Being in a choir, is the greatest thing in my life. Like seriously, I just enjoy singing in a big group, enjoy the harmonies created by each part of the choir team. This feeling rocks. You will feel like you're on the top of the world when you finally conquered the song and everybody can sing it nicely. Have you ever felt like, wow we actually did it. Together. Yah, that's the awesome thing to be in a choir. I will never ever regret to join choir since primary school haha, not to say gaining experiences, but it also painted my life with really beautiful memories. Tho packed schedule and intense practices got us like, terribly busy, since sem one, but it's worth it.
We actually did kinda well on our annual event, le CCMO, Choir Chamber and Music Orchestra. Aha and one important thing, the transformation was a success. Cause this year, the concert was kinda different from the previous one. So happy to hear some good feedback saying this year's concert was the best among all. Ahhh I feel like cryingggg. You will understand that awesomeness to hear really good comments from the audiences, after you gone through one and a half month of intense practices. Through all the thunder and the rain, we made it happened. For sure there were unhappy and happy ones, but at last, we rocked the night ! Alright, let me brief you what happened on that wonderful night, lets go back to 5th of March shall we ?
Right after our class ended, we rushed to the Great Hall, for makeups and etc. Wearing the same shirts btw haha. RAWR

CCMO @ 2015 |
Hehe, wondering why were we showing you our butts ? that's our first song, which was 'Somebody to Love' by Queens. As we started to sing, we will turn and face the audiences, something like what Glee singers did. It's an A Capella song, and this song got us like crazeyyyy. It's HARD to learn and VERY HARD to sing it together. Full of overlapping parts and weird melody, hah but practice makes perfect, I think we had sang it for hundred times, at last this song ended like a piece of cake to us. Nahh haha just joking. We finally get used to the melody, and the tempos and everything, after hundred times of practising. No bluffing, it's definitely more than hundred times.

And then, we sang ' The Longest Time' from the movie ' How I Met Your Mother' and also ' The Greatest Love'. Oh ya, our themes of the concert were 'Evolution of Music' and 'Final Fantasy'. Yap there were two themes, two very contrast and unrelated themes haha. So we started off the concert with the evolution of music session, which we sang songs from 1970's to 2000's. From 'Somebody to love', to 'The Longest Time' and to 'The Greatest Love' and then 'When You Believe' from 'Prince of Egypt', and the last two songs, 'Lucky' by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz and 'Roar' by Katy Perry. You can say you dont know the first four songs but dont tell me you dont know the last two songs kay haha.
Tadaa, spot any changes on your shirts ? We were wearing checkered shirts at first, buttoned up, and then when it's the time for the song 'Roar', the spotlight got dimmer and we quickly turned and unbuttoned to show that ROAR tshirt inside. Cool huh ? When we turned back and faced the audiences, they were like Woahhh, haha! The moment you noticed the audience actually felt surprised on that lil surprise we planned, you will get hyper ! haha. And we did very well for 'Roar', I personally like this song the most hehe.
And the next part... 'Final Fantasy'. We changed our costumes btw, to a formal one. White blouse and black pants. This part we collaborated with Orchestra more, fyi 'Final Fantasy' is animation from Japan.. I think. It's a game or movie aha I dont know I just sing what I need to :b Okay, basically the songs are dull, and weird, with languages you cannot understand. Yah, so we just sing what we need to.
Celine and I performed a duet song named 'Eyes On Me', haha so damn nervous wey before our turn. You could see me walking around with that sour face right before we went on stage. The waiting part kills meeee. Luckily, we performed it.. well I guess. Good job partner. Thank god that everything went smooth.

After approximately three hours, the concert ended, ahhh I cannot believe it ended. While I was going out for the last time to wave goodbye, its so unreal that it ENDED :( The three hours passed damn fast that I felt like I was dreaming until we were going out to say goodbye. But luckily, everything went smooth and well the whole night, no mistakes, although there were some imperfections, but we will get better next time I promise. We will get better and better and better :)
