sent my home on his motorcycle. by golly! it was a damn fun ride lahx. hahha. as in seriously, it was really really fun. with the wind blowing against your face, the feeling of being on a M/C is just exhilarating. hahaha. FUN! shahhaa.

tml got choir. full run with victoria chorale. not bad. singing thru cloudburst i think. hahah. will be so fun. i seriously need warmups to sing. if not, i cannot reach my note, and then i'll mostlikely end up singing the melody with my real voice. hahha. BAD. hahha. anyway, gotta bring some stuff tml- costume for the second half of the concert only. hahha. all i can say is that i got some real good-looking outfits! hahha. so WATCH OUT FOR ME. hahha. egoistic me.

yet again.

vjchoir: gold with honours.

well, the results were out yesterday. i know by the time you guys read this, you'd probably know the results but i'm going to say it anyway cause i'm so proud of wat we've done.

Victoria Junior College Choir: GOLD WITH HONOURS; CHAMPIONS
but personally i felt that we didn't do our best. i felt we could have done better. i wasn't contented with myself. but to think that if we hadn't put in our best and still get the gold with honours, imagine wat we can do when we put in our best. as what Mr Kwei has said and mentioned, we can only compare ourselves to no one but ourselves. being top and champions should be a natural thing, considering that we won big time in germany last year. we didn't do our best yesterda, that's for sure. but as wat many has said that the reason why we were the champions this year is not because we were good, but rather others did not deserve the win. yea. hahaha.
lest you guys out there think i'm pessisistic, well i'm not. cause i must admit that we did improve a lot for With A Lily In Your Hand and sunset. we improved a lot over the past few months growing fromn strength to strength, from intensity to intensity. when we sang up there on stage, sunset and Lily was beautiful. those 2 songs were truly a representation of our efforts. a pity that we didn't really shine in pamugun, though we did put in our best efforts. yea. still, i feltt vjchoir did very very well. we improved a lot.
