HELLO !! :DDyou know you know, i finally managed to log in.
loll ; all awhile i've been typing in the wrong user id until today,
when jo texted me the actual one again -.-
silly silly me.
so anyways, im here to update on ladies 2nd half segment of costume (:
i was thinking that sequins would be nice to be worn for the show.
especially with lightings, i think it'll look fantastic.
i suggest that ladies should put on clothes with materials like satin so that it kinda gives the glossy look on stage.
and especially for the fact that the ladies will be doing CANDYMAN on the 2nd half, i think we'll look good in pencil skirts for match the concept. try not looking like an office girl.
so here i have some pics for the ladies. tell me about it.
i like those pencil skirts (:
however, i dont really know where we can get those pretty pencil skirts & sequined dresses .
do leave some comments & suggestions (:
HUDA :D

Dear all,
Please do take note of the following announcement:
1) Learn parts for Desperado. *Victor and Jeremy Tan Sing Baritone line.
2) There will most likely be no more solo and duet singing for the 16 May Concert as the time has already been fully packed. But please do prepare yourself in case we will need to fill in some extra time and so that you all are ready for the audition.
3) Prepare all old songs to be sung this coming Saturday, 11Apr 09: Elijah Rock, Wade in the water.
4) I have uploaded the excel sheet regarding the details of all the songs like which to be sung in pop choir and which to be sung in small groups and also who are the solo, etc. The songs are in order of which to be sung first.
Rehearsal this Saturday is still 3pm-6pm.

ONLY YOUWritten by Vince Clarke (ex-Depeche Mode)'s melody in the song "has a sweetly yearning quality, elegantly arranged by Clarke and producer E.C. Radcliffe in a fashion that links several different monophonic synths together to give the tune more depth and melodic substance". Covered by the Flying Pickets and is showcased in the BBC show "The Office" Christmas Special.
In case some emcee or anybody would like this x)
Btw so does anybody want to go for Gefang concert? 11th April? I'm assuming the silence means we'll all be at Waterfront (a valid assumption, I hope, since you must all be coming to support us rightt hahaha)
<3 Sali.
