HELLO SINGERSZ ! :DDdeepest apologies for the late late update on tmr's gathering.
we'll be having a PICNIC tmr at the EAST COAST PARK from 2pm onwards where we are able to swim in the waters there. each of us will have to bring and contribute food, drinks and snacks, since we are not barberqueing this time round. we have also thought of activities that could be carried out during the picnic that could be enjoyed by both majority of children and teenagers and hopefully even adults :D
> cycling
> rollerblading
> sandcastle building contest
> tug and war
> swimming
> balloon attack
:: balloons are to be tied on each of our legs & we are to ("attack")step on other people's balloons as quick as possible. the last one standing with the most survived balloons on his/her legs wins (:
> ball games
> blind mice
> feast (: - have to have loads of fooood
> obstacle race (this is to get wet and dirty with water & flour etc)
> jamming (guitar playing and singing)
THINGS TO BRING :
> extra clothes - we'll get wet and dirty
> food, drinks and snacks - potluck for our tea break
> $2 per person to pay for items that i'll be providing
> picnic mats or perhaps tents if you want to
> other necessary items like sunblock, hats etc .
> those with guitar, do bring them so that we can jam
> towels
PICNIC will end probably at around 6pm and we'll leave to have a proper dinner together at PARKWAY PARADE probably at swensen's, pastamania, or any other halal food outlets that you suggests (: oh actually, we can also have dinner at east coast park itself. lol okay, lets decide tmr.
LASTLY,
do meet at 1.40pm at MacDonalds @ east coast park.
ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSARY.
we'll find a nice picnic spot together.
seee you tomorrow & lets have a great time together !
lovee HUDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA .

Hello everyone!It's my first post on this blog (lol) but anyway, guess what? Concert is two days away! O_O
After the many months of rehearsals, long hours of practice and hard work, the day is finally nearing. Time passes so fast, it seemed like yesterday that I started learning Chili (thankfully, though, it wasn't). It's crunchtime ! So jiayou guys, I know we all can do it. Perhaps in some songs we're not musically there (blending problems, balance, etc.) but we can make up for it with stage presence, energy, and engagement with the audience! So at home, practice singing with a smile, practice in front of your siblings, aunties, uncles, grandparents, parents, your neighbours, pet fish, practice in front of the mirror, and get comfortable with moving along to the song. It'll come in useful! It's very obvious to the audience if a performer is nervous or not focused, so all the extra practice will help ((:
Of course, hitting the notes and listening to the others (especially your section-mates and the section you're harmonising with - for example, altos and sop 2s, and sop 1s and tenors in the verses for Chili) is also important. Dynamics and pacing is also crucial! Perhaps we can take note of these things for our last (><) practice tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm delirious by now (omg it's almost 0100h!) but the point is don't give up! There's still (a little) time left and better late than never. Let's run this last lap together, and sing our hearts out on Saturday!
wheeeeeeeeee
Much love,
Amanda
