choir moves back to CFA

yup, the nus choir has finally moved back to it's own home after such a long time of being at pgp. cfa isn't too bad. still got a bit of constructions going on. the room is so dusty. and they made us take off our shoes. anyway, supposed to meet felicia and mei si to go there, cos mei si rooms at raffles hall, just next door. but me and felicia decided to go ahead and explore a bit. so we went. came to one set of glass doors. push and pull. can't open. sigh. so go looking for another entrance. hey look! more glass doors! again, can't open. but we can hear music which means that somehow, there's a way in. so, we went round. finally found a set of glass doors that leads to a lighted 'foyer' area. haha! opens it and goes in. wei wei the welcoming party is sitting there. directs us to voice class in the dance studio downstairs. so we thought, still early, but go and have a look lah. 2 sets of glass doors leading to the outside staircase. again, push and pull, didn't open. sigh. the other one did.

the outside staircase was actually supposed to be emergency exit (according to a computer printed sign hanging over it). anyway, the dance studio was nice. got mirrors round 3 walls, nice and echo-y. (but that's not too good for singing cos it makes you sound much better than you really are) ruben was so glad we were in the dance studio cos of the mirrors. we all know it's been his long cherished wish to have us look at ourselves while we sing. anyway. the other choir rooms are so cool too. the sop room has those special padding on the walls and (check this out) a baby grand piano. how cool is that? the rest of the rooms (i think. cos i didn't see the guys' rooms) has only upright piano. so we had a mini concert at the piano before practice started. reminds me of the old days. btw, yan ting is so li hai when it comes to singing. she was doing "beauty and the beast" before choir started. omg! beautiful. then later on when she was demo-ing for the sops, she was so powderful! gosh!! she should join some talent competition or something. surely can go far.

kinda scary during combined sectionals cos we were directly under another dance studio where they were doing indian dance. could hear all the stamp stamp of their feet. we kinda expected the (rather low) ceiling to collapse any moment. bizarre. oh ya, we split up into small groups to sing too. that is nerve-wrecking. lucky i got jenica and li yi with me. and lucky we're only doing "sweet honey sucking bees" for now. once they start with lily, it'll all go to pieces. but if wei wei is to be trusted, none of the other groups are doing much better. haha!

yup. brain dead liao. so tired. ciao folks!

p.s. time soon for another background music change. so keep your ears tuned!
