Let's show Seoul/Korea the VC thang!

I must have been taking too long a break from VC. I am only realizing how much I miss singing in VC. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. That's the kind of material we are made of. I mean it's not exactly great that we rise up to the challenge only when we are in some sort of a near crisis or as MuSeS would sing, time is running out, we always manage to band together as one fighting unit and give it our all.

I really didn't want to interrupt gabs during his combine during the last sat's prac. I respect this dude's devotion and blinded dedication to the cause, something I could relate to very much. Well, I see a lot of him in me, both goods and bads. At his age, I was equally blindly devoted to my responsibilities to accomplish and perfect everything I was tasked to do. Equally brash and maybe rash. Similarly blunt and straightforward I guess.

His talent is undoubted but time and more experiences with different choirs would definitely aid his growth as a musician. I wish him the best and I really hope to see him establish himself as his own one day.

It felt really good, seeing ppl like mingguo giving gabs a senior's assurance and giving him credit for his work. Sandy mommy going around making sure everyone follows her instructions in staying warm and healthy and FAT(several layers of clothes and winter jacket..argh..) for the trip.

I am kindda proud of this current batch of leaders, for the amount of effort and passion they have put into this. Not that it has anything to do with me but somewhat, being their grand grand senior and seeing them getting into the groove of running the choir and coping well with a major project like this makes me "beam" somewhat, whenever I mention VC and our current project.

I'm sure the young ones will soon grow in statue and I sincerely hope they'd stay on to preserve and further enhance VC's reputation as not only a top notch choir, but also a family of dedicated singers.

We heart VC.

Shower us with your blessings and well wishes, we'd do Singapura proud =)
