met the small buddy for the first time on monday!

wew so long since i updated my blog!!

anyway yesterday concluded the end of my chorale journey. it's been 10 good years of blood sweat and tears, all for the sake of making good music. haha i never thought i'd continue choir for so long, esp since i was so certain i'd drop choir in jc. but thank God for plopping me in chorale because i think i grew the most in this short 1 year in chorale. i don't think i'll ever get to sing like this again, or at least not with an astoundingly talented, sharp and driven conductor. and not with a group of mad talented yet accepting and supportive people. anyway yesterday i finally realised how much i love choral singing, despite my constant complaints. :') 

anyway thank you to all those who helped/supported/encouraged me in one way or another during the gown saga. hahahah this incident now has a name. was so panicky but i am really thankful for some of my batchmates who helped me source for gowns to borrow. am also eternally grateful to the seniors who i am not a tad bit close to but still went out of their way to pass me their gowns so that i could go on stage and sing for the last time (maybe in my life). i will definitely be more mindful of my stuff from now on. who loses a gown and only realises 3 months later, one day before performance man. but anyway i guess this whole incident taught me that God will take care of me - finding a gown that fit me - from someone i would never ask from myself - buying shoes in 5min.  thank God it all went smoothly i mean everything could have gone wrong - all the gowns could have not fit - the shoe shop could have every shoe size except mine. thank God for making a way out of what seemed like a dead end that night. 

also this made me realise how important it is to help people when they need help. now i'll be able to empathise with people when they are desperate, because i was so so so desperate. and i'll naturally be more inclined to help them! hahaha this is like some kindness cycle, because people were kind to me, i'm going to be kind to more other people. feeling empowered by kindness!!! 

anyway thank you to everyone who came down to watch us perform even though it was on a weird wednesday all the way at esplanade - and most of you don't even appreciate choral music but thank you :)))) makes me all the more touched hehehe. 

had a self-declared day off today, slept till 11:11 and lazed in bed for a while before heading to school for mock spa in the afternoon. forgot how it felt to have more than 6 hours of sleep :> 

and from now on all my 1230 days have been converted into 6pm days because i am going to have piano lessons THREE TIMES A WEEK for the whole of may. sounds like a disaster, but i really hope this pays off and that i'll pass my exam. it's my last ever exam so crossing my fingers i'll pass :X  

wow this is a year of many lasts
