since the night of 23 may 2008, the last note of irish blessing, & the last bow, another wonderful chapter of my life had come to an end.
that night, which i looked forward to, but at the same time, wished that it could last forever, is one of the BEST things that could happen to me & it'll forever be etched in my heart, i believe, in every chorister too (:
before we entered the hall of vch, i told myself i had to give it my all. every single bit of energy. there had to be no regrets, zero regrets, or i wouldnt be able to forgive myself.
although my heart sank when i frst stepped into the hall where i saw the last few rows empty, when i walked up stage, the whole of the upper level was not even 1/3 filled, i knew i had to give even more, i couldnt let the audience, fellow choristers, mr tay and myself down. we've worked so damn hard! we started the concert well and with mr tay's assurance after each song, our confidence were raised and we performed like never before. the clashing notes for
kyrie, the tensions in
pater noste, reveberations heard when we cut off, it was unimaginable and till today, the voices still keeps ringing in my head (:
to SAJChorale, im extremely very proud! back in 2006, we started with only 6 members, today, we've 40 and though we're a very young choir, this concert has proved to us that miracles do happen and that we CAN do it (it just depends on how badly you really want it), we've done well for this concert & this will be a benchmark for the years to come.
music making with you guys have been the best ever & i really wish we do not stop here though concert is over & journey in choir has ended. its funny how sometimes all of a sudden, i feel very empty inside me, like i've got no stomach or something, still looking forward to choir rehearsals and seeing all of you, longing to hear the music we make together. but i guess, it'll never be the same. but the memories we share, it'll always be there!
thank you for the music
