BBSS CHOIR ACHIEVED A SILVER AWARD!
If you're asking me how I feel about the result, I'm actually very happy and relieved to get a Silver! :D Yes, I did expect a Gold but after performing, I felt it wasnt attainable cos we had some pitching problems and my voice vibrating too much due to nervousness. LOL. Anyway, shall start from the warm-ups...
We had our warm-ups at some outdoor sheltered area near VCH. We also had a mini run through. Just in front of us was the road and a few tour buses drove past. It was hilarious! All the foreigners staring at us as if we're some tourist attraction. Haha, not only that, some foreign passerbys took our their camera and started taking photos of us! One had a video camera too! It was soooo funny! xD
While approaching the holding area, other choirs kept staring at us. I was telling all my juniors, (pretneding to tell the other choirs)"Stare what stare?! Never seen a Gold choir before issit?" Haha. Ok, it was meant to be funny. I was just trying to make the tensed moment calm.
Just moments before performing, we tried as much to be as calm as possible. Finally, it was our turn. I don't about the others, but I know I smiled and enjoyed myself the best I could. But the solo part with Liling, was horrible! Our voices were both shivering! Hmm, but overall I think it was ok. We were out of pitch at some areas but we went back! Woohoo!
We went back to school. And then, went back to VCH again to collect results. LOL. On the way, I ate KFC with some of the gals. Haha, I decided to eat cos I wanted to rush home after results. Did not eat fried food for a LONG time already. Haha. A week is a long time :P
So ya, ya, ya. Let's go to the result part. Most of the judges were foreigners! Some were from World Youth Choir! Means their judging is of a cetain standard! Then, the person started announcing the results. A total of 20 choirs performed today. We were the 8th. Before us, there were many COP and Bronzes. I was devistated. I was telling Liling that I'm not surprised if we get a Bronze. On the split second where the person said, "S...." I was relieved!! Even though it wasnt a Gold, I think it was very good already. Among the 20 choirs, there were only 1 Gold which was after us and 1 Gold with Honuors award. About 5-7 choirs only got Silver, mostly autonomous school.(thats how i compare things actually. tsktsk.)
Yay, I'm so happy! I finally can not worry about SYF anymore. Now, I can fully concentrate on my studies! Whoopee! This season has been really hard, coping with various things. Now, I'm free! HOORAY FOR CHOIR! :D Thanks people, for your never ending support. I really appreciate it..
