anti-tutorial advocate!
Yes! I'm so proud of myself for finishing all my biology, maths and chemistry tutorials! Yippee! That leaves me with arithmetic and geometric progressions. I ponned (skipped) the lecture last wednesday! Gag. Couldn't help it. I really wanted to go for choir practice...
Choir has been fun. At least so far. The songs that Miss Lim chose were great...all of them are artistic and requires a high level of sophistication to pull it off well. Love Bin nam ma. Has to be one of the most interesting songs I've sung so far. Not too sure whether I still can be in SYF...considering the fact that I have to miss all the monday practices due to french classes and that I have yet to learn all the songs. Ohhh well. I'm just going to let nature take it's course.
Heard of the TKGS scandal yet? It's really quite serious...having 81 people on stage on SYF. Sigh...Miss Lim told us all about it. Just in case there are people who don't know nuts about SYF, it's THE competition for cultural groups in Singapore...the most important one locally at least. By the rules of the "game", all groups are only allowed a maximum of 80 people on stage. A bigger number of people on stage would result in a 10% (*gasp!*) penalty of points. 10% is a lot of points. Imagine your choir scored 89. Doing the maths would yield 8.9 points. Though that wouldn't put you far back, but that can endanger your chances of getting gold with honours. OH well. That's what happened to TKGS I guess. Rumour has it that they scored really well...and despite the 10% penalty, they were awarded gold. Doesn't take a genius to realise that they probably would have garnered a VERY HIGH gold with honours, if not for the penalty. How sad. Now choirs and bands all over are making sure that they keep to the threshold...sigh.
However, RV choir scored gold with honours!! Yay! So proud of you guys. This year, there were 7 SATB choirs and 2 SSAA choirs awarded with gold with honours. Could have been 3 SSA choirs if not for the TKGS thing...

harloeee darhl!
yea, ms lim was quite pissed bout the careless mistake bout tkgs choir. actually its only a competition. somehow i think music shouldnt be judged by the award we get. just doing ur best and enjoying the process is enough.
everyone's so caught up in the awards and the expectations they have to live up to.. its kinda to prove to the sch and others that u can sing well. haha..
jiayou for syf yea. =D
