Thursday,March 8th 2007

I'm finding more and more comfort in blogging nowadays.
You know,knowing that some people actually do read my blog.Thanks to those people.
Going for choir in the morning @ 8.30am tomorrow,and to a concert at night @ VCH.I hope I won't forget to bring Kathleen's ticket as well as my own.

Just took a look at Xueli and Daphne's English blog project,some points in the first post were repeated several times,but it was thoughtful.I never knew Xueli's name was "Tracy".
Today hadn't (hasn't?) been bad.Much much better than Tuesday.Maybe this is God's way of apologising.I remember complaining to Him about how bad Tuesday was.
Guess what His apology was?
I got past the auditions,am going into semi-finals!
Am trying not to get too happy,because it'll only hurt more when I get kicked out next round.I'm pretty sure,because clearly I'm not the best singer around.
When my friends came to tell me "bad news" during recess,I thought I was doomed for sure.I don't know...My mind ran wild.Thoughts like "Oh no,I didn't make it.This competition is harder than I thought,,they chose really good singers" went through my mind.I tried not to show my fear,though.Imagine what it would've been like if I really didn't get in?Mention of "bad news" got me so worked up already.
Thankfully,they were just joking.Some of them couldn't keep their faces straight anymore,so they blurted out ,"you got in!".At first,I thought they were really joking.How could I have gotten in?My audition wasn't bad,but it certainly wasn't good either.I said,"Are you serious?",and I went to look for myself.I was hoping so much Tiffy would get in,was so relieved when I saw her name below mine on that list.No,the names were just arranged according to what our queue numbers were,nothing to do with how well we sang.
She sang well,I was eavesdropping when she did her audition.LOL.

I'm hoping I can get my hands on some kind of music-editing software soon so I can edit out the artist's singing.They will disqualify us if we don't provide the minus-one or tracks without the original artist's singing for the semi-finals and finals.If I really can't,I hope Justina can help me.Heard from Belnice that she's good at that kinda thing.
Rebecca was even more excited for me than I was when she heard the news about me getting past the auditions.It was nice to know she's happy for me.Thanks,Becca.I appreciate it a lot.

A few other good things happened today,but I'm not going to type about them.I just don't feel like.
Seeing my name on that list suddenly made me feel like I have/had a status.You know,accomplishing something.Getting to that level shows people that you've met the requirements,at least for that level.
Becca was going,"Xiulin!You can sing!"

Even good days have/has it's bad sides.
When I told Dad about getting past the auditions,he didn't express any emotion,nor did he say anything at all.No "congratulations!" or "well done".He just kept his eyes on the road,remained silent until he asked me if I have had lunch yet.
How come parents just can't be happy with what their children are good at?He hates my CCA,and he says I read too much.
