OB IN-HOUSE CONCERT!!!!!!

NOTE: I'll probably post all the pics and vids on Thursday, when Janice sends me the pictures. JANICE, FASTER SEND SO I CAN FASTER POST!

Jms met at novena at around 10.30 to go to maddie’s house to do some last-minute practice there, but ended up spending the whole time there eating and putting on makeup, haha.
Esther told me the night before the performance that she had a sore throat and couldn’t perform, and I smsed Xueling laoshi at around midnight when i got home about it, and Xueling was quite pissed. and Junren told me that Xueling told her at around 1AM today that she’d have to sing the main vocals for Zhi Shao Hai You Ni instead. and junren panicked and had to go search for the lyrics online and memorize them. poor junren ):
the YMS centre place is like damn stupid can. the sound quality is terrible; the mike kept clipping so everyone sounded really weird. PLUS they played the wrong song FOUR TIMES, wth. AND when junren and i sang zhi shao hai you ni, the microphone wasn’t even on at first. (i’ll talk about that later).
before the concert i saw this girl from JJFC who had gotten the tickets to the performance :D she didn’t recognize me. i don’t know her name either, but nvm, i shall go talk to her the next time i see her at a jj event ;D anyway, she agreed to help me record the singing performances :D
gary and xueling laoshi sang Yi Yan Shun Jian (MY 2ND FAVE DUET). OMG XUELING LAOSHI’S VOICE DAMN HIGH DAMN PRO. the jjfc girl didn’t record it though D:
Qin Nee’s piano playing is OMG. junren’s voice is also super high! if i sang that high note on stage i’d definitely po yin and go out of tune and everything.
then was OUR PERFORMANCE!
i think it was much better than i expected; i thought we’d all die of stage fright and stuff. but the place was really small lah, and quite not-the-high-class as well, so it was quite a relaxed atmosphere and stuff, thankfully :D however i think i went off-key at a few high notes, but thankfully it couldn’t really be heard because my voice was drowned by everyone else’s, and i was the harmony anyway. XD
i think we didn’t blend enough also, and our voices turned out quite , which was the thing we’ve been trying to change all along – we keep telling ourselves to open our mouths to sound rounder and stuff but we forgot all that onstage, haha.
the guitar performance (Zhi Shao Hai You Ni) was disastrous. jiajun’s guitar was okay, but when he started playing the verse accompliment and we sang along, we realized the mike was OFF -.- plus even when the mike was on, the guitar was louder than our voices, wth. screwed, haha. plus my voice couldn't be heard AT ALL. i mean i should be thankful and stuff, but i mean, people would think i was just standing there and swaying for the sake of it right? then they'll be like "what's she doing? she's not even singing" D: DIE
oh, and saw That OB-Crescent-Senior again! and this time she did DANCING. haha. so she’s acted before, sang during jj’s autograph session, AND danced for the ob concert! pro :D

and the stupid YMS people taped some wires down on the stage with white masking tape (wouldn’t black be less obvious? DUHH), and there was this adapter (to connect to many plugs at once) in the middle of the side of the stage, and two dancers tripped and almost fell over it! THE YMS PEOPLE SUPER DON’T KNOW HOW TO THINK LEH.
and in order to go from backstage to the entrance of the auditorium, you have to walk for like around 10 minutes or so, behind the whole bloody block of buildings. laogong knew we wouldn’t be able to find our way back to the auditorium so she ran all the way to the back door where we exited from to fetch us :D and when we finally reached the auditorium, we saw a flustered Wewe holding the OB boss’ birthday cake (the Ob concert date happened to be boss' birthdate as well), and he was like “eh, how to go backstage ah?” XD so cute lah he!
and later when they brought out the cake to sing the birthday song to the boss, i was like, “ah, so wewe found his way.” XD imagine what would’ve happened if he got lost too, HAHA.
then later we saw wewe sweeping the stage and the floor! HAHA HILARIOUS SIGHT OKAY. maddie: “his boss probably made him do this as punishment for playing online mahjong secretly the other time” (refer to long long ago post about how we thought wewe was busy with work when he asked us to shoo but he was actually playing online mahjong with the rest of the people in the office XDXD) HAHA
and after my dad dropped janice and maddie off, we went to novena square for dinner with my grandmother and laogong decided to tag along!
WHEE! was funfunfunfun. we had Korean ice-cream! :D

i miss you, dear ):

OB JMs, i’ll really miss those times spent practicing or the concert, and even crying with worry because i thought we wouldn’t do well. and i’m really sorry for being so bossy and screaming at everyone and stuff, because i was really afraid everything would turn out terrible. sorrryyyyy ): i guess in the future if i’m a boss, i’ll be one of those really mean ones everyone hates eh. HAHA. maybe it’s good because it shows i’ll probably do well as dance discipline head :D
i’ll miss those times eh. but at least we still have WEDNESDAY’S OB VOCAL LESSONS :D i do treasure OB times; they’re the time i really can forget all my school stress, and i don’t feel like as if i don’t fit in or anything, unlike school. ob’s the place i can really be my true self, scream, sing, shout all i want, unlike the quiet self i am in school. (hah, i bet you jms can’t imagine me not talking in school :D)
i really hope i’ll be able to join the intermediate course though. i don’t think my parents will let me, shitshitshitshit. ): i’ll really miss you guys.
OB JMS JIAYOU :D

& 不要再哭了,好吗?别再让我心痛了哦。。宝贝,我好爱你哦。。

P.S. To OB JMs: The videos are of lousy quality. No, it's totally not the jjfc girl's fault; it's because my camera's sound recording is really weird and stuff, and the lighting was terrible so you can hardly see anything. No point waiting for me to send you the videos, seriously, but if you really want them you can ask me for them lah. But seriously, the quality's terrible. *bashes camera* I think the video with the best sound quality is the JMs one :D, thankfully
