Today has been a great SYF day! Thanks people for the encouragement!
We spent the whole morning rehearsing and reached Republic Polytechnic only at around 2 thirty. The rehearsal is quite tiring but encouraging as it brought us into the SYF mode (: Our performance was not too bad lah, just that our first piece was a little unstable.
After that was 15 minutes of camwhoring session which is a bit -.- for the guys haha. Then it is time for announcement of results and we went back to the hall to take our seats. The MC was quite funny lol. He was a little nervous and was saying ‘viooooo-lin’ when introducing one of the judge haha. Can’t believe he actually mixed up the pronunciations of violin and viola lol. The proper announcement was next and we were literally trembling when the results were announced man. It was especially so when RI and Nanyang both only got gold when they are fantastic ensembles and ACJC in front of us got silver.
..Finally the moment came, and it was announced ‘Raffles Junior College.... Gold.. with.. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!’ Haha our cheer totally drowned the ‘Honours’. It was exhilarating haha, something that I have not experienced for so long man! Everyone beside me was cheering like never before and woa man.. that was the craziest 30 seconds in this year hahaa. Now that I think of it and try to relive that moment again I find it pretty funny as we are kind of out of our minds haha. I guess the extreme happiness was due to the fact that we actually in a sense brought ourselves to where we are now through our own efforts, without that much pushing from our conductor like what Trevor did last time. And we are the only JC with GWH man! Haha that is quite an achievement! To J2 past RISE bois: you all rock! 3 GWH in a row man! To everyone else in chamber: Well done! To the row of audience sitting between our two ensemble members: The stunned look on your faces are quite funny haha. Ok I guess that marks the end of my cca career, with a bang. Jiayou to Harmonica ensemble which is having SYF tomorrow! All the best and do our school proud!
Reached home at 11.15! It has been a long time since I last came home this late haha. Today is not a bad day though. Thanks 09S06W for the gift! Also the dinner at FISH MARKET was good haha. Cheer up people and we will rock the world! Jiayou Chamber we can do it! GWH FTW! Jiayou RISE too!
Oh man physics spa tomorrow sigh! Loaded beam come out again pls............. Haha how I wish I am from guitar, then I can skip spa tomorrow and own it the next day =P
Alright all the best to the rest of the performing arts groups! Guitar better get a GWH tomorrow k haha all the best!
Thanks people for all the birthday wishes, really appreciate them!
It was a simple birthday celebration for me this year. Yesterday at HK Cafe with Kang and Terence and today with my parents. It has been 18 years and this is my A level year already! Really hope my wishes will come true! I will rock the world! :P
Now that my ccas are going to be over, mugging, sadly is going to take over most parts of my life :( I have been wondering for a while what I will be doing everyday without ccas and meetings. Oh well, I can do a lot more stuff now that I am 18 hehe.
It was ora yesterday! I was late for the walk haha so I went to help out with street magic and YMCA booths. Street magic one was pretty fail haha cos we didn't have many customers. But then, we are self entertaining, so it was not so boring (:
Then there's the performance area with all the bands jamming. The J1 rock band was awesome haha. The vocalist's voice was good! But a little pity that the other members are not as skilled.
After Ora was the last SNYO rehearsal before the exam break; hmm one month's time to decide whether I would play for July concert.
Oh yeah, the veronicas - untouched rocked.
Anyway, I still need to clean up the mess in the toilets cos my mum just installed new air cons and the toilets are full of sand now thanks to the technicians who fixed the pipelines :/
Today is the syf rehearsal day! Chamber's one was not bad. I actually enjoyed playing the pieces during the rehearsal! Our spirit is getting there (: As for harmoc, there is still much room for improvement. Everyone seems to be feeling the tension already, which is a good thing. Jiayou people!
Sigh I might not be playing for harmoc anymore since apparently there is a rule that someone cannot play the same instrument for 2 syfs. If that is the case, I feel really bad as it will be difficult to find another bassist.. Haiz we will see how it goes.

Today I made my first police report wohoo! It is not something serious lah, just that I lost my ora card :/ Haha the way I lost it was quite weird lol. I was about to pass the card to nicole on wednesday but then realized that I do not have a 2 dollar note with me. So I told her that I will hand it in the next day and I never see it again from then lol. I probably left it on my class table or somewhere haha. Anyway, making a police report is quite a simple procedure. Basically just tell them your card number and check your particulars. You will get a piece of paper which is like a receipt and that is it (:
Ok I spent quite some time finding nee soon north police station lol. In the end it is just a short walk from Golden Village. Sigh.
On my way back, I missed two 800s but luckily another came right after haha. LTA should do something about that :/
I regretted not eating lunch... Now my stomach is gg-ing.
