hello.
1 more week to school holidays, or should i say 1 more week to studying

SOV2008
i don't know why, but the schedule we had before the performance on 12 may was more rushed compared to last year.
it was quite a wrong time for me because i had only gotten back 50% of my voice on the day of SOV.i sang my best on the performance itself, but the feeling is different when you know that you can't sing in tip top condition,somehow for me the enjoyment of music was lost,a little.
still, SOV2008 remains the only time i ever treasured a concert.i didn't even know that SOV2008 was my sixth concert,i guess i took the previous five for granted but i do enjoy them still.
its the sixth and the last,i guess.i don't think i'll join chorale.i guess its time for me to venture back into sports.i have the passion for singing, but i think the potential i have is not enough to hold me as a chorister after the Wales competition.

the fact that will remain is that i'll forever be in the VJChoir family.

SOV2008 is very much emotional to me cuz i know i'll never be able to sing with the true 07/08 VJChoir.
i remembered when i first entered VJChoir,it was in fact a quiet one.
i didn't really know anyone, and i only could talk to shixuan.victor and koktong was there but i wasn't used to talking to them.i guess it was the non-social(not anti-social) part of me that was displayed.i was quite alone in SCH during rehearsals until i decided to pick the courage and talk to may,rr,and xy.
12may,i decided to leave the true vjchoir the way i entered it-quietly.i rushed over to cafe cartel with my classmates(samuel,chinhao,jt,kangrong,chiaweei. thanks alot for the soft toy flower and chocz!)for a quick bite of cakes and i cabbed back.11.10pm, and i was home already.
It's really saddening to come to the fact that i can no longer sing with the people i want to sing with,especially xianyong and rayrin.they formed a big part of my choir life.
whatever it is now, i'll sing my best cuz i'm still a chorister,cuz that's a singer's attitude.i'll just do my best and help VJChoir claim victory and honour.
I guess that will be the sweetest ending of my choir life.


the cyclone in myanmar,the earthquake in china.
you guys feel for the victims and their loved ones,but can i appeal to all of you to take an extra step and really care for them.
perhaps its impossible for us to really feel what they feel, but i feel that we should at least try.can you imagine losing your loved ones in a split second or minute, losing your comfort zone and losing all hopes and happiness you have found?
can you imagine yourself with no proper sanitation and housing, food and water for the past 10 over days.
for most of us, fasting for a day is a sheer torture.can you imagine someone taking control over how long you must fast and suffer.
that's what the people in myanmar are suffering from now.when the government stops part of the flow of relief aids for just a day, several thousands are going to suffer.
it's not a suffering that we can understand. its a suffering that puts you in a waiting line for death.
the same goes for the people in china, especially those still trapped in the dusty and heavy rubble.perhaps even at this very moment,some who persevered to live on in the rubble for days,have just breathed their last.

do we even bother to take a moment, and try to feel how immense the sufferings of these people are like?
or do we just bother abt our tutorials and how much we're gonna earn in the future.

perhaps we're angry at certain constitutions for poor handling of such destructions, but instead of cursing them, why not hope and pray that these people with poor management will experience a great transformation of their hearts, that they'll see the light and help the several thousands in need,that they will put the people's desires in front of their own desires, instead of cursing them to die?

the bottomline is, are we taking things too much for granted?
perhaps its a lesson we should learn.
God loves these people, and their deaths are the beginning of their own lives. God saves, but we must save ourselves as well, and really live life, a fulfilled one.



hair will grow
and its all for you, mom.
