><))o> A magical night in Japan
#Eh..dont get me wrong..i didnt get to spend a nite in japan itself..instead what i meant is that i had a wonderful nite performing the opera, Midako, as a Japanese schoolgirl. For those who have no idea what am i talking about, let me update u. Yesterday was AJ choir cum dance society's public concert. It was held at the kallang theatre (the acoustic there sucks big time! On a brighter note, we are compensated with bigger dressing rooms unlike those of Victoria Concert Hall!) Everything just happened so fast..the concert started at 7.30pm with the dance society blowing the audiences away with their "professional dancing" (Quoted from a few of the audiences). At 8.45pm, it was the choir's turn to bring the crowd to Titiput, a town in Japan which never existed. I was more nervous than i expected myself to be and when it was the girl chorus to go on stage and sing, i would practically feel my heart pounding away...i was so nervous that i couldnt sing properly!! Foruntately, after a while, i managed to calm down and recollect myself. I was so relieved to see joe and shuqi right at the front...shuqi waved at me and i smiled back. I could also see leena, obviously amused, displaying her set of white teeth..and just to name a few more, shuxin....ardi...hueychyi... Slowly, i found myself having a great time on stage, acting all frivolous and bitchy. The audiences laughed..alot. Each time we hear the laughter, we knew we had done it and all of us felt the immerse satisfaction within us. At the end of the concert, we knew we had gave our best and we are proud of it. For me, the end of the concert is somewhat bittersweet...it was probably my last concert for the rest of my life and probably my last time working under my conductor, Mr Nelson Kwei. I went over to Mr Kwei and thanked him for his guidance for the past six years and told him to take care of himself..we hugged each other...and with 2 last songs, this marks the end of the concert and brings me a step closer to the closure of my choral singing. Next saturday will be the last time i will be performing as an Aj choir member for speech day..*sigh* I know this magical journey of choral singing will end someday..i'm happy and thankful that through choir, i have discover my passion for singing and appreciating choral music. Reflecting upon the past six years of my life, as a student and doubled as a performer, i have found joy in bringing music and delivering the emotions of a song to audiences. I am also grateful for all the people who have gave me chances to realise my fondest dreams. People like Mr Nelson Kwei, Mr Ferdinand Quek, Mr Andy Quek (hmm...all guys eh?)...my thanks goes out to them for they not only allowed me to explore my singing abilities but also acting abilities (Mr Ferdinand Quek gave me the opportunity to act as an Egyptian bitch in Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat in 2002) and even modelling abilites (Mr Andy Quek chose me and JingLing as female representatives from choir to pose for some photo shoots though i thought there were much better candidates around!). They have sprinkle and injected colours into this choral journey of mine..so a very big thank you to all. And to all my fellow choir friends like vanessa, jeslin, vivien, eunice, xiaojing and many others : thank you for all the wonderful memories that you people have left in my heart!*sob* *sob* Ok...let move on to some pics..sorry i only have time to upload a few..i will be uploading more pics!
The makeup artists, intan, meimei and jacintha applying makeup for us to make all of us look very "wayang"!
A picture taken just before the concert...everyone looking a very "wayang" but beatiful!!
This picture was taken a day before the actual concert. The dance did a very abstract production...and the beauty of complexity shone through as they danced. Ying Ying, my very pretty friend was one of the main dancers!! She danced so gracefully...i was just so amaZed by their steps...fantastic performance from them i would say!
