Sang the My People, My Home today. I think the school's not meant to sing along is it? Cos, Mrs Crossley didn't sing/smile either. Sad, & totally annoying. But, could be heard from the back, friends said. At the beginging of the song everyone was smiling a little, I saw! Then, due to the very dead audience, we din't really smile right? Ugh, everyone was just stttaaaring. It's okay, they did forget our mikes, Mrs Lee apologises for that mishap. She said that we tried to smile and project our voices nontheless. Mr Liew said:"Well, I know all of you did your best!" Kudos, it's a good experience, I guess!

But, at community/house singing? Oh-my. Bestest ever, right? Esp, the National Anthem. Okay, overall a great celeb! Love!

Hey Babehs.
Today, was first practice after HongKong. We were such naughty kids right, for the first hour. (Those who were in the AVA room, I wasn't in the Concourse, but I bet y'all too ehhh!) I mean, who comes up with the lamest idea of singing HK songs, when HK is OVER & we're all having sore throats, too high to anyway & prolly sing out of pitch/rhythm/tune, when it's so sudden. Ugh. & Miss Netty scolded for not singing luuuuh, ;D. (Omg, Miss Netty grew horns & a tail!) It's funny when she scolds.

So, finally plucked the courage to go find Miss Netty & tell her again that we've not sung much & its already 1 hour la. (First time got chided at, naughty us!) Then, Mr Liew comes 'long.
Funny much. When told that we werent singing anything for 1 hour plus, he was like, "WHO CARES?" Hahaha. Go tell Miss Netty laaaaa. Then I told him what Miss Netty said & he was like, "WHO CAAAAAARES!?" I agree man, who cares. Said everyone's high today. Right.

Sang the song, with CONVICTION , (: Now we're all singing it, aye. Pronounced words. Go choir go, go choir go, go choir go to MEXICO!

Ndp'06 was such fun. I know, it was the most tiring this ever. Even worse than NDP'06. I rememeber reaching home at 1am on Saturdays. & having those Sunday practices with CTs the next day, us studying there together. I rememeber for us Sec 1s was History & Geog. The disgusting mossy black floor. Miss Netty always accompanying us in those bus rides. The lovely seniors, who made it even more incredible , (: Walking from the indoor staium to the outdoor stadium, FAST! Watching Ronin sing the same song over & over. Jeremy Retnam/Rosalind Lee/Gurmit Singh/Michelle Chia/Sheikh Haikel/Jean Danker. The fuschia fan, the silver tambourine, the red/yellow flags, the swirly umbrella. When we had to change colours, the velcro getting stuck! Hahaha. Sharon Cheong & Sylvia McCully! Eating KFC/Pizza Hut/Macs. Having combined rehersals in various schools. Sitting in the stadium watching everything, Rulang Primary, Nan Hua Sec, Vincent Ng, the SOKA, the Fireworks! Waiting so long for the bus after practices. Bigger groups, given the advantage. Feeling so tired & hungry at the end of it all. Ohohoh, and that lovely guy who proposed to his girlfriend in front of everyone on the 9th! The after-parade party, with the water drummers! <3 Missed crazily. I love everyone laa.

Hey-lo. Hope you guys are busy studying, yes. I mean NO. TGIF! Sheeeeesh. Okay, I think its like the starting of the Hungry Ghost Festival, cause, I just went out & got burnt through my slippers, accidentally coming across ash. Freshly burnt offerings. Whoa, the 2Faiths girls had the 'funniest day ever for 2F' today uh. Heard all about it. Hilarious, the past 2F girls did the same. But, the teachers got reaaaal mad.

Anywaaaay, its been so long since the HKtrip (: I can still remember us frantically practicing in the bus uh? With the handphone piano. Cause, we slacked the entire thing before. I've commited to updating this thing as regularly as possible! Please mail us at choralesingers@gmail.com for whatever!

Our next milestone to conquer'll be the combined public performance aye, at RP! (: Remember, it's a GOLD for our SYF okaaaaay! We'll try our best, whatever the colour.

Hey-ho!
We are the lovely choir from Chij. St. Joseph's Convent, united as one voice. It's not about one person, one section, it's about how we blend in together, to make wonders. That's what matters, for "a choir's strength is measured by it's weakest member." Those, the words of our conductor, Mr Francis Liew. Yes, he's got many wise cracks. Miss Joyce Lim helps him out in teaching us. She can sing/play the piano awesomely! We recently went for the Hongkong Children/Youth Choir Competition 2008. In Category A2 (Aged 16 & under), we got a Bronze C. But, in Category D (Folklore: Aged 29 & under), we got a Bronze A! Yes, we do come from humble beginings, having taken part in the National Day Parade 2006 (something we will never forget!). We went for the Jubilate Exchange Trip with our previous conductor Miss Joey Lye. In the 2007 SYF Judging, we attained a Silver!

Currently, we are training really hard for our concert, Ties that Bind, Dreams that Inspire. It's on the 29th of November at the Republic Polytechnic Cultural Centre, 7.30pm! & Next? It's MOUNT SYF!

"Practice makes permanent, Good practice makes perfect!" - Mr Liew

Remember how Mr Liew said we've got to sing 'Survivor' with more enthusiasm?

Those people Mr Liew was talking about! (The three people in the toilet) We aim to sing like them.

Another goooooood one! Look at those expressions/support!

Thank Mrs Ho for this one (Ohhhhhh, they used tons of mikes!):

(As Miss Lim said, don't dress like them though.)
