How time flies. I hosted Aurora VIII, organised Aurora IX and today, I attended Aurora X. There were quite a few collaborations with others PDPs like string ensemble and choir. The TJcian Koh Bee Kwee, who got into Campus Superstar, sang Accidentally In Love and Welcome to My Life for the band item. Her singing was average but she looked so cute n sweet! No wonder half the year 1 male population in TJ is going gaga over her.

I was very happy to see Jie Kai and Cong Yi conducting for some ensemble pieces. They were pretty gd and I was proud of them because it shows that you are quite something when you are appointed to conduct an ensemble. Although there is always an exception to my statement, I have confidence in the 2 guys!

When Xinying told me how nervous she was before the concert, I could totally understand the kind of emotions she was going through. Its like you are so excited to know whats coming but at the same time you only want to accept a positive outcome of your big project which had taken at least 70% if your energy for the past 4 months. You want a sense of achievement after all.

Throughout the concert I was thinking of things like, they must have had a hard time selecting those pieces; the mic is not picking up the right guitar part; they shd have moved in this way; gd, they have made use of the time to arrange the chairs behind the curtain; they shd play with the lightings for the band item; they must have stayed till quite late in school for the past few days and the list goes on...


I had a strange feeling of nostalgia when I saw the new ensemble on stage, listening to familiar guitar pieces and sharing the excitement of my juniors. I didn't thought that I'd feel this way. It was then I realised how much I miss being part of an organising committee, planning for an event and reap the success of my effort put in. Of course, I was also reminded of all the encouragement and support I received during the ultra busy period when I was preparing for Aurora IX. Though I might not look fwd to every guitar practices, I do enjoy the accompany there.

To be frank, the greatest satisfaction I've got as a vice-chairperson in Guitar Club wasnt the camp but Aurora IX. It took up much of my time and energy but I enjoyed every single moment preparing for it. I was happy when I managed to do 2 full-dressed rehearsals within a few hrs. I was happy when everyone in the club proposed ideas for the finale. I was happy when the banner was well-received, all thanks to the sacrifices Pat n Sandra made. I will always rem how they rushed to town by MRT to get more cloth just before the concert. It is really heart-warming to work with people like them, who are willing to go all out for a common goal.

Come to think of it, my life now is merely sleep -> eat -> work -> shop and the cycle goes on. How shallow! Urgh, I miss the ability to lead n organise! BOOOOOoooooooooo.

PS: Here, I have to apologise to Sandra for packing the holding room and removing the banner ALONE and as a result, she missed my briefing in the audi 1 year ago. Oops!
