Well, today was D-Day, where the 12 choirs met in HCI for the mini in-house competition to be judged by Mr Meng.
In the end, there would be a top 3, as well as individual rankings of gold/silver/bronze. At least we got 2nd, even though we probably didn't sound very good, and the first note for Yver SPLIT! Oh, the shame!
In the end HC got 1st, because the judge said their lullaby was the only song which touched him. Well, I'll take off my hat to anyone who can be touched by Yver - I mean, it's the different types of songs what.
If, as he said, the ultimate goal is to touch the audience's hearts, then why do we have international competitions and have songs of super high difficulty requiring a lot of technique?
Because if all you want is simple easy songs that touch people, you'd have every choir choosing that kind of sleepy "awwww" song to sing, and that just doesn't make sense. I agree if you want this kind of song for concerts. But not for competitions.
And I thought it was nice of Ms Lim to say, "HC practiced for one month; NJ practiced for one week." And all the stuff about no one is a silver or gold forever. Very true.
Afterwards my parents took me out, first to do their banking thingy, and then to buy souvenirs and a jacket for KSA - I'm leaving on Tuesday night. Still got to go pack!
