hey people! Just came back from KL.
it was quite a blast! :D had alota fun.
there were late nights playing cards,chatting in other people's rooms,drinking vodka(yes,again.),eating instant noodles for supper,watching tv,singing ... and crappy early mornings with little, or sometimes, no appetitite for breakfast. haha. i did eat tho. just not alot. breakfast is always when i have the least appetite.
yea, and really long bus rides. which had us killing time by singing,untill we killed chickens. which yang did,mercilessly. lols. im guilty too la. heh. ^^ blasting music like nobody's business. haha. gaying. (uh-hurms. you know who you are! :D) chatting. sleeping. which we did alot. haha. sometimes the after a high everyone in the bus will just suddenly diam. then realise that everyone has fallen asleep. then suddenly all wake up. high again. then sleep again. haha. ya,the stuff that bus rides in KL did to us. made us insane. the first few meals in KL really sucked. haha. they got better la. but i still prefer the food in singapore. the senior guys basically didnt have much to do at the rehearsals. we were just doing one item for hihs(which is the phantom medly) and Salmo for the St Gabs guys. it was really a different experience altogether working with the St Gabs people. i liked it! haha. i found that i learnt things from Mr Lee rehearsing with them. ah yes, there were the shopping trips as well;which almost everyone was looking foward too. went to places like Times sq,bukit pintang,BB plaza. and some other places that i cant rmb. i got myself three things. 1) A brown puma jac. 2) A brown converse tee 3) and a pair of black and gold nike air shoes.they were really good buys.! And of course,chocs for family and friends. haha. some of the things we came acrs there were just about the same price here in Singapore .. if not more expensive. but they were generally cheaper la. because of the Year end sale. discounts everywhere. heh.
we also had an exchange with a local university choir. Mr Lim,their conductor,worked through our pieces with us, and yes, i learnt stuff from him too.
geez,they were really really good! every individual in the choir contributed distinctly to the pieces which they did,and the sound just blew us away. haha.
the whole hour of exchange was a really productive time in that i took home some techniques that would improve on the way i sing.
Our final performance was on the last day at Malacca. there were not alota people there la. haha. there the hihs choir did their 6 or 7 concert pieces and us senior guys joined them for the phantom medly,as well as St Gabs for Salmo.
once that was over we had lunch, and by the end of the whole trip i really had no ringgits left so Darren,myself and the sixtets from St Gabs just sat around the cafe where we had lunch and sang. haha. it was great fun singing with them la. yup. then we took some pictures and soon found ourselves on the bus ride home.
at the last Malaysian checkpoint the St Gabs sixtet did a thankyou version of insomniac for Ms Yee, and yes,she was touched! ahaha. the bus ride home was just as crazy,everyone couldnt stop singing. after dinner back in Singapore,(duck noodles tastes so much better la.) darren,jason,xuan,yang and me went to play pool at plaza. got home around ten. haha.And so... time to catch up on some sleep! ^^
the KL trip was really enjoyable in that for us seniors, it was our last to do what we have alwys loved doing with the hihs choir,beyond all the fun we had, id also like to see this passion that we share be passed on to the future gens of this choir. and many thanks to Ms Yee.! without her many of the choir's success and acheievements would not have been possible. we'd all be lost without her guidance. so juniors reading this ... dont disappoint her for SYF next yr alright... chill people... i dont have all the pictures in yet so here are just a few we took .. :D
STORMcity!;
