the theme song for the closing down ceremony of Singapore's National Staduim this coming saturday..im quite surprised by the title when we were copying the lyrics in the mini room at tinybox..
ytd's class started at least 50mins later than usual..guess all of us were a little exhausted from the wait..trying hard to occupy ourselves with magazines of past issues and those from malaysia..haha...yah bet these malaysian prints were brought in by Desiree. shes indeed quite popular across the straits as articles on her were published..think she has since slimmed down quite a bit..haha...or issit the 'photo-enlargement' effect..shes pretty nice and friendly..no airs..n of cos pretty lahs!haha
supposed to be learning how to use the diaphragm as stated in the course outline but in the end we did sthg more interesting than jus the normal lesson!yes!!i felt tt its so so cool! the 4 of us and a senior from the advance class were tasked to be the backup voices of the theme song, dreams, as stated above! one good thing is tt its an english song so no probs with pronunciation and stuff and its quite catchy too! so after practising a few rounds with laoshi's presence, OFF we went into the studio!haha..imagine us the 4 'teletubbies' ( acc. to laoshi we do look like one) in the seethrough room with music blasting into our ears..haha...the feeling? SHIOK!
yah, 4th time into the studio and the fear of being in it is slowing decreasing:) so the four of us were crowding around the mike stand, listening to the instructions from our dearest zhenhui to sing, re-sing, pause and so on...so were in there for an hour...it was really a fresh experience i must say..though we were only backups for kit chan, we are only students from the basic class and our 4th session!this is indeed a thrilling thought..esp. when laoshi said tt we sd better than some of his other classes which were tasked with this activity..apart frm this 'major' recording the lesson ended with lesson introducing 2 vocalists..
last time i used to really analyse things but as time past i realised tt being so critical, being such a deep thinker can be self-destructing to an extent.. i mean psychologically..mei wasnt wrong when she pointed out tt ytd's class was some sort like a waste of money cos we din learn much, cant hear ourselves as we were drowned in our own voices. part of me agreed with her yet i felt tt the lesson was invaluable!how many peeps out dere can jus walk into the recording room n be backup?okie,this sds defensive n sort of a comforting statement..but seriously, it's true right? it's an experience which laoshi has given to his students. music is bt teamwork, no matter how insignificant it may seem, at least we r part of the making of the song..if everyone thinks like this and only wanna be the center of attraction, the lead singer, the main cast etc etc. then how will the end product be like? imagine kit chan singing with no backups, the effect may not be as magnificant, imagine a serial without supporting cast...ya get wad i mean..haha
