charm: back from xiamen!
hey guys! am finally back in singapore from xiamen! :) well, we came back with a gold medal for our contemporary music category, and a silver medal for our sacred music category. it's been such a roller-coaster-ish journey leading up to this competition, and honestly, everything didn't really take shape until two days before competition. we lost focus and concentration on stage for our sacred category -- was a hell tough category, and it was our first attempt at singing sacred music, so really, a silver medal is already very heartening. as for our contemp category, we actually sang right after the category winner, and they were like SUPER GOOD! ms lim was initially worried that we would get affected by them, especially when we heard them sing their entire repertoire before we were up, but we remained calm, focused, and woohoo! we got the gold medal! :Dam so thankful that i got the chance to be part of this competition group, with all my fantastic seniors in alumni, and we made it thus far together. so many of them are leaving the alumni soon, to focus on uni studies and future plans... i'm gonna miss all of them... at the airport yesterday, after we took our group picture, we kinda realised that this was the last time we'd be together as the xiamen 06 choir olympics group...
one thing that's really heartening about being in the hc voices, is that despite the fact that the age gaps between the oldest member and the youngest member is pretty significant, there isn't a bridge among the members at all. no one bears grudges, no one judges you, and there's just this love for one another... it's just like being part of a huge family...
on a more personal note, it hurts to learn that some of my batch mates won't be staying in alumni once uni starts. most are contributing on a project basis, while some are leaving for good... things just somehow won't be the same again, without them around...
will be posting the link for my xiamen pictures soon! so keep a lookout for them!
