30th may-1st june
Choir Camp
i guess this whole camp was a failure to me...
the first half of the first day of the so called camp was practically cut off due to the chinese 'o' levels... then for the sectionals... i dun know what to do... so i got them to sing the jazz piece and learn a bit of 'Name that Tune'... since the sec 1s dun know the song and it's a exam piece...
later on... played games... and here's the funny part... Matthew Kang spolit his pants with a hole in it... haha... it was part of my fault as well... the forefit was to write their names with their butt and so... u know for Matthew's size and his pants always seems a bit tight and therefore... yah... in the late afternoon... the drama instructor came in to teach us on some facial expressions and she exceeded the session by half an hour and we all ended up going home late...
first day gone.
second day.
morning started off with sectionals... but once again... we dun know what to do... or i dun know what to do... so matthew played his animation vcd and everybody started watching it and others started playing pocker cards... it was then until when miss chang came in and she called mr ng then we know what to do...
then noel get the choir to sing the 1st page of ave verrum corpus... and then we stopped due to the latin words that are so difficult to pronounce and also we dun have the mood to go on anyway... and then it was games and lunch...
late afternoon miss choo came in... she's kind of pissed with us due to the sop 1s unable to count their notes properly and we... not able to putting in the effort to sing... i was being 'sabo' by noel when miss choo asked what we did for the first day... but she also didn't said anything much... rehearsal with miss choo ended in a rather displeased mood... then the drama instructor came in again for her last session... but i wasn't into that 'enthu' mood... so just put up a fake show...
second day gone.
finally... last day of camp... miss choo came in early in the morning for rehearsal... wasn't pleased with us again... the singing was pathetic... really pathetic... what's worst that we even got to have people to record the playing of the music so that we can sing in tune and on beat!
then went lunch... it was at 1pm that time... i actually received news that choir camp was supposed to end at 1pm... but i didn't want to break the news... because i know that they will fleed once the rehearsal ended... and so i kept them back for almost 2 hours...
i talked to them... was nearly in tears... but i held it back...
to current amkss choir:
i dun know what's going on in ur minds now... whether u dun want to sing or u dun know how to sing... i dun know... but u have to tell me... i need ur to tell me why ur are not opening ur mouths and sing... i am not scolding ur... i'm just asking for a reason... that's all... i am just disappointed... my worstest fears came... with the sec 4s leaving us and we are left unsupported... this is the amkss choir now... i am speechless and ashamed when i see other ccas doing so well even without the sec 4s... my first time as a president... i dun know if i could go on leading this choir... please people... i am asking for ur help... asking for ur support...
so after my talk to them... i asked them to write down a reflection based on what i've just said... i've got very negative comments and positive comments... but i'm taking both very seriously... with one in particular...
to that person:
i dun wish to address ur name because i think u know who u are... as a friend... i'm very disappointed in what u had done... it made me lost faith and trust in u... i dun know whether i can still see u as my friend or enemy... i just can't believe that u are doing such a thing behind people's back... but i can tell u that choir is about every people thing... it is not about a one person thing... u gotta to put in effort and commit in this cca... whatever it is... i am so disappointed in u...
okies... now for something light...
2nd june
Rehearsal with pasir ris primary + tas
rehearsal with pasir ris primary school was fun... seeing all the socks high up to knees, huge spectacles, plaited hair and high-pitch voice just bring me memories of my primary school days... singing was exhausting... i'm currently holding my line on my own... coz gerrie is away for holidays... tiring... and some notes are just too slow that i can hardly reached... hai... looks like i gotta practice more!
after rehearsal... i rushed back for tuition... but was late by half and hour... here's the funny part... when i entered the room... the teacher and one of the guy tuition mates stare at me... i guess for a two reasons...
1. i was dressed nicely for once...
with a giordano v-neck tee and a 3/4 pants... unlike my usual baggy and old pants with old tee shirts... haha...
2. i was late for half an hour...
this is just my thoughts... it's kinda of lame actually...
i'm just feeling this sense of guilt towards people...
1. miss choo
as a choir president... i was unable to lead the choir properly... on singing and their behaviour... sorry...
2. david chan
i was unable to help in participating for the filming thing... i want to... thinking that it will be so fun... but my weekends are filled with performance and rehearsals... sorry...
3. my choir committee members
sorry that i've got most of ur stressed up... i swear the i will plan the next choir camp properly!
