Tonight was an unforgettable night. It was my swan's performance (Last performance) for this year. Well, I came back to school in the afternoon to do some choir-related things.. Let's cut things short and go straight to Speech Day. Well, Ms Elim Chew was the Guest-Of-Honour of the year. She was probably the most down-to-earth GOH that I've ever known. As the managing director and founder of 77th Street, she let us watch some breakdancing. She talked and I was listening attentively. What she said had really make sense. After that, she gave out 77th Street vouchers to people who came up on stage. It meant that no matter what items you buy in any 77th Street chain stores, it only costs $5. Very cool indeed. Of course, many people took it.. I was kinda surprised that Feng Wei went up to take it. The voucher was certainly attractive. But I didn't want to take. After that, she talked about the 3 types of people, opportunities and so on. When it was the Prize-Giving ceremony, I was kinda happy and nervous. When I went up on stage, she smiled at me and I smiled back. She said: "Waa, your English so good. Keep it up." I immediately replied: Thanks. It's my honour to meet you. We smiled again and received the prize from her and shook hands and I gave her a light bow before bowing a Japanese bow towards the audience. I had a very good impression of Ms Chew. After walking down the stage, I went to the lecture room to prepare for singing. Choir was the first to go on stage and we recieved loud clappings from the audience. We sang Resonemus Laudibus and Potong Padi respectively. It was nice. But I was sweating all over. It went to my eyes and my mouth.. Yeah, disgusting you may say, but we performers need to have stage manners.. So I couldn't wipe it off. Something interesting happened. When finishing the last song, immediately after we sang "Pa-di!" A balloon bursts and caused a loud noise. It was perfect timing indeed. Too coincidental. It sparked off a loud round of applause. After performing, we went to the AVA room.. Well, it was very sad. Alot of choristers were crying because the sec 4s were leaving.. Tonight was the last performance of the sec 4s. Yeah, we cut the cake, took alot of pictures.. Most of the girls were crying and some of the boys too.. I was crying in my heart but I didn't want to show it out. I hugged alot of my choir mates.. We were quite sad.. It was like a sad atmosphere.. But after that, we thank Mr Francis Liew and the teachers.. And we ate the packet of dinner they provided. After that, all of us went home.. I was wearing my choir costume.. Oh god, I was in the centre of attraction in the public.. Gosh.. How I wish I could teleport back home. Anyway, I asked the feedback of some of my friends and they said the choir did a very good job. The songs were nice but they did not understood what we were singing. It's ok.. at least you guys enjoyed the performance.. :) Some even said they could hear my voice loud and clear.. even though they were far.. Hehe I am so happy tonight.. Alright, I am feeling very tired.. Gotta stop here.. God bless and take care..Thanks for reading.


I would like to thank the following:

Mr Francis Liew
Mdm Tay
Mdm Wee
Mrs Lee
And a chinese teacher-in-charge of choir.
The choristers..and alot more and those whom I knew. My swan's performance wouldn't be successful without you guys help. Thanks alot. Oh, I really hope to meet Ms Elim Chew again. She's a good role model. Well, for her entreprenial success of course! =)


OH, THANKS A MILLION FOR READING! =D

It was a good day indeed. My English composition came in 1st in class. I wasn't expecting this, since the last time, Mr Malvin Lim said Julianna's compo was the best so far.. However, my skills of English essay had got me the place of being first. Finally, my credibility will speak for myself. Now, I am trying to find more suitable words to widen my vocabulary. I've got to admit that the reading log is very useful.. I am trying to improve even better or at least keep on the standard.. Anyway, after school, I had to stay back for the Speech Day.. felt so tired.. Mr Francis Liew came today and we ran through the songs..Bass gone horribly wrong.. I am looking forward to this friday, Speech Day.. 77th Street Managing Director, Ms Elim Chew (Hope I spell it correctly.) was our Guest-Of-Honour.. Gets to shake her hand.. :D Alright gotta stop here.. So sad.. couldn't log in to Friendster.. :( Anyway, God bless and take care.. Best wishes to everyone..

I couldn't blog yesterday because I was way too tired and I was knocked out immediately after I hit the bed. Well yesterday, we had a great time in Escape Theme Park. I played nearly every ride but for 1 ride, it was on maintenance check for the whole day so we couldn't play.. Other rides were fun, except that someone vomitted while in the Pirate Ship. We also played rides like Alpha 8 (Panasonic). Very cool, and there was this caucasian, who was inside the theatre and he came out and said to us : "Hello, my name's Harry." We replied : " Well, my name's potter.. We had a great laugh.. Anyway, Mr Chin made a surprise trip from Australia to Singapore, just to watch NV Symphonic Band. He came to Escape Theme Park with us and had a great time, screaming his head off for some rides.. Mr and Mrs Yap were present too.. They were so lovey-dovey.. I talked to Mr Yap about his occupation, and could see he was quite friendly.. Anyway, Mr Chin, Mr and Mrs Yap went early.. and the others stayed till quite late.. We had our dinner at the food court and we went to Hougang Plaza to play lan.. After that, some of us went home while some stayed and played for a while..I was so tired.. And today, I woke up at around 10am and we had to pray our ancestors at the Lim Chu Kang Cemetery. The weather was surprisingly cool, not as hot as last year, when the blazing sun was scorching. At night, I was kinda tired after watching the NKF Charity Show.. I saw how poor some of them were.. and I felt that God was so unfair.. It's ironic that God gave me a good life, yet I am 'saying' him.. Despite all the efforts the artistes showed, I called only 2 times.. Alright, gotta stop here.. felt kinda tired.. All the best. Best wishes and God bless everyone!

Some things happened today. During elective history class, Julianna fainted. She was standing when she suddenly collapsed and the table toppled. The class was shocked.. and the other girls and me helped Julianna up. Some said she didn't exercise and she was on diet. Because of that, she felt weak and fainted. But she's alright now. I had my chinese test but I didn't had the time to finish it. WHat's more, today's English comprehension, I just couldn't concentrate and finish it cos' the class was way too noisy. Argh, I was so pissed off. Anyway, 2 of the performing arts had got back their results. Modern Dance got glamourous gold while Band obtained a shimmering silver. Band wasn't quite pleased and most of the girls cried.. All I can say is that, don't be sad. At least you guys didn't deprove. Don't think too much about it. Last but not least, congratulations to Modern Dance for clinching the Gold award. The last performing art is Drama. All the best.


The results of SYF 2005 for North Vista Performing Arts:
(In alphabetical order)

Band obtained SILVER
Choir obtained SILVER
Chinese Dance obtained GOLD WITH HONOURS
Drama obtained ??? (Results released in a later date.)
Modern Dance obtained GOLD

Today, woke up early in the morning.. than went to school for speech day..I was one of the prize winners and we had to do the walking up and down procedure. After that, choir sang and it was a break.. Whoa, I was utterly impressed by Tisa.. 4 straight years for getting the best in English Language for Express. Wow! Way too cool.. Hope to make friends with her and learn more from her.. After school, I went for D&T but Mr Lim asks us to do it at home so I had nothing to do.. so I went to English remedial.. After that, went to Jun Ping's house to do some work.. K la, that's all for today.I am so tired.. Gotta stop here.. have a nice day and best wishes..

Firstly, my sincere apologies for not blogging, mainly because of my computer. It had started to give me problems and I couldn't log in to Friendster and other websites. Let's just hope I will get a new computer by the end of this month. Anyway, I was very pissed off with a classmate of mine, over money. He kept on promising that he will return back but in the end he did not. And I had to fork out the money to the other friend just to pay. Imagine paying money from your own pocket without doing anything wrong. Totally ludicrous/ridiculous. I had learnt NOT to lend people money when they don't pay up. I despise them. It's not that I am calculating or petty but it's just that, if you relent, he will continue to climb over your head. From now on, I will carefully decide who I will lend to from now. I was on clouds nine, nonetheless. I won an "award" for being the top for English Language and was going to receive it on Speech Day. Cool, but it's going to be busy for me, as Choir had to perform on that day as well. It's going to be an unforgettable night for me, I guess. Anyway, I stayed back after school with some of my female friends to do D&T folio. Work alot and talk alot. Haha.. After that, I realised the teachers were playing some ball game.. I heard it was to keep the teachers fit, and I saw some familiar teachers playing. Alright.. I gotta stop here.. I hope its possible for me to update daily. My wishes to everyone and God bless.


Firstly, I would like to congratulate the Chinese Dance for clinching the Gold award with honours. It was certainly impressive and I felt happy for you girls.. Hehe.. continue to work hard k? Also, all the best to the other performing arts, namely : Band, Modern Dance, Drama as they were to compete either on the next 3 days..



Secondly, I would like to say that the Sound Of Music musical was certainly a good one.. If you got the time and money, and a fan of the world's beloved musical, I certainly encourage you to go. It's definitely worthwhile and unforgettable. They're in Singapore from 8 April to 30 April. (No, I ain't promoting the musical. I am encouraging you guys to watch it.)


Last but not least, this is for someone, I would like to say, I had given up on you. I don't have the patience to wait for you anymore. I've got my exams coming soon and I am extremely active in Choir. Girl, I prefer to blame it on fate and whether if I will have a BGR in the near future, my answer is no. Perhaps when I graduated, I'll rely on nature to take its course.

Early in the morning, I felt so fresh and well. Well, I was still happy over the clinch of the Silver Award. During school, Mr Lim, (Our principal) announced that Choir had won the Silver Award in SYF. We felt so proud. Well, perhaps the limelight should now be given to other performing arts as they compete in SYF. Anyway, Mdm Tay was absent so there was no Chinese lesson. During P.E lesson, we were to run 2.4km around the school. So I started preparing myself to run. I knew I was going to fail, but I decided to go with a positive attitude. I ran with my classmates..as you guys know I am not that fit, I was struggling. As I struggle, memories of SYF flashed across my mind. I keep on running and running. My body was killing me. I feel like dying. I was in pain and I tried my best. Mr William Goh had said if I wants to reach in 20 mins, I will reach in 20 mins. I want to pass. I want to. I tried. During the finishing line, I lost to Janna Marican and Adilah by a mere 10 seconds. I came in 9th. I was in pain and I felt terrible. I went to the water cooler to drink and after quite some time, I felt much better, but I was physically drained and weak. I couldn't play badminton in recess. No strength. Anyway, during D&T lesson, we did quite alot of things. After school, some of us went to Heartland Mall to take neoprints and had lunch there. The shoot was so ugly. After that, Jason and Chee wei went back to school for band and Jeremy accompany me to the fish mart to do some *fish shopping*. After that we went home.. I feel so happy, I will be attending the Sound Of Music performance tomorrow for free! Of course is the cheapest tickets, the organisers had decided to sponsor us because we participated at the Sound Of Music competition.. Tomorrow sure reach home very late.. alright... gonna stop here, I still need to do my reading log. So busy for SYF until no time.. haizz, oh well, God bless and best wishes to everyone.

I blog especially early because I was on clouds nine. Overjoyed. North Vista Chorale achieved a Silver Award for SYF Central Judging 2005.

Well, I woke up at around 4.30am but suddenly doze off until 5am. I bathed and did all the necessities. After eating my breakfast and putting on my contact lenses, I rushed to school. Luckily, I managed to catch up with the bus and reached school at 5.50am. We did some stretching exercises and warm ourselves up. After that, we went to change into our costumes. God, I was forced to put on make-up after that.. Argh.. Anyway, we went through our songs with Mr Francis Liew and after that, we board the bus to go to Singapore Conference Hall. When we reached our destination, we went to the toilet and than to the waiting room. Mr Yong (Did I spell it correctly?) (Vice-Principal) was also in the room. We did our final brush up and going through all the scores thoroughly, before the judging begins. Mr Yong pat me in my back and wished me good luck. Than, the awaited time begun. There are around 3 choirs watching us in the front row and the 4 respected judges are in the upper row. Some came from United Kingdom, Indonesia, etc. Ms Lim started giving the notes for the set piece, Sunset, while Mr Liew conduct.. We sang through all of them. Sunset, Resonemus Laudibus and Potong Padi. After the singing, we received loud applause. We walk down through those doors and begin to get seated to watch 5 choirs. Well, we watch North View Sec, Catholic High, Bukit Batok Sec, Bedok View Sec and I forgot the other one. However, Catholic High was the best among all. They were a Gold boys choir conducted by Mr Nelson Kwei.. They sang very well, doing all the dynamics very well. Their soprano was so.. I am speechless. One of them were someone I knew, he was in the Singapore Lyrics Opera and we lost to them in the Sound Of Music.. Needless to say, they got Gold with honours for SYF. Anyway, some of the pieces other choir used for SYF were what we learned before.. After watching 5 choirs.. most of us had to returned back to school for lessons, and committee members were allowed to stay back for the results.. We were quite anxious.. We returned to school and we received alot of attention. We changed back to our costumes and went to the canteen for food. Suddenly while we were eating, some of the girls started screaming. North Vista Chorale had achieved Silver. Some cried.. we felt happy. You know, being the first in among the performing arts to go SYF is a stressed thing, back to the fact that some had lost their voice or affected it in last week's Sec 3 camp. And a few days later, we had to go to SYF. The whole canteen were filled with happiness and joy. We felt good, and happy. After that, the news spread like wildfire. Of course there are some people who talked bad about choir, but I talked back with sarcasm..

I've heard that some band members said "If Choir get silver, Band sure get Gold." Well, I seriously condemn that sentence. Every performing art has it's own judging criteria. And in the eyes of some band members, they look down on Choir. They seemed to forget that Choir got an International Silver back ago and only cared what we achieved on the SYF Central Judging 2002. Which is Bronze. Well, don't get too over-confident or you will make mistakes. All the best for SYF though. We remains friends but not foes.

Congratulations to Shermaine (my cousin) on your school, Tanjong Katong Sec achieving Gold with honour.. I feel so happy for you.. Anyway, I heard that in the SYF 2002, Yio Chu Kang Secondary Choir got Gold but yesterday, they got a bronze. Utter disbelief right?

Last but not least, I would like to thank those people including, graduating seniors, Mr Yong for making the effort to come and support us. You guys believed in us and we made it. For the better. Thank you God, for my prayers were answered. Thank you, my reader for spending time reading. God bless you and everyone in the world. My sincere wishes.

Once in a blue moon will I be blogging at such a time. Well, I didn't update yesterday because I was way too tired. I woke at at 4.30am and had to go for choir sectionals. I was dead beat. Today, my body was aching all over and I had a terrible flu which I got yesterday.. probably from the weather..I had no mood in whatever I did today.. Very inactive.. Worse still, my flu had affected my voice. So I did nothing but keep on drinkning LOTS of water. Today at classes, I would try to sleep whenever the teacher isn't looking. Way too tired. Miraculously, I managed to survive the day. I've still got to wake up at 4am tomorrow and now I still got homework to do... If tomorrow's results doesn't pay off, all our efforts will be down the drain. Thanks Mr Malvin Lim for the 'encouragement'. Hope Choir will get the results they longed to get. K la.. gotta stop here.. my eyes already closing.. need to eat dinner tha go sleep.. haizzz God bless Choir and you, my reader. God bless everyone and best wishes!!!!

This is for you, North Vista Chorale:

I can see it in the stars across the sky,
I dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before now I finally realize,
You see I've waited all my life, for this moment to arrive,
And finally, yeah yeah yeah

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacles
Won't let this dream fall apart
You see I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Because anything is possible
When you believe!


Choristers, believe in Mr Liew, believe in North Vista Chorale. Together, we can make a difference and prove the world. God bless North Vista Chorale!

Sunday, April 03, 2005

It's been 3 days since I've updated my blog. Well, alot of things had happened and I don't have the time to update. Today had happened alot of things. Early in the morning, I turned up late for choir. Jason Sia (Tenor Sectional Leader) called my handphone and I quickly rush to school without brushing my teeth and having breakfast. Luckily, when I reach school, Mr Liew did not scolded me and was in a good mood. However something happened. I don't wish to name which sections. Mr Liew was in a foul mood and 1-2 sections didn't follow him, pissing him off. He just left with Ms Lim. I was utterly surprised. It was clearly bad.. Technically speaking the last practice and yet he just left. He's giving us another chance on Monday. We have to prove it to him. We have to. Immediately after he left, there were some heated arguments among choir members. Luckily it subsided and Shi Hui tried to take over for an hour before letting us go. After that, I stayed at home for a while before I met Jun Ping and the others for a movie. We watched The Eye 10 at 7.30pm.. Some had prolonged the time until late evening. But there are some interesting events. Quite a few people bought very cool bags.. Each costs $45.. After buying the bags we went to play arcade.. before watching The Eye 10. The movie was like.. some laughter and horror. I would give it 4 over 5. An impressively good movie. After the movie, some people had to go home..And those who stayed behind wanted to eat dinner. We went to the coffeeshop next to Parco Bugis Junction. When we tried to have a seat, there was this awful stench. Later did we realise it was the smelly beancurd next to the coffeeshop. After we eat our dinner (we changed seats), Jeremy suggested we eat the smelly beancurd. We challenged. And we bought it. The smell was like watery stools.. I was going to puke anytime.. The smelly beancurd came in 10 small pieces. I was the first to try. When I put the beancurd into my mouth, the stench filled my mouth and my nostrils were breathing that awful smell. Honestly, it taste 'kinda' good except for its odour. The last one to eat was Zi Cai. He chickened out, but we manage to persuade him to take one. Everyone of us tried. I admit it was really like putting watery shit into your mouth. But great experience rite? It's a delicacy in Taiwan. After that we went to the nearby 7-11 to buy some sweets. Even as I write this, my mouth still had that stench of smelly beancurd odour. I rinse my mouth but it's still there. Hopefully tomorrow, it will be gone. After eating smelly beancurd, we went to the MRT and went straight home. Gotta stop here.. All the best and God bless. Best wishes..




I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart.
Overcome any obstacles,
Won't let this dream fall apart.
You see I strive to be the very best,
Shine my light for all to see.
Because anything is possible,
When you believe.

Choir members still don't give up hope. We prove to the world that we can make it, get the results we want. Let us be motivated and inspired! All the best for North Vista Chorale this upcoming wednesday for SYF Central Judging. Let us work together, together we can make a difference!
