I LOVE DHS


CHOIR



We the bomb!
I just want to say that I was really satisfied for this SYF. Incredibly satisfied, I swear.
Yes we got silver, but honestly does that really matter?
I think not. We have put in so much effort for SYF. We practised so hard, did lots of PT and had so much fun preparing for this day.
As the days drew closer, I can remember getting more and more excited because the day we had been practising so hard for had come.
I mean, sure. Practices were tough. Sometimes they were kick ass but the next one could suck and it was quite a roller coaster ride for us. We had our highs and our lows, but I think there were always more highs because of the people in the same roller coaster carts as we were in, cheering each other on. :)
I really enjoyed today so much. I'm really touched by all the cards and all the jiayous in sms and in person and all. You guys made me feel so encouraged. Love all of you to death.
Anyway, the atmosphere was really amzing today. Everyone was so hyped up and excited. Reminds me of 2nd competition in Vienna. We knew we could do it, we were so confident la.

Fast forward to VCH. I think we did good for our songs esp Kyrie. It sounded really nice and you know what? I really really really enjoyed myself. I sang my heart out, gave it my all and left the stage with no regrets and nothing but pure satisfaction. The best feeling ever I swear. Ms Tham seemed satisfied and happy that we were happy. I was so happy I was going to cry and I thought I was the only moron who felt that way. But no. Pouring of tears because we were so happy that we finally did it and sounded real good. That moment was priceless.

The camwhored and waited one hour for announcement of results. Ms Lin said we were fantastic and the best that she had ever heard our choir. Year ones said we sounded really really good. We were literally holding our breaths and waiting for the announcer to say gold/gwh. When we heard silver, I guess our hearts dropped/sank/stopped beating. Wtv, I think you got it. There was this moment of silence as we stood in front of the tv like retards.

Then disappointment started to settle in. People started crying and all, but I knew we were not a silver choir. No way hosea. I didn't cry because I think SYF doesn't give an accurate judgment of how good a choir is. A choir can be a GWH choir but not a good choir. One thing for sure is, We are a hell good choir :D We have improved so tremendously since the time I stepped in. Biggest improvement being this year. We really changed and i think the TICs and Ms Tham can see that. That's what counts. Ms Lin also said that we deserved a gold. WOWZZZAH!

SYF has also let me realize how much choral singing is to each and every one of us. How we want this GWH so badly because we want to show others and ourselves that we are good and not lousy. I was really touched when I saw the girls and esp the guys crying. Won't say names but I think that really showed me how much this meant to each and every one of us. Year 1s to Year 4s cried and I can safely tell you 90% of us did.

Tomorrow is a totally different day. We will celebrate our silver and have so much fun together as one choir. We'll go crazy high and all. I sooooo can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiit!!
