Vocalicious 2!
The short n sweet second vocal audition that was held in room H5. Judges: BFei, Angela, Terence. (sorry if i forget somebody's name) *summershanshine: it's Georgina.. oh hor.. ;p

NEXt..

Vic Lum. woah, pretty face got voice to match with wor!

pitching test, can't follow the pitch is it..
or is it because sing song need to do special facial expression to impress the judges?...
actually, i already forgot why he did that face, haha.. *ah, don't beat me!

good!! bravo!!! dunno results..

and then nobody liao, so when everybody wanted to "sao dong" n go home, suddenly Joseph Lok walked in and said sheepishly:
"err, i don't want to be involved, but can you test my voice?"

hmm...

"my mom thinks that i have a great voice, so i want to know whether is it true or just her opinion."

oh...

HAahahAhaHAaHAHAahahaAHAhahaAhaahahaHaa!

**dewy-eyes has limited & distorted memory, if misquoted anybody, please notify for rectification.

so little cool ol' Joe served up a hot soup of chicken melody for the weary soul. And oh my, it tastes good!!

Boon Fei: "Yooouuuuu...... have nice voice. but you need to learn how to breathe (*joseph doesn't know how to breathe?!) so that you can bring out your voice better."

"if you don't mind, you can lie down on the floor now"

*i guess humans always sing correctly when they are lying down, but please don't try this when you're singing under the shower head.

lalalala.......

yay, good, *clap clap*, go home practice yar..

erm.. Joseph, we're leaving, you can get up now...
(haha)

Notes:
Why need pitching test during vocal audition?
- to know your vocal range; how high, how low can you sing.
- If the album committees are looking for backup singers or choir members, strong & beautiful voices is secondary, more importantly is whether you can sing a certain melody in a song correctly, to support the main vocalist.
- If your pitching is slightly off-tune (which many people don't realise), it will be an obvious mistake after the song is recorded n played. So, you must sing accurately, if not a single bad egg will spoil the whole cake.

what is pitching test?
- pianist play something (a scale), you sing along with it.
- still don't understand? go ask the pianists in church.

example: (girl: "Oh, handsome mysterious David Goh!! Can i ask you a question? what is a pitching test?)
(David: "... dunno")

Oh yeah, during the audition hor, some people hor... look here look there, want to talk to somebody in H5, disturb the audition..

Not really la.. fun people standing outside the audition room, doing funny faces n trying to squeeze into summershanshine's camera screen! =D
hello there, come little children, come take photo n be published..hehe.

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
(1 Tim 4:12)

I like to see teenagers stepping out, in fact, I love seeing them stepping out. Whether it is coming bravely for vocal audition, going on stage to talk, lead the cell group, involve in serving, start to study more, begin to do TAWG often, or have a positive change in character n habits..

When older people look down on you and give you this limitation and expected some downfalls - being playful, getting into trouble, or just by doing things that they will snort silently and say: "ahh, young ppl are like that..."

You step out... =)

not by becoming the perfect kid in the block, but be the change, be the example to the people around you.

In speech, the way you talk when you're angry, happy, bored, sad, agitated.
In life, your daily routine, your habits, your relationship with others.
In love, to have the right measure of love you give to others n withhold for yourself
In faith, to really believe in what you believe in, n share with others.
In purity, to think of what is pure n reject impure thoughts n materials.

Talk to God a little more today, ask him to be your guide.
and he will lead u step by step, day after day, to be more and more like Jesus.
You will experience great things, cool things with no side effects when God is not left out in your life. =)

oh yeah..

I’m very encouraged by the photos & captions done by summershanshine in the previous post. “Because of you, Lord..”

From as far as I can recall from the past, I have been learning how to stand on my own feet. How to crawl, stand, walk & run.. Study & play and graduate with good results, get a good job with high pay, be financially independent, see the world, get some souls saved.. Get married to Mr. Right, have babies, raise wonderful children, make them responsible adults n marry them off, grow old, play with grandchildren, die happy n make everybody cry.

If I can achieve all this, I am successful.

Am I? Can I?

We all live lives with beautiful dreams mapped out or hidden in the deepest corners of our hearts, wishing and trying to make it come true, but things always happen. Visions get blurred, problems get in the way; unexpected misfortunes and imperfection paint a great graffiti over our own hand-drawn, blessed masterpiece.

But… Because of you, Lord.. Just because of You…

I can live today and smile at tomorrow.

And somewhere in my heart, as my understanding of God gets deeper and more personal..

I see God holding my hand, drawing me an unexpected but beautiful masterpiece of life. =)
