profile Walking by faith is something easy to say, but hard to do especially when things don't go as planned. But we try all the same, and I'm no exception. This blog is in some ways cathartic, in others a means for me to pen my thoughts and struggles as I walk this life and learn to trust God more with each passing day. tag archives May 2004 June 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 friends and credits skin by: Jane |

bardolino, my home. Alright alright. Bardolino, my pseudo home. (Its the town we stayed in while we were in Verona) I can't blog much now cos it's late in the night and there's council camp for the next three days starting tomorrow. But a picture speaks a thousand words, and I have hundreds of them uploaded on www.tengahdai.shutterfly.com, so you can go view them ya? Added a few comments in the first few pictures but didn't do so for the rest (too many already!), so I'm hoping the pics will speak for themselves. If I were to sum the whole trip into a sentence, it'll be this: It was the best overseas trip I have been to, simply because I learnt so much, and at the same time had lots of fun with my dear choir mates. okay gtg! - missing bardolino Saturday, April 15, 2006 @ 12:00 AM
runaway No, I'm not planning to run away from Singapore by flying to Italy this monday. Know The Corrs? It's one of their old songs, and I'm playing it on loop in my head and on the computer. Apparently Mav and Mel don't think its fantastic after I forced them to listen to it before pe yesterday at the canteen, but oh well. Tastes differ. =D Its... (sticks out right hand and counts, emphatically) TWO more days before I embark on the trip of a lifetime. And its not hyperbole I'm employing to emphasis my point, because I really do think its THE trip of a lifetime. Probability, brave new world, superposition and glucose can fly to some ulu place in my brain for the whole of next week, because I am going to cherish every moment I spend with the friends whom company I truly enjoy. Plus at the same time, get to know the alto, bass and tenor juniors more. This is so exciting. If I were a tad less reserved this entry will be filled with capital letters, exclaimations and smileys. Anyhow, I have a good feeling about the competition. Miss Lim and the teachers were very pleased with how we sounded at the last practice, and I could practically feel the drive to which we sang our 5 songs with. NJC choir, we can do this!

salve! Our tour agent for Verona came after practice yesterday to brief us on the trip. Apparently the place wasn't what I dreamed it would be. 1. Food is terrible. (or so she says) 2. Theives will fill the streets. Professional some more. 3. Things are so expensive your jaw will drop. 4. The people there are friendly, but we must be wary of offending them. It was pretty clear what was expected on the trip. No monkey business. But I can't shake off the feeling that the briefing made the trip seem like some military camp where we'd have to be wary of everything we do. I thought over it last night, and I suppose they made the briefing that way, so we wouldn't have the impression that Verona is as safe as Singapore. Nonetheless it really doesn't mean we can't have fun. The friends I love being with will be there with me, so why worry? That aside, I'm trying to contain my excitement for the fact that I'll be leaving for a place that's miles and miles away from bukit panjang. And mav! How can you not be excited about rooming with me for a week??! hahaha. More blogging, soon! Monday, April 03, 2006 @ 11:25 PM
=D Soundscape was a blast. Every minute from the time it started - I enjoyed myself, be it rushing from one end of the backstage to another and pulling neptune's act together, listening to the other groups charm the crowd; and somehow when we got scolded for being unprofessional at the interval, I wasn't too bothered. The things happiness can do to you. Two weeks exactly to Verona - barely a few practices before we head off to compete against so many choirs from all over the world. Are we ready for it? If you ask me, I'd say we aren't, yet. But we will be. From our batch of chorusters I sense this subtle determination and drive; things are definitely picking up, and I'm once again rubbing my hands in anticipation. This time I think its not just anticipation, but sheer anticipation. Talentime's popping by this friday too! And how can i forget? The common tests will be back to haunt me. arrrghhhh. Nonetheless, still a term to look forward to. Despite the threat of chaos. |
