the silver linings...

It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, and here I am, online blogging. I've just finished 'half-packing' my room. I need a pretty printed box to keep all those little things my friends gave me over the years. Right now, they are all on my table, tucked away in a little corner. And because the number of things there is growing, I've decided that they can't stay on the table for all eternity. I'll probably troop down to IKEA or Bugis to get that box soon. I totally need an extreme makeover for my room. It's getting a tad too dreary and the sunlight that streams in through those half windows ain't soft and soothing at all. Besides, I realise I want to see the moon when I sleep at night. So my bed shall find its new position close to the windows. Enough about the layout of my room. I'm still in the process of thinking it over.
Oh yes, before I forget! Happy belated birthday, Daniel! (I think you should start calling yourself Dar-nel! Afterall, its the right pronunciation!) Yeah dude, one year older, one year wiser. Stay funky and cool always, and study hard yeah? We can do it. I believe God's giving you a second chance to prove your worth, so don't let Him down k?
Yesterday was Open House. In all honesty, it was utterly BORING. Except maybe the hanging out with my other Chamber mates, and the concerts themselves, the rest of it is pretty much bumming around, visiting my other friends' booths, and hibernating in the music resource room. The first concert was a total failure. Not on our part, but the audience. I don't think there was much publicity given to it, given the fact that the performers to audience ratio was greatly tipped in favour of the performers. Anyhow, I think we took it with fortitude and still gave our best for both Wiren and Resphigi. Although we were not quite warmed up yet. The turnout for the second concert timing was much better. And of course, like every performance, I enjoyed every aspect of it, from the freezing fingers to the adrenaline behind the wings and finally the exhilaration at the end of it. It was great, except for the last part of Wiren, when we weren't together. The performance was no where near our SYF standard, but still easy on the ears. At least Charlotte thought it was good!!!! Thanks, girl! After that, I had lunch with my other chamber friends. I realised its the first time I actually talked and bonded so much with them. Pretty pathetic right? But yup, i'm beginning to like you guys alot. :) I got a little queasy after lunch, so I slept at the chamber booth. Met Mark and decided to go home with him. Afterall, we alight one bus stop apart. All the best, Mark for the looming exams! Will be praying for you!
The events of yesterday folded into a blurry mist and ended without my conscious knowledge. But one thing stuck on to the back of my mind. Chamber might be going UK with MEPers next year!!! I want to go UK! Oh my gosh! It's been 9 years since I last visited that grey-skied country, so different from the azure blueness in Singapore! And I don't think its only Chamber. I'm praying the other goes as well. Life is beginning to brighten up! Woo hoo! I can't wait for what the next year brings.
