My mother just bought a new laptop for my father!! zomg it's Acer and it's dual core and it's VISTA! NICE! I want one too :(

Choir practice today was alright, I guess, other than screwing up the mini-performance again, infront of VS and TKSS.

First of all, straight after warm ups, we had any choir's biggest nightmare come true.
Our SYF performance was sandwiched right in between 2 GwH choirs, together with NYJC, which is a gold choir.

So the order is:

Hwa Chong Institution (GwH)
Nanyang Junior College (Gold)
Meridian Junior College (Gold)
Anglo Chinese Junior College (GwH)

LIKE WTF?? HOW IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE LOL? And after that got like RJC and AJC. Our marks will seriously be dependent on how we rate upon these JCs. But I'm sure, after the audition on friday, we'll stand a much better chance of getting the Gold/GwH.

Auditions. The most feared word in every SYF-participant-wannabee vocabulary. For MJChoir, it's this friday evening, during our camp. So I'm left thinking, "Yay we can finally get rid of the people who can't sing at all!", or "Shit I hope I don't fail the auditions." But then again, the latter would make me really embarrassed (imagine if your Student Conductor failed auditions, he would seem like such a loser, wouldn't he?), so I think I'll just try my best to pass it.

Ok so I've been a bad boy and went to play LAN with yakai jingyuan diwei and mattew (i think his name is spelled without the 'h', according to the choir camp grouping thingys). Whatever, I'll try to finish my 3 econs essays by tomorrow. HAHA.

And to all those people that think we don't see your passion for choir, you're wrong :)
We actually do :)

Sorry if I offended anyone recently, I'm feeling emo x10000 so please forgive me if I accidentally said something bad or did something to offend you :(

Movie Marathon was cool, but abit of a waste of time.
Reasons being:

1) I had already watched 3 out of 5 movies which were screened.
2) I didn't sleep at all throughout the whole thing.
3) I entered my zombie-like state at around 7am which persisted throughout breakfast at macs, until I finally got my sleep on bus 12 on the way to katong to play lan.

Oh well, other than that, it was cool to get together with some of the choir peeps and spend time together. people mainly being shukit jingyuan lipkiam huiling yakai pearlicia and bay² x2 (serene and linda LOL).

I still feel emo whenever I see her. Although I'm supposed to have 'given up', my heart seems to be pointing in the opposite direction. Yet it's so hard to pick up the pieces. It's so frustrating, bcuz I actually have alot of things to say to her, yet I can't find the courage to talk to her, or even pick up the phone. I hate myself :(

So, camp groupings are finally out today. Suffice to say, life is going to be choir, choir, and more choir for the next few weeks leading up to SYF and concert. Anyway, my practice group is quite jialat ( charlotte = jialat! :X). I'm not sure about the rest, but I seriously think we're gonna have ALOT of problems for practices. Especially with ***** around. Eh I think I will just refer to him as BFG from now on. Poor lipkiam. Poor mel wee. Poor ME. I hope we have auditions soon. It's seriously time for people to wake up and realise it's only 33 days to SYF. We haven't got much time, and we are still not up to standard. Though I think the choir has made some improvements in the 'listening to other sections' department. At least they go sharp/flat TOGETHER. which is a good thing... or not.

I'm seriously getting stressed out by choir. Though I really want to do my best, it's just frustrating at times when some people are trying sooo hard, yet others are not really bothering. Sometimes, it really makes me wanna just walk out on them during practice. Yet, I keep telling myself: I must keep my cool.

Well, I guess if someone had to snap, Jwen was one of the first few that came to my mind. Halfway through the pre-camp briefing, everyone was just talking and talking, and he just shouted something like "CAN YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP" or somewhere around there. Wasn't really sure cuz I was abit stunned. All I can say is, there's a limit to everyone's patience. Each person has a different threshold for tolerating noise. I guess the discipline was just so bad that someone was bound to snap anytime.

And SOME people are obviously unenthusiastic about choir. If you don't really enjoy coming to choir, then WHY THE FUCK did you come in the first place? Did you think it was going to be just song and fun? Did you think that we would be able to slack every other practice? If you did, then I would seriously advice you to jolly well fuck off. This year is SYF year, not to mention our upcoming concert and VOS 07 at Pattaya. Did you think that getting a Gold in the first SYF that MJChoir participated in was easy? HARD WORK is what got our seniors the gold. And it is the very same thing that leads to the success of many things in this world. If you are not going to be serious during practice, and not concentrate, then here's a 'FUCK YOU' to you. And you, and you, and you. I'm already trying my best to lead, and if you won't follow, then I have nothing to say, but Fuck You.

w/e

peace

P.S. For those who have really been trying very hard, I salute you. Thanks for all your effort, and continue to work hard :) We'll definitely get that Gold with Honours.

GO MJCHOIR!

Oh yes, my block test results. Not good at all, but justified for the amount of work I put in for block tests.

GP - E
Econs - S
H1 Chem - S
Physics - U
Maths - U

(assuming S is at 35% because the mark sheet for Econs said 35%/S grade
if not, it's Four of a Kind 'U's)

Choir was just plain shitty today.
Some stuff made me cry.
But whatever.
I'm not gonna complete my responsibilities and step down.
I have always and will do my best to ensure that this choir goes down in history.
We are the underdogs, and we will prove to the rest that we're up to it!

But first, things have got to CHANGE.
People have to change their ATTITUDE.
SYF is only ONE MONTH away.
And people are still give the fuck-care attitude?
WAKE UP guys.
It's not as easy as you think it is.
Do you think that 5 practices a week is seriously going to help, if you don't concentrate and BEHAVE PROPERLY?
What's the use of sectionals, if you don't sing out?
Sectionals are for you to CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES, and LEARN YOUR PARTS WELL.
You don't go for sectionals, come back for combined and FORGET EVERYTHING.
People keep complaining about sectionals being ineffective.
BUT HAVE YOU FUCKERS EVER THOUGHT, IF THE SL HAS GIVEN IT HIS/HER ALL, THEN WHY CAN'T YOU SING IT PROPERLY?
HAVE YOU DONE ANY SELF REFLECTION, AND THOUGHT OF WHETHER YOU HAD TALKED EVEN A LITTLE WHEN YOUR SL WAS TEACHING?
SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T FUCKING GET IT.
THEY COMPLAIN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT INEFFECTIVE SECTIONALS/COMBINED, BUT IT IS YOU FUCKERS WHO COMPLAIN THAT ARE THE ONES TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING DURING THESE SESSIONS. DO YOU FUCKING THINK IT IS FUCKING FAIR TO US SLS WHO HAVE TRIED THEIR BEST TO TEACH YOU? DO YOU THINK IT IS EASY TO TEACH? WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING GO UP AND TEACH LAR. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN TEACH BETTER THAN YOUR SL, FUCKING TELL US LAR. THEN WE LET YOU TEACH OK? THEN WHEN U CANNOT TEACH, DON'T FUCKING WHINE, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONES WHO SAID THAT SECTIONALS ARE INEFFECTIVE. YOU THINK YOU VERY PRO, THEN YOU TAKE LAR. IT'S NOT LIKE WE NEVER TRY OUR BEST RIGHT? WHO ARE YOU TO COMPLAIN, WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE NOT LISTENING TO YOUR SL, WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE DOING ALL THE SMALL TALK, WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS DISTRACTING OTHERS FROM LISTENING TO THE SL. YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TO LEARN, TO SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN SOMEONE UP THERE IS TALKING. WHETHER BE IT MR KWEI, OR MR YONG, OR ZHANG QUAN, OR MEL WEE, OR HUILING, OR ME, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING MY BEST TO DO MY JOB PROPERLY, SO WHY CAN'T YOU, AS A MEMBER, DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY TOO? TO LISTEN, TO LEARN, TO SING. ISN'T OUR CHOIR MOTTO, "WE MAKE THE MUSIC"? WHERE IS THE MUSIC WHEN YOU TALK WHILE OTHERS ARE TEACHING/SINGING. SO LEARN TO SHUT THE FUCK UP THE NEXT TIME OTHER PEOPLE ARE TALKING/SINGING. AND I THINK WE CAN MAYBE GET AT LEAST A FUCKING GOLD.

What a rant. I swear, I shall never do that ever again.

Sat was choir workshop at VJC, and honestly, I think we really more exposure. The main culprit of our flop...

Stage fright.

Obviously some people got abit worried about zao sia-ing and didn't sing out as they normally did. Though I guess it couldn't really be helped, with 3 honours choirs and present, the pressure was certainly great. I almost wanted to shout at them, but refrained from doing so cuz I knew it wouldn't be nice. Oh well, we just have to work really hard now.. >.<

Gambatte MJChoir! We can do it! :D

For all those out there who are worrying, my advice is not to worry too much :) I'll do my best to make sure we make it through SYF and get at least a Gold :):)

And so after the choir workshop, shukit, kahwee, lipkiam, huiling and I went to parkway kbox to spoil our voices! Nice little kbox session we had. After that met fanny qinglin and zijian for dinner, though I wasn't hungry and didn't eat anything. Walked over to Gaming Giants after that to meet up with keith xiaoyuan yuxin garry and jason for some overnight lan again. However, didn't get to play overnight at GG cuz the x3m ppl were tired and went home at abt 2am. We sat around outside after that, walked to Gamers Inc and H.I.G.H. to find friendly matches but unfortunately there wasn't anyone. So me, keith, jason and garry shared a cab home at around 3am. Reached home at 4am, jason came over to play abit of dota cuz he couldn't go home yet lawl. So he left at around 7am while I slept till 1pm.

Monday

Got back 2 papers today, namely Physics and GP.

Failed Physics horrbily, as expected, though my MCQ unexpectedly got 14/20 = A !! Seriously, W-T-F LOL. But my Section B was 3/60, so, no qualms there. Section C was 6/30. So a grand total of 23/120 for Physics, which puts me at roughly 20%.

GP was a little better. Gladys topped our class for Paper 1 & 2, with 28/50 and 27.5/50 for each paper respectively. As for me, 25/50 and 23.5/50 isn't too shabby either, BUT I WANT MY FREAKING D! I swear I'm gonna squeeze 1.5 marks from my comprehension no matter what.

Oh well, so that makes my current results:

Maths - U
Physics - U
H1 Chem - U
GP - E

And Econs is gonna be totally screwed too. Expecting either an S or U.

I don't think that made any sense to most people. HAHAHA. Whatever.
