i'll start with my post ;D

The first day.

after almost 20hrs of flight and transit, we arrived in venice!

the moment we stepped out of the airport, we could feel the cooool wind blowing and it was reallyyyy nice. took the bus, headed to a town. that town has lotssss of pigeons =.= flying everywhere. we were afraid that they would shit on us .__. the tour guide that looked like mary shaw from dead silence brought us around, and we went into some churches and saw lots of other churches. well, christianity is italy's main religion..

headed to the glass blowing factory. THE PERSON IS DAMN PRO! there was this super hot thing on the end of a long pole, the person used another tool to shape the molten glass and WALA! out came a horse. zomg. cooolnesssss! and the colour IS DAMN NICE. it's blue ;D

walked around the shop, some ppl bought necklaces for their parents and stuff. it was reallllyyy damn nice lehh. i didnt know glass was so beautiful x_x took a boat ride back to town.

we were given free time to shop around that bigbig place, and we bought this sandwich thing which was damn nice cause we were hungryyyy.

when it was time to meet up, many people started running off to buy ice creammmm. I COULDNT DECIDE WAD TO EAT SO MDM SOH TOLD ME NOT TO BUY T_____T and she chased me out zz. ROAR. so i was grumpy and sad all the way D; my chocolate ice cream! D; but mingshin gave me his ice cream in the end. so i was happy ;D

checked into hotel for the day. my room was freaky. it's haunted D;

DAY TWO

5hrs ride to riva del garda ;D

had lunch upon reaching and checked into Hotel Savoy Palace.

did i mention WONDERFUL scenery on the way there?

anyway. the hotel was beautiful. not some grandddd hotel you'd find in singapore, but it was really good! the rooms were biggggggg. and there was a balcony. i unpacked and ran around the hotel checking out other rooms. qiyuan+siewlin's room is bigggg. cuz it's corner room. liangying's room had a SUPERB washroooom ;D and mine was pretty big too!

i forgot wad i did afterwards, but i remember having PT in the afternoon. we ran around the park nearby and it was super refreshing. we could see mountains and the lake. pictures later yea? we ran pretty fast compared to PT in singapore =.= but it got harder to breathe after awhile. and my hands were freezing cold. BUT IT WAS FUN :DDDDDDD

jogged back to hotel, had rehearsal with miss tham. bath, dinner in hotel. it was nice! salad buffet, main course 1 main course 2, desert. i cant rmb wad we ate though.. i think it was pasta for main course 1. yummmmyyy ;DD practice with miss tham again after awhile and time to rest.

DAY THREE - COMPETITION DAY!

woke up at 5am for PT, ran around the same place again. it was harder this time, since it was colder than ytd and we were still quite sleepy.. but we perservered! we ran and ran and went back for breakfast and then to prepare for the big thing. i was quite fast i think. i was done changing and make up and stuff and i still had 5mins to spare. the competition venue was close. the church was bigggggggggggg and echo-y. i say we did quite well for it. i think miss tham was happy too ;DDD i'm happy too ;DDDDDD

i'll skip. next competition in the afternoon. the morale was kinda low.. until miss tham came ;D i'm starting to believe miss tham knows magic =.= it's like. the moment she's here, the whole choir's spirit is lifted. woooowwwww.. we moved into this room to wait for our turn, and we did BEAUTIFULLY! went on stage, sang, i enjoyed it mann! dammit. i love misstham ;D and miss tham said "for those who didnt go for SYF, this was wonderful." ;DDDDDD

i wanted to cry, but it was tooo happy. and it'd be weird even if they were tears of joy.

went back to the hotel. wanted to room crash with hazel, but she was too tired.. so she slept. found weikai weiping mavis ruth etc watching their so called porn -.- ahhwell. that show was hilarious xD mavis wanted to sleep, so they migrated to my room. met zhengyang on the way there and they kidnapped him to my room too. we talked about our performance and the other choirs we heard.

somehow, many ppl were there. ruth, weiping, junjie, calvin, weikai, zhengyang, tjakra, mingshin, guangjie. some went back to their rooms, and the others bunked in my room -.- calvin junjie and guangjie left.
