.: Revival :.
This blog of mine has finally, yes, FINALLY, been revived. However, I'm uncertain how long it will stay alive!
Let’s see... my last blog entry was on New York Trip and so many things has happened since then. Urban Hike, Birthdays, thousands of practices and dinners with band members, sleepy periods in Lectures and Tutorials, Live Ad, SPAs, VJC Sports Day, EXCO interviews, Football Girls Match, Majestia 2008 @ Esplanade, Strings From America @ PT, June Holidays filled up with JTS '08, DSA interviews, Studying, meetings, Movies, CIP - NEA and SLV, EXCO announcement, and finally, MID YEAR EXAM!
Wow, Term 2 has definitely been eventful and I would say, mix of emotions. Looking from the calendar of events the VJCSB had, ‘Majestia XXIII’ was the highlight of everything. As Mr Tan says, "you guys are a lucky batch. First, get to perform in the World's most famous concert hall, Carnegie Hall, and just a few months later, in Singapore's very own, Esplanade Theatre" . All that happened in just one semester. IT was a hell of a ride but nevertheless, unforgettable and memorable. Sitting on the Esplanade theatre hall was nothing compared to that of Carnegie. However, just by the prestige and opportunity that we have was just an indescribable satisfaction and luck. Playing to a 1600 full house audience all the way up to the highest and last seat of the hall was a great feeling. All was not possible without all our hard work in selling the tickets and practicing hard I guess.
As the J2s now move on to the next chapter of their JC life, we also move on. Although no band practice has been held without them yet, i can forsee a rather boring and unmotivated band in practice. But I guess every good thing comes and go! So, looking forward to band practices too.
Been busy with all the EXCO meetings and all but all had been fun!
Exams just finished and let me see, I'm going to break my own record of not failing anything before. Which Sucks. Some say 'your real competition is yourself. To challenge yourself and break new records!' Looks like I did break some record. Just that it's not really a very positive aftermath. haha. Anyway, putting that disgustingly difficult and out-of-this-world exam aside, Thursday and Friday was spent with my wonderful class, 08S64 after exams! To some, Thursday was their last paper but for the Chinese 'enthusiasts', haha, It was Friday. But nevertheless, we went to celebrate with them on Thursday too. Celebraate what? I guess is to celebrate the herald of Victorians back to Earth form hell. We went to watch 'Wanted' on Thursday and on Friday 'Don't mess with the Zohan' and 'Get Smart'. Movie marathon! Though there was lesser people turning up on Friday as compared to Thursday, both days were like super fun and enjoyable. Okay... not for me because something happened on Friday night. But other than that, it was an enjoyable day! Also, what happened made me realize how nice and concern my friends are and such bonds I suppose, are what we call real friendship bonds that can withstand even the strongest tidal waves!
CIP - SLV and NEA over the holidays was fun and very enriching. Every CIP that was done last time was just earning points upon performing manual work and mundane chores. But this time, both events thought me things, lessons and opened my eyes which is I guess, the true aim of performing CIP. SLV was bringing a group of mentally challenged aged people to the zoo and NEA was facilitating students of various Secondary Schools to compete in a nation-wide amazing race. I guess I made really good friends in NEA and I was unexpectedly touched by their final gestures while for SLV, it just makes one know how to treasure their life and bliss even more. Rather than asking for a blissful life and better life, why not ask what have we done to diminish the bliss we have in our lives because some people, can't even enjoy the simplest form of recognition from the public or even, their families.
Finally, Yesterday was Bedok View's Performing arts concert. It was a good concert especially for the drama. Was rather funny. But anyway, the band performed well so good job! Went with alot of ex-BVCBians which made it a good time to catch up and have fun like before!
Also, thank you bff for everything this entire period. Better not go you-know-where and mine is 9 days and counting... lol
Pictures on everything mentioned shall be up the next post so till then... have fun!
