Success!
It still hasn't sunk in yet... What we've managed to do tonight...
National A Cappella Championships Finals 2008
Nus Resonance
Best Soloist
1st place Open Category
1st place Overall
I still can't believe it... I thought I was going to be okay and resolute but when I entered the stage and raised my mic hand for the first time it started to tremble uncontrollably. The rest of the performance was a blur for me, many days... weeks, of work all paying off in those 12 minutes of our performance.
Backstage, I was... nervous. Worried. I felt sick as we were waiting for the results.
But now, vindicated. Exhilarated... Overjoyed.
I love this group. I've never enjoyed myself so much singing in an a cappella group ever since I've started in Sec 1.
Special thanks go out to all these fantastic people, who've worked with me, supported me, shared all the good and bad moments with me throughout this long journey. We've made it guys. Thanks for the memories.
Sumi: Has the most unbelievable soprano voice I've ever heard. You make it sound and look so effortless the way you do it! I've been privileged to work with you in this aspect, and I hope I've corrupted you enough to call Su Hui by her English name now :D Don't stay away too long from Resonance okay! :)
Francy: Lolololol winner of the "Best Soloist"! :) I think she made Blame It On The Boogie a great piece with her wonderful performance on stage... When the judges first announced "best soloist... Fron-say". There was silence. Then "...from Resonance". We were all OMG FRANCY FRANCY FRANCY!!! Hahaha... I think the most charismatic (and full of swear words) member of our group :p WATCH MORE SPONGEBOB
Charm Loh: Wow sorry man I couldn't stop my hand from shaking when we were doing our choreo for Fever... Thanks for organizing all the pracs, taking charge of all the admin and the musical stuff :) it's been an amazing journey... hope you have great fun for your exchange trip in Japan :)
Jia En: Lame brother! I shall continue your legacy in Reso with great zeal! Who cares if you couldn't get that C note, the judges didn't have the score anyway. We did great tonight, and we should combine forces more often to lame everyone else to death. Muahaha...
Cherie: Eh my father is still very impressed that you're the only female VP he's seen ever. Muahaha... Thanks for arranging the scores, being our musical advisor, and letting us play with your rabbits! Hahaha... Looking forward to working with you again in the future :)
Wai Lun and Edmund: Thanks for coming down on Monday and Tuesday respectively to look at our performances and give us direction... We couldn't have done what we did without you guys :)
Azi and Jia Yan: For talking to me on MSN at night about practs, giving advice, taking in all my complaints and worries and giving me comfort and reassurance :) I think I'd have gone insane without you guys.
Zoe: For telling me to stop playing late night Starcraft. Lol.
Daniel: For asking how we were at times, and giving us great support :) and also posting that very nice comment on Francy's blog.
Medclass 2012: For supporting me in spirit, my fault that you guys couldn't get tickets... I guess I should've told you earlier. Thanks so much Emmett for coming down to support! :) Special thanks to my OG who got me the beautiful flowers (and Zeying who chose them).
My family: For not whacking me for coming back so late in so many consecutive nights... For being so supportive and understanding throughout this journey :)
and to the rest of Resonance: THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Our performance tonight was for you guys, and we could NEVER have done it without you! You guys are the BEST!
