Our songs

The results came out. My friend told me that our songs did not manage to get to the finals. Aww... She was very angry and sad I think. Another friend of mine really felt sad. As for me, frankly I did not feel anything at all. This is a fact and I accept it.

There is no point being sad or anything. Music is a very subjective thing. It is an art. And not many people agree on it. Take Jay Chou for example. His songs are loved by people and also condemned by people. Not everyone agrees on one thing. That is what makes people different in the first place. We should not be angry or sad or anything, just accept it with an open heart!

I am happy enough already. At least we had fun putting the songs together. We worked together. This is a special bond we managed to achieve in such a short period. I am truly touched. We can achieve so much together. Now,we have songs that belong to us. Our songs. And I am proud of it. At least we liked them. They are our songs and we will like them no matter what.

I thank everyone for liking the songs. We do not need prizes or anything to prove that our songs are good. Most importantly is we believe these songs are good and we like them. We are a part of the songs. The songs represent our unity, our friendship, us! And this is worth more than anything. This is enough...

Let us stay united always. Just remember the songs... Our songs...

Friends are Friends...

Finally! Tuesday is here. And that means it's recording time. We went to a music school to kind of borrow their piano to use. So, my friends and I spent two and a half hours practising, singing, and recording. It was just loads of fun. We laughed and shouted (it's kind of hard to explain why some of us shouted but we just did, ok!). The songs are successfully recorded. Although the sound system of the laptop is not as good as the songs that you usually hear from a cd or from the radio, it is good enough for us. We now have our song, which is very nice. I plan to make the others sing it when we graduate. It will be so touching.

I am listening to the songs now. Seriously, I almost cried when I hear the song which all of us sing together. It is like all of us work together to put this together. We are one. We are friends. Good friends... I can't help but think of when we graduate and we sing this song again. So many memories will replay itself then. When we first met... When we first sing this song together in the first semester... When we laugh together... When we do things together... When we are not going to do these anymore when we go separate ways... Oh, just the thought of this makes me want to cry. Time do change everything. It's just so sad...

We did it! We finished the song. Everyone can rest now. I too can rest now... And so I think... Ming Sing, the girl who wrote the lyrics, wants me to compose another song for another competition and it is due tomorrow. Yikes! So long for my rest time. I plan to start tomorrow as now it is too late. If I start playing my piano now, windows will be flung open and shouts of "Shut Up" will travel in this quiet night. So I better not risk that and quietly write in my blog here. All noise will be kept for tomorrow...

Oh and I can't wait for the Genting trip at the end of this semester. I can't stop thinking of enjoying myself right now. Better stop that. Exams are coming. Ok it's time to study. Study study study... Nah, that can wait till tomorrow... Hehe...

Can't help but feel how lucky I am. I have so many nice friends. Old ones and new ones. I love you guys! Thank God for everything that I have. Thank God!
