After trying to sleep off of what feels like a hang over from all the concert preparation, i realise we made a HUGE mistake during the concert's many thank yous.
We, in particular me, forgot to thank the alumni.
THANK YOU SENIORS!
please forgive my absent mindedness.
On behalf of the choir, I sincerely want to thank the alumni for being part of the concert. for taking the time to practice almost every weekend, for being there to support during our syf workshops, for reminding us how extensive the MJchoir family is and for showing us the love.
thank you seniors, we love YOU!

Our choir has come a LONG way. And the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived! I’m really proud of everyone! To all the J2s, we’ve been awaiting this day since last year. We’ve gone through the torturous yet fun-filled training Malacca. Remember the PJs performance that clinch us the title of the most creative choir? Haha. Well, I really do hope that everyone tmr would fill the whole HALL with loads of colourful music.
Like our statement on our choir tee- WE MAKE THE MUSIC.
We’ve gone through thick and thin together, all the minor disagreements and unhappy moments, fun-filled orientation camp, all the auditions and MORE auditions but hey, we’ve made it through somehow, to get to this day. And it’s finally here!! So do not be nervous! Let’s just give our best shot and show everyone what MJCHOIR is made of! Have as much faith in yourselves as I have in you all!
Once again, you all are already singers ever since the day you became a part of the MJCHOIR family, so no matter wad the results may be. Mjchoir is already VERY proud of you.
Oh, I would also like to thank the comm. for all the hardwork that they’ve put in. Taking in all my nonsense! Haha. I know it has not really been a smooth journey for both the Music and exco. but we’ve manage to pull through yea! I’m really happy and blessed to have leaders like you to guide me. You have been my pillar, walking with me till this very day. Love you all!
Love, Mel.Wee

it's currently 15hrs more to our SYF performance. damn. anyway, i can't seem to remember what i wrote down just now. argh. it's not that i'm getting old or having super short term memory. well.
oh. it's my first time blogging here, now, the second since i'm reposting. even though i was one of the ppl who started the blog. too bad i forgot the password and vijay revived it. wanted to blog a few days ago, tried all kinda possible pw and users. failed. well...
gold with honours!!! it's definitely achievable! yes we can! to all those not so optimistic syf team ppl. i believe it's still achievable! i think without major mistakes such as the extra "dang" or girls extra "tm" for the 2nd set of "tm"s. or rushing for the "doo"s and "loo"s. no rushing, not going flat, no out of tune, no losing of concentration, it's definitely achievable! GOLD WITH HONOURS! yeah we can do it! we didn't go through all the blood and sweat for nothing, we want the gold with honours. pls do your best tmr!!! jia you!!! we can do it!!! GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! really, i can't remember anything i previously blogged about. blah!!!
well, just give your best tmr, jiayou!!! we can do it! GOLD WITH HONOURS! to the ppl who don't believe in us, don't look down on us, don't be surprised.
drink a glass of water today before you sleep, it helps your voice. even if it means waking up in the middle of the night to pee. sleep early pls.
JIA YOU MJCHOIR!

WE CAN DO IT!!!

Dear Choir,
SYF 2007 is coming in a few hours. Whether be it your 1st, 2nd,3rd,4th SYF, I am very sure that it is your first and probably last SYF with MJChoir.
Over the last few months, we have been through many ups and downs. The last few weeks especially have been very trying and also very taxing on everybody. Vocally, physically, mentally, emotionally, it has been one hell of a ride.
To the final 59:
You represent all the hopes of the entire meridian choir family. This is the last lap. Do not sell yourselves short. Give your 100% best and no one can take that away from you. Tomorrow the stage is yours. Command the attention of our audience, make the judges take notice. I know you’ve got it in you. =]
Tomorrow, make our songs come alive. We may not have actions to our songs, but just solely with our voices we are capable of illustrating 3 different moods and telling 3 different stories. Take the time tonight, to look through your scores, imagine how the story flows
************************************************************************
To jolted your memory,
Song without words II
CELEBRATION!
Beati Quorum Via
Latin Text: Beati quorum via integra est,
qui ambulant in lege Domini.
English Translation: Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
who walk in the law of the Lord.
Remember how the song transitions from one part to another.
As Mr. Kwei said, you are having conversation with God. You feel a sense of protection and serenity and you are thankful for what he has given you.
Yoru (night)
Ko Matsushita brings together two contrasting facets of the night – the comforting warmth a mother's embrace and the menacing darkness of the unknown – in this expressive and dramatic piece. The conflict finds resolution in a rousing chorus as dawn signals the beginning of a new day.
Yes I copied and pasted that from somewhere but it encapsulates the essence of the song.
************************************************************************************
Let the music come to you. We’ve come such a long way as a choir. Tomorrow is judgement day. Tomorrow we will know that it is all well worth it. Tomorrow the stage is ours. Tomorrow will go well.
WE ARE MJCHOIR
And WE MAKE THE MUSIC!
MJCHOIR JIAYOU!
