back to basics
so results release was yesterday. everything was quite expected, though some that i thought i had screwed up i did quite okay, while the one i thought i did well didn't exactly get the grade i wanted. but oh well. everything balances out.
so we look forward to next semester. where i should be taking 6 mods. hmm...just checked it out on the timetable builder. it is actually feasible! since the SS mod i'm taking has only one 2hr lecture per week and no tutorials...looks fine to me. with some luck, i'll only have one lesson on tues=)
hopefully, murphy doesn't strike.=P
------------------------------------
so sem 1 is over! with the release of results, we can draw the curtains on the bridging semester where i attempted to ignite my brain after 2 or more years of inactivity. and the cultural shock of university is officially over too. gotten used to school all over again, gotten used to studying, gotten used to having cca activity, gotten used to... everything=)
therefore i think everything will just get better.
full steam ahead.
think will be busy next sem...6 modules, with the planning for emerge concert, with the practising for the concert itself. and of course, most importantly, spending time with my dear=) it all boils down to time management, and i'm sure everything will work out. it will=)
-----------------------------
was listening to 方炯镔's newest album last night. an album solely dedicated to singing other singers' popular songs, and honestly speaking, his rendition arguably surpassed all the predecessors. the first time in a long while in which i thought ALL the songs in anyone's album were worth listening to. listened to it repeatedly, and the 'touching' feel still remains. impressive. i felt so at peace listening to it last night that i fell asleep listening to it.=P just very impressive vocals, no unnecessary techniques, simple acoustic accompaniment.
very touching=). singing, back to basics.
i respect such singers, because they don't command as much media attention as the so called bigwig idol singers, but they certainly sing much better than the show luos, fahrenheits, jolins. yet they continue to put in effort to express the sort of music they love, to bring this music to their audiences. it doesn't matter if you don't look real good on stage, if you can't dance, just possess the purest voice to touch hearts. that's all that's required of a good singer.
and that's what i aim to do.
猜心---方炯镔
这样的夜
热闹的街
问你想到了谁紧紧锁眉
我的喜悲 随你而飞
擦了又湿的泪与谁相对...
originally by 张宇. but this singer makes it sound tons better =p.

fri, sat and sun are all special days. hope you'll enjoy them as much as i think i will.=)

vivace!
went for vivace at st james today. it was not bad, really. quite well done. the song rundown was smooth, the singing was not bad and the ending was excellent=D. really a case of, so-high-that-we-didn't-care-about-the-singing-anyway kind of ending.
the last 3 songs were done with alot of energy, it was as though the performers were willing the audience to stand up and dance with them. but singaporeans being singaporeans(myself included), have this weird penchant to just stare stoically even though singers/performers are trying their best to make us high.
A for effort though=P
the new singers were not bad, except for the occasional off-key and forgetting of lyrics, which can probably be attributed to nerves. and khim and zhiyang were good as usual. overall, a rather good concert=). if emerge can be done like that, i would consider it a success actually=P
and, so weird, although there were many girls wearing 'interesting' clothes(really quite interesting=P) and all wearing makeup, i didn't really look at them. i was more inclined to look at this rather charismatic and shuai guy on stage=P. oops. but no kidding. my first impression was,' wow.he can be an artiste already'. just that he has the ability to capture attention.
impressive. when can i learn that skill?=P
Disclaimer: the last time i checked, i was still straight.=D
