The First Post

Hello, I've finally decided to create a new blog, and gave up on my private one. Was wondering if I should make this blog known to others, and decided against it. If they chance upon it, then toooo bad.

It's a bit late, and extremely stupid of me to post this now, but still..

RESOLUTION FOR SEMESTER TWO:
1. Do well in Shaoxing!
2. Put in more effort to complete my homework.. or at least TRY TO.
3. Minimise time spent fangirling
4. Make a good decision in choosing the comm. don't regret it, like how the year 5s regretted theirs.
5. FULL EXEMPTION FROM EOYs.
6. Splurge less
7. Be a nicer person (?)

All the above requires lots of self-discipline, not exactly sure if it'll turn out well D:

As the day of the competition nears, memories of italy come flooding back. It was when Hazel and Weikai were still in rvc, and when we were the youngest in the choir. We had nothing to worry about besides singing out parts well. The time on stage, on the bus and the plane, shopping, sightseeing, in the hotel, playing cards, all of which are dear memories.

2 years later, we're now the oldest in the junior choir. From an SL to (reluctantly) a president, we've all been forced to grow up and shoulder much more responsibility. This year's trip is a lot more different.

The people. We had 32 the previous trip, and now there's 72. That's more than twice the number. It was easy to manage with a small group of people and much easier to have fun, which was why italy was memorable. Which is why, I've to constantly remind myself that we're going there for a competition.

The place. Italy --> China. Europe --> Asia. Self-explanatory.

The time. Next week is when all the term tests start coming in, and for me who's aiming for full exemption, it's risky.

I get totally turned off when i think of all these, but there'd still be this unexplainable excitement in my heart every once in a while. When I think about it, it's my turn to lead! I've to lead a whole bunch of animals (which'll really test my patience), but this would be the last event I'd be in charge of. The last thing I could do for the Choir. Before I step down. I'd have to remain positive and see through to this right?

I've grown to accept my position.
I feel a sense of pride towards the junior choir.
Even though many of them likes the senior choir more, I like the junior choir. Because it is the one i'm leading. the one that witnessed all my failures, the one that suffered under my wrath, and it's where my committee is. The committee that appeared so screwed up, and the same committee that stood united during march camp and made me feel proud to be their leader.

I don't want to leave.
