SYF Exchange at HCI

Hey peeps, today we had a choir exchange at HCI from 7.45 to 1.30pm and i felt so angry with myself. Why? Cause for the kekatu song, i sang my solo part wrongly and i was so angry that i wanted to bang my head on the wall and cry. Wahh.... How could i afford to make such a mistake? It was such a silly mistake that i created. Stupid me...
We had to report at 7.30am at tge foyer as attendance would be taken at 7.45am, and the choir would not wait for latecomers so we had to be there on time. We did a few warm-ups before we boarded the bus to HCI. At around 7.50am, we boarded thebus according to our classes and levels. So isat with si en for the bus trip there. Me and alethea were in the same bus while yy and yan jie were in the other bus. When we reached there, we were all so stressed cause all the otherv choirs were drilling like mad for it and we felt pressurized by the atmoshphere there. We went to a lecture theatre to do our 'rehearsals'. It totally didn't went well cause it's either sop 1 go out of tune, sop 2 or alto 1 too soft or alto 2's beginning note is unstable. Every section was so nervous that every single section had a problem they faced.
So when it was time for us to move to the auditorium, we walked there feeling nervous and with butterflies in our stomachs. We were both nervous and excited over it. Yan jie and i kept trying to combine out solo parts together but still, THE PROBLEM LIES WITH ME. We were the 4th choir to perform and ms lim conducted us. I was in need of the toilet when the 2nd school was performing but elsa advised that we shouldn't go so i held it until after our performance. Cause i drank a whole bottle of PI PA GAO, so i was so urgent. But surprisingly, i didn't feel urgent during the performance. Maybe it's because i forgotten that i needed the toilet. We didn't sing well for the 3 songs namely white horse which is the set SYF piece and we were okay just that we didn't observe teh dynamics at all so not very nice to hear. For our jap song, ITSUKI, the high 'O' part was okay but the song didn't go well. Ms lim kept mouthing 'LOUDER' to the sop 2 and alto 1 and she told us that of we didn't want to sing well, we should get out. We fighted all the way for our last song, kekatu which was okay until the solo part.
I totally screwed up the solo part. I guess it was because i got easily influenced by clara who was right behind me. Cause she sang her part loudly, i was influnced by her part and started singing wrongly. So i only managed to sing my last phrase but wrongly. After our performance, i went to the toilet with yan jie and we discussed about our performance. We watched all the other school perform as well as st. nics and nanyang girls'. ACS was so cute cause all their sops are small sized and are at the sec 1 to 2 range. But cannot hear them. Can understand cause they are boys so quite difficult to sing. Their SLs are like sec 1s, so cute. The ACS president taught the SLs how to teach their members. I was quite surpirsed when i saw the SLs. Didn't expect them to be so small sized. Hahas.
Ms lim then ended the workshop by commenting on the schools that she didn't conduct and it was the JCs that were performing but the J1s just joined so they used files and also because they are not familiar with the song, they might stop the song halfway. We stayed until the JCs finished performing, we went back to school and this bus trip back to school, i sat right at the back with sheryl tan, alethea, xin yu and tat huey. Si en sat with risa so at least i didn't pang seh her so badly. I apologised to her and she accepted my apology. Our bus came back first so me and alethea waited for yy, yan jie and zj to come back for lunch together at parkway. When we came back, we saw band perparing for their concert at some place and they left when we came back from HCI. It looks like all the PA CCAs are busy with SYF and concerts.
When they reached school, we walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus. I brought my korean cds along with me and zj was browsing through the SHINee photos when she almost dropped it onto the road. I was so scared at first but luckily never drop la. We sat bus 43 and ate at the foodcourt in parkway. Jeanette *(sorry if i spelt it wrongly) came to eat with us. Zj ate ban mian, yy and alethea shared a big claypot of rice, yan jie and xin yu ate ramyun while i ate chicken rice. Jeanette didn't eat so she did her theory work. We went to marks and spencer after our lunch. Zj, yy and alethea bought the 'PIG EARS' which i thought $2.50 for one packet was quite expensive. Yan jie bought an easter egg for $1.90 which i thought that was quite costly for 1 egg but not as costly as the pig ears. I 'KOP' 3 pig ears altogether from alethea and yy. Me, xin yu and jeanette didn't buy anything. Then we went to other shops to look see look see and then to mini toons. Me and yan jie kept laughing when we came out of mini toons because of an inside joke. It was so funny my stomach ached like mad. Then yy showed us a joke form a card and we kept laughing non-stop also. Zj went to stuff a receipt inside my pinafore and i had difficultly taking it out. Yy helped me with it and thanks to her, i felt free. Hahas.
After all that jokes, we went to 7-eleven to buy some drinks but i didn't buy. I was like the MONEY-COUNSELLOR that day for everyone. Casue i kept telling them that it was a waste of money buying stuffs that are not necessary except for DBSK and SHINee stuffs. Heh heh. When they were paying for their things, 76 and 43 passed by so we had to wait for another bus to come. 135 came a while after that and yan jie, xin yu, jeanette and zj boarded the bus. 43 and 76 came later so yy, alethea and i decided to take 76 as it was faster. Alethea alighted at her house then me and yy swiched to bus 147 at the bus tip before opposite bowen sec. We waited for the bus for 1/2 an hour before it came. But we had fun talking and laughing at the FEDEX as well as the JAGABEE advetisement. It kept playing and playing and it made us laugh like mad. Then when 147 came, we boarded it and we suddenly talked about FART cause someone farted in the bus and it was very smelly. Hahas.
Well, now i'm at home blogging. My sister just came back and she talked to me about today's workshop and i CRIED cause i was so sad about the solo part. She hugged me and i was so touched by it. It was not only because if the solo part that made me angry. I was also saddened by my bad results so yups. My chem results was so bad. My a-maths results is better than my e-maths. So weird but my sister says it's like that for her as well. Anyways, next week relasing SYF round 1 auditions and also got auditions by ms lim which is round 2. Next week also got lower sec assembly performance and the following week got upper sec assembly performance. Till next time, i wish everyone in choir all the best for the auditions and i hope that my geog, elect lit and ss results are okay. Bye! :D
