New song we're learning for choir. It's damn nice!
But it's gonna be only for smaller choir though.
I don't really feel nice about having to exclude some people for the smaller choir.
I remember exactly how it felt in sec two to be so into choir and not get chosen for the smaller choir. I felt really really lousy for a long time, and still feel lousy about it now. Ah.
I know I was a bad singer (and still am), but number one, all I wanted to do was to sing, and two, how lousy can you feel if you're one of the only sec ones who went for SYF and didn't get into smaller group?
It took me a really long time to get over it and that's why I don't really feel good about having to exclude non-secones from the smaller choir.
I don't want to destroy their enthusiasm in choir, no matter how minuscule it is. I don't want to destroy their confidence in themselves.
Not that my zest was destroyed, but yea I lost confidence in my own singing (I was bad, so losing confidence meant thinking I was worse than bad).
I don't want the exact same thing to happen to them.
However, I also have to look at it this way. It's gonna take so much more effort and time to train them for the more challenging repertoire. It's much better to exclude you from the smaller group than to get you to stay back even more to learn all the details and correct your mistakes.
Sigh. Why am I so soft-hearted.
Oh and blah I hate my voice. You embarrassed me in front of the whole choir again today, Voice! Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Stop being so damn nasal and pitchy gah.
My All- Mariah Carey I've been thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you, then my heart just won't let me be right Coz I've drowned in you and I won't pull through without you by my side.
I'd give my all to have just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine Coz I can't go on living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight.
Baby can't you feel me, imagining I'm looking in your eyes I can see you clearly, vividly emblazoned in my mind And you're just so far like a distant star I'm wishing on tonight.
I'd give my all to have just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine Coz I can't go on living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight.
I'd give my all to have just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine Coz I can't go on living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight.
Ahhhhhh the Angels Cry lyrics are soooo beautiful!!!
Past few days have been hectic with choir auditions, but it's fruitful. It's really nice to see the DMNCHOIR people step up and interact with the sec ones! Seeing everyone especially the sec 2s bond with their friends in the process is really nice too!
First day made me feel like shit for being unable to keep choir quiet, and for the initial chaos. Hweesze does a much better job at that keeping everyone quiet! Like, when I tell everyone to keep quiet, I have to repeat and repeat and repeat, and still not everyone has shut up, whereas when Hweesze does it, she just needs to say it once and everyone immediately *shhhh* and everything's quiet. Jealous lah HS! Teach me how!!!
Second day was better I guess, I don't really know coz I was at chem retest + emath remedial. When I arrived there was only one round of girls left for 2nd round auditions.
Was quite disappointed that some of the sec ones could sing really well but didn't wanna join choir. :( I really really felt the urge to take a square piece of paper and go fold origami whilst doing rounds!!! Gah. But we have to respect their decisions, so yea. :(
I am really really excited for choir practices to come!!! Can't wait to start singing with all the lovely people again!
Adam Khoo starts tomorrow. I really don't want my parents to come on Saturday, coz I'm very afraid I'll break down and cry when I see them :( Heard that the talks are really emotional and make you cry and cry and cry. I really really love my parents, but I don't wanna cry in front of them, nor anyone else!!! I am 16, hello, technically almost an adult :D. But knowing how supportive they are, they're definitely gonna come on Saturday, so there's no escaping from me crying D:
On a random note: I hate flirts. Eeeeeew. Go get a bedroom lah.
The whole holidays were filled with choir, choir and choir.
Do I regret it? Definitely not.
This must have been one of the best holidays of my life, despite the extra 2 weeks of lessons.
I really really love being in DMNCHOIR. Every week choir practices are the only things I look forward to, apart from A Math lessons.
Ohmigosh it's just 2 months without studying and I forgot every bit of A Math. Wth is happening to me.
I had to stay up yesterday night to go through all the basic stuff for geometry yucks.
I hate geometry ttm. Algebra is wayyyyy more enjoyable!!!
Oh there's Chem retest on Wednesday, and I'm probably gonna have to sit for it. WTF I didn't fail Chem, in fact I got a freakass B. So what did I do to deserve a retest. FML.
Oh and I just remember I haven't posted my EOY grades here! Well I forgot, but I recall having the exact score for A Math and E Math. This is so unfair I work so much harder for AM so I should do much better than friggin E Math. Gah.
Well I was 11th in level! Finally. In fat obese 2008 I dropped all the way to 70+. Ironically I had more As then.
I was one level position away from having my long name screened as part of the top 10 scorers. -____________- Damn it.
I shall work even harder now. Time to go grab as many As as possible!
Chong xian zai kai shi wo hui jiang geng duo hua yu! :D
But for now, time to do up choir magnets!!!
Choir magnets are pamphlets to attract sec ones to come join choir. LOL.
Do join DMNCHOIR if you can sing! Read all my blog posts and you'll see how much fun I've had in choir, and how much DMNCHOIR affects my life.
Ooooh Mariah just released her latest single! It's the remix of "Angels Cry" with Neyo.
ANGELS CRY REMIX FEATURING NE-YO (Mariah Carey, C. Stewart, Crystal Johnson, James Wright, Ne-Yo)
Mariah: I shouldn't have walked away I would've stayed if you said We could've made everything OK But we just Threw the blame back and forth We treated love like a sport The final blow hit so low I'm still on the ground
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall Shattered in pieces curled on the floor Supernatural love conquers all 'Member we used to touch the sky And
Lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift We let it drift In a storm Every night I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived Bring it back and we gon' make it right I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive As the angels cry
Ne-Yo: I thought we'd be forever and always You were serenity You took away the bad days Didn't always treat you right But it was OK I do somethin' stupid And you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long Doing the one you claim to love wrong Before too much is enough You look up Find your love gone And
We were so good together How come we could not weather This storm and just do better Why did we say goodbye
'Cause lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift We let it drift In a storm Now every night I feel the angels cry
Mariah & Ne-Yo: C'mon babe can't our love be revived Bring it back and we gon' make it right I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive As the angels cry
Baby I'm missin' you Don't allow love to lose We gotta ride it through I'm reaching for you
Baby I'm missin' you Don't allow love to lose We gotta ride it through I'm reaching for you
Lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift But we let it slip In a storm Every night I feel the angels cry
Oh babe, the angels cry
I really really love this song.
The original, from Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, was already so perfect I thought it should've been MOAIA's lead single instead of Obsessed. Now, it's even more perfect!
Ne Yo and Mariah really blend well together!
The first time I heard the original, I was on the verge of tears. The first time I heard the remix, I was literally crying my heart out.
Our performance was disappointing as per our standard, but at least we have improved from Monday.
Now we're less out of tune and the stretches are much more apparent.
What Ms Yeo told me hit me. We can't keep working so hard for nothing. There must be some kind of encouragement for everyone so that they can really get more enticed to improve.
Actually DMNCHOIR is capable of achieving much more. We just have to find how to maintain the excellent standard we achieved a few weeks ago and prevent it from fluctuating.
As for Tenors, we are also capable of being much better than we are now. There's no reason for the Tenors to be the weakest link in DMNCHOIR because I believe everyone puts in as much effort. All of us just need to learn to be more serious during sectionals, right (looks at constant offenders)? Once all of us grasp the correct concepts we'll be contributing more to DMNCHOIR instead of pulling everyone down.
I believe we can all do it by working together and supporting each other's flaws with our strengths. Jesus please help us.
It makes me really happy whenever I listen to it, and I have no clue why. I guess it's the music video.
Always Be My Baby- Mariah Carey
We were as one, babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you wanna be free,
So I'll let you fly
Coz I know in my heart, babe
Our love will never die, no
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, coz you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way, you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, coz you'll always be my baby
I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave, boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably,
You'll be back again
Coz you know in your heart, babe
Our love will never end no
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, coz you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way, you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling, coz you'll always be my baby
I know that you'll be back, boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
I know that you'll be right back, baby
Baby believe me, it's only a matter of time, time.
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling coz you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way, you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling coz you'll always be my baby

Can you believe Mariah composed this song?!
FYI, Mariah composed 90% of her songs, meaning a LOT since her career is 2 decades old now. She does occasional covers, like Without You, Open Arms, Against All Odds and I Want To Know What Love Is, of power ballads. Now, how many artists compose their own, wonderful, #1-charting songs?
