Saturdays feel so weird without Choir. This is something I've never ever felt before. To think that it was so dreadful at the start of this year, I had no idea why. There, I've been there, done that. That's it, my VJ Choir journey ends here. From Carolling as a Year 0 in Dec 2006, to Wales as a Year 2 in July 2008. This one and a half years had made me what I am today, and has given me everything that I never thought I would ever have in my entire life. This journey had been a tough one, but definitely a very satisfying one. It was very bitter, yet very sweet. After all that we've been through, being part of it all, I'm proud to say that I'm very, very proud of VJ Choir, and all of you people in VJ Choir. :D ____________________________________
Not winning the competition in Wales this time was definitely a huge blow to us. But I'm sure you guys will pick yourselves up after all that Mr Kwei has said. We can't be at the top every time, right. It just had to be us who were at the valley this time, and it's really up to the Year 1s to bring us up again. You know what we're made of guys. We are no ordinary choir, and I believe in you all.
A few disappointments here and there though. I don't know how many times I've emphasized this but if you guys can't get it, then I don't know what you all are doing here. I've heard alot, and seen alot too. Very, very disappointing.
But other than the spoilers, I am so proud of VJ Choir :D
It was a good ten days in Manchester, Wales, Liverpool, Stratford, Oxford and London.
Lovely, simply lovely.
Leeds, passing by Old Trafford, Beautiful Llangollen, lovely and cosy Premier Inn in Chester, Liverpool, Shakespeare's birth place and grave in Stratford, Oxford university, Chirst Church where Harry Potter was filmed, and London. The spectacular Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St James Park, Horse Guards Palace, Oxford Street, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Musicals and Plays everyday - Les Miserables and The Woman in Black, shopping although in Pounds, and the busy, busy streets of London. Although slightly dirty and polluted but still wonderful.
Lovely. :)
Sorry no pictures, lazy to upload.
Those who weren't able to make it to the trip, I thank you all too. You guys are part of us too, part of the Year2 08 batch who went thru so, so, so much these one and a half years. And you guys were part of the fondest memories I'd treasure in my life.
Especially Desmond, Ching Chieh, Lixuan, Xianyong, Rayrin, Jialing, Wayne, Jiaming and Jeremy, Isabelle, Sherwin, Melodie, Keith, Jianrui, May, Rhoda, Cedric, Wanping, Philip, Steven, etc. Power, McMuggers, the Year3s, our Year1s. And especially as a Year 0, and during first three months. Those were the days. Hahah :D
Although so much had happened and so much had broken into pieces, at least we once had it all. When everybody were still best friends with everyone else. And there were no other emotions except being happy. And feeling so honoured to be part of VJ Choir, and the journey we would all walk down together. These are the memories which I would keep down the road.
As for how things had become to this very day, I don't think I would have wanted it to turn out any other way anyways. Well, things happen for a reason, and no matter how messy it might be, I still love every single one of you for all you've brought into my life. I'd only remember the smiles, and the joy.
No Man Is An Island.
No man stands alone.
