ALERT: LOTS OF SELF PRAISING AHEAD xD

YAYZZZ!!!! done and DONE!!! woohoo!!! i'm so proud of my classmates and myself!!! i believe we put up an amazing show!!! :D

after weeks and weeks and weeks of hard work practising, it has finally came down to this day.

Programme Rundown:

*(coloured ones are the titles of our songs)

hong yun strives for freedom...

xiu ting misses her kite...

shin hwa wishes to fly...

shu chyi brings you on an escape route...

shin hwa accompanies you on the subway...

hong yun feels like crying...

shu chyi takes you into a fantasy world...

xiu ting leaves her footprints behind...

yea... we really practised our asses off for this show and i think i've influenced them to think of this show as not our exam, but as a performance. we came out with this title "FOLKS, CHECK IT OUT" because this term we're doing folk song and hip-hop/R&B song. geddit??? xD i came up with title!!! and made the poster!!! programme rundown also my idea!!! *nose high*

chincha... alot of the things and ideas for this show are my brainchild and i'm really REALLY proud of myself for stepping outside the frame and really squeeze my creative juices out.

from the start, we rapped our introduction accompanied with a really cool hip-hop mix by hong yun. (can you imagine TSC rapping?? xD) my first song, ESCAPE, is the hip-hop/R&B song. i was really excited to perform but i really don't understand why i was shaking SO badly. so i sang louder to get rid of the quiver in my voice and played harder to get rid of the trembling of my hands. then my legs started shaking bady as well @@ i was like, *thinks to self* oh man, not now not NOW!!! but anyway, i'm very satisfied with how it turned out. it's not your typical kinda hip-hop/R&B song. cewah.... xD i mean, arrangement wise, it was really darn simple. without bass and drums. can you believe it??? teacher yen hue suggested to me to experiment since the 3 other songs by my classmates had drums and bass it them. so, it was a high risk to take but i think we brought out the rawness of it and the background vocal was good as well. tee-hee!

as for my second song, FANTASY, the supposedly folk song (i didn't really think that the song had the essence of folk in it xD), i had my good friend jam-angeline to do some acting for me. problem is, she's just such a drama queen! her acting was so good till everybody focused on her and not on me haha xD plan backfired LOL. i was like, really submerging myself into the song and really feeling it, pouring my soul into it... (okay okay exaggerating kakaka) and just looked up to see the audience, but all their eyes were on ange. i was like what the..? xD anyway, i really did my best on that one too.

we took a bow, and prepared ourselves to receive feedbacks and comments. thank god there were people who liked my songs hoho! both equally. yay.... ^^ this makes TSC a really happy girl heehee! i was very glad to hear teacher yin yin say our show was ichiban woohoo way to go!!! we really really really prepared alot for this show, practised twice a week, perfected everything, guided each other, gave each other constructive criticism, cuz our main focus wasn't to be the star of the show, but rather display what our amazing teamwork can produce. we tried our best to complement each other... in short, we really did work hard and i'm glad our effort paid off. not only that, we even thought alot about how to make the show interesting and came up with storylines (my idead again buahaha), up to the stage setting, the sound effects... fuiyo. you chinca wouldn't believe how much work it is.

...BACK TO ME! haha. received quite good feedbacks i would say. someone said my folk song was good in the beginning and the end but somewhere in the middle i somehow wandered off..? and that ange shouldn't have walked (act) so much during my song haha. but it's okay. someone said it really had the fantasy feel (was it sheer luck that i named my song appropriately? xD). and teacher yin yin said that our songs weren't really folk songs, but if she had to choose one song that she could relate folk to, it would be mine. yeehaa! ;p

as for the hip-hop/R&B song, there were people who liked it too but as for now i really can't recall the comments that they gave me haha! mianhamnida!!!

but it was really weird when my classmates and i had a little meeting with teacher yen hue to review our performance. he had comments for everybody but at last when it was my turn, he seriously didn't say anything at all lo. he was just like, "shu chyi ar, ok lo." and i was like looking at him with a blur face. i dunno whether to be happy or sad about it. yea he patted our shoulders, but i was really looking forward to his comments haha. teacher yen hue, if you're by any chance reading this, why no comments for me ar?! xD

after that, reality sank in. it was over. my level 2 term 1 exam is finally over. i heaved a great big sigh and all the fatigue, tiredness and whatever else words that is synonymous to keletihan sank in as well. just had a sudden rush of feeling like all my energy has been sucked out of me. really felt damn worn out. either we have been practising too hard and i finally poured out my all into this exam, or watching TVXQ on youtube till 2, 3 or sometimes 5am for the past week has finally taken its toll on me LOL.

okay okay. sorry for the long post. my saliva also almost dry already haha. thank you to ida, connie, jason, angeline, and also jian for helping out, thank you to teacher yen hue who somehow or rather had something to do with bringing me out from the drought of song composing i was in, and thank you to shin hwa, xiu ting and hong yun for making this performance a success! although it is my first time collaborating with you guys, but we had such great chemistry and fireworks (kay i dunno what i'm talking about, i'm tired and delusional), and did such a wonderful job together today. i'm sure our next performance won't lose out to this one! isshoni ganbarimasu!

out, (finally xD)
