ok, so the istana thing and the esplanade concert was a great sucess. At least to my expectation. Many things happened then and it was quite a emotional experience for all of us due to the departing sec 4s.. What happen during the first part of sunday is as follows:
1) I woke up in the morning at 7 plus, bathe, ate instant noodles and had a confrence with my friends.
2) I left the house at 9 am and took a bus to school. I arrive at 9.35 am.
3) The church choir and ebv were already there (i was a lil' late) and we started arranging our positions and got our voices warmed up. Soon, the primary school came and joined us too.
4) We boarded the bus for istana and on the way there, guo wei, arron and i were listening to our mp3 and we were singing along.
5) We alighted the bus and slowly 'checked in' into istana itself. That process was so long, and by the time we got to the meeting place, about 45 min had passed.
6) We gathered at an empty area and practise for about 1/2 h. We practise our esplanade and apparently, the church choir learnt those songs too.
7) We may our way to the grass patch were we were supposed to perform. The peace statue were covered with a red cloth and there was like an openhouse going on. Think its national day's.
8) Next, we waited under the hot sun for what seems like hours and occansionally made water trips.
9) After a long and tiring wait, the president finally came and we sang the song. It was quite perfectly done. There was a group of reporters around him and mr lee and the lady who created the statue wee of coz with him.
10) All these while, we talked to one another and i even made friends from the church choir. haha. ;)
11) The stupid compere even announced us a Chinese High school. At that moment, everyone was shocked and we didnt want to sing. Some were angry. Lucky for us, he realised his mistake and corrected it immediately. What an embarrasment!
12) We separated from the church choir as we needed to make our way to esplanade already.
Coming up is what happened during the esplande concert (it was pretty slack):
1) We reached esplande a short while and squeeze into the changing room to put out stuff and to settle down. The vain ones were seen crowding and pushing their way through the toilet. I wasnt one of them ok! ;D
2) We changed into out choir uniforms despite all the sweat emiting from our bodies and we waited at the life lobby for the final rehearsal to begin. We chatted and took some photos.
3) Soon the rehearsal started and it went quite well frankly.
4) We had our dinner (which consisted of rice, 2 chicken, 1 fish and a few strands of vegs). And we were told to rest and relaxed and wait for the performance to start. Of coz knowing us, we made use of the chance to chat with one another and to take any remaning pictures with each other.
5) So our performance started and it went very well. The crowd were excited esp during luk luk and circle of life. The animal noises in circle of life was awesome and everthing just went well. I sang my heart out knowing that this would be the sec 4s last official performance and so i enjoyed it very much with them for the last time.. Everything blanded well and a mix of emotions stirred up inside me.
6) After our performance, many sec 4s felt very sad and they some shed a few tears. I too was tearing a bit as many of them are my good friends and it is only natural to feel sad. Some managed to hide their sorrow while others expressed it out. The atmosphere was truly touching and warm feeling.
7) 30 of us had to go and guide the primary school choir into the hall again for the grand finale. My 'boy' was pretty much adorable as i previously know him due to my past existance in the primary school choir.. Nevertheless, we chatted and i even took a photo with him. When aaron gian tried to steal him away from me, he got angry and didnt talk to aaron. ha! just too bad, aaron! he only wants me! =)
8) The grand finale was quite disatrous and made everyone mad. After we sang the school song, certain ppl started throwing the bouquet of flowers for the choir around and it was an ugly sight. Moreover, some ppl started throwing light sticks into the air and into the crowd. I admit that i was one of them due to the influence of shaun, however i followed my stick as it spun into the air and i saw the someone caught it before it became dangerous.
9) Once in the changing room, mr leong blew his top about the throwing of light sticks. However he put the biggest blame on the co ppl who started everything first (which he claimed). I dunno.. Then we got dismissed and i went to find my parents and renzie's.
10) We went for supper at lau pa sat sitting renzie's uncle's extravagant mpv. It was cool sitting in one and after the sastifing and filling supper, i felt asleep in the car while going home. Opps.
Let's just say that this had definitely been a great experience for me. I'll certainly missed the sec 4s when they leave, but life has to go on. And all these are part and parcel and life..
I kind of lost my voice the next day due to excessive singing for 3 consecutive days.. luckily i didnt lose it forever.. I rested well for the next 3 days and many things happened concerning many of my closest friends..
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN ANOTHER 1/2 H. I'M GONNA BE 14. HAPPY BRTHDAY TO ME..
