A tall Briana and an unhappy Jiun Shen.
Mate from Choir and Green House, been through thick and thin.
STILL missing Yoon Leen, who went to settle her “business”
7 form 5 seniors doing solo, for our very last performance with CHS choir.
Grand Finale.
Smiled till facial muscles went sore, so many flash lights from so many cameras, my eyes hurt.
Drilling juniors during rehearsal.
CHS Choir at it’s best (:
I am very thankful that we have Miss Susanna as our coach, because she makes singing fun, and at the same time, helps us improve the most at the shortest time.
I only watched half of the Band concert, but no doubt band was great, the costumes, the music and everything. I know how hard they have worked for this, and I know this must be extra memorable for the form 5s like Yin Wei, Kim, Stephanie, Joyce, and all. By any chance they read my blog, I want them to know that I think they’re awesome.
Eric was great before and he still is, plus he’s really nice. He really took good care of Choir and help us shape our voice. Plus, his kiss was pretty very motivating (;
Yoon Leen, Miaw Fen, Nian Xin, Zu Lynn, Meng Xin, Wai Kuan and Jin Yee couldn’t be better friends. Thanks for celebrating my birthday even if it’s 1 month late, it was really surprising, but I am very touched. When I was singing Heal the world with you guys, I really felt that we were connected, that we’re a family, and nothing beats that. I thought of my first trip to Choir room, I thought of Choir competitions, performances, and the seniors that we all adore. Thought of the things that happened during rehearsals, writing permission slips, accidents with the keys, me and Nian Xin going shopping for costumes together, screaming at the juniors, being angry for I don’t know what reason, watching Ah Mian struggle with her heels, telling Jin Yee how to do his actions during his solo, hugging each other and giving each other massages backstage, the burden and the laughter we shared. The thing is I love you guys very much. I know that us performing together with Choir ends yesterday, but we’re going to stay in touch right?
Juniors, I am sorry that I get angry so easily when I see the mistakes repeating; I am sorry that I might have asked a little too much from you guys (you guys are after all energetic 13 and 14 year olds); I apologize for scolding you guys at least once in half an hour for every single practice and every single rehearsal. The truth is, all I wanted is for you guys to sound nicer, look neater, feel stronger, and be better. When you guys don’t listen to instructions, I get so angry I thought my head was going to blast off. When you guys repeat mistakes, I feel so upset that it actually hurts. When you guys come and take photos with me and do stupid silly things like changing the lyrics of the songs, I was aside laughing happily. And when people come tell me how much Choir has improved, I feel so proud, I thought that all the preparing costumes, preparing permission slips, all that worrying, all that stress, all that losing my voice was worth it. I hope you guys understand that every single senior, actually love and care for you guys very much, even when we don’t show it.
The comments on Choir’s performance was very good and encouraging. They say that when the camera man went up close, everyone on stage was clearly smiling. Miss Teoh said that the facial expressions were natural and entertaining, it drew the audience into the song. And everyone agrees that Choir sounded really good, that we improved a lot since they last heard us, which was probably last year. People keep telling me they never thought it was possible for Choir to sound so good, the average rating of our performance is a 8 out of 10.
We achieved such good results because everyone did their part well, everyone put in a lot of effort, and I couldn’t be more proud. Last night was really one of the most memorable nights of my high school life. I hope that when the new vocal coach arrives, we can sound even better. I would very much regret if I didn’t join any clubs when I was in high school, I would regret even more if I hadn’t join Choir, because Choir is a real family, and every single Choir member agrees on that (;
