I Hear You Drowning But I'm Tied


Choir camp has ended, and I'm feeling so depressed because there's nothing else to look forward to now. But on the other hand, I'm very glad that it's finally over and I can get some sleep now thank you very much.

I think choir teachers are one of the best in the school because they are so concerned with our welfare, even out of choir. Sometimes, the judgemental teens that we are, we tend to focus more on shortcomings than what help and effort they have put in so far, and after the incidents today, I must say I'm very touched by all the help we've received. And no, I wasn't brainwashed to say this.

So anyway I'm really ever-grateful for the help that Mrs Yeap, Ms Quek and Mrs Khor gave us. Also, I'm thankful for all the effort and energy put in by the committee, even though we were so new and inexperienced; Royson for the hours spent worrying about the meals for everyone, Mingting for helping me make announcements because apparently no one can detect low-frequency speech and for being so Mingting-like, Gavin for his sense and advice, Angeline for being the long-suffering treasurer, Xinyi for uplifting everyone's spirits (and forking out nearly 50 bucks for the sashes!), Marcus for his funky songs and quirky humour, Abigail for being so enthusiastic and eager to help, Nicholas for being the efficient scorekeeper that he was, Leonard for being the most stable one and bringing his Rubik's cube to curb our insanity induced by the lack of sleep, Gwen for her cool camera and the really cool I-can't-stand-your-nonsense attitude with annoying people which made planning smoother, Elizabeth for her amazing efficiency and discipline and her provision of pens, Vivian for keeping Royson under control (!) and ensuring that all the meals go on smoothly, Wendy for her really contagious enthusiasm and energy, Stuart for being, well, Stuart-ish and effervescent, Tengyong for his extreme coolness, and last but definitely not the least, Colin who is probably the most involved sec 1 I've ever seen!

And very very very importantly, the sec 4s turned up!! Minghui, Olivia, Jialin, Germaine, Weihui, Denise, Phoebe, Wanling, Yapning, Danson, Qinghao, Brandon, Sherman, Peiyu, Yuying, Jamie, Fangfang and Shijie! Without them, the committee would have had mental and emotional breakdowns by the second day. Or at least, I would have. (At this point I'm like, Oh man I'm so going to miss them.)

Oh yes and I'm so happy that I don't have to attend the model ASEAN summit now :D My throat's still sore anyway.
