I have a crush on someone, and I'm absolutely hating the feeling.
Sure, it's somewhat nice. Your heart flutters, you feel warm and fuzzy inside, you keep stealing glances her way hoping she'll look back at the right moment. You observe her every movement and notice everything that is the same and different about her.
But then you also realise that you are really wasting your time, that you and her are so different that nothing will ever come out of it.
Blah.
So we had our very first, proper, alumni choir practice last Friday. Surprising turnout of I think 16 people. Pretty good for a first practice, I say. I feel young again among them, most of whom are older than me, haha! We don't sound too bad, so that's a relief!
It's really nice to see people coming back to sing again. Sometimes it's rather disappointing, that some people that you expect to see coming back, people that seemed to be so enthusiastic and interested in joining in the past (I'll not name names) turn out to be not really that interested after all. So to each and every one who is back for Cantab 06, a big THANK YOU to you all for your committment and passion!
Well, as Timmo has said, one is only young once. While I don't think I am that old yet, the Verona trip has really made me realise that I am getting older by the day. Seeing those bubbly kids with limitless energy made me feel slightly inadequate myself. But I'm also thankful for them, an extremely enjoyable bunch of people to be around. Hopefully I'll not be too old 2 years later, because I really want to go back to the Choir Olympics and get a Gold there! Then again, 2 years later there'll be a completely new batch of people in NJChoir. I just hope to see more alumni members joining the choir for overseas competition in the future. Really, it was an experienced not to be missed.
I wonder how many of the current year twos will I see back for carolling this year, and how many of them will stay on for Cantab 07.
