Xmas day!

Finally!...CAroling over...
so is CHRSITmas day....

for the past 2 days...choir has been caroling at Hotel Rendevous...its along Brass Basah Road..
Caroling there is fun...but is kind of uncomfortable...
we were caroling on some grand staircase...but thats not the problem...the problem is....
the place is damm HOT!... In front of the staircase is the lobby....n the lobby is quite small...
BUt the place is so hot..n can see everyone sweating while singing..
Other than tat...other things are OK...n we were given an aircon room to put our things...
the room is so cold n tats gd...n we were also provided with water...

After caroling on Eve..we had nothing to do....we den go Plaza Singapura...walk around...den decided to go Daryl hse for some MJ sessions...haha..suggesting overnight sessions..haha...but later thinking of another caroling on Xmas day...den we abandoned tat idea..haha..but still played until 2.30 am..
This is quite a funny celebration we had...thinking of last year while i was working in a grand hotel in the pastry department...haha...i am eating turkey n drinking wine in the kitchen...haha...n counting down with the ppl working there...

Every year...when Xmas is over...holidays will be ending...n sch will be reopening...haizz...
BUt...a new year is starting...n few more weeks will be CHINESE NEW YEAR liao!!...
-always think on the bright side-..
THis CHinese new year will have 2 new games to play liao..haha..1 game is the one i learnt in KL...another one is the one i have practiced so much in this holidays n throughout the year...

BUt....A levels is also coming soon..

in front

Wow>.....Finally finish our caroling at BUgis and Parkway Parade...wahaha...
But there is still another 2 more carolings at HOtel Rendevous!...on 24,25/12/2005!..
Wonder how does this Hotel looks like...hope it has some grand lobby or stage for us to perform..haha...n not some Ulu uLU place...

24/12/2005- 7.30 to 8.30
25/12/2005-1.00-1.30

these are the currently confirmed dates...

Talking abt the 2 caroling sessions at Parkway and 3 sessions at BUgis...it is somehow interesting and enjoyable...but it is quite tired...n since we dint manage to memorise all the scores...cos got abt 17 songs??....haha...so we hold a black file while singing.

At Parkway...we went caroling in the afternoon...at abt 1pm...den tat time dun have much ppl shopping around..hence the crowd doesnt look big...but we still have to perform..cos we were paid already..haha..1/2hr for $500 i think?...haha..
At 2 pm...we move into the parkway mall to carol again...now...we split into 2 grps...den we sing again for 1/2 hr..the funny thing is tat...there r more ppl coming to watch us...probably theres aircon inside..den ppl are willing to stay n listen...
After everything..we got abt 2 hr break to make our way to bugis..for another session of caroling..

At bugis..everything is the same for 3 days..sang almost the same songs n also have the same EMCEE...lol..but the crowd at bugis is more bigger than at parkway...probably we are caroling in the evening...n there is also a big shelter for ppl to move in n listen to us singing...

On the last day of this 3 days of caroling..i had my 1st chance of conducting the choir..partly because sam,muihia,and justin got their own caroling..den they could not make it on the last day..it starts at parkway den ends at bugis...
After this, i jus realised it is not tat easy to conduct...n not just abt moving hands n body...still need to lead the choir..correct tempo all tat...start n end together..n also have to aware of the pitching of each sections...this not much to worry..as we have learnt all the songs le..haha..

After conducting the 2 sessions..i realised i didnt conduct 2 songs well like the others...
'DingDOng MErrily on HIgh', and ' Deck the halls'...
'DingDong'...i conducted a little bit too fast at bugis..cos got ppl kp say it is too slow..somemore i couldnt hold any scores tat time...

'Deck the halls'...not everyone is comfortable with the song...but no choice cos we have no songs left except this n 'We wish u a merry Xmas'...so we chose this lo...haha...problem is tat day we dun have enough boys...den still got the TB part...haizz...but nvm lo..jus sing as it is the last song...

I found other songs ok...cos we end n start together( at bugis only)...cos i have warmed up at parkway liao...n mistakes committed are all at parkway..haha...cos it is the 1st time ...so hope ppl can forgive..haha..Tats all la...tired liao...haha..

'MERRY CHIRSTMAS'!

After the KL trip...
There are a number of events coming up...esp...CHRISTMAS CAROLS!!....
Need to learn alot of Christmas carols...abt 17-20?...haha...somemore in a short while...even though we had learnt some b4 going to KL...but it is still quite alot...

We have caroling on 16,17,18/12/2005.. At bugis Junction, 5.30 pm
17,18/12/2005...at Parkway parade ...1.00pm

ITs quite tiring actually...but when u see crowds...u dun feel anything...haha
We will be allowed to hold scores...so its not so much of a problem..or we have to memorise all the songs in such a short time...haha...

REturning From KL rite..I kept receiving alot of messages abt SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT!!...
I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

So happy that it had been cancelled last time due to some stupid home...den now came a new one....i jus wonder y my class canot wait until the day the sch reopens den start discussing all the things..cos now is like sending msgs everywhere...n not sure if everyone received it or can make it for the day...STUPID RITE!!...den also keep organising unnecessary meetings among the few ppl...den confirming all the ideas among themselves...den the rest will have to follow..
WTH??...Den as i am the treasurer la...i am in the committee...ZZZZZZ....ITS super ***************************....as it is in the holiday period...n some ppl are still struggling with their homework n some promo exercise...y do they have to do this things during the holidays??...cant wait until they have cleared all their thingS????...n u think me as a treasurer will go home to home to collect money from everyone??...SO IT IS NOT FEASIBLE N it is useless to do such things during holidays.........haizz....sian....

Just wish the KL trip can be longer...den no need to worry abt such things liao....

back from KL

WohohO!!!....i have returned from KL le!!!...finally!!...
Got A series of wonderful news and results for everyone...
Here are the results forour KL competition-A Voyage Of Songs 2005

We got 1 gold B, 2 gold C
Gold B- 85.0 to 89.9
Gold C-80.0 to 84.9

True n lucky enough, we got GOLD B FOR EQUAL VOICES..so lucky tat we got 85 pts...and HOORAY TO our MALE VOICES!!!...n our VVVVIP in this chorus...is our conductor...WEI WEI!!>...whoho...u have done a great job!...we have beaten the MIA LADIES chorus of MALAYSIA(75 pts)...
we have beaten them partly because they had sung the set piece 'wrongly'...meaning a different interpretation of the song...n tat kills them...haha....
N for this, WE GOT INTO THE GRAND FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....

WE also did quite well in other areas...we got 2 gold C in FOLKLORE n OPEN MIX catergory...
We did WAK WAK Gung n USULI boat song in folklore..with soloist...WEIWEI!!....haha...
n yumeimita, gloria n AND SO IT GOES...for our open-mix voices...
i jus think tat our SO IT GOES is one of the best songs we have ever sung...so touching n could almost cry...its because it is a song about someone losing his/her love..haha...n so by putting our feelings into the song...the song becomes so nice n also quite sad la..hahaha...NOT FORGETTing our VVVVVVIIIIP - Mr Low Xu Hao...haha...

This KL trip is a 5 D 4 N tour....HOWEVER...2 days have been used for travelling...from s'pore to KL...by a coach...small n uncomfortable...wonder if we could have 'CAO YUAN'...the seats is like...super big lo...like a massaging chair...wa...
I love this trip la..n have also enjoyed myself....wow....n also talk to more choir ppl after this trip..haha...cos last time in choir not so close to these ppl...haha...but NOW is different...
I just think tat any choir trip is better than any other trip...LIKE ODAC adventure trip...to some malaysia forest?..haha..n shandong trip to have an exchange programme...cos all these trips...u are going with ppl u r not very close with...n somemore u dun have the time to enjoy urself...to play all tat...cos u need to accomplish the objectives of the tour...

BUt for choir tours...it is different!!...though we are going overseas to compete ...we have already prepared ourselves before we went there..so..we have more time to play n shop all tat...instead of hiding in rooms n practising all day...haha..

I also learnt a new game called InBetween...a very 'fierce' game...a game which can make u lose like shit n make u win like hell?..haha...this game teach u dun be greedy..haha...n i also learn the BRIDGE game properly liao...thx to richard n zhengwei..haha...cos i last time learn a few time but still cant get a clear pic of the game...haha..

IN this TOUR...i have also achieved my status of 'the GRANDMASTER' in 'LAMING'..haha...dun believe can ask ppl like chee kian..cos i have multi-killed him...cos i n some other master..like andrew /zhengwei can make him laugh until he canot finish his lunch....haha....n tats on the 1st day of the trip...haha..n really loved the choir ppl alot...after every competiton...when we have nothing to do liao...we will go to HOngyi or they come to my/andrew/chin's room to play InBetween...haha...'HoTkey' n 'Satu Ringgit' are the words u always hear..haha...

I also saw HAISING CATHOLIC SCHOOL choir participating in this KL comp also...haha...saw them alot of times...living in the same hotel also...but i duno anyone of them...haha...but at least i saw mrs WAN...last time my archery teacher...haha...BuT..the funny thing is tat...y suddenly she jumped from Archery to Choir?....haha...den my brother jus say she accompany them to KL only...not in-charge...haha....
they dint do so well as us...they got a no. of silvers i think...den i tell my fren ...lucky i dint join hschoir...haha..But i also wasted my years in Archery...zzzzzzzz.....but looking at hsc choir now...they are more guys le...at 10...haha..last time only 2...hahahahahaha...Other secondary schools doing well are TKSS n COmmonwealth...they are probably the best sec. schs...

the FOOD there is quite nice la...but the problem is tat...they keep providing almost the same foods everyday ...everytime...cos EGG is always provided in breakfast/lunch/dinner....it is jus in different forms...got scramble EGG, Fried EGG, EGG with soup....ALL nice la...but is SICK OF IT!!....
n tats y me/andrew/chin all decided to skip breakfast for the last 2 days ...so tat we can sleep longer...since the food sucks...den we almost everynite call for room service...haha...CLUB SANDWICH ..FISH N CHIPS all tata...abt 20 ringgit...haha...n there are alot of things to complain abt the 'HOTEH'!!..

On the 1st day we go...we reached there at abt 2.30pm...but we only managed to check in at abt 4+...wait until so long lo...den they say this is becos the rooms are not tidied yet...but mr tan help us by getting the keys n jus put our things in the rooms 1st...den we go in rite...the bedsheets all on the floor lo...haizz...n when they tidy the room rite...i duno whetehr they got change the bedsheets used by the previous ppl...or jus arranged properly n tidy it up...if they dint change...i will be damm dirty lo...cos we duno wat the ppl previouly using this room have been doing...duno if they erhem on tat bed anot...hahaha....

den after tat rite...they dint provide us towels...only give us 1...which needs to be shared by 3 ppl...me/drew/chin....tats so terrible...somemore we stinks from spore to KL lo...n everyone wans to bathe ...so how to share 1 towel....den we call n call for towels...den wait until 2 days den come...cos they say out of stock..WA PIANG....den andrew no choice but to use a super small towel...slightly bigger than a handkerchief only...den i use the towel ppl used in gym one...slightly bigger than andrew one....haha....
I really must 'kowtow' to andrew liao la...can use such a small towel to wipe himself lo..haha..
Undoubtedly the Grandmaster of Ideas...haha..n i n him had to use these towels for 2 days lo...
WAT lousy service is tat from a 5-star 'HOTEH'.....1st time i live in a hotel without towels....

I had terrible sore throat n dried lips in KL lo...pain like....zzz...difficulty in eating ...but tats not the worse..cos the food sux anyway...haha...worse is tat i canot sing properly...my forceto is spoiled..haha..somemore i had to use forceto to sing the solo part in AND SO IT GOES....wa...lucky i managed to get myself cured by sucking lozenges...haha...
but still go back to the same..after laughing too much while playing InBetween...n too much of laming...haha...
BUt on the day of the GRAND FINALS...my voice still dint recover...den i no choice but to suck n swallow a whole box of lozenges...finished them jus b4 we went on stage...haha...n den...i managed to sing my high notes..or i will 'zhao siea'...lol...

I totally enjoyed myself from this trip...n really felt that i am more closer to choir ppl than to my class ppl...whom 1/2 of them are ppl who like to 'pangseh'...n i almost have no confidence in the class in doing things liao...
However...my choir friends are totally different...encouraging n caring n ppl who keep their words..n somemore i feel comfortable with them...n after this KL trip...there are more programmes coming up...
THEY ARE CHRISTMAS CAROLINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
whohoohohoho....
