been a roller coaster ride lately.

been a roller coaster ride lately. (deja vu!)

first, there's the Sec 1 Orientation programme by the Choir.
I had to take d role of d Demo Singer most of the time with EThan. (cool, Ethan's name has d letters "ET". that'll be his short-form name from now on.)
I'm supposed to demonstrate the Sec 1s how to sing during the audition. (DUH)

Because of the Orientation, I had to miss 2 whole days of classes (Thurs, Fri 2 weeks ago) and 4 more periods on Monday. (Chem + Bio classes, 2 periods each).

Did I mention that there was d Math Project w/ Aaron, Bryan and Jasper Kim? We had to work on it during last weekend and the following monday (AKA the due date). Thank God Aaron was able to work on the project till tuesday 4am. I blame (or thank) Caffeine.

The rest of the week was Choir from afternoon to night.

Tuesday. the choir learned the SYF song. Its rhythm was something quite foreign to the choir, so u can imagine what we had to fix during this "1st practice where we can settle down for the year". After choir, i remembered that I have Add Math Tuition. that's from 7-9PM.

Wednesday, we had a mic test for the next day's performance. Ended early coz of d rain. The seniors n I helped Ms Gan work on d room messing-up. (Hey, every room must be messy before it can be clean. It's a cycle of cleanliness)

Thursday, we had a performance during Morning assembly. the comments were mixed, some said it was good, some thought it was mediocre. nevertheless, we had a rehearsal in d afternoon for d CCA Display. After that, Miss Gan told us [---Censored. Reason: NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement---]. So, [---Censored. Reason: NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement---]. Anyway, bottom-line: we were not ready for SYF in the eyes of some people.

More on Thursday, we finally decided to go down to the Upp Courtyard to rehearse. Our music was ecoed throughout the school building (from what we noticed). Well, there's nobody in d school building, so that's expected.

Finally, Friday came. It's D-Day. Make it or break it, we had to garner as many people to join our CCA. The rain may have turned away many people from going all around the school, so that may explain the low turnouts @ the music room. anyway, we had satisfied visitors anyway...

After CCa Display ended, Miss Gan read to us an email sent amongst the school staff.
Apparently, someone heard our singing on Thursday. The teacher was "making his way to the Staff Resource Room, when he heard melodious singing. It was the Choir!". He/She listened to the choir from there, enjoying the charming sweet voice amidst the rain. The teacher even named the moment where he was listening to us from afar. Not sure of the word at the moment, but nevertheless, it was still very touching (in my opinion) to know that at least somebody appreciates our effort, rather than feeling as if you were just being critisised by everyone, fighting the war of words alone.

Well, the touching email definitely inspired me to end off my blog posts with 3 words which we sing as a school every fortnight. so here ends my very long blog post...

UP AND ON
