Feel (&find) the love!

2010-01-30T08:05:00.000-08:00

I know Dahil Sayo is in Tagalog and it's difficult to understand what you're singing let alone know what to feel.

This instrumental version will help you distinct the 2 different moods present in the song.

This version is duet between the English & Tagalog version.

Note to all, this lovely feeling should only be expressed from the start of the "dahil sayo" verses.

If all else fails, & you really cannot feel or find the love in your heart, I hope you find someone to fall in love with by CNY since it's valentines' day as well.

Girls who are scared of red dresses

Honestly I don't any one of you should be scared of a red dress.

But if you have budget constraints or simply cannot fathom the idea of a red dress,

here are some ideas to jazz up the LBD.

That being said, you are encouraged to look brighter on stage.

So please don't be afraid of colour!

its 24th/25th December 2008. pls get back to us so we can consolidate the numbers.
thanks.

ATTN ANDALUMNI

Do you guys wanna perform for a play? Khairul might be directing a Greek play with an asian/ archipelago-ish/ balinese/ pinoy/ malay-ish concept. It's a beyond tentative thing, but K wants to see if you guys are interested, etc etc?

The play's called Birds by Aristophanes. And if we do perform we'll be singing songs like. Um. Pamugun, I think. And Gamelan/Pokpok . And-- stuff like that la. Oh, it'll be around. December/January/February-ish? i.e. after your exams and promos and other exhausting, depressing things. :D

So jab me if you have questions. (No literal jabbing ah or I will give you The Murderous Look). Tell me if you are interested or not, okay? Okay go. And by that I mean tag on the tagboard please, woohoo.

Also, dinner, anyone?

Alrighty I'm off--

Huda.

17th June!

2008-06-13T11:20:00.000-07:00

Hello darlings, we shall be meeting up for dinner on the 17th of June. To hang out & chill out etcetera etcetera. So, since Anderson's hosting a workshop, we shall be watching them & the rest of the schools, etcetera etcetera, sing and sing and sing. Hahaha.

Meet at 4 in Anderson to watch! :) We'll go have dinner afterwards! Haha. Please confirm that you're going with me so we don't miss people, etcetera, etcetera.

And that is it :)

Love,
Huda.

2008-03-29T23:52:00.000-07:00

phew. last saturday went really well, thank god.
first round of sigulempong and adam for mrs sin was really good but we lost steam after that.
pasigin was messy (we'll KIV this and try to sing again).
te quero is the tentative replacement for pasigin, (so i'll be learning a new song gargh) and the rest of you just refresh your notes for te quero aye? okay.

dress code... black and white will look rather messy on stage (i think la).
and some people think that entirely black will look very, eeks.
so i'd suggest we go for GrayScale (meaning, black and all shades of grey, but not white - too contrasting la) any comments?

next pract as stated below.
hopefully we can let ms lim hear us. eeks.

alright. less than 2 weeks!
we can do it.

we must go full swing!

2008-03-23T06:22:00.001-07:00

harrow harrow!
firstly, well done to our ITALY friends - AJC winning the Grand Prix, NJC winnning GOLD too!
NJ peeps have returned and they can join us for practs now - right?right?right?
AJ peeps will only return later this week or so i heard, so i hope they can join us again.

alright, let's get to work.
we need to go full swing. yes. concert in less than 3 weeks.
4 more practices to go, please keep these dates free.

SATURDAY
29th March 2008
9am - 12 noon

FRIDAY

khairul

2008-03-18T01:56:00.000-07:00

omg! yes.
THREE WEEKS TO THE CONCERT.

i wasn't there the last practice, but from what i heard - not too bad actually.
we just need to keep that numbers up - italy people come back!

so, our next practice is:

SATURDAY
22 March 2008
9am - 12noon
Foyer

i think Mrs Sin (Mdm Yeo Chuen Chuen) will drop in, this session or the next - i'm not particularly sure, but she is definitely. so we must sound good.

and i think we should let ms lim hear us once before the day itself, yes? no?

alright - i see you all this saturday!

practice!

2008-03-13T23:02:00.000-07:00

here ye.
next practice:

SATURDAY
15 March 2008
9am to 12noon

i might not be there as i'll be involved in the Meet-The-Parents Session.
i'll drop in when i'm done!

CONCERT IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! WE NEED THE ITALY PEOPLE!! HAHA!!
i hope they do well!

rgds,
Khairul.

next practice.

2008-03-09T05:20:00.001-07:00

hello!

as mentioned in the previous post, our next practice is on:

Tuesday, 11 March 2008
2pm to 6pm
Anderson AVT (tentative)

rgds,
khairul.

5 more practices (or so) to go!

2008-03-01T07:21:00.000-08:00

hello all!
we have successfully completed 2 saturday practices - and both weren't to bad, just that it's unfortunate that some of you cannot make it.

as told by some, jc choirs also have practices on sats morning, so eeks. very hard. and some of you are going to fly off to italy (is it?), double eeks!

i hope we can really get the full strength to combine the songs and to reaffirm that we sound alright and fine. we're not going for SYF or rive del garda (or somesort) but, just get the chords and pitching right (me included - still working on some notes.) so we don't lose face (whats the chinese phrase? sia sway?) while performing on stage.

the concert is coming really close - next month! and we have few practices left.
next practice will be on:

SATURDAY
8 March 2008
9am to 12noon
Foyer

(please note: the school will be at Sentosa on 7th March, Friday - the entire day. so there's no choir practice then for both alumni chorus and main choir)

March Vacation Holiday Practices:

Tuesday, 11 March 2008
2pm to 6pm
Anderson AVT (tentative)

Friday, 14 March 2008
2pm to 6pm
Anderson AVT (tentative)
[j2s might need time out to revise for common tests the following week, and some jc peeps are flying off for competition, so i'll keep this date tentative and will confirm when i can get response - TAG!)

As of now, these are the conductors for the 3 songs.

Adam Lay Ybounden - Yee Ching
Pasigin - Khairul
Sigulempong - Yukang

we'll see how we progress and then confirm again whether the conductors are required to be in the chorus.

alright, i think that's all for now - look forward to the next practice!

rgds,
khairul.

p.s. just to share an interesting song-

sops & basses rock.

2008-02-25T05:09:00.000-08:00

hoot!
it was a fruitful session last Saturday, albeit it was just sops and basses.
normally it is altos and tenors dominating - so what it means?
we actually have a decent number (add all the sections together)!

we have 3 songs;
pasigin
adam lay ybounden
sigulempong

just to update:

outfit theme for alumni chorus is black/white/grayscale
concert is 12th April (Saturday) VCH
our slot is in the 2nd half (with acapella & musical)
main choir is singing 8 songs
guest choir: ACS I

from what i've gathered - next week is common test week for the JCs, so JC peeps might not be able to make it this Saturday? yes? no? tell me if we should cancel the session... (TAG)
so tentatively, next practice:

SATURDAY
1 MARCH 2008
9am - 12noon
Foyer

rgds,
khairul

next practice.

[scores removed. i dont want to go to jail. haha]

first practice!

2008-02-02T22:35:00.000-08:00

well done to us!
i remembered someone saying "hey! we sound like a choir!"

it wasn't too bad for a first practice -combined, in fact- despite that some of us have not sung for 4 years! yikes! actually, no. we sounded quite good, though we're lacking in tenors severely. (okay honestly, we'll be glad to get more numbers though guys esp.)

next practice will be the friday after CNY.
i wiiiiiiiiiiillllllll try to squeeeeeeeeeze in a saturday practice for our dear NSboys and others who want to join but cannot make it on fridays.

anyhoo! it was a great first practice!
see you in the next practice and before i forget...
