Monday tuesday.....
well, lets talk about what i have done so far in the past few days..
Monday
I had beach games trial at sentosa. It was really fun, and its definitely not because of the mei meis in bikinis nor because of the little girls who went for the trials. In fact I didnt really bother talking to them.. haha.. hey i'm not that 色 kie....Rather it was the presence of my pals (eugene chuhui andy and junchen )who made it all worthwhile... haha... its not the activity that interest me, but the friendship =)
After the trial, i went for my secondary school choir gathering at essential brew(holland village). It was a gathering which would decide the fate of the alumni choir, whether to have it closed or to continue... attendance has been rather bad as passion dies down after a year. With the initial flame gone, and those jokers who joined for watever reasons beside singing gone, we are left with only 10 active members..
The choir was to continue as was decided by the majority. However many important issues that are crucial to the survival of the choir has yet to be ironed out. in fact, the questions were ignored...yes, we can continue as a 10 members choir. But how long is that going to last? Many of us (including me) are moving on to our next phase in life (working world, getting married, have a kid or two blah blah blah), we cant expect to be around forever. And given the small pool of members that we have, i forsee that in half a yr or so ( 2 yrs to be optimistic), we will sit down again and talked abt whether to carry on the alumni choir. duh.....
To me, we should focus on the bridging that gap between the school and us. We are strangers to the juniors and vice versa. And many of my batch will argue that they have totally lost ties with the school. But if you think about it, what brought and bonded us together was really the MUSIC making MOMENTS we shared in SCHOOL... in fact, many who joined the alumni at the start wanted that old nostalgic feeling again, and left because its not what they think it should be.
The ideal way of bridging the gap is of course through the music making and guidance that the seniors can offer to the juniors.. but that is out of the question now given our current state of competence. What i feel we can really do is to help out in the adminstrative part of the junior choir, to be supportive in their activities, provide guidance and even fundings(if possible), while we continue to improve on our musicality. As young working adults, what we have now is really the vast network, and we can really put it into good use to contribute back to our alma mater. haha.. well... maybe i am just too idealistic ba..
Oh well, having come to this stage, i guess we will really just have to pray hard and hope for the best outcome possible. And i seriously hope that it will work out, cuz at the end of the day, this alumni choir is my dream... It was the sole reason that i joined the national chorale, hoping to understand the workings behind an alumni. One which had benefitted me greatly, and given me an experience and sense of accomplishment that will last me for a lifetime..
Tuesday
Met up with ck for dinner. Wanted to eat at glutton's bay esplanade, but there were lightning so we went to the foodcourt at marina square.. however there was no 耗煎, and so we moved on to suntec city foodcourt instead... After dinner we went to watch madagascar (digital)... yes, its the second time i watched this show, but then its different, cuz its digital movie this time.. haha... the graphics is really really sharp, though the screen is slightly smaller... i still cant stand the ending.. too abrupt. But i give it a 2 thumbs up for the great graphics and music that liven up the show...
While chatting, i realised that its been a whole 2 yrs since i last met up with any of my old jc classmates. Many of my friends have changed gf/ bf for dunno how many times, and many have changed jobs... and i still ignorant about it... When i pressed her for the reason why i am kept in the dark, ck replied that i havent been attending gatherings for yrs... with my committments taking up the slot... Looking back, i realised that i have really focus my attention on my committments, and could have neglected my friends around me.. But i really want to thank you all for standing by me, never forsaking me.. (*wewowe* that sounds like what alex the Lion said nearing the end of the show)
By the way, who has madagascar soundtrack? i'm looking for the tune at the zoo, when they introduce alex the tiger.. its a really good tune.. anyone???
