Every morning, the choir sings before assembly. I'm sure everyone in the school knows that by now. The original idea was to practice during common breaks to improve our songs for competition. But now we do it during breaks + mornings. At first, practicing on our own really did help, we learnt a lot from the j2s, and we had a lot of fun as well, laughing at stupid mistakes and crappy stuff that we did. Well, haha, I guess now it's still fun, but I really wonder what the purpose of practicing so much is now. Every time we meet, I know there are only 2 ways the session can go, having organized and co-ordinated so many. One is we have fun singing together, the camaraderie- with people who all love singing to express ourselves. But I realize we don't learn much, or really improve. And that's usually the case. Now, when I ask them for a song to sing, it's not really- "Let's sing this because we need to improve", but "Let's sing this because it's a fun song, or it's my favourite song". As a j1, I know we all sing to the standard of 'good enough to please our seniors', but we still have fun together. So now, what's the point? Are we waking up earlier everyday to make our seniors happy and psychologically influence them to think that we do very well during rehearsals? Or do we in the first place? To tell the truth, we don't give our best during these informal practices. Even I find myself out of focus sometimes. I know we can do, because we have done it. But only during rehearsals, when we don't really have a choice but to do well in front of our instructor. But then again, if we become too serious, the practices may lose their fun. The reason for wanting to do it will be different, but still positive, if you consider having fun good. But if we tell them directly, let's sing with our best efforts and strive to improve each time, must concentrate, must do it correctly, must remember what the instructor told us, cannot make the same mistakes. Lines heard all too often. Then I can literally feel the 'great, not again' aura from all of them, but then, we do strive for our best after that. We really want to give to the choir. So, if we do that every practice, we'll probably win every competition. I hope that's the purpose that every j1 has, to win for the choir.
Having a low-profile blog is a good thing sometimes, haha...

This is post #201
I realized I haven't posted for really, really long. Life's been busy, as usual. I was found that out when someone asked me "How's life?" And I thought it was the best question I've heard in the week. And I still here posting because I got tired of econs. Econs is like >< it's contributing to 90% of the stress I'm having now. Project with such a near dateline, tutor who's super strict on homework, I think she's worse than my maths tutor who sends anyone who doesnt do 5 questions in advance to detention. With so much going on at once that I don't even know what I'm doing sometimes, thank God I know God.
Anyway, happy 201th post to my readers. It's to my readers and not my blog because you guys keep this blog going, not me. So thanks! One day I want to read the all the previous posts and laugh at how immature I once was. And one thing I know is that some of you have been reading since then, and will laugh with me when the time comes, haha.

I'll trust in You

I will live a child in awe of You

OKAY people. I will stop talking about choir and and blog about fun-o-rama. To tell the truth, when I enjoy something a lot, I rarely talk about it, but enjoy the thoughts by myself, I guess that's why MBTI says I'm an introvert, but I don't really care.
Came to school at 6 on saturday, prepared stuff until 9. Some kids came really early. But I wasn't there, haha. I was checking the stuff out in the hall. Bought 2 shirts which cost 30 bucks each. Ok, so that's $210 more to get rid of. I wasn't really interested in the games, but just played around with some friends here and there, not really taking any prizes. They were all giving sweets anyways, maybe I was just lousy. Somehow when I played all the dart games, even those no-brainer ones where you can just close eyes and throw and win something, I hit nothing at all. It was like !!! I hit every part of the board except the balloons! Okay. So the rest of the coupons were spent on lemonade from my stall, a pink AC bear which I'm currently trying to get rid of, an AC notebook. Er, well, I can't really remember. The haunted house was just okayy.. Not as great as people said it was. Oh! I met a lot of old people there! Old as in like fairsians that I haven't seen since O level results. And Mrs Choe was there with her husband, but didn't see any other teachers.
It's been more than one and a half years, since that august. Firstly, I need to assure the people who know about it that I'm completely fine, so you don't have to get overly-paranoid when I post some not so happy feelings. I'm human and I have different kinds of emotions besides happy, though I usually am, right>? haha.
