Double trouble...


My eldest sister just gave birth last night, now they'll be 2 babies in my family... Most probably, they will be staying at my place since my mum can take care of them... I just hope that they don't cry in unison... Maybe they can harmonise their crying; that will be interesting...


My niece, Chloe...


She knows how to smile for the camera already...

Not much harmonising seen in this afternoon's Esprimere performance... Our club consist of mostly soloists, good soloists in fact... Harmonising is not something we can do except for a select few who have that kind of knowledge... Oh well, soloists tend to earn more than groups...


Our best performance ever... See it here...

Esprimere freshmen orientation...


If I have to wait for my holiday entries to be up before posting anything new, I'll miss out on many interesting events... First up is yesterday's outing at Sentosa...

SIM's singing club, Esprimere, had their orientation outing at Sentosa... Being part of the group, I went to help and get to know the juniors (of course, the latter is more important)... Was prepared to go into the water but no, they had to do something like the "Amazing Race"...

We were given several pictures (clues) and are supposed to take identical pictures with our digital cameras... The clues were seperated into envelopes and we were to get every picture before opening the next envelope... Some of the pictures don't give much clue about where it is located, for example our very first envelope... It shows several Japanese letters and that's all!!! We were totally clueless but luckily, we cheated... We opened the 2^nd envelope and decided to complete the 2^nd one first since it is very obvious that the place is at Fort Siloso... Good thing one of the girls have good attention to detail and manage to spot our first clue at Fort Siloso!!! After that, we decided to keep 2 envelopes open at all time...


Some of the pictures had poses and we had to do accordingly...


Taking the sky ride was part of the challenge...

After finishing all those pictures, we had to perform a song (we are a singing club after all)... We had a hard time choosing a song, and some practice to get the appropriate key for everyone... Just before the performance, we were told that creativity was part of the judging critera as well... We then decided to sing with a faster tempo and b-box at the chorus... With only 5 mins of practice time, we had no time to correct the pitch after getting the tempo and b-box correct... We knew the pitch was wrong, but did not dare to risk messing everything up while trying to change it... Obviously, the guys couldn't reach the gals' key; I tried my best but it's still awful... Judge for yourself here...


My group from left: Teck Sheng, Luyi, Peiwen, some gorgeous guy that I forgot his name...

In the end, our group won!!! Haha... Not sure whether its because of the singing or the race... After that was some standard game; turn 20 rounds on the spot, run a distance then do something... As usual, my group won!!! I cheated... but... oh well...

Almost everyone left after that while only 4 went for dinner, then later to Hark Music Café... Went there to chill out and met up with those members that had already graduated...


I was the only one with sun burns...

職業展 2006

Career Fair 2006...


It's finally over, my first vocal performance... Took a few days to get this entry out because I had been playing Star Wars: Empire at Wars for the past few days and had completed the rebellion campaign already... I've only gotten the photos for the event, the video would have to wait for another 2 weeks at least... Can't wait to see it...


Me singing 等我回來...


Still singing 等我回來, maybe you'll arrive before I finish?


The members of Esprimere...

There wasn't much crowd when we performed since those students who came for the fair had already gone home... Had the performance been an hour earlier, I'm pretty sure there would be a huge crowd... Anyway, the eventual spectators were mostly the performers' friends who came to support them... My friend was late, he came just in time for the finale: 珊瑚海...

Was shocked when the first words came out of my mouth cause my voice coming out of the sound system didn't sound like my voice at all... Don't tell me it's normal since the voice I'm familiar with is different from my actual one because of the vibrations of my skull etc... I'm pretty sure I can recognize my own voice after so many ktv sessions and voice recordings... Maybe it's the delay or the echo from the huge hall, I'm not even sure what is the difference... After overcoming my initial shock, I had this very wierd feeling... It was as though I was listening to someone singing instead; I feel like I was just miming that person... It had a very good effect since I don't feel any nervousness and I could feel my voice coming out "cleanly" and easily... Now that I try to recall that feeling, it feels so unreal, its as though I'm watching a performance through the performer's view... Here are the photos then, the video will have to wait...

Still missing one entry about my new drawing, there is some fundamental problems with the anatomy... Will post after I'm satisfied with it...
