Quote Of The Chorale Camp

"Excites!! :D"
- guy beside me whose name and face and blah i forgot after the station master (Kai Tsi) said that the acting President (Edward) would do whatever he wants to those who 'died' in the game.

"OPS Room. Do not enter. Go away."
- Door (of the room the committee were camping in)

"I was born when you were liquid"
- Cheryl, J3, just received results. FYI for the non-bio people, this means that when Cheryl was conceived, i.e. the sperm fertilises the egg, her poor opponent was nothing more than stuff floating around in the precursor cell. Which basically means that she pwns. And is forever young.

So anyway, chorale camp was really, really fun. We did lotsa fun stuff, lame stuff, as in all orientations, and the end was even cooler. :D
I walked into the lecture theatre form the top, and voila! There were lit candles on the floor below, forming the words 'chorale'. When everything is dark, and those candles become the only source of light apart from emergency exits, and the J2s stand in a curve around the candles and sing really heartwarming music, the goosbumps on your arms stand at attention. I nearly teared (real men don't cry :D) because it was just so beautiful. Even though the seniors screwed the end chord somewhat, their spirit and passion towards chorale shone through. This will be a moment that i treasure forever.
Slightly before that was a treasure hunt. Guys had to pair up with girls, and the pairs are given clues that eventually lead to a locker code that is used to unlock the locker. And inside will be a beautiful surprise: a chorale file of our own, and a rock, personalised, with 'Raffles Chorale' on it. I really appreciate the comms' effort put in. And even though i though they had a very lackadaisical attitude towards choir with nobody bringing files to keep the musical scores in.
I love you guys. I love choral singing. And so I will continue singing(hopefully for SYF), and as long as we exist, we will always be a unit that functions as one, and make good music for all to listen.
Auspiscium Melioris Aevi.


Notwithstanding the crazy amount of homework i have to finish by Sunday night/early Monday morning. I.e. i have one day left. Hallelujah.
