Hello readers,
This week, I had enjoyed myself and just got back from my Literature drama assessment which is part of my Mid-Year Exam. On April 22, 2013, I did not attend lesson because of Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation which was held at Singapore Conference Hall, home to the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.
As I have always mentioned 夏日骄阳 (The Brilliant Summer Sun) and 天乌乌 (Tian Wu Wu) which were the SYF pieces, the Greenridge Secondary School orchestra was able to played the songs perfectly with almost no mistakes and it was better than the time we played during the Awards' Day. Before we had to performed, we were brought to a waiting area at the foyer in order to use a room where you can tuned your instrument. Before my school entered the room, it was occupied by Jurong Secondary School. After JSS's turn was over, the students moved to the actual stage and so it was my school's turn.
At first, I thought I could stay in the room and watched others tuned their instrument, however those who have heavy instrument needed to leave the room earlier so that we could prepare setting up the stage. It was weird the moment when everyone was ready to performed and me and my senior have to moved quickly with our instrument (which was indeed heavy). The feeling of being on stage was not scary as what I thought and the judges were camouflaged together with the audience. One of the four judges was the original composer of 夏日骄阳.
When the performance was over, my members kept complaining about how the orchestra would not be able to get Certificate of Distinction / Gold. However, I do not believe in what they said and I mean yes, there might be a slight mistake(s) but overall I think we did played well. Even my guts told me that everything was fine and therefore, I knew there was a chance of getting Distinction. The SYF results was released yesterday and my guts was right, our orchestra had done well to get Certificate of Distinction! I was indeed proud of my members and also to be part of the GSS Chinese Orchestra family.
From this SYF, I realized that the power of thoughts does affect what you want to achieved and the more positive your thoughts are, the more you will definitely get what you want. If you are thinking negatively even before earning the thing you want, it is likely that you may or may not get what you have always wanted to achieve. So let positive thinking be powerful than the negative one! Looking forward to future CO performances and 2015 SYF Arts Presentation!
