Lunchtime Concert; CS Steamboat..
Although it has only been 2 days, but somehow, I felt that so many things have happened for the past 2 days.. Performed in the Lunchtime Concert on Thursday, and went for the Chinese Society Steamboat on Friday..
Will start with Thursday first.. Thursday was a big day for Geyong.. Cause our annual Lunchtime Concert is held on that day.. The Lunchtime Concert was held in conjuction with the official opening of FYSK, a songwriting competition organised by us.. The concert was supposed to be held from 12pm to 1pm.. However, it was slightly delayed due to the performance ahead of us and also some technical faults.. However, when the concert finally started, everything went quite well.. Strangely, I did not feel nervous while waiting for my turn to go on stage.. Only started to feel a little nervous when it was finally time for me to perform.. Nevertheless, I did my best for the performance.. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my own performance.. I guess the actual performance was my best shot at the song so far.. Again, this justifies my belief that I always tend to sing better on the actual performance itself rather than during rehearsals, despite feeling quite nervous each time.. I guess it's because I enjoy singing to everyone in the audience.. But my performance was not flawless though.. I guess I did miss some beats of the song, but I had 2 wonderful guitarists backing me up, hence, the mistakes were being successfully covered up.. Really have to thank Qichuan and Dennis for doing such a great job of playing the guitar for me.. Basically, everyone did their best for the performance.. Ling Chong and SY together put up one of the best performance for this concert.. Their duet was really great...
After the performance, I took a look at my watch.. It was 1:30pm.. Wanted to rush over to Canteen B to support Gun Kiat, who was having his first official performance.. However, Melvin wanted to have a short debrief, and so I have to keep my fingers crossed as to whether I could make it in time.. The debrief was indeed short.. It ended at around 1:45pm.. Rushed to Canteen B together with Jialing, Huiqi, Kok Song, Sulin, Jun Ping, Weilin, Xiuxian and Edwin.. When we were about to reach Canteen B, we heard the guitar-plucking of the song, "Love, Me", and we thought Gun Kiat was already performing.. Jialing and I made a dash towards Canteen B, only to find out that it was someone else singing the song, and not Gun Kiat.. Was relieved that all of those performing in Canteen B have not started yet.. Stayed there to watch the performance and I must say all of them did very well despite the poor sound system.. Gun Kiat was so calm when he was singing on stage.. Cheers to a job well done!!
After the performance, we decided to go for lunch.. Those who did not have lessons stayed back for lunch in Canteen B.. I had my lunch there too as my next lesson was at 3:30pm.. The girl which I like (I'll call her 'L' for now) was also part of the group that stayed back for lunch.. She had to leave for her lessons not too long after, and she said she could not finish her food.. She asked me to help her finish her food before she left.. For a moment, I must admit that my mind wandered off.. I was thinking: Helping her finish her food is like what a guy will do for his girl when she is not able to do so.. I know this is a common thing to most people, and that it is perfectly normal to ask people for help to finish up food in order to prevent wastage.. But to me, this is a very beautiful situation.. I know this is again just wishful thinking on my part.. But I can't help but indulge myself in my own dreamworld.. Yea.. I guess this is me.. I just can't help it.. But don't worry though.. I know what is reality and what is a dream.. Just allow me so time to indulge myself in my dreams..
Friday was the day I went to the Chinese Society Steamboat.. Went there with Gun Kiat, Liyuan and his friend.. Thought there would be a big turnout, but there really wasn't as much people as I've expected.. SY was the one who invited us to this steamboat, and we were allocated to sit at the same table as Ling Chong and his friends.. The whole steamboat event was fine.. The food was ok, albeit a little too much.. In the end, we had quite a lot of food leftover.. Ling Chong was "sabo" to sing a song on stage by someone, although until now, we had no idea as to who was that "someone".. But he did put up a great performance though.. His voice is really great.. Everything went quite well, despite some hiccups, mainly the "unique" way which Ling Chong's friend employed to cook the eggs (For those who were there, I guess you all know how "unique" it was).. The whole event ended at around 10pm.. Went home after that..
Well.. I really felt that a lot of things have happened over the past 2 days.. Not really in terms of what I did, but more on what I felt.. After I've decided to give SY up, I felt that I am now less hesitant of talking to her.. Throughout the whole Lunchtime Concert when both of us were not performing, we were whispering in each other's ears and making fun of each other.. I guess I'm now less conscious of myself in front of her after I've decided to give her up.. But this is really a good thing.. Although we are not fated to be together, I guess I've found myself a very good friend.. Someone who I can talk to.. Yea..
I guess my mind is now on 'L'.. Not really sure what I should do though.. Should I try to get to know her better?? If that is the case, perhaps I should try asking her out?? I really thought of asking her out either tomorrow or this Tuesday.. Cause tomorrow is the final day of Chinese New Year (Yuan Xiao Jie), and Tuesday is Valentine's Day.. But I'm afraid she might not be free on both days.. Cause she may not be in Singapore tomorrow (She is a Malaysian, so she might have gone back to spend her weekend with her family).. And I'm not sure if she has a date on Valentine's Day.. But I guess I'll never find out if I don't give it a try.. Perhaps I will try to ask her out.. Or maybe I wouldn't.. I'm really not sure.. Can't decide my mind.. Will think about it again.. Hopefully my final decision will not be a wrong one.. Praying hard...
