it's a sad, long journey to take alone..even just for a day..

reached home at an unholy timing after voices meeting in school yesterday. a 14 hour meeting. omg. mentally draining=P. had to decide 27 songs for emerge next year and more importantly, who to sing what, taking into consideration all the preferred song genres, the suitable genres that the vocalist can sing, suitable pairings, suitable vocal range, whether the vocalist can dance, act sexy...etc etc.

so many considerations, so many possible combinations, some of which may be potential screw-ups during emerge.

i think the voices peeps, if anyone is reading this, have to really thank joel and marcus. for the pure effort and hard work put in. and the faith they have in the vocalists. hopefully they can really pull it off, else it'll be a waste of effort discussing endlessly yesterday.

i think i'm like the bad guy in there, with jim. in order not to compromise standards, i would rather axe people, then to find them a song for the sake of giving them a bit part in the concert. maybe i'm just more hard-hearted than joel, yanjia and winnie.=P

but hopefully, just hopefully, the decisions we made are correct and everything works out =P. else...joel's gonna have a major headache in the buildup to the concert =X.

and i'm happy with my part=D. very happy. one song, no more, no less. i don't think i would be able to cope with 2 or more anyway. perfect=)

and it's day 2 of cycle 2 this week. a necessary evil, but very torturous. voices distracted me yesterday, but what to do today? i predict, my mood will just keep going downhill today.

murphy strikes back...

after deliberating for so many days on where to go on tues, eventually i went for voices meeting in school. for the past few days,i have been thinking which one to go for: voices, sentosa with the oweek peeps and iras outing.

in the end fate decided for me. how ironic eh, when you spend quite some time fretting over which one to go, murphy strikes and it's decided by the forces above =P

to my dear: it's okay. we can have all the time to spend when you get well okays?=) remember the christmas period? =) and cycling, we can do that anyday too =)

get well soon, dear...

coz baby i wrote this, i wrote this, for you...

humming a love song...

哼情歌-徐佳莹

在无关紧要的场合 都会想起这首歌
是因为 你曾经哼唱着
再平淡无奇的眼神 都会想起你呢
是因为 我曾被你凝望着

我只好夜夜哼情歌 是因为她拥着你了
不想往事因为你们背影而毫无气色了
是不是还爱着你呢 所以我心还在跳动着

还有什么舍不得 也只能哼情歌

was shuffling my music player in pure boredom today and was reminded of this song. the lyrics is only 2 paragraphs long, but... for some strange reason, i felt so touched. the title of the song literally means humming a love song, and the composer says this song was written based on a tune that her ex used to hum. the lyrics were short and simple, but the part that caught me was a part of the song that the singer hummed the tune instead of singing any lyrics.

so melancholic, so despairing, so...

sad.

sometimes, tunes by itself carry so much emotion, that having lyrics just seems surplus. this is a good example...
