Title says it all. I hope I'm doing the right things.


Anyway I'm considering defecting to livejournal. Now if I can just find a way to import all my posts...

Left myself with so many regrets these past 6 months, some that have been there all along, others just discovered. Two days ago.

And there's 1 week left. Can't concentrate.

13 hours to farewell. I'm really excited, cos I heard the juniors really planned a lot of stuff. But I'm also rather reluctant for choir to be all over. Sigh.

I'd best go finish up my last card.

Two weeks wasted. So much to do. That's it. I'm not gonna use the comp until I get some stuff done.

On 27th May we had our last performance as the 06/07 rioHC batch. I don't ever wanna forget that day. But I dunno if I'll manage to capture all the memories in this post. At least we've got tons of photos and the professional recording done by the esplanade people.

Met with most of the Summer group at City Hall in the morning. Joel Sera Miaoqin and.. wow that's all eh. Yuhan was late. Jonny didn't wanna lug a box of concert pamphlets around, and yuntian was at marina square already. Some of the juniors were there also. We left first, for Marina Square. Somehow we always end up at the foodcourt. Hm.

Joe and Yuhan came later. I went to get food but ended up going with Joe to help Lynnette carry her oh-so-heavy grand total of ONE box of pamphlets (wow we need two people for that lol). Yeah but I wanted to repay my debt, cos she brought me the much needed handphone charger (i forgot the charge my phone the day before). Oh and while we were looking for lynnette we found Defeng Jingzhi Boyang at BK. Just the three of them happily eating away at their double whoppers.

Took quite a while to find Lynnette. Almost got lost. Whoops. Some of the juniors were at Marina Square already when we got back. I ate the bak chor mee. Same thing I ate that night after SYF. Then I decided I wasn't full enough and I went to get popiah. Had to go before I could finish off one though. Logistics were supposed to meet earlier to prepare the rooms backstage. So junyao and I rushed off.

And we got there on time! Not bad. Quite a lot of the choir people were there at the concourse already. We headed down to meet Mr Quek. He'd already scanned all the backstage passes. So we just went in to prepare the rooms - which basically consisted of unlocking the doors and placing signs into the slots in the doors. Hm.

The Esplanade Backstage is really a maze man. And there's 3 levels. And the dressing rooms. Wow. I laughed when I recalled the.. er "dressing rooms" the guys had to squeeze in last year during our concert day at VCH. The toilets are really clean, the smaller rooms are like hotel rooms, and the two large ones the college choir used were so... er clean. They had individual lights for each mirror. To simulate the stage lights, I'm told. Oh and the key's really cool. Some ball-bearing thing. You can here something in the lock moving after you insert the key. Everything's really new. Well, I guess that's cos it is new. But enough about that.

We ( the logistics comm) went up to get the rest. Seok and I led the Fingerprints people. Oh man we almost got lost. Couldn't find the rooms at first. I wonder how they designed the place. We found the rooms in the end of course. Really embarrassing... Ah well.

When I returned to join the J2 guys (guys and girls had a large dressing room each) they were almost done with warm-ups already. Haha it was kinda weird- maybe the room was sorta sound-proof, cos I could hear our voices echoing in the adjoining toilet. Hm. Ok nvm.

We had a final tech run on stage. It went quite okay I guess. Except for the Summer of 69 thing. I was rather disappointed that we were taken out... but it was for the good of the concert. Yup. We just couldn't perform our usual on stage for some reason. I keep thinking it's cos the mike balance was off cos our formation was different from the other group's so for example the mike the bass used for Our Story was given to the tenor. Haha. Just a theory.

At the end of the final run-through miss lim talked to us for a bit. She's right. We've been a troublesome batch. I remembered then I thought back to all the past events. Like someone said before, we've had a lot of ups and downs, downs being more. But our 'ups' are truly worth all the effort But she's also right that we're a good batch. With 'the potential'. Our last chance to prove ourselves was that night man. What miss ho said to us after really struck me. How the last practice the day before concert ended really was in a way fitting for our batch. "Drama to the end", as she put it. Yes, drama to the end, and not for nothing..

We went to the artiste lounge for our dinner, catered by Job's dad's company- Elsie's Kitchen haha. The food was GOOD. For $4 I'd say it's really worth it. Much better than Yong Chye or Golden Rooster.

Went back to the changing rooms to change after dinner. I really must learn how to tie a tie some day. Junyao Hewlett and I had to leave early to bring the concert pamphlets up to the area outside the concert hall, and when we got back the choir was outside the stage door waiting already. And so Cantare begin.

I remember really giving my all during the final moments of Mate. I remember having just one thought in my mind (not the lyrics whoops) singing Si Nanay- "it's our last time." I remember feeling the excitement of Jap Game. And haha I remember thinking, "wah our delengdenglengdeng's very off" during the beginning of MaYiLa.

There's so much more. I don't wanna forget. May 27 was the last time ever we were on stage together as a batch. The batch that withstood so many trials and went through so much.

Hwa Chong Choir 2007.

Had our last ever official practice today.

Our time in choir is ending soon.

Okay no cannot be sad yet. Tmr we go and sing our hearts out. Happily. And go off with no regrets.

Aargh. It's just hit me. Finally. The realisation that after this Sunday, there's no more choir. We didn't get picked for choral presentation. So no extension of our time in choir. Only two days left.

How I wish these two days would go on forever...
