Newsflash: Resonance swept National A Cappella Championships Awards
Wouldn't that be a great headline?
Was really thrilled when both Resonance and Equivox won the college and open catageories respectively. In addition, Hua Hui aka Tim won the best Vocal Percussionist and Equivox won a recording contract. I thought Cheryl Ong should won the best soloist, but probably they (the organisers) figured out that that would be too one-sided if Resonance and its affiliated group won almost everything.
I am still high over the Champs.
Its been a time I have worked hard for something and winning it.
The feeling's definitely good.
But, I am still considering. Over something.
It will take some time.
I am guilty
Yes I am. Sometimes I think that I did not put enough effort in doing particular things. But somehow or rather, the heart doesn't lie where it should be. It doesn't follow where my mind wants it to go.
I have an important competition coming. Somehow, I don't feel hyped up. I do want to do the group proud, but it seems that something is missing.
I have worked hard before, but sometimes nothing good seemed to come out of it. I am tired. Its time to rest.
This Thursday might determine the fate of my future commitment.
I always left out. I felt I do not belong.
Maybe its time to take a break.
Maybe its time to bid farewell.
Its time to reconsider my emphasis.
Friendship will still last I hope.
I hate to be photographed
I like the art of photography, to experiment the different angles of taking the shots, to capture the emotions of humans, to capture the beauty of nature. I enjoyed being the person behind the lens instead of in front of it. I am no photography expert, but still I still refuse as much as possible to be photographed.
I don't know why, I hate to be in photos. Although I do want memories to be captured, I am afraid to appear on photographs. The fear of looking bad. I do admit I am no eye candy, and when I am placed with such eye candies, it do make me feel bad.
On the surface, I am the cheery-hyper-active-super-onz guy who seems to have no worries, but all these are just cover ups of the inner insecurity and low self esteem. I do not blame anyone for my own imperfection, but its just that sometimes, I can't help to think maybe I should just be the ugly imperfection for the perfection to shine in photos.
Maybe I just need to get out of these stupid thoughts. I'll try.
It may be difficult but I'll try.
Wheeling back to life
I've been busy, spending less than half of the time at home. It is a good thing after all, at least to the spiritual me. With less time spent all by myself, I will think less, and feel less depressed. Depression isn't a good thing.
Anyway, here're some updates.
Hmmm... Shortly after the concert, VO II, OOPs were involved in another gig at some ASSPA conference dinner at NUSS Guild House. We didn't have much time to prepare though, but to our surprise, the performance was well received by the people over there. I think they are just fascinated my a cappella music and Wailun's vocal percussion.
The week after was my in-camp training. I wasn't expecting anything much. 5 days in Tanjong Gul camp wasn't that fun. However, it was not as energy taxing as the previous ICT, as what I heard from my fellow camp mates. On the 1st day, I was totally lost. As this was my very first ICT, I didn't know where to go, who to look for and what to do. I hate the feeling of being lost. It made me feel damn stupid. The days after were much better, with most of the time spent in the planning room, assisting my S2. Stuff that I have learnt before were recapped and new stuff were learnt. Made a few friends there too.
So happy when I was able to out- processed on Friday. I out-pro late that day. However I still rushed down to NUS to practise with OOPs for the upcoming a cappella championships. I was tired, but the thought of able to sing with the group again perked me up.
Last week was NUS's Union Camp. I must admit, it was not as fun as it used to be for the past 2 years. This is my second time being a councillor, and most likely the last time. I felt really old doing all these camp stuff again and again. Anyway and anyhow, I felt that this time, the freshies could bond among themselves without much assistance from the councillors. I felt that is the most important thing in this camp. It's not about winning or what, but it's about the friendship. I hope most of the friendship will last.
I am going to blog till here. Not much thoughts, but just some updates. More in depth thoughts later maybe, if I have the time.
Till then.
