The Choir Competition

First of all...

ALL YOU SMKAA CHOIR PEOPLE!!!! LISTEN UP!! YOU GUYS WERE GREAT/ AWESOME/ SMOKIN' HOT & PRETTY/ PERFECT/ FANTASTIC!! I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU GUYS (as your silly conductor) AND WE SHALL TRY THIS AGAIN (anytime, any day, any place)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, now. On the 1st of April (i know, i know, ironic isn't it? Choir Competition on April Fool. It's a wonder if the result they had given us were really meant to fool us) we had our annually choir competition - district level. As usual, these schools were fighting - hard - to win/ bite each other's necks off. SMK Aor Akar, SABS (Sultan Abu Bakar) and MGS (Methodist Girls School). We were practically 'arch-enemies' since the beginning of year 2007. Well, not really, but you get my drift.

On that morning, my sister and I woke up at 5 30AM for hair-do and warmed up our voices. We weren't actually singing, but why not set a good example for the rest of them? So when we were done, mum sent us to school at 6 30 sharp, reached there 6 35 sharp, and met all of my 'warriors'.

At 8 AM sharp, we left our school.

To be frank, we were awesome that day. We were very good, very neat and very well done. We couldn't have done any better, honestly. They were singing most beautifully/ magically/ angelic on the day of the competition itself! If i wasn't careful, i might as well have cried onstage. Really, they were awesome. They ARE awesome!! I am so proud of them.

SMKAA (choir) ROCKS!

It was the most beautiful, the most wonderful experience and the most honourable pleasure to be standing there with so many wonderful and talented people, working with them and singing with them. They were the best team that was formed, and the best singers i ever knew. And to be able to train with so many capable peoples... It was almost unbelievable.

Yes, i admit the training session was tough/ hard/ madness. We cried, we were sad, we even argued. But who said everything was going to be easy? If it were easy, we wouldn't be humans now, would we? When it comes to the end though, it was all worth it, wasn't it? We did our best, we tried our best, and if the result was that, i couldn't have asked for a better end. And so, i fully accept the result that was bestowed upon us, and i am very proud of it.

Not that we weren't good, remember that. We were good, very good, but they were more capable, and they were more experienced. We learned from them, and we shall keep that learning. Most importantly, we gained experience - to do better!

And so, SMKAA Choir-ians, we shall try again next year. Special thanks to Eevonne, Jordan, Jasher, Suzzane, Tiff, Shar Min, Joyce, Li Ann, Rufus, Joel and everyone whose names that isn't uttered here, but shall always be remembered. We were a team, and we shall be a team again!

Once again, congratulations everyone! SABS, great job guys! You deserved it fully! MGS, do not fret, there's always a next year!

PS, Keep on smiling, y'all!
