29.May.2010: Choral Workshop

Before I bore you guys with my totally emotional and somehow senseless posts, here's a post which will be - for the first time ever - quite happy. (Emphasis on 'quite' , I didn't say 'all the way through').

So, MGS and our school's choir are gonna hold a choral performance tomorrow. And there's gonna be a choir from NUSS, which is a university in Singapore. Therefore, there was a workshop at our school hall just now from 2-5.30pm.

After running through a few songs, the Singaporeans arrived. And all we could see was people. Not only people, but old people. Bear in mind that all of us thought it was gonna be people of almost 20-year-or-so. Like, it's a university. Whatever. This proofs that the famous saying '活到老, 学到老' is actually true.

NUSS' choir's conductor was awesome. Not only was he the only one who's younger, looks younger, the tallest, conducts -duh-, but he could play the piano pretty good and sing as well. Not to mention that the finale song 'Wherever You Are' was actually written by him. =D And the way he conducts, oh man, you guys should have really, really seen it!!!! It's like totally different and yet we could all get what he meant. WEIRD.

Actually, the weirdest thing was that Li Fei said that Ming Ching, who's voice is way more girlish than mine, looked 'shuai'. Chew Ying even agreed. Oh gosh. I can't believe this. O.O

Chew Ying, as usual, was pretty down due to some 'choir issues' again. When I say 'choir issues', I'm referring to the fact that she thinks she's not good enough to be the conductor. Seriously, I don't get it. Why the heck do people who are great think that they suck??!! After being convinced quite a few times by me, she cheered up by about 1%.

The teacher told us suddenly that we had to perform 2 extra songs!!!!!! And tomorrow's the concert!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. I believe we're Gods alright. Pulling up 2 songs with half an hour of practice today and another hour tomorrow. Great. And guess what. We got scolded because we were practicing for the 2 songs. Haha. (Sarcastic laugh, not an actual one)

It was quite fun actually. I like the feeling of having tenors and basses in the choir. I like getting to tease Ming Ching because of her girlish voice. I like the feeling of getting to lecture Chew Ying when she was emotional. Yeah. I know I'm evil. =)
