I'm full of foolish songs and out my songs must pour....

I am super tired. Been singing the entire day and the day before in fact. And I must blog this today because this is a very interesting day in my life and in case I go senile and lose my memory tmr.

Day started at 10.45am. Met fellow choir mates at Tanjong Pagar mrt station. Walked to Ocean Butterfly recording studio (where a choir mate is a music producer there!!! So exciting!), and the choir practised in one of the dance studios there! WOW! Imagine! I was in the same room as where JJ was once before he got famous :)!!! Anyway, I have tons of pictures which I took with my inadequate phone camera and I will upload them on Monday when I can infra-red to my laptop. The excitement was high! We were going to compete later in the day at 4.30pm.

Since we were still early, we went down to the pacific coffee... Yes... ocean butterfly studio is located at the cool fire engine red building in shenton way. And it's a refuge from the madding working crowd. If you enter the bright blood red building, you will see gorgeous graffiti splashed all over the walls. Beautiful. I think this is what art is all about. (I suddenly remembered the graffiti we carved into our old NYJC benches... I think that was a work of art as well. Too bad the school decided to throw those all out... Sighs... the vandalism of countless batches of students gone just like that...) Anyway, we ate our late breakfast snuggled in warm cozy armchairs and talked about rubbish, which is how a great day should be spent. Then, at 11.45am, we went up to the studio and started to do some warm up exercises for our beloved vocal chords to get them well oiled and functional. Then we did a run through of our songs. Had a few hiccups here and there which had to be rectified. Our conductor looked abit worried and reminded us to follow him (meaning his actions) and the cheeky guys suddenly burst into " I will follow you, follow you wherever you may go...!!!" Hahahaha! The fun thing about choirs is that everybody is passionate about singing to the point of obsession... something which I was never able to link with anybody else in the past because nobody else I know like to sing. It's cool!

Finally lunch, which me and some girls decided to skip and we went around exploring and taking pictures of hai1 die2. JJ!!! Why didn't he appear?!! Sobs!

After that, final rehearsal and then... tada! Costume and makeup time. Walked into one of the rooms where the guys were changing and really caught a guy in the act of putting on clothes. He mocked scream and I went out.... -_-'''.... This is the first time I saw a whole row of women putting on makeup infront of the dance studio's huge mirror... Talk about vanity... Gee...

Competition.... everything was a blur... tried to remember to smile. Tried to be as alert as I could. Conductor looked like a dancing monkey. Haha :). But it was great. Once backstage, everybody were all high. We did an MPYC WHOOSH and thought that we did okay. So well... let's wait for the results tonight and see how we do. Cool....
