I've Moved! I am like the most no-life person in this world la!
I stayed at home on a mightily pleasant Sunday and glued myself to the computer, stopping for neither food nor bathe (and i badly needed one).
I edited photo after photo for my top banner and scrolled through thousands of small print called HTML (i hate them!), just to create the perfect anti-happytreefiends.blogspot.com.
That girl is Charice Pempengco and she was a contestant in a children's singing competition in the Philippines called Little Big Star. She got only 3rd place.
And she just turned 13.
This Filipino guy was telling me how the people in the Philippines take their singing so seriously that Charice got beaten up by people that didn't like her (she lost in the popularity sms voting i think). He also said that the Singapore Idol contestants wouldn't even make it past the first auditions if they were to take part in the Philippine(s?) Idol.
This guy didn't get far in the competition, but listen to him go...
Keeping to the subject of the moment, here's another choir that i used to consider joining until some political shizz made some of my favourite members decide to split.
The Amadeus Choral Society has a concert coming on 25th August.
As luck has it, i happen to be FREE on that day. Anyone wanna go with me?
All of a sudden, i feel that life is lacking something, and i realised that i desperately miss singing.
No, not the Kbox variety.
Singing as in in a choir, with many many clashing parts blending.
You can't do that in Kbox because there's only 2 mics and clashing is usually of the wrong type. And it's hard to envision myself in either a ruined castle under the moonlight or on a small island when the image on the screen is of a half naked woman cavorting on the beach.
Now the only problem is how to go about getting myself into a Choir, i feel weird just poping into Nelson's world to ask for a place in his choir.
Oh, another problem is which Choir?
I'm kinda split about both VCs.
Chorale is better vocally and some of my VS friends are in it. However, Nelson doesn't appear at practices much and i'm not that crazy about the other conductors. What's more, they're gonna go for the Choir Olympics and so i guess it'll be a long time before practices for normal members commence.
Consort seems to be slightly weaker vocal-wise, but they just came back from some competition in the Czech Republic and were apparently given full marks by the judges. What's more, there's some people i know in it too, and Nelson attends their weekly practices, which in itself is a huge plus point.
This kinda put me off though...
At first, i thought, "How nice", but felt a little weird. A second later, and a second cheering made me realise the intention of the first. And frankly, i felt kinda disgusted, although i know that it's quite a common sight and i remember TPJC doing the same thing to Consort back in Genting. HA!
I love "America's Got Talent". It's a talent show in America that welcomes everything from singers, to jugglers, to ventriloquists!
And boy were they talented.
The only talent i saw in Singapore Idol was Jacintha's massive jugs and their uncanny ability to perk. They filled up half the freaking TV screen when she was talking and frankly, who's listening when her cleavage could rival the freakin' Rochor Canal.
Phwoar!
Ladies, you should really go find her bra. It's not enough to have support, a good bra should perk you up!
I saw him again and tried to siam him by walking to one side but he still barraged his way to me and asked the age old question, "Excuse me, are you a regular?"
Jean and i were initially there to support the Choir, but we ended up burying our heads in shame after seeing them perform in their Tiger Beer inspired outfits. They sang 2 Disney songs and they mangled both. What happened to the days of Janger and Impressions and Ill Married Men???
In the end Jean became a Dikir Barat alumni and i was from Indian Dance.
The first day i went to camp with the new nametag and sgtag sewn on, i got called "Singapore" by 3 different people.
I bet the people who came up with this idea didn't need to wear the number 4 uniform. I'm guessing they're civilians who came together and brainstormed how to make the number 4 look even more disgusting than it already is.
They picked the best idea, and decided that it wasn't bad enough, they're gonna include a velcro on badge on the arm and another small one on the collar.
Eyucks.
The technicians from my camp (who wears number 3, the lucky sobs) kept commenting on how ugly it looks. One kept staring at them till i had to cover them up and told him "bu yao kan la".
He was so embarrassed!
Anyway, if the picture seems familiar, you must have seen it on JW's blog because it is the same picture, just that i took away the formation badges and changed the name to mine. Sorry for stealing! My camera had no batt.
