Little info about a Phoenix

As the graceful phoenix soars through the sky, a magnificent rainbow trail is left behind...

{The Phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird, with golden/red plumage. It's lifespan is normally 500-1461 years and it has the ability to be reborn after the end of it's life-cycle. Another ability of it is regeneration. It can heal itself when hurt or wounded, making it almost immortal and invincible. The Phoenix is a symbol of fire/divinity and it's tears are able to heal wounds...as shown in a couple of the Harry Potter series}

Full-day choir

Hmm...yesterday I had a whole day's worth of choir practice...I'll admit...it's one of the most fun practices which i have ever had with SAChorale. It started out horribly though...the weather was cold and wet...i juz wanna' snuggle in my nice warm n toasty bed...but er...well...if i do...i'll get into huge trouble...so ah well...drag myself out of bed...n i fell asleep in school while waiting for someone to open the Cultural Centre (well yea...tat's wad we call our auditorium) OMG!!!
Anywayz once we entered the CC, some of our fellow choir members were already there n they were complaining abt the heat because the air-conditioner wasn't turned on. I was quite contend with the temperature but decided to shut up. Started off the day with our usual warm-ups/stretches...warmed up with Duerme...then sang Laudate Dominum when our conductor arrived. After that, we broke for lunch!

Following lunch break, we did Beauty and the Beast Medley!! Now THAT'S when all the fun started...when we sang Be Our Guest...our conductor starts laughing at every french word we sing because apparently we sound reali weird...let's see.. the first time we saw the word "oui" which means "yes' in French...it was correctly pronounced as WEE but some ppl sang OI! I burst out laughing!! But we did enjoy singing the song in the end...learnt up the rest of the pieces...Belle...Something There...Gaston and The Mob Song...Gaston was a retarded song...tat's all i can say abt it...We all enjoyed singing The Mob Song...the part whereby the villagers were led by Gaston to kill the beast....*thinks for a moment* yea! there was a part where us Sops and Altos, basically the girls, had 2 describe the beast in a sing-song way...n er...well...it came out in such a way that the conductor told us it's as if we were describing a teddy bear...*so cyuute* we laughed. Mmm...when we FINALLY reached Beauty and the Beast...we were reali glad...the main theme of the song...we sang our hearts out...hehe....n tat was it...for the medley...

Oh...for Babarann...erm...we made some funny mistakes. For one, i admit, i nearly turned around at the wrong time...n next some choir members started a part of the choreo a little too early...but it was reali fun!! =)

Tat was it...an entire day's worth of choir practice!! YIPPEE!! Now wait for open house...*snigger*

MATH REMEDIAL BOOT CAMP!

MATH REMEDIAL BOOT CAMP! OH MY GOODNESS! 7 hours straight of Math...can u beat that?! Well...of course there was lunch break or else we'd all haf starved! Gathered in the LT at first...before we were split into groups according to our grades. INtitially there were 4 groups but the teachers decided to combine some of the groups together...why? Let's see..about half of them did not turn up...Apparently i was asked to take attendace for the WHOLE cohort...n i realised that wow...about half of them were absent...how sweet...the poor teachers...they worked so hard to organise the remedial camp and half of them did not turn up. Anywayz...the story gets better...abt half my class ran off during lunch break...n never did come back

Well...we went through Functions before lunch...and Graphing Techniques after lunch. Oh man...i was falling asleep after lunch break...for some reason i always feel sleepy after lunch for abt an hour or so before waking up again. By 2pm, i was already brain dead...n lesson was till 4:30pm...YIKES!! When lesson was over, I was sooo glad i could finally run home and take a snooze...-_-"

Dont mention abt the second day...it was even worst...there were even less people who turned up...!! But thanfully it was only up till 2 plus...unlike the previous day where it was till 4:30pm...n i nearly fell asleep in class...man! But the 2nd day was worst...cos i was still kind of drained out from the previous day so...i kinda' had my head on the table...n my tutor came from behind n gave me a little squeeze on the top of my back...which i immediately jerked up from...
We did Differentiation for the first half and Trigo for the 2nd half...Trigo was a topic which we already went through...but because it was a touch-and-go topic...er...i think some of us din reali get it...so she went through in detail...oh one more thing...i found out that the OTHER teacher...Mr. Toh...had the same surname as my secondary school assistant conductor: Terrence Toh...

no title...hehe

Well...went for choir practice at my college again...in the morning...yeap! I missed choir practice...my friends, the songs we learnt...yup! All the good ol' times. We learnt a new song 2day...erm...kinda' forgot the title...ran through Laudate Domino...one of our SYF pieces for this year...oh yes! We learnt one new Medley today...it's a famous Disney Classical...BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! HAHAHA! Ok...anywayz i reali envied the Sopranos cause they all got the melody lines as usual...-_-" we Altos were stuck with singing the accompliment...hehe i'm not complaining...nice to sing sth different once in awhile i guess.

Slept the ENTIRE afternoon after reading my book because i was exhausted...from this morning's physical training before choir. We ran 5/6 rounds around the basketball court...played running games...thank goodness i din reali haf to run much...*snigger*

Ran into my cousin during dinner at our usual hangout Suntec City Guildhouse...we played Pool...n for some reason i kept hitting the white ball into the hole...which was pretty annoying as i gave the next person LOTS of set-ups...no fair...i was thinking...whoever who is after me is darn lucky...I lost the game in the end...came in 3rd amongst the 3 of us...me, my cousin n my brother...following that we went WINDOW SHOPPING!! Actually it was juz walking with LOTS of talking...hmm...went to Gelate and ate waffles with ice-cream...yummy yum yum!!! XD
Then went home n slacked/stoned in front of the labtop...which i am still doing...XD
