in the last few days, i have been in malacca with vs choir. at first i was rather reluctant to go, but after some prompting from bing xing and the rest, i went along and joined them lah.
i cant really remember the details, so this is what i can recall myself and the choir doing in the last couple of days.
on the first day, we assembled in school at around 7am. my dad helped me save the trouble of taking a bus with my bulky luggage and fetched me to school. reaching school, i promised to sms him every day during the trip. which i did. the choir was hanging around the foyer, around the spiral starcase. waited for so long, then miss lau came and handed over the passports. gave myself quite a shock when i lost mine near the stairs. i called so many pple over to help look for it, then discovered it was in my file. XD oops...then at around 7.30 we left school for the malacca watercity resort. i dont really like jeans. so tight. spent most of my time on the bus reading part two of the 'his dark materials' trilogy, the subtle knife. jonathan (our chairman) also read the series and he told me his parents banned him from reading the books at first as they thought it was 'anti-christ'. the book is quite innocent really, except for the side plot which has something to do with original sin.
we stopped at jaya jusco shopping mall for lunch, which was about a 10-15 minute drive away from our destination. combed the whole place (which only had 3 storeys, bless the poor deprived malaysian shoppers) and finally settled on fried rice at a foodcourt. the malaysian system of ordering food was very different from singapore. you had to get a ticket from the counter, queue up at the cashier (which was located somewhere else) to pay, then return the reprinted ticket to the stall, which would give you your food. then pok thong told me to look at the cashier's nametag. SYUKRI HAHAHAHA...
one and a half hours later we were at the resort for the first time. the rooms werent bad at all. it was exactly almost like a HDB flat, just that 6 people shared one apartment, two people to a room. tv stations were satisfactory, but our rooms didnt have star movies, which were showing all the good movies at that time. we only had cinemax. discovery travel and living was not bad too, i watched project runway at 9pm. sadly, the cute girl was eliminated. anyway, in my apartment there was leon and syukri, me and clarence, and eugene and yi xuan. bad thing was, the teachers' apartment was right next to ours. ... ... ...
the first nights' concert was the christmas one. had the most fun singing together with the whole room. one of the schools also performed O Holy Night. think it was bowen sec. i really love that song. its so peaceful. check out the avril lavigne version. we also performed gaude maria with anderson jc choir.
the next day we were...err...mostly practicing and had a workshop with joshua habermann. he wasnt bad actually. very soft spoken. he kinda looked like my friend's father, who is french. crrredu een deuum. i just cant get that phrase out of my head. LOL. pok thong likes to say it 'creto in teum'. anyway, the night's concert was not bad, except that we really rushed for the songs. especially wawaki. we must learn to control our nerves. seriously. hopefully the sec ones get more stage exposure and learn to control themselves on stage. singing requires a calm body and a balanced mind (the latter i totally lack lol). after the concert i went back to the room, and met gabriel who was going to robin's room. went along and robin answered the door with a really funny pose and a gay voice (sorry eric). after some hysterical laughter we entered the apartment, and robin was suddenly joined by TWO MORE ERICS. hysterical laughter. then jonathan teo opened his mouth to talk in eric's voice. hysterical laugher. then the two erics started blaming sherman for the gay voice. hysterical laughter. then sherman gave up and joined in. hysterical laughter, this time with me collapsing against the floor using my fist to bang the floor. then attempted to play just ONE round of dai ti with the three erics. failed miserably laughing with gabriel. its really amazing how they can keep a straight face while still doing the voice. then the REAL eric came out of the room looking furious LOL. then gabriel and i ran (yes, RAN) out of the apartment in fear of dying of suffocation from severe laughter. met johnnie and terry and frederick outside the apartment. frederick dyed his hair. gold.
too tired to type already...i will leave the third day for tmr lah or sth...
in my absense, i have collated a list of good songs with good videos. please take some time to look through...
