silver moon's sparkling

Saturday was busk in the sun, in aid of the victims of cyclone nargis in myanmar. And it was my first public performance! And my first CIP hours in JC haha. So I have a few people to thank.

First of all thank you Melodie for busking together with me. And Cherissa for joining us, which though quite late, didn't stop your keyboard and vocals from really helping, especially for The Scientist. Thank you Isabelle for lending me your guitar, it has a really nice sound. And everyone else for your support.

In the end the screwups was not really from nervousness, but more from tiredness as each shift went by, or rushing so not in sync. (It really is busk in the SUN. I must have sweated bucketloads of water that day. And consumed as much.) But I guess it was not bad. But yay it was fun and it was for a good cause.

On Sunday night I watched the charity show on channel 8 for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, and realised how in such disasters, sometimes there is beauty, such as shown through a mother's love. There was this baby that survived because the mother wrapped herself around the baby, and the mother was holding a phone, with an sms which said, "baby, if you survive, remember i love you". I just thought of how in our darkest moments, there is the chance for love to shine its brightest.

Monday, which was yesterday was Chinese 'A' Levels. Just quite glad the exam is over. Hope that I'll be able to clear it this time.

Yesterday I also bought a new CD! Never Going Back to OK, by The Afters. I really like the song Ocean Wide. I think The Afters are a really good band and more people should get to know them. Haha.

And now it's time to catch up with studies this June hols.

This Is Home

We are miracles,
And we're not alone.

post monday

SOV is finally over. So now we can really study properly. Choir is one of those things that you don't want to let go, yet you also want to desperately let go of it sooner for the sake of your studies. Well. Without it, you really have so much more time and energy. Next two things on the agenda is practicing for busking and chinese 'A' Levels. Tutorials and assignments have been lagging and are continuing to. Man.

SOV was exciting. (Partially due to the fact that disaster struck barely a few minutes before the performance, with majority of the choir being stuck in the cargo lift, haha.) The first half songs are vocally exhausting I realised. It was good, the feel was good, it being in the esplande. But it could have been better, especially technically. Well they say performances are like that. And at least the audience enjoyed it. I guess that's what matters the most. Hope that we'll be prepare well for Wales and really give a top notch performance there.

Jiayou choir, jiayou year ones! With determination and hard work we will surely improve.

I realised I didn't see my brother for 2 days because I came home late on monday and woke up late on tuesday and came home late on tuesday. Well. Dad just left overseas for Cambodia. He'll be back on sunday. He just bought us a new cd without us asking for it, Hillsong United's The I Heart Revolution. So nice.

Today soccer girls won the finals. They were good, they can really play sia. They did a great job. Too bad it ended in penalties. It was quite a good match though, many tense moments, haha. Full day should be coming soon!

I have great inertia when it comes to chinese. Well, gotta push myself.

我要持之以恒,不能半途而废,坚持不懈的读书.
