Macneil won.

we won, we won, we won we won!

yes, that was one of the best moments in my life. Winning the house music. It's always the greatest feeling when you are the underdog and not expected to win, but thanks to another biased adjudicator Macneil get to take the trophy home this year.
This is always my favourite house event all year. Not only do you get to sing, but you won't feel embarrassed about it because 300 other people are singing just as bad as you. Still the competition is pretty tight and it's just breath-taking listening to the score being annouced. The whole school gets so into it.
Derham house always had the best preparation, it's just pure bad luck that they came runner-up three years in a row. Which is kind of cruel...considering their conductor killed himself putting on an incredibly dramatic performance. (we love you Webley!)
I can never understand how they adjudicate these things... take our part song for instance... we were singing ok at the start, then the audience started laughing because the song was so silly and childish(the song was twelve days of chirstmas!) well, that put us off for a second and we left out an entire line. On second thought... even if the audience didn't laught we probably would still forget the line. anyway, there was just this massive silence while the piano was playing, and we sort of humed and whimpered until we could remember the next line.
It was an obvious mistake and everyone heard it. As a result, we came first in the part-songs.
ah well... it's a school competition, it's not suppose to make sense. I am just happy enough to win.
By the way, i was standing in the middle of the front row when we sang, maybe that had something to do with it? ^^

Besides the music the week's been pretty hectic(school life... it's exhaustive), msn was negative and my social life shrank like a deflating balloon. How is everyone? I've been to albert's blog and read his summary on life in perth~ which sounded fantastic. But no one else seemed to have the time to update their blog... including me, up till now.

well, hope you guys are happy and enjoying yourselves... i am gonna relish my own happy moments for as long as they last.
