Cork International Choral Festival.
a recap on the Ireland, cork trip.
27th April;
the haze cleared; we flew there.
we practiced; we got depressed.
we didnt give up; we competed.
we sang our best on stage; we made the song alive.
next day, results day.
we held each others hands waiting, anticipating, hoping.
it wasn't what we wanted. but it was the best we would've been.
5th position with a 89.67%
i started tearing, unsure if it were for joy or for disappointment.
i tried controlling my tears, knowing it would been interpreted as disappointment.
ms lim's "I'm really proud of all of you, you all have done well." made the tears uncontrollable.
it was really really great hearing her praises; it made all efforts worthwhile.
thank you for making my choir journey such a fulfilling one, it was the first and probably the last life-changing experience i'll have from school.
i'm not afraid that the memories of this trip will fade away, it is forever etched in me.
thank you njchoir.
