sigh. school's gotten into full swing. tutorials starting, lectures getting under way, choir starting to get in gear. i don't remember what i blogged about the last time so i'll just smoke my way through here and hope i don't repeat stuff (which i'm sure i will do).
sumi had another performance last thursday at the forum this time. it wasn't bad lor. guess who was there? jonathan leong! haha! saw him up close, maybe not personal, but saw him anyway. if i can describe him in one word, that word will be "howard". haha! ok, technically that's not a word, it's a name. but, then again, he reminds me of that guy. just the way he dress, the way he walks around and all that. pure howard. anyway. he was singing along when sumi was singing. :D hear that sumi?! means he was enjoying himself!! means you were good!!
finally got round to reformatting my computer. thanks to WW for helping me. and he helped me to get back all the programmes and stuff too. i really really appreciate it. contrast to that totally unhelpful attitude of that comp center staff. but anyway, it's working so well now. kinda. i mean, the previous booting time of 5 minutes has drastically reduced to less than 5 seconds. so happy. :D using itunes now. they got the video function. :D yay! but had to convert all my videos to mpeg format for it to work. haven't gotten round to converting the clack, but...soon.
met up with theo on friday. she was going all ga-ga over clack as usual. fun time. first time going into the TP library. quite a nice place. i liked their study tables. it's like, little personalised desks rather than one long table for all to share. it's more private. and their discussion rooms are actually soundproof. thinks of the 'chat points' in nus central lib that are NOT soundproof. so technically it's a 'whisper point'.
saturday had rehersal with vocal consort. adyll was very pissed with us. :( said we sang badly and had very bad attitude. but nelson said that we were technically ok. saw shi yun and zofia. miss those two girls. te deum is gonna be a blast. almost 100 strong choir lor. :D i'm going to buy the recording this year. i want a copy of te deum. had lost my voice on friday but recovered enough by saturday to sing a bit. really have to stop straining my voice else i won't have sound for this sunday performance. that's more important than the rehersals.
church. i screwed up the psalm for last sunday cos i prepared the wrong psalm. lucky i found out early. else we'd be SO screwed if we went up to the altar and started to sing the wrong psalm. that would be a disaster. cos at least, lectors, if they read wrong, can just turn to the right one and read, but cantors, can't just turn to another one and sing from scratch. but also, luckily, dawn came and passed me the psalm book for this year!! yay!!!!! no more needing to compose the psalm and adapt from the old ones. but the downside is, this book is the 'official one' but it's damn boring. it's all plain chant. it's very very easy tho. just boring. andrea managed to learn her next week's one in less than 10 minutes i think.
and...i got a new picture on my msn that's very controversial. and i think a lot is to do with my msn nick: "giggling-dangerous-totally-bloody-psychotic-menace-to-life-and-limb". so people have been contacting me online and saying, "irene, what are you doing to the poor duck?!" well, i have only this to say: "it's not my duck and it's not me holding the duck!!"
ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, i present, THE DUCK:
lol!mood: sleepy, lethargic, lazy
listening to: think of me - mark schultz, rachel lampa
