Miracles do happen!

Choir won!!! It was surprising!!! We didn’t sing as well as last time. Even one of the judges from the previous round said that we sang better last time. We fell flat on our high notes. We didn’t sustain when we should sustain. I guess that was all because of the tension that we had. It was so nervous when we saw TCS. Gosh! They were so confident. They had the confidence and voice that we don’t have (but I’m sure we can fix that). Another school which I don’t remember its name. They on the other hand sang real out of tune and got their tempo all messed up. Imagine starting songs without any keys and they started just like that (as they like). But they too taught me something. They had something that we AMC gals rarely have during competitions – ENJOY! They were singing from their hearts. Though they didn’t get anything, their performance on stage was so encouraging. I can never forget the anxiety when I went on stage. It was so… SCARY! Imagine you have to laugh if u hear or do mistakes, show others that we’re not nervous AT ALL and others. It wasn’t easy. Mr Lee says that being on stage, we must be a liar. We must not let others know our weaknesses. Therefore, he’s a good liar.

While waiting for our results, luckily Mr Lee was there to talk to us. He made up so many jokes that made us (at least me) to forget the feeling of competition (at least for a while). A girl asked her who would he vote for as the winner. Guess what he said? -none of the above- One question flowed into our brains. WHY? He said he chose himself. He’s the 3rd, 2nd and the 1st. So funny of him. 15 minutes passed and it was the time where each of us was waiting for – the results. 3rd was Sri Kledang. 2nd was TCS (which caused us to shout). I wonder why they didn’t even cheer for themselves? Is it because they expected they’ll get the first for sure? I don’t know. And the funniest part was when they announced the first. The emcee really made us crazy. He started off with “SMK”. We were like “Is there still any SMK here?” He ended with Ave Maria Convent. Whoa! That really gave us a scare. Good one, Mr Emcee. You made us shed tears because of the atmosphere that you created. Anyway, thank God for answering my prayer.
