Back 2 Blogging
After all the frenzy over the common test and post CT stuff and a lot of other stuff which i will talk about in this post, I decided to go back to blogging. It's just damn boring during the holidays. anyway I forgot all my links so those who want links you can tag at the tagboard (:
ok 1st big event that happened was Rafflesian Spotlight. During the period of 29th October to 4th November I was really very busy. Had to choose a song and get the minus one (karaoke track, if you still dunno what's karaoke, it's just a track with the background music, without the singer's voice which is really hard to find). Also, the soloists had to prepare for a group performance to open the concert which cost $4. Anyway I managed to find a website that had minus ones to many songs, just that you need to pay, but I just went ahead with it. Luckily the Spotlight committee said they will give back the money. Helped Ye Wei, Zou Long and Nicholas to get their minus ones. haha if any of them gets prize must thank me, which one of them did (but i shall not say now). During this period also slept quite ate to practice my song. I decided to sing Westlife's Mandy. So I managed to settle my solo performance by 30th October. Then we also had to choose a song for our group performance to start the show. We originally decided on Blue's One Love but could not find the minus one. The committee recommended Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight but it was a boring song. In the end we chose Maroon 5's This Love. On the night of the performance, everyone did reasonably well, but not to their best as we rehearsed. I actually forgot one line of the 1st chorus of my song!!! I wasn't really nervous, it was just at that moment i forgot, but after that I think I was ok. Ye Wei sang Rueben Studdard's version of Flying Without Wings, Nabil sang Clay Aiken - The Way, Wen Jun sang Shayne Ward - No Promises, Zou Long sang Westlife - When You Tell Me That You Love Me, and Nick Chong sang Enrique Iglesias - Hero. The judges were Law Hock Ling, Martina Ong and Sharon Wok. Martina Ong is like a Randy Jackson in American Idol, she's quite neutral and her comments are quite good. Law Hock Ling is so like Paula Abul, his comments to everybody were like "Amazing!", "Great!", and also say we should sign for contract in recording company. too lenient. Sharon Wok's comments were the best. She wasn't afraid to be nasty and she was really frank and spot on when commenting on our performance. The open category was really enjoyable. 1st was eugene and yin rong. He sang Naked - Raining On The Sky and Yellowcard - Roughdraft while eugene played guitar. quite boring but yin rong sang well. Next performance was some band called MusikUnfall. They performed Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces and Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name. The vocalist was flat and off but the drummer was damn pro! he spinned his stick in the middle of the song, you know like you spin your pen when you are bored. Then the 3rd band Squirrels On Probation!!! DAMN FUNNY!!! The vocalist like gay and cannot sing, then the drummer stone through the whole performance. The guitarist was quite pro. They peformed Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved and Guns and Roses - Sweet Child Of Mine. The 4th group was some dance group called JYS Funk. Pro dance but boring. LAST PERFORMANCE WAS THE BEST!!! The Boyahs (weiwen, daniel, ali, some prefect haha) are some comedians that are damn funny! they perform this comedy which is really really funny. Now I shall tell you the results. For solo, i got 3rd (damn lucky considering i forgot lyrics), Nick Chong got 2nd (well expected when you see how many girls he brought to support him), and Wen Jun got 1st! (he brought a lot of guys and girls haha). For the open, MusikUnfall got 3rd, SQUIRRELS ON PROBATION GOT 2ND, and THE BOYAHS got 1st haha. quite expected anyway. So this is it for Rafflesian Spotlight.
Also during the past week, we had U-16 competition also. 1st match vs Chinese Swimming Club. Didn;t play but thrashed 27-3. Then later we played Great White Club, won 12-something. i forgot the rest of the scores haha. we got 2nd place in the end. Combined Schools got 1st.
wow this is really a long post. well this is a summary of what happened this week and last week. although still got class LANing. for that you can visit Rui Jie's blog. ok that's it for now! haha longest post ever (:
