Kaleidoscope 2007

*ahemahem, cough* I'm going to start another thank you list for Kaleidoscope

Daddy God, for seeing us through the noon rehearsal right down to the evening concert.
For getting the curtains fixed by evening when the VIPs would be present.
For making sure ****** is fine, her fall really scared some of us off and we were dead worried for her.
For the good weather, so our audience could come without obstructions like the rain!
For giving us the Agape Concert Hall.
For giving me the chance to perform in PL's debut concert at our new concert hall.
For the 2 gold with honours (bells & gz), 6 silvers (harp band dance guitar LD) and 1 bronze (chinese drama) for SYF.
For the people mentioned below,

Mr Fong again,For his dedication and guidance. As you can see in the pic, he's holding this giant card made by us.

Teachers and stage crew and ushers who worked so hard to make this event possible.
Too many names!

Alumni for their support, Pearl Annabel Yi Jia Wan Yi Hui Zi Wen Xin especially to Wan Yi and Wen Xin and Huizi (or is it Hui Zi?) for staying for both the matinee and evening concerts!!! I know that y'all had a hard time reasoning with the prefects. We appreciate your effort, really!

Church peeps Wan Hui, Joe, Jacelyn, Clarissa, Aaron, Joshua, Kai Wei, Stacia and Andy! For being there. I was looking out for you during the intermission but but but I only saw Clarissa and Vanessa who told me that y'all were inside so I went in to say hi! Actually I wanted to take a group pic with y'all, but there wasn't time? =( Just wanna say that your presence made a lot of difference! I felt a little more motivated to give my best again. It was different la, knowing that some (in fact most, -no- all) of you are watching me perform for the first time hahaha. Thank you so muchhhh for coming!!

Classmates Tania Joey Persie Madeline Lai Theng Charmaine Sara Melody Sheila!! (did i miss anyone out?) For your support! And for putting up with my "shit la i need tickets!" for the past week.

(from left) Thanks to Mr Fong (white rose, hidden) Theodora Fiona and Yu Ting and Wen Qin for your pretty flowers! OH and to Candice too, who told me on MSN that she wanted to give me flower (orchids, to be exact) but couldn't find me so she gave it to someone else *sobs* LOL.
So touching! hahah. I think this is my FIRST time receiving flowers from anyone for a concert. So that's something. The 5 (and recently, 6) made my day!

SYF team and helpers ( where's the full photo huh!?!) once again for the memories! We didn't play well for the matinee concert, but gave our best during the evening one. We played so well, even Ms Tessa Tan praised us like mad! "Handbell girls, you all never fail to make PL proud. We are so, so very proud of you" or something like that. But we also know that our music groups HARDLY, in fact NEVER get this kind of praises from her, so we must be really good to earn them! Well done, do each and everyone of you girls!

The treblers/melody ringers, (photo credits to Man Ling!)
I know you don't like blue la. See, I'm so nice, I take the blue cloth just cos' none of you want to take it! Haha. Now seriously, it has been fun working together. There were times when we couldn't agree on how the melody should be played etc, but hey look where we are now! We played a huge part in this SYF and got our gold with honours! The disagreements were worth it =D Mr Fong even told us that we scored the highest among all the schools, 96 marks/points IF I'M NOT WRONG.

Bells clique, (photos courtesy of Man Ling again)thanks for adding so much colour to my life! All that laughter and makeup (haha)!

The SPORTING AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE!!!!!!
For clapping along with us, laughing and responding to our emcees, laughing when we put up our collars, laughing when we started bobbing up and down for the London Bridge/Ode to Joy. All the sound effects made by them that day, esp the night one, I will take it with me for as long as possible. They were awfully responsive! Honestly the best audience ever. Or maybe it's because it's our best performance, haha! There was this guy in the first row who went "what?!" when we put up our collars. BEST. And a lot of murmurs from the crowd which got me smiling and enjoying myself thoroughly throughout the 8 minutes on stage. I'm sure almost all were impressed by Kaleidoscope, the overall thing.

While all the other sec 4s have stepped down from their CCAs (i think), we (the most senior handbellers) still have quite a bit to go before we complete this journey.
Next stop: Japan! And we will make it big.
I don't wanna leave leh.


Alright now Sara's complaining I always blog about handbells.
Ok she's right.
Now that CCA has stopped (temporarily), I will blog more about my everyday life la ok!!
There's a lit test and listening compre exam, I should be in bed now! G'nite world =)
