The Prelude...

it all started with a simple msn from ching mun to me and jee..asking to join the music nite..jee wasted no time in agreeing...and i followed suit soon...and the plan A...
1. reflection
2. one world one dream
3. 爱是不保留

The practice
it only started a week before...all the brainstorming for ideas..recruiting my housemates...waking up the neighbors..getting no sleep..
the clock u see here shows only Halfway thru the practice...trust me...


as u can see..the whole practice involves all the high tech gadgets...4 nites of intensive practising, with jee even pulling out at one point...and chern wuay replacing him..and later on getting him back...its really a whole roller coaster of emotions....but in the end..we had Ching Mun, Jee, me, Sab, Michelle, Chern Wuay and Jia Ki...and i gotta admit...the practice was fun..i never enjoyed staying up like that b4..


before the nite...i had tachycardia all day...worrying the hundreds of possibilities that might happen..and yet trying to comfort myself that this is just for fun...finally..jee
gave the last motivation to us...

WE can be STUPID..but CANNOT be COWARD!!!!

*applauds to jee!!!* i felt much better after that.

The performance..



the 1st wan was jia ki and ching mun...awesome voice she had...but the mic was breaking up constantly...spoiled many performances bcos of that..



next up...Melody by me, Ching Mun, Sab and Jee...really thanks to all the sem 8 for all your support... hope all of u were happy with it... as u all know...its hard doing unpractised things spontaneously on stage


爱 是不保留..i really respect Ching Mun for singing this wan... i was a bit skeptical at 1st..knowing that its a Christian song..but hey..wats there to be ashamed about...singing wat u believe in....and so.. i gave it all to sing this wan osso....although my cantonese is a bit out..


and finally...To love you more...by celine dion...if u go to youtube..ull see a crazy hair dude called Taro Hakase..flinging all his hair around and fiddling like nobody's business...and i cant believe i even attempted to play this song without score!!... and teaming up with Michelle..a music nite veteran who needs perfection... its hard to describe the practices needed to meet the requirements..


The Post music nite thoughts...
to Ching Mun...thanks for the crazy plan, all the practices, staying up late... it was a wonderful experience after all
to Jee...all i can say is thanks for joining back..u dunno how much that means to all of us..
Chern Wuay...Wahlau...u geng ah...
Sab... thanks for joining in such a short notice..i know ur still practicing at 3 something am..thanks for the sleep sacrifice!!
Michelle... u were rite bout the song selections..and ur singing is awesome!!

and of cos..Many thanks to all who came despite the oil price increase...very special thanks to Su Yi for coming all the way to support me...(any guys out there who wants her particulars?? :).)...and made the day a success!!!!
