Alright, I'm back to relate to write out what happened to the rest of yesterday. ( Actually, for more detailed information, you should try going to Elizabeth Eng's blog. HAH!)
We got back to school and yeah, we did what all PL-Lites would do everytime we accomplished something, whether or not if it is win or lose. We sang the song " To God be the Glory" and yeah, did really loud cheers at the assembly area to let the school know about our presence. Haha, probably my first time being so enthusiatic about everything. 21 of us was a blast, man.
Having lunch was the ultimate, seriously. Eh, i think we went over our limits lah. Thanks to the great recommendation from Melissa. Pow Sing chicken rice restaurant serves great chicken rice. And really quite pricey too! But anyhow, most of us forgot that we were still supposed to wear our costumes for the afternoon's and night's performance. But fret not, we exercise alot as well! So, it wasnt that bad really!
Sec 4s handbellers were so keen to put up a performance for the little ones to watch in the library.You know, as in the last time to see us having fun and all that. So we taught our juniors a very catchy tune of :
" AS... WE... Walk to the left, as we, Walk to the right, as we walk as we walk as we walk ALL night. With a Heel and a toe, and a half turn-a-round, With a heel and a toe, and a NEW friend found"
yeah, this was our main item for the juniors and we totally got them so hooked onto it. Especially Xuan, my buddy! :)
Afternoon's performance definitely showed of our telepathy and co-ordinations. Because, we were conductor-less. Haha! So it is really proud that none of us screwed up or anything like that, you know. A conductor for a music group is really essential! Emms, the young PL-Lites were amused about how we moved to our music and laugh about it whenever we did our actions, but who cares, seriously. They probably have not learnt the true showmanship that all the handbellers have learnt. They are lacking of some concert eptiquette, really.
Night's performance was definitely much better! Haha, Bet with all my heart that the all of felt the nostalgia as we played. However, before that, the 21 of us were really united and we did a "corny ball dance" ( As in, we hum our SYF pieces aloud and dance as the same time) and not forgetting the song and dance that we have taught everbody. And not forgetting ever so animated Wenxin as she did the "under the sea" dance with her handbell gown. Wah lao. That was the ultimate! Where on earth did we did it? Obviously, backstage. At the car park where the stars were litting up the sky already. Undoubtfully, romantic! Haha! Handbells was the only group, in fact who was so HIGH. I think everybody taught we were mad lah. But who cares? It's our night. The Handbell Night.
Not long, Mr Fong came over and yeah! We performed really well in front of our families and friends. You know, while i was playing the bells. I really felt like crying already. Because I'm afriad that I'll forget the times that we have practiced so hard and it paid off so greatly. "Happy memories dont last long" Maureen was telling me and yeah, i totally agree with this statement. And it was the last time the sec 4s are gonna perform ( I think. However, if there is any performance that the sec 4s are gonna get involved. We will get involved. Even if it means practising so hard for it again. I will miss bells!)
Not to say that the moment we ended the songs, some audience stood up to clap for the entire choir ( including my family) Man, I really felt the tears rushing. haha!Sounds really emotional for me, but it's so true. And you know what! I wasnt the only one, all the sec 4s cried altogether. It was that "united" of us. That is the handbell spirit that i have been looking forward to. We cried, we laugh, we sing together, as a whole.
AutumnLeaves along with 13 Days in France & Butterfly Dreams.
The 2 songs that made me learn so many things in life.
We had a reflection together ( haha, the sec 4s did most of the talking-- dont ask me whyy.) at the prefects room. I think everybody as a whole felt exactly what i felt. Emms. Like getting so nervous and uptight when we saw the other schools play. And how touched we were when we got the results.
SO COOL. It was so SHUANG. hahahahaha! :)
We had photo shoots ( Credits to Sis for bringing the camera for me! ) together! haha! I think all of us look bee-u-ti-ful, man. *grins* And went for a good supper after the performance. Thanks Kristal, for the good treat!
Handbells have made it happened with the help of the 1.Mr Fong 2. Helpers ( You girls have done really well, although there were times where things did not go the right way. Without you girls, we wouldnt have even managed to play the bells. ) 3. Teachers 4. Ex Seniors 5.The 21 of US 6. Handbells ( Without these delicated bells, we wouldnt even be here!) 7. Our peers and Familes 8. GOD
Hah! To God be the Glory! ~*~
Guess it is really time for me to catch up in my studies now that theSYF is over. To the 9 of us
Melissa, Elizabeth (E), Annabel, Pearly,Lena,Lynette,Elizabeth (C), Maureen and myself. Let's work hard for the Chinese Os that are approaching and make it shine like how we have shone for Handbells. All the best!
To our juniors: We ( the seniors) will not forget all of you as well! Take care of yourselves, okay! See you all in school! :)
Till next time!
