* Recording!

I didnt go to school today. And i didnt woke up at 6 am.
Pleasure :)
It had a reason though, if u thought that Mom had allowed me to skip school and had a day off u are off your trolley.
And the reason of skipping school is better than school, recording for the album of SIS for Haiti.
\--------------------/

came to the recording studio 5 minutes late at 10:05, and had to wait like for another 30 minutes to wait for my turn to sing the " whoaa send them your heart! so they know that someone cares!", i thought we'd all be singing together in the room passing the mic but instead, we took turns and that took forever. WE were sweating like mad outside the recording studio, some of us even rebelled and did a mini demo of complains and protests. Seriously! a little suffering?!
WHen its FINALLy my turn, my heartbeat was like " deg...deg..DEG DEG DEG!" , like usual whenever i had a fright, probably some phobia again, gosh i hate that, its uncontroable.
Anyway, i had like 5 tries before it was perfect, no not perfect, just well fine.
1st try: to much echo
2nd try: wrong position of the mic
3rd try: to soft
4th try: too much echo
5th: " okay "

well well well.....=.="

-=--=--=-=-=-=-=-
SO, i roamed around the ugly and hot studio, like some abandoned cat searching for shelter.
Up and down, up n down.
I think i have like sat at 6 chairs. And played 7 games of hamburger and 3 games of slapping hands. And went up and down for 15 times with cynthia.

We also did the video , u know the real one? well i was pretty shocked, i mean i didnt know this recording would b this exciting. We had to go to the mic with headsets infront of everyone and lip sync our part. AT last i got the chance to listen to everyone! and not to mention my own..
And...and...when my part came, i almost fainted but unfortunately i cant since there was an audience infront of me..
I thought that it was some baby singing, Miley's voice was fierce loud and powerful, mine was... soft, weak and.. a bit too chinesey..
Oh gosh.
I listened carefully to everyone's part and wow, all of them were pretty good. Some, some werent that good but at least they tried. i wont mention names :p
well i had to wait for the rest before i recorded for my solo song : over the rainbow.
Tr.Reymun ( the creative head of this project) shooed everyone out since he knew i was some scaredy cat.


I think, its better than the Miley thingy. =.='
u know, the song started with " somewhere over the rainbow.."
and i dun really like the "whereee" in the "somewhere".
i didnt reach the real pitch and there was some coughy thingy. arghh

went home at 5:30 :), god am i exhausted!




Btw, a special thanks to Tr.Reymun, he prepared this all, only HIM . Really amazing huh? could tell thats he must b really tired, i mean me myself the roamer and yawner who only took part in some parts is already exhausted but him? he direct and conduct and stood the whole time.
ckckckc...amazing, thank you! :D

* lala laaaaa ( LLAAA!)

well, this singing started at the VERY first morning at 9 am, remebered that the recording for the audition is this tuesday and panicked. Ended up in our karaoke room at third floor and strated practising.
WEll i had a day..

At karoake room : my voice was hoarse and tired and boring and weak. It changes sooo much! gosh i hate hate it! YEs i have to admit i nearly cried. :(, so childish i know but u havent heard what i cried for... horrible....just horrible. I practised and triiiied for countless time feeling frustrated
SO, mom decided to send me to her old singing teacher .

AT her house:
I guess its better here, but she wasnt really satisfied....
" your voice, isnt powerful enough, it is it perfect yet..no no....andd, the song is very boring'
what the= __"
Any nice comments?

Well, i learnt that u have to open your mouth wide if u want to sing a high part and oh, your eyes have to look up until the bones of ur teeth hurts.. like, i heard that for countless times.
And there's another student i barely know , its my time, students arent suppose to come earlier than told. Well i was 5 minutes late but being late is a better thingy :D
i hate singing infront of someone i dont know at all. And she's using my time for her Memory Song, 2 times! cheaters!
I barely learnt anything. Just some same ole basics and vocals,
like
usual.

*snores.

Well at least i improved n thats already satisfying me..

*grins.

* ai! ai ! ai!

ai! ai! ai!
thats the funny expression wordy i read from some fiction book we were suppose to read at school 4 english, i dont bother to search for its meaning...its up to me to use whenever i want.
WEll, i had the chance to use it when i found out the results for the SIS for Haiti audition. I passed *( aha! ) , and solo ( whooohooo!) but...but...but...
aww..sadly..
my part was soo..welll....Miley's part..
No! its not that i dislike Miley, its just thaaat, yeahh, her voice is hoarse and had a little touch of voice which sounds like having her nose pinched..maybe thats how i sounded now, since my cough had burden me to sing higher and, there seems to be a little nose piched effect heree...* groan. and maybe thats how i got that part even though just last night, i had prayed to NOT get that part..well.. some people says praying is useles..

here's my line, my only line except the partS where everyone has to sing together

whoaaa! send them your heaart, so they know that someone caress..

da-done! well, im already satisfied. :)
But i was kindaaa shock when i found my name just beside the name (Miley Cyrus) and i muttered an ai ai ai! under my breath which im absoutely sure NO ONE can hear.


but yeaaah, im happy with that part now, cuz u gotta be grateful of what u have

======================~====================~====================~

******************** THE END **********************

Ok the the end thingy is childish all right, they only comes in soppy fairy tales. But well i my brain was "zzziiiing-ing" and these words just pop out...

* Guzheng or Guizheng (watever) performance


Some visitors from some school called 'JAde School' came 2 tell us sumthing about something probabaly called Guzheng. Forgot a bit..:)
But seeing the instrument n the music they played, a was a lil' addicted n awed... It seems easy, u just pluck the strings. Thats all.
Sort of.
:D
(*Extra fact. Guzhen is a traditional Chinese instrument that has exist over 1000 years ago)
The principal of the school introduce us about Guzheng with a slide with a weird english pronouncation.
Not yet = No yet
What the-
But about the Guzhen was just 1 slide. The other slides were about their students n their school.
Hello? But missy, i wanna know about Guzheng not PEOPLE!
We were then told 2 listen to their students play.
Starting with the littleeee ones. Theirs were easyy. Just plucking furiously , (well not exactly furiously. Jut wat i wil do IF i were playing) do re mi sol etc..
Then it ws bigger student n AT LAST
Teacher n OH YEAH! It ROX!
This is wat i called playing. She was playing with FULL concentration zapping n moving her hand CRAZILY in the strings making the sound of thunder , boy she was scaring me.
While giving us mysterious look wen looking up. N i hate that.
Sheesh.
I really ♥ the sound of the Guzheng. Sound played was full of secrets n mysterious, it make me imagine about the past in China.
Ah. Totally obsessed
I was strucked delighted wen they announced that MAYB SIS' CCA wil b inluding this!
Oh ye! i hope they do cos i WILL sign up!
finally OUT from the show offers grup!



P.S= i was a lik' scared about my hand bcos all of them has plasters on their fingers n yes, i know IT MUST hav hurt bcus the teacher 's playing sound was EXTRA LOUD


Oh do hurry up !!
