I wish I had Celine Dion's voice.
When she hits certain notes,her voice just rings in this wonderfully pleasant way.I love her singing in "I'm Alive".The only thing in it I have to pick at is when she hits this long,high note on "my life",her placement changes and you can hear it so clearly.Darn,if only she didn't change her placement in the middle of that note.Must remind myself never to do that sort of thing.

Thanks,WY,for getting me the songs I wanted.
Ahh,still panicking.I haven't found someone who can remove vocals from a song,making it a minus-one track.Went to bed at around 12 midnight after watching a short DVD.Couldn't sleep."Woke up" tired this morning,but I survived the day.Terrible terrible day.

I still can't bring myself to show my parents my report book.I mean,yes,I finally passed Chinese,but that was only one of the many Chinese tests I took,and that was the only one I managed to pass,if only by 2 marks.In my report book,it's shown that I only passed 3 subjects.Dude.I wish they added the Physics/Bio marks into the combined Science marks.Can't remember which one they left out,but they did for one.I failed by a little for Art and Science.Damn it.
Passed 3 subjects,but that's only because Ms Kalpana allowed us to bring it home to re-do,and she keyed in those marks we got after we re-did it.Chinese,well,I didn't even know we were taking a CA.There was a Chinese test every week,so I guess they picked the one with the best results achieved generally.
If you don't count those two,I'd have only passed one subject-English.
I guess you could say that it's my fall-back subject.You know,like a cushion at the bottom of a pit in which I'll fall,if I ever.However,it's not as if my English is terrific.
People don't care about how hard it is for you to get there,they only want to see good results.They don't know how difficult it is,going up a notch.Suddenly you're forced to work a lot harder,and regardless of how hard you work,your grades start to slip because you came from the notch below.Watching your own grades drop,you start to feel hopeless because everyone around you is that notch higher.Your parents don't understand that either.They just want to see the same results you achieved when you were that notch lower.If your grades have become borderline,they assume you've become so much worse acadamically.See how it works now?
It's like that time my choir got a silver medal at the Choir Olympics 2006.
We've always been a "gold" choir,you see,at least for a while.Mrs Low always mentioned the gold medals whenever something about us was (being) announced.She's very proud of the golds.It's a reputation thing,you know?
When we came back with a silver medal in July 2006,I could hear the voices.Sneers.Smirks.Glares.
The girls at school were saying things.

You see,we were a "gold" choir.Having suddenly gotten a silver,it seemed as if we dropped a level.People don't care how a big deal that silver is to us,people don't care how much work it took to get there,they don't care how difficult that competition is/was.They just want to see the gold medal.
What gets to me most is that the people who said things,majority of them didn't know about singing.
Oh,yes,singing.What,pop songs?
Sure.
