omg
horrible singing. off-tune blending. weak harmonies. tt's the SAS (st andrew school i think) choir guys. michie and i were like looking at each other with the "are they freakin out of tune" face.. haha.. then we were like being lame and all.. kinda cannot stand the sas performance. and they were doing the opening......... it's like how lousy can it get.
no one clapped for their 1st song. it was total silence after their first piece. =.= damn pathetic
fortunately, SAJS (SA junior sch) and SAJC itself saved the day.
the junior sch boys were incredibly adorable la... gosh.. and they seriously can sing pretty well.. rather impressive for kids their age. they had the high notes and all plus it was entertaining as well.. with the cute nursery rhyme kinda songs.. blah.
but i feel the jc choral could have planted some mics somewhere cos the vocals weren't strong enough. not as powerful as tj's choir. i was blown away by tj one la... (no biasness here ^.^) hahaha.. they should project more!
after the concert, xx, mich, grass, julie and me were contemplating where to go to chill/ catch up. after much persuasion and seduction (HAHA), they succumbed to our (Grass and me actually) requests and we headed kovan mac.
hanged around for like an hour or so.... xx was saying she's gonna take up hospitality in poly instead of carrying on the stressful and unbearable life in jc (particularly mj). considering i've heard so many negative comments on mj, i think its a rather good move. numerous ppl have said mj is a complete lifeless sch and the retainee rate there is exceptionally high.. (oh wow wads new)
eventually, it leads me to wanna compare TJ and MJ style of education.
tj is kinda more liberal than mj cos we have lots of extra activities that are nt part of a lvl syllabuses. theres more freedom and space for your own exploration and i think the sch allows u to do things at your own pace. (erm... to me this is the case)
possibly becos, tjcians are supposed to be smarter (reckon its the top 5 jc)
naturally, intelligent ppl have the luxury to squander time with less opportunity costs involved. (econs??? hahaha)
i'm nt saying meridiens are nt the cut out for studying. i mean they are, just tt it's the sch doing the work for them.
which jc pushes their students so hard, to the point where students lose aim and purpose in the sch?
there's too much control the sch beholds and hence leading to the young minds of young adults losing power over themselves. consequently, they look for another avenue to escape, from reality.
this is the paradox in this issue. teachers want students to excel and while doing so, they try a myriad of medication on students. different bodies have different response to this. as for some, the drastic effects are shown from the way they try to deny their purposes in sch. leaving their distressed minds unattended..... seeking another pathway to an alternate reality...
this kinda things happen often to ppl who are mentally weaker or rather vulnerable and susceptible to external environment changes (for e.g. yours truly).. there are moments where you lack faith and security in yourself that you regard outside changes as the ideal behaviour. becoming insignificant to yourself resulting in diminishing self-esteem and confidence..
giving up might be the only solution to this problem.............??
as challenging as it may seem, we, as cliche as possible, must fight on and stay strong. however, generally, some just lack the motivation to strive on and battle agst all odds. this tiresome war agst sth u completely detest makes it all the more difficult and arduous.
what is the best way out of these problems?
perhaps the answer becomes different again, for each individual. u can choose:
- escape?
- face it head-on?
- take a u-turn?
- pause. think, plan. take a deep breath. view it from a different angle?
- ignore and be a third party of your life? pretend the non-existent of this stumble/hurdle?
hahaha... isn't life tricky, challengin, difficult and SUCKY???
why issit tt happy and joyous moment always seem so short-lived while painful and depressing period seem to last forever???
it's the psychological thingy going on in us..................... isn't it?
haiya........ to me, the easiest way to stay happy is to be a child for a day. just completely disregard your problems and not think too much into it.... take it as it is from the surface.... bitch abt it... just dun read between the lines...... ring up a friend and gossip the most superficial things (or widely known as to bitch) ......... hate anyone u wan...... just BE CHILDISH!!!
i think this saves lotsa headache doesnt it? hahahahhahaha~~~~~~~~~ ¶ 11:45 PM
