was reading through random choir people's blog (not from vjchoir).
and well, i saw this comment, that went something like, 'its expected that they got gold with honours, so why did they scream like that?' only that it wasnt phrased so nicely and was written in a twittish sort of way.

well, that comment made me really irritated.

see that's the problem about being in vjchoir, all our hardwork never gets recognised.
everyone just thinks that it's expected that we do well in competitions. that we can win without even putting in much work and effort. well, that's wrong. we put in as much work as all the other choirs, possibly even more because of all the stress that we were facing.

and i saw this comment, 'vjchoir's aiming for full marks.. -.-" '
my first reaction was, since when?! about one week before syf, nelson said that he was actually struggling to keep us at a gold standard. since when did we talk about full marks?

we work so hard, slogged our butts off, just for a gold with honours. and in return we had to see other people comment and say, 'oh its expected that they get gold with honours.' and i must really say, we acheived this result through our hardwork. without all the hard work that we put in, im sure that no amount of natural talent would give us our gold with honours.

and it sucks even more that such tremendous pressure is put on us, just because vjchoir is expected to do well for all our competitions. ohwell.

i cant really take all these competition stress, lol. in fact, im already getting worried about syf two years down the road. sigh.

of course, there were good comments from people too. and i wanna thank all of these people for thinking well of us (:

oh on a happier note, we had choir yesterday and nelson told us about the judges comments.
apparently, ko matsushita was very very happy with our hana. well, i must say it was really very nice(: it was the first time i actually felt something for the song.

oh and our lowest mark was 91! xD and it was taken away because it was the lowest mark. haha, so our actual mark (which was the average mark from 5 of the judges)was actually well into the 90s ((:

i felt really really happy. i guess the gold with honours is starting to sink in. haha.

and SOV's coming soon! really excited for it although we really do need to put in a lot more work. JIAYOU VJ CHOIR (:

no man is an island.
