hey ppl... its been 3 days since da choir state level comp.. well sad to say.. i still cant hide the feeling of disappointment in me.. well... lets tok abt weds.. da day of da comp... 13th july... yea... every1 reached the sch canteen at 6.15am... was supposed to leave at 7... guess wad? da bus driver forgot all abt us... so sien diao.. then we waited n waited... by 7.. Ada, Siow, Li Jie Pn Lee, Ms Mary... n every1 else had arrived.. but still no sign of da damn bus... at 7.30.. we went dwn to hutan bandar to wait for da bus... n finally... da bus arrived at 8am...
so we hurried onto da bus n headed to our so called "unknown" destination... S.M.K. Bandar Tenggara... after an agonizing 1 and a half hours.. we finally arrived there... we were erm.. late? ahah... last team to arrive... n then da comp started at 10...
1st up was Convent Muar.. their 1st song was a malay song i've nv heard b4... halfway through their 1st song... i turned around n saw my teacher smiling... well clearly they were not as good as we had expected.. n then siow found out that their pianist wasnt really playing at all.. she juz put the disket into da keyboard n play along wid it... faking it shud be the right word.. then came the 2nd song.. they sang a medley on broadway... man it was nice... it was v interesting.. full of suprises here n there.. overall they were quite good.... except for sum pitching probz... n minus the outfit... their costumes looked horible... gold coloured long sleeved top wid a pink coloured long skirt... well i cant deny that they do hav a poor sense of colour combination... it didnt look good at all...
then other groups went up.. mostly in sch uniform... i muz agree wid wad siow had told me b4 da comp.... he said da state level comp is abt the same as district level comp... yea... i realy agree... sum districts really sounded terrible... but dis time the choice of songs... were somewhat higher standard... all the patriotic songs.. i've nv heard b4... n most of the 2nd songs r english songs..
we were number 6... we went outside the hall b4 it was our turn.. both li jie n yee yean talked to us... li jie said:" Remember.. We r not here to win.. We r here to perform.. Dont expect to win cuz it might be the cause of ur downfall.." yea.. it did make sense... then we went up on stage.. siow played the piano for us... he was splendid... cvnt gals were juz mesmerized by his skills... we sang Sejahtera Malaysia n Sound of Music.. we gave our best n performed quite okay i guess... after we went off stage.. we saw yong thai there smiling at us... he made it there juz in time to see us perform after changing 4 buses n spending 30 bucks on da taxi... we were v happy to see him of cuz...
we had our so-called breakfast after our performance lo.. we ate fried meehoon.. pure white meehoon.. i was suprised it tasted quite ok lo! hmm.. anyway.. didnt get to hear da last group song... yee yean's fren li bing was playing for them.. i heard frm my fren they were ok lo... hmm..
then at 12... we had luch again.. juz half an hour after breakfast?? yeah.. this time we had rice... yucky yucky rice... we were told that the prize giving ceremony's at 2.30... stupid jpnj lo... so we had to wait there until 2.30... so mw n jye swei walked around.. took photos... until we couldnt take it anymore.. we walked to da shops opposite the sch n bought some sweets lo.. n went back.. sat there.. slept for a while... n lastly... after 2 and a half hours.... we saw lots of pimary sch kids comin into da hall... seemed that they juz finished their comp in the nearby sch n came to our hall for da prize giving ceremony... there were a few V.I.Ps lo... then tok tok tok for a long time.. i was playin my fone wid jye swei.. haha.. then finally da prize giving ceremony started.. ours was da last 1... then the emcee announced... TEMPAT KETIGA.... JOHOR BAHRU! there was a sudden silence among us.. no1 had thought we wud get 3rd... no1... no1 at all! we got 3rd. WE GOT 3RD... 3RD?!?!?! we were shocked... very shocked.. some of the members had already started crying.. i too felt like crying but i tried my best to hold back my tears... but clearly it was written all over my face... i was thinkin.. we lost.. the end... no more nothing for us.. all the effort we put in.. all the time we spent.. our hopes.. everything.. gone.. no1 thought we wud get 3rd... every1 tot we cud get at least a 2nd.... at least...well.. kluang got 2nd.. n when da emcee annouced... JOHAN... MUAR! the screams of the cvnt gals cud be heard by everyone inside n outside the hall... yes.. they won.. cvnt muar... i couldnt quite believe it myself.. but thats the truth... WE HAD LOST...
it was raining by the time we went out of the hall... on our way back.. we cheered up a little.. n both li jie n yong thai took turns to tok to us all.. still remember li jie said:" u all r not the losers... look arnd u.. u hav 1 of the best trainers frm vienna... u hav one of the best pianist.. u hav one of the best teachers.. u hav these wonderful seniors arnd u... u hav nthn to lose! in fact u r the winners! u hav beaten urselves.. u hav achieved something we hav failed to.. u r not representing SSI but u r representing Johor Bahru! u hav made history! no 1 has ever represented jb.. not even us.. so wad hav u all gotta lose? number 3 is juz a nember n numbers r not important!" yong thai said:' i was the founder of this club.. n it juz starte off as a dream.. a simple dream n we made it true.. so as wad li jie has said.. dont stop dreaming! KEEP DREAMING!!" yea... i'll always remember those words..
well... thats the end of choir comps in my high sch life... gonna miss it very much... the times we spent together... the times we laughed together.. the times we cried together... these memories will always be embedded in my heart.... 3 cheers to the SSI Choir Team 2005! WE ARE THE BEST N WE WILL ALWAYS BE!!!
