*[[ Rockapella Concert! :) ]]*

okay my previous post was definitely something I regretted almost immediately after posting it... didn't want to post it at first because it really made me sound as if I was engaging in the process of self-pity or probably yearning for others' sympathy or something... but nvr mind, decided to leave it as it is coz a blog is just for pouring out some of my inner thoughts at that moment anyway... haha, and yeah I must tell you it felt GOOD after I poured everything out because that LONG paragraph of words really looked so compact and manageable after I posted it up! lol... yeah I guess I don't really mean what I meant... coz really, why should I be complaining when others are struggling to study for their major national examinations like the 'O's and 'A's? I really didn't realise how my situation could only get as bad as I thought it could be... and frankly, a different perspective to the situation makes all the difference... haha yup so I really shouldn't worry about TOMORROW when I have enough to cope with for TODAY... I should really just find joy in every little thing I do and soon I'll find more meaning in them... and feel more fulfilled... after all, God has placed all these things in my life for a purpose anyway... =)

8ROCKAPELLA CONCERT7

WOOO! I'm really glad that my 'wish' came true... haha... You know what? A while back around June, I actually emailed Rockapella requesting them to come to Singapore! LOL... and this was the reply I received:

"Thanks for your enthusiasm for Rockapella. However, you should realize that a musical group doesn't just show up at a venue and start singing. Instead they have to be invited to the venue by the local presenter at that venue, who agrees to pay the group their expenses and performance fees, and also agrees to promote the concert and sell tickets for it. In exchange the presenter gets to keep whatever money is left over after the concert takes place (or gets to receive lots of accolades from the community if the organization he or she works for happens to be non-profit).
"Accordingly you should be trying to persuade local presenters that an investment in a Rockapella concert is a great idea for their organization. They should then contact Rockapella's booking agent -- see the info in the Contact section of the website about how to do so. Thanks for writing and best wishes."

Gosh and now that they're actually here after 4.5 months, it's really a MIRACLE! HAHA... I enjoyed the concert to my utmost and I believe so did Suet and Ziyuan, despite the fact that 3 of us sat separately. It felt so surreal just listening to these 5 wonderful voices conveying more than just music, especially after a tiring day of crappy choir practice where all you hear are airy-fairy SOUNDS. So yeah, the contrast is so stark till Ziyuan's first sentence to me when he got out of the esplanade theatre was "I don't want to go to Penang anymore"... well...sigh... I guess HC choir's sound really needs great improvement... many many many people need individual voice-training... coz our voices are SO DIFFERENT seriously... Don't compare to Rockapella, just compare to NJ choir! yeah so vocal training is really needed, otherwise we'll never be able to blend well and sound as ONE UNIT, ONE CHOIR... as for musicality, once we have achieved that blending, I think we'll be able to bring out our emotions more naturally after that...

hmmm okay, 1 more day to Penang! Although we know that we wouldn't be putting up that impressive a performance as we should, I just hope that this will be a great learning experience for us all! An EXPOSURE that will be a stepping stone for HC choir towards SYF 2007! =)
