Thursday, August 24, 2006: Happenings around me
Hey, it's true. It's really happened. Shernice tagged back.
Whoot whoot whoot.
Just told Liz where the forum is. And that day on the bus I so didn't hear...
Speaking of the bus, it's a world known fact that I'M NOT IN.
And I'm strangely proud of it.
Yesterday...
Fiesta @ Cedar - More of a Fiasco @ Cedar where the entertainment was concerned, but a huge success otherwise. And at the last minute, someone was invited, but had to go at 1.30 for CCA practice... Yes, we know who. But (to that guest) the appetiser was nice right? (turns back to main audience) And two of the invited teachers, Mr Ang and Mr Lam, thanked us. Mr Lam was doing a double thank-you (for himself, and also on behalf of his wife, Mrs Lam, who's also a teacher in our school and whom we also invited).
Choir!! - We got to work on the song, "Cat", a follow-up to "Cosy Cat Nap". Oddly enough though, we couldn't continue after the glissando. And was that the new Rehearsal Pianist who was playing the triplets? Because they sounded out. The piece is in 2/4, and later, 1/2, timing (the same really except for the way it's counted), and it sounded as if she was playing two crotchets followed by a two-beat note. (Is a two-beat note called a minim? I forgot...) I remember that they were asking for those Sec 1s with Grade 5 and above to stay back once, to let them decide who the new Rehearsal Pianist would be. At what grade are triplets taught, I wonder? I wouldn't know, of course... My max. grade is only Grade 2. (I didn't take the ABRSM system so I wouldn't know a hoot about it.)
And today... not much. Except that there was no French class today, and won't be until the hols are over. *cheers through tears*
And there will be no Choir practice tomorrow, to make up for Saturday, but still... *cries through smiles*
My feelings are mixed, aren't they?
Not really.
I'm happy because there's free time, and sad because two of my favourite activities were cancelled. Yes, I love Choir and French class. I confided this to Trudy some time ago.
Anyone know of a vocal academy somewhere in Singapore? Or a course of sorts?
Because I want to sing. Eternally (or until I can't). It's in my URL.
Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forevermore;
That is all I long for, all I worship and adore.
Yes, I modified the lyrics. Anyone who protests isn't being flexible. I don't have a love of my life at the moment.
Just take this statement: To each his own.
Now, if the people in the situation were women or girls, you would change the pronoun to "her", wouldn't you? At least, anyone who's flexible would. If it were a man and a woman, I'd say, "To each their own".
What do you think?
