Poland Nostalgia (10/6/13-21/6/13)

I can’t believe that 11 days have passed so quickly and I am back in the comfort of my home now. There are so many people I need to thank!!

Firstly, it has to be Mr. Yong. Thank you so much for conducting us to success! Without your magical hands, I bet we would not be able to reach our fullest potential on stage. Thank you for coming to all the practices (and there were a lot of practices) to help us prep for the competition. And thank you for the celebratory wine as well haha!! (I loved the white but the red was smooth as well.)

Secondly, a toast to Desmond! I don’t know if people really understood how much admin work this guy had to go through and how many people he had to meet to get all this done for us. I have been to 2 meetings with him and I came out both times feeling extremely lucky that I do not have so much on my plate. So cheers to Desmond! Thank you for helping us plan this thing, find funding and also researching cool and scary places to go after the competition. I also want to personally thank you for trying to cheer me up when I was feeling a tat bit down. ^^

Thirdly, our dearly beloved future generation president. Thank you, RuiXian, for leading us this whole trip. It was only a short amount of time for you to have a good grasp on the role and enacting it but you did a fantastic job. You are an inspirer and even though you don’t believe me whenever I say that, I really truly mean it. I know there were many things to coordinate throughout the trip and I would like to thank you for making this whole thing a smooth one.

Of course, our presidents were backed by good committees so I would like to thank them too. To the current one (AY2012/13), thank you for all the admin work that you had to do before our trip and to the next gen committee, thank you so much for supporting us and RX throughout it. I know there was so much work to do with the costumes and the getting us ready that you guys constantly had long meetings. Thank you so much for all that you’ve done and all the brain cells you’ve lost. (It’s ok, some of you are smart… first class brain mahs….*cough* JingJing) 
TongWei, ChoeYeen, Nissa, WenJun, DanLei, Dalton, ZhenZhe LiuFan, WenZhen

I also want to thank the music committee cause we’re awesome. For all the extra sectionals you've done to make sure we put up the best we could for all the effort you put in to ensure your members know their part.
Anabel, Ruixian and Ryan.

I know I’m getting draggy but just ignore the post if you don’t want to read on k?

A group of people that we forgot to toast the last time that I felt was sooooo important was our alumni. TengSeng, Rayne and Jameyyyy! Thank you for coming back regardless how very very very very long ago you’ve graduated; for taking time off work to sing with us; for making our journey a fulfilling one. Whooooooooooo!!!

Sops! I want to personally thank you people for being there with me in Poland. I want to thank you for sticking with me all the time, for singing so awesomely. Mama Mingmin for your words of wisdom and for correcting us when I miss out somethings. Another mama Rayne for taking care of us and helping us figure out the sarong thing. Hanna and Bianchi for helping me with the ironing of my attire cause I just suck at it. Danlei for being the most wonderful roomie ever and the random chit chat in the room while waiting for our hair to dry. :D

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!! And my lunch and dinner buddies!! Thanks for the good food and times!! You have made these time the ultimate de-stressing times during the competition and awesome celebratory parties after!

To the choir, thank you for being there and staying with me. I know I am not the best SC of all times but thank you for the opportunity to learn and thank you for not criticizing my bad conducting. Thank you for believing in me when I take the lead before Mr. Yong comes. Thank you for taking out so much time to come for practices and giving your all. Thank you for being my friends and (omg I am going to cry…) supporting me for the whole year. Thank you for putting in the hard work together with me and celebrating our victory! First and second place yo!

Last but definitely not least, thank you baby. Thank you for taking care of me the whole time, for supporting me emotionally, for being there. Thank you for loving me and facing my bits of unreasonableness here and there. Thank you for playing along with my childishness and doing weird stuff in front of me to make me smile. And thank you for only doing those weird stuff in front of me so others don’t believe me when I tell them haha. Thank you baby, I really do love you and I am so happy and so grateful that I had you by me in Krakow, Poland.

A Zoo In My Mind

I don't quite know what I am feeling now. It’s funny how so many emotions can happen at the same time.

I love for him has increased and when he say such sweet things, it makes me feel so blessed and so thankful. I feel so close to him but the distance between us makes me feel like I need more. It’s a drug and I am sure as hell addicted. I feel so happy to have him in my life but I feel like I need more. I'm a greedy girl.

Today I realized I got recommended back to hall but the acceptance to hall is voided since I did not apply for one earlier. It was not in the terms and conditions nor known to me beforehand. I thought they were two separate systems. Anyway, I feel so happy that I got accepted yet feel that it is so wasted that it is voided. Before today I was totally fine with not getting accepted but now, I really want my hall. I am trying to file an appeal to apply now and get the hall. And I am full of hope that it will pass. I am so excited about how campus life would be for the next academic year.

I am just bursting with emotions now. So many feelings that overwhelm me yet focusing on just one are not possible. You concentrate on one topic and you have so many contradicting feelings already, not to mention two. It's like a zoo in my mind. This would actually make quite a nice poem but I am just too tired tonight to start drafting one. It is time to go nite nite.
