I contributed to the "lyrics bench" in school yesterday... Haha. I wonder if people will be able to identify which set of lyrics I wrote, and which song it came from.

Singing with the medicine people for the CeTM groundbreaking ceremony has made me realize how much I miss singing with Resonance. No offence to ASAG (or GCAG, cos Amanda See abandoned us :P) but I feel much more relaxed and carefree when I'm singing with the Resonance people. Still, it was a good effort ASAG/GCAG!

I dunno if I've said this before, but coming into Resonance, and now being asked to sing in random groups around, I finally find my singing experience much more enjoyable than in RJ Chorale. It's almost like reliving my RI choir days (in sec 3 and 4, without the tyrannical seniors and our conductor in sec 1 & 2). The people around me treat me, at least, like I have some worth. So no, I'm not going to say "no offence, RJ Chorale", cos I hated the way the people in RJ Chorale behaved as if they were best at everything, better than you at singing and techniques, and they wave you off. Like you're just there to make up the numbers... Or the attitude "I had no choice but to choose you for my bass cos all the better ones were taken". Not to mention their work ethic. I was severely disillusioned after I exited RJ Chorale, no thanks to my batch people. The only reason I didn't break down and quit the Chorale was because I knew my place... I knew I was good, no matter how much you all tried to bring me down. Now when I talk to some of my batch-mates occassionally, I find that some of them look down on their own singing, because of the culture within the Chorale. What kind of upbringing is that? To belittle others to boost your confidence? I had first-hand experience with that when I was preparing for the guest performance for RGS handbells with a makeshift FRINGE side in 2005. I still cannot accept what was said, even if there were claims that it was a joke. It's simply unacceptable to say such things, and a despicable way to boost your own ego.

I hope that answers your question.

Feeling very fatigued from studying for pros... Just too tired and too lazy to do marathon studying now... There seems to be a lack of motivation. I don't know how I'm gonna get through this.

It all seems to be a blur... It rose and rose and peaked so early and I thought it was gonna last for a long time... Or even progress to heights unheard of... But alas, how fast it sank into oblivion. Now I don't even know what's going to happen. But the future looks bleak.

My life is full of false dawns.

My shadow side so amplified
Keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it's so...

My love affair with everywhere
Was innocent why do you care
Someone start the car
Time to go... You're the best I know

My sunny side has up and died
I'm betting that when we collide
The universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen
Are treating me like Benzedrine
Automatic laughter from a pro

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I'd like to get to know
You a little better baby
God knows that I really tried

My what a good day
For a take out bride
I'd like to say we
Did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware
Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary son but it's so

The disrepair of Norma Jean
Could not compare to your routine
Balarama beauty
Going toe to toe

My what a good day
For a let it slide
I'd like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The mother the father the daughter

Right on the verge just one more dose
I'm traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn't perfect but it's close

I'm almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up
Llet it show

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I'd like to think we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The mother the father the daughter

You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do Yeah
You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do
