MY MEMORIES
Friday, May 04, 2007
Juz now choir has been practising as usual, then towards the end of the prac ms lim asked us to sit down and say,
"3 days left to SYF".
The whole choir was stunned in silence for a few seconds. Perhaps we didnt realise how near issit to syf before that? We have been working towards syf since last yr when we start choosing our songs, where we eliminate a few songs here and there (Double double toil and trouble, jacoob bin, Asayuani, ave maris stella etc.)and finally settling on Sanctus and Kodomo. And these few months we have been working very very hard on these songs and of cuz Song Without Words, in a way tt we become numb (pardon me if i m wrong) and did not realise that THE day is soo near. The day, 8th may 07, that we hv been working so hard towards, many late nights out in sch, many falling sick, many months of scores mugging, many tutorials and tests forgone for choir pracs.
And yes, its from now on up to 8 may 07, 10.15am, the moment when we got down VCH stage tt we can determine wad will we be getting. We cannot do anything else to change it aft that moment. So, we make sure we do not regret 3 yrs later that we didnt put in our best for this day, 3 months later or even 3 days later. For many its the last SYF of our life that we are participating as a school. Personally, its my 7th syf. Lemme see:
1st syf-p3 choir: ilver
2nd-p5 choir: silver
3rd-sec 2 guzheng: gold
4th- 21 april 05, sec 4 chinese orchestra: gold with honours
5th- 26 april 05, sec 4 guzheng: gold
6th- 24 april 07, j2 guzheng: gold with honours
7th- 8 may 07, j2 choir : _____________?
The 7th and the last syf of my life, and its also the one i put in the most blood and sweat 血汗
in. I definitely will not wan to hv a single regret after this. I wan to enjoy the moment on the syf stage, like how i hv enjoyed for the past few syfs. Juz take this last plunge and we will deliver our best and impress the judges. NJ CHOIR!!!!!!!!
As the saying goes, "I am under so much pressure that i must have been a diamond now."
We will shine as a diamond together :)
"A child in the sky is a glittering star
A child on the earth is a mushroom
A child in the water is a dew drop
A child in the forest is a young tree
Children have a story grown-ups do not know.
Timidly a small squirrel looks you up
Boldly a kitten licks you
Playfully a puppy scratches you
Busily a cub sniffs you around.
Children live in a world grown-ups do not know
More fierecly than grown-ups
Children get scared, doubt, get delighted, fight!
And everyday, a child departs on a journey and
an adventure as everything is filled with such amusement."
-Kodomo by Ko Matsushita
