. Dream from the soul.
CANTARE (to sing!).
People initially pronounced Cantare as can-tear,
after today's full dress rehearsal, i am very worried that people would leave Jubilee Hall, tearing the tickets.
Cantare would no longer be Can-ta-ray (
cantāre : To Sing!),
it would be Can-tear.
Can-tear-the-tickets.
Nvm, perhaps i should be more hopeful.
Instead of worrying much ado about nothing, maybe i should start formatting a duty roster for the committee on 16Nov. Or maybe i should attend some anger management workshop.
What shocked me the most is that ah gong actually flared up, shouting at the choir.
What angered me the most was that remark by one of the dancers.
What saddens me the most was the segregation between "dancers","performers" and "just calefares". Shouldn't we be
One Choir, One World, One Voice, One Song?
What frustrated me the most was that we couldn't even snap.
*faints*
What dissapoints me the most is our discipline, our attitude, our conduct.
I felt like pulling my hair throughout the rehearsal.
_______________________________________________
This is from my perspective. So i have began imagining and thinking how you would feel from your perspectives. And these are what i had come out with:
1)
AHH. That wipwip person, think she so big ar? Keep scolding us for what?If this is what was on your mind, read the
extract.
2)
THAT KEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRWIN. Graduate already still shoutshout here, shoutshout there. Think you very BIG AR?He is our senior, one of the 2008ers, having to be in choir for a longlong time, it is understandable that he flared up. And personally, i think we deserve a world lot of lectures.
3)
Damn AI CHOIR. Everyday practice practice. You think we robots meh?!Hellooooo, as you can see from today's first and last full-dress rehearsal, we need a world lot more of practices! We are so not ready. I know that some
primary school choirs actually start practising at
7.45 am to 5.00pm everyday for a week before their concerts. They have to dance and sing like us too and their lunch
break is only 30mins! So which is better, you tell me? 7.45am to 5pm or 9am to 4pm?
4)
Stupid __(fill in yourself)__ section, keep singing out of tune. Make us waste time.We are One AI CHOIR, ONE VOICE, ONE SONG. So it is only naturally that we support all the sections.
5)
Hell. I am only a calefare why do i still have to be punished along with the actors?Calefares? No. There are no "calefares", "dancers", "small roles" or "actors" in our musical. Each and everyone of us is equally important.
6)
They keep claiming that they understand how we feel blahblahblah. Understand, understand? Like hell they understand!
All of us, whether the committee members or seniors have been a choir member. We do understand how it feels to be like in your shoes.
7)
Feel like scolding people. What the hell are we doing?!Please approach any one of the committee members if you have anything that you are itching to get it off your chest. We would like to hear your perspectives too. =)
8)
Shit! I forgot my dance steps/lyrics/lines etc.Practice, practice, practice. Practise makes perfection reachable.
9)
How come Miss Ong/Teachers/Alumni/Seniors/Com members faces so blackblack one? And they still tell us to smile when they look so grumpy!Erm... firstly. Please be more professional. We are not only choristers, we are all performers. Smiling is a yesyes, when the audience see you smile, they will feel happier themselves too. And if you look so grumpy on stage, who would want to look at you, right? And when the audience smile, you feel happy too! (e.g. Our national day performace) And if
you see any of the com members not smiling, you can smack them gently. =) Yes, permission granted.
10)
Why CHINO never die?????Yesyesyes, i know some of you are dying to know the answer to the question stated above since many of us want him to die. Pay more attention to Maria's last line "...... Kill you too?...... because i have hate....", if Chino were to die, then not fun already wad right?
With love,
Wip.
