Oops.

Just in case you were wondering how my performance went: It went okay but I was just too nervous. I did a solo performance without any background music. I couldn't hear myself but I guess people could tell that I was nervous. There were many fantastic performances on my performance day. Ha! It's unlucky in a way? There were some nice comments but I dunno if they were trying to be nice or did I sound quite good. But what I do know is that I forgotten some lyrics (almost the whole chorus) which I didn't tell anybody and nobody knew as I covered it up quite well. I skipped a few sentences and only those who knew the song quite well will be able to know.

I campaigned for the welfare officer post for drama. I was given 2 mins but I didn't prepare any script so I guess my speech lasted for about 30s? Which was highly unusual as unlike others, I didn't go all out to campaign for my cause. I dunno if I should feel disappointed or anything but I think that I won't be too upset if I didn't get the post also. Maybe it's because it's quite alien to me. But I hope Champio gets the post that she wants as she is up against strong competiton.

Yes, so I'm running for welfare officer for the drama club. This will be my first time and I don't know what to do! A bit shy to campaign in front of others though. Well, I have to have thicker skin for this week. Coz I'm singing in 3 days time. I hope nothing goes wrong and I won't be so nervous. Haiz. Anybody who wants to come down and watch can do so. Hahahahaha. Meanwhile, I should think of what I shoud do for my campaign.

The First 3 Weeks of School

Exactly 1 more week till my turn to sing. I witnessed quite a handful of pro singers today. Haiz. I hope that I won't be too nervous next week. Hahaha....

My first lab session last friday was a disaster. I failed to get the ppt that I'm supposed to get. In the end, I spent 2 hours walking around the lab, 'monitoring' my friends. Thankfully my friends 'donated' some of their ppt to me. Haiz. Nevertheless, I spent the rest of the day berating myself. Haiz.

I've joined the drama club and there's an interview tomorrow for main comm position. I've decided to actively partcipate in a cca this year. I'm thinking of learning the violin from the school's string orchestra. The only problem is that it is being held on Saturdays. Oh well, I guess it requires a certain level of committment. I'm also thinking of joining film society. But my only problem is that I see no point staying back in school to watch movies. Haiz.

I'm taking 17AUs for this sem only. Nevertheless, it's gonna be a tough semester as I will be learning a new language, that is, Korean and I'm taking biz, which I'm not too enthusiastic about going for lectures on friday evenings. On top of the much harder chem courses. As usual, I'm procrastinating when it comes to revising my work. Haiz. But school's been fun lately apart from lab. Before today, I was actually looking forward for the singing lesson. I remembered how much I loved music lessons when I was in primary and secondary school. And of course band practice. And hence, me contemplating to take up the violin. I've come to reason with myself that taking up new things can be very hard and even discouraging sometimes, but once you get the hang of it, you'll come to love it. And as time goes by, you can look back and marvel over the wonderful decision of picking up a new skill (like what I did with the flute). I can just remember how I told myself that I had made a big mistake joining the band after the first lesson in sec 1. Hahaha.

Attending GV17 (the music course) feels like attending a band practice again. The same things were said like crescendo, controlling your air, sitting posture. Yeah, GV17 is a hell lot of fun coz the best part is that we get to watch you tube. However, it dawned onto me that the tutor and I have very different musical influences. I'm influenced by the American Idol sort of way, rearranging music so that it sounds original ( the stuff that Simon Cowell always say) but the class is more towards opera maybe? I'm not too sure myself. Maybe that's why I'm finding it hard to get a minus one of my song choice as I'm influenced by the AI style. Unfortunately, they dun have minus ones. Haiz. Maybe I shoud sing without the minus one, that is, acapella. But I'm not that confident as I don't have a flawless voice. Haiz.

I've been thinking of picking up another instrument lately. The VIOLIN. from the school of course. But it will be on SATURDAYS... Double sighs. Picking up an instrument (just like Korean language) is hard. Lots of time and struggle. Haiz. Just like how I'm struggling after 1 korean lesson.

I had a relaxing first week in school, still vexing over what song I should sing to the class... Haiz..
Went out with Clara and Tabby yesterday to give Clara's belated birthday presents. Afterwhich, we went to Mandarin hotel's toilet to cam-whore. Just when we were enjoying ourselves, someone had to come in.. Haiz... So we panicked and Tab dropped her camera. That was the end of the session (it was unfortunately the highlight of the day), aside from Tab's shocking relevation (to Clara at least)... Hahahaha...

Pictures coming up as soon as I finish my biz tutorial. Haiz.

8/8/08

On this very special day, I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed at 2pm to attend a 2hr lecture. Had originally planned not to go but I shall not go into the details...

On this very special day, I had dinner with Champion at the Quad. I tried the seafood claypot rice which I wanted to do long time ago but it was a disappointment. It was in soup form which was totally unexpected.

School has been okay thus far but I guess I'm still stuck in the holiday mood. I managed to get the singing module that I have coveted since last semester and to my horror, I found out that I have to perform a few weeks from now (which I shan't specify...) Hahaha... Just in case I embarass myself... I have a few song choices in mind but I dunno if it will suit me. But the good thing is, I can invite anyone, just anyone from anywhere (including family members) to sing with me for the test aka presentation. So who's willing to sig with me? Please let me know so that we can have some practice sessions. Hahahahaha......

I'm glad that I don't have school on Monday... Hahaha...
