Finally have some time to update, shall talk about Quintessence 2010!!! This year's songs were definitely more challenging, but yet i feel more touching. At least to me :) my faves were definitely those before the interval, but i guess those after the interval were more able to showcase our skills?
3 days before the actual day, we had a rehearsal at the UCC. It was more fun this time round cos I stayed over at kj's room! (again! ooops haha :P) Our rehearsal started at 12pm, went on all the way to 10pm. Although we didn't have to practice the whole time, but somehow I just felt tired! By the time we were finished with the dry run for the whole concert, my back was aching and my butt was hurting! lol!
Took shuttle bus back with ky, and the BLUR(as usual) her brought me to take the wrong bus! haha!! we had to get down and wait for another bus, but at least we reached our busstop in the end, HAHA. Met some CO ppl for supper, thanks to enoch for the treat! :) OH and I realised, LIME JUICE and CHEESE together tastes like VOMIT. Hahaha totally grossssssss!!! =X But the supper was nice overall la! And supper was fun with all the crapping and gossips! LOL! I think, co ppl are like SUPER gossipers, regardless of gender! I suspect all our times at pracs are spent sniffing out for gossips, HAHAHA! Too bad that I have to leave just as co life gets more happening, Sigh! But these gatherings and activities really make me enjoy and treasure my last sem in school even more, and I feel that I can look back at the memories and smile :) HTHT with kj after that, and girl always remember that things are never too late ok! And also, better late than never :) It’s good that you give thought to things,persevere!!!!!!
ok fast forward to the concert! it was like a mass photoshoot session before going up onstage, hahaha! Kept taking photos, and photos and photos :D Mr Lum always say, it's useless to keep practicing in the moments just before going on stage, so I guess i just gave up practising and enjoyed myself!! hehehe :) I still rmb the moments just before going on stage, when we are all waiting at the backstage. Every year, i will feel the urge to pee HAHAHA, cos i always feel sooo nervous!! I hate the waiting! And this year, due to some reasons, our performance started late, i think 20minutes past the actual time. I really find it a torture to sit around and watch the clock ticking by, wondering when will we go out. But I must say it's super exciting to hear the murmuring from the crowd, to know that there are loads of people waiting for us to perform!! :D So fun!
Overall, i would say that the concert was a BLAST! Everything went rather smoothly and well :) There were some glitches here and there, but aiya, part and parcel of performances! Who doesn't EVER screw up? There was one part that I suddenly felt SUPER touched, the moment when our soloist turned back to bow to us. Honestly, I could feel the tears coming to my eyes. I don't know why too, but I guess felt the sincerity behind that bow? So glad that we didn't screw things up for him, so glad that all his efforts went well! I just had this thought that everyone's efforts did not go down the drain, all our hard work was paid off in that thank-you bow. Not just for the solo song definitely, but everything!! I guess it was just the 点 of the moment, and I suddenly felt the bond between the orchestra. SERIOUS OK!it was a very WOAHHH moment for me :)) Oh and when xt went up on stage to present the flowers, super duper sweet!!!!! My friend said they looked shy, heheh!
I probably tell myself this every year, but this time i really REALLY think that it will be my last ANNUAL performance with NUSCO! REALLY!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Doubt I will come back as an alumni, BUT THEN AGN, impossible things did become possible, so I shall not say too much about it anymore! LOL. Even I myself feel sheepish when I tell others that yea I'm performing AGAIN. :D No matter what, NUSCO left me with alot of memories, and stage experiences that I will never forget. <3
I'm left with the last week of school, the last week of lessons before i graduate!!! OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!! I'm going to bring my camera around with me for the remaining days, and snap pictures of anything, everything! So muchhhhhhh memories in NUS! And i know this is cliche, but I just want to say, I'm proud to say that I am from NUS :))
