Hey there! This will be the final blog of my CCA-related series. It will be extremely exciting and interesting. Yupp, I always save the best one till the last. ^^ Sorry for the past 2 blog posts to be so bland and boring. I assure you that this one will be 10 times (?) better and interesting. (with exceptional of the blur photos at the end of the blog)
There's a rehearsal a day before the actual concert starts. (There was The Speech Day event on the day of rehearsal too. Luckily, we did not have to attend the speech day event! ^o^)
Featuring BFF Yun in the first photo (:
The classroom was our waiting room. It's so crapped >.< More than 50 people in one classroom is too squeezy for us. Not only that, there isn't enough chairs for us to sit down! XD
Senior KeXin (:
Including Senior YuHong
Omg I'm missing my seniors really badly now.. They have already stepped down 1 month ago.. I really missed how they would also make me laugh during CCA. ):
Memories lah, BRING ME BACK TO THOSE TIMES!! >:
Oh ya, I do have a pose that I would sometimes do, called the "Flower" pose. You know, like the shape of the flower. Hahaha XD
BFF Yun got the pose wrongly. Hehe ^^"
Senior KeXin decided to interrupt us from taking photos. ):
BFF Yun's tired face. Yes, she's tired as she had to attend the Speech Day event. (Hint hint. she had done well in her academics last year! ^^)
After the rehearsing of our concert songs, practicing how we are going up the stage and bringing down our instruments and costumes. We're finally going back home!! We ought to have a good rest before a long day at the concert hall. (:
I find this so cool, I didn't know we can take picture like this. Bascially, open the camera application and then just double tap your home screen. After that, you place at a position (like how you take selfies) then you screenshot it.
It may be quite difficult at first, but slowly you will get the hang of it! Sorry, my home screen background is quite simple as I just got my iPhone.
ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT. Morning sky looking fresh and beautiful. Okay, maybe the clouds not really that beautiful lah. It's still considered a good weather. ^^
At the school hall..
While waiting for the bus to arrive, we took selfies. Well, the waiting of the bus was quite long. I even managed to play a few songs on the school piano before going to the concert venue! (:
Finally in the bus!! ^^
I'm so excited to arrive at the venue of the concert!!
Selfies again, in the bus~~
Finally 4 successful shots with BFF Yun. No sight of Senior KeXin trying to ruin the pictures~ Tehehe, the lighting is quite good yeah! :D
Photos that senior Kenneth took (using his phone)
Yeah, he send on whatsapp. XD
Featuring my secondary 2 juniors and him (:
*So cute hor?* XD
HAHA the boys have to wear black pants for the whole day!! XD
Luckily we girls can wear our skirts before changing to our costume (fyi, long shirts that I almost trip and fall)
Wahh act until so swag.. Omg what's wrong with me.. Keep on complimenting people.. ._.
Reached PLMGS, the venue of our concert!! The school is full of plants and trees, so greenary!
We're lame okay, pictures of our black shoes. Yeah, we have to wear black shoes to perform onstage. Oh oh, and our instruments cases are in the picture too. XD
I really love the lighting, but my eyes are so small x.x
Oh oh, and my specs is slanted.. Sigh..
While waiting to go somewhere to put our stuffs, we make a star using our fingers. Guess which one is my hand? (:
Finally, after standing at the foyer for minutes, we headed for lunch~~
Waiting time for lunch was long, I was anticipated about what I will have for lunch..
However..
We ended up rehearsing first T.T
I was like "Noooo.. My lunchhh..."
Yupp, it was just pictures of mineral water bottles..
Selfie in the canteen before we were told to go to the concert hall >:
Heading to the concert hall now..
Candid shot of Senior YuHong.
Camera quality the best!! *thumbs up*
Outside of the concert hall.
I just had to take the scenic view outside the concert hall.. I can't resist myself.. ._.
It's just the tress, plants, the clouds, the beautiful sky and a part of the building of the concert hall. XD
CO people heading inside the concert for rehearsal!
Yeah, we were waiting for further instructions before going inside the concert hall.
Off we goooo~~
My second time in this concert. Okay.. Bad memories from the first time there..
Nono.. I should be talking about the good memories now. No negative and bad memories, forget forget just forget. Oh mann.. Those bad memories are starting to visualize inside my head right now..
Anyways, back to this..
The grand stage..
They were setting up the percussion instruments first!!
Lots of seats in the concert hall. :O
Just realised how big the concert hall is. Aaahhh
Well, we did not rehearse our pieces that we were performing that night. It was just a tech-run rehearsal.. The teachers were just timing us how long we take to put the chairs. We bascially just sit there and just look around the wide concert hall.. No practicing of songs.. Sighh ):
After tech-run rehearsal, selfies with two of my adorable secondary one juniors!! They volunteered to help out for the concert, awesome juniors I have. *proud senior here*
Finally, the actual lunch. I was starving alright.. XD
Candid shots again.. Featuring my seniors and juniors. (:
Yeah.. Our lunch hmmm... Anticipate the dinner meal, it's quite awesome~~
Senior YuHong~~ *peace sign*
Took a picture with Zi Hean since I saw him at the canteen.
Took the chance to take a picture with him as he would be busy with his backstage crew work.
To be honest, his shirt quite cool ehh.. XD *BATMAN*
Zi Hean with Dylan XD
Sieg Chew? Idk what's the first word, but it's pronoucned as "sake" XD
I'm so sorry if I typed it wrongly, Mr Chew.
The school has a piano. Weeee..
Guess what? I managed to practice my concert piece there. (Yeah, my concert was a day after COBDS, it was quite stressful as I've to tackle with two concerts)
Wanted to take a photo with my juniors. Look what happened.. XD
Hilarious seniors I have in my CCA (':
Finally (: But spammed so many photos ._.
My 3 juniors who have taken their time to come and help out!! Love you guys~ <3
Sky looking good in the afternoon.
I love the view outside the concert hall. It's just breath-taking (Too exaggerated I know, I'm just saying that the view is too beautiful)
At the hall, doing nothing. For me, I brought homework. HAHAHA
In the end, I didn't complete most of the homework I brought there. I'm so distracted to even do my homework. Haaaaa ^^"
Maybe I took some time to practice the piano too. PLMGS has so many pianos, in the hall too. XD

Photo with Alicia, the current Chairperson in BDSCO!
|
Just a disclaimer alright, look at the caption. =]
 |
| YuHong took this, not me (= |
Surprisingly, we took only a few selfies in the hall. >:
Anyways, photo with Senior YuHong!
*kind of like this picture. hehehe*
 |
| Guess whose hair is this? |
Went to the Concert Hall to watch the other performing groups such as the Chinese Dance, Band and Malay Dance.
Yeah.. We had no rehearsal as our conductor was not here ):
Selfie in the concert hall. We have nothing better to do. XD
 |
| Pano of the concert hall. |
Our percussion instruments were at the back of the stage., Like duhh Geraldine. ._.
Finally out of the freezing col back stage.. Brrrr...
 |
| Finally out.. |
Loads of selfies coming up. Get ready.. XD
Be mentally prepared for this alright.. (:
Saw some amazing designs done by the Art Club and the secondary one (or is it secondary two?) students!
They obviously have better artistic skills than me. Guys, I failed art alright, I can't draw T.T
Drawing/painting/anything to do with art, IS NOT MY TALENT.
Thus, don't ever tell me to draw something. (Not even a stickman) because I've no imagination and I am bad at drawing stuff. ):
Lots and lots of double-side tap.
Hahaha.. Look at my senior's hand (full of squarish double side tape on her hand XD)
Inside the concert hall, I met my secondary two juniors (One from the plucking section and one from the cello section)
Don't mind my face, quite unglam lah..
Those two juiors are so pretty and cute (:
 |
| Photo with juniors. (: |
Decided to try some jump shots with Senior Kenneth.
Turned out to be quite funny.
I've no sync with Kenneth's jumping, my bad.
Don't mind the unglamness in the pictures arhh.
Back in the hall, with HOMEWORK. >:
As usual, I'm too distracted to even do my homework, which is why I procrastinate a lot these days..
Quite unglam lah, but you'll thank me in the future. XD
When you see your times in BDS, you'll think back of that. :D
*Please don't kill me, thank you*
 |
| Oops.. Sorry Kenneth. (: |
Saw Rachel outside of the hall and took pictures with her :D
Lighting was pretty bad.. ):
There are teachers in the background too.
At least we took a better picture after my performance at the concert hall. ^^
Omg, Rachel's taller than me already. I became shorter sighh.. ;-;
Omg my hair really cmi.. Short hair problems. )':
We were talking about something regarding the concert.
You'll see the teacher in the ground (aka my Chinese teacher) telling us to go other place to take the picture as they are behind us.
Then Senior YuHong "lied" to them that they were not featured.
I believed her until I saw the photos XD
Waiting for our turn to rehearse. IT WAS EXTREMELY LONG. )':
It was so long that I took quite a number of selfies at the backstage.
Firstly, selfie with BFF Yun. (Don't ask why I take half-face pictures of myself, I tend to have the habit of it already)
My signature pose XD
Credits: Senior YuHong (?)
I'm sorry, I forgotten who took this picture. ):
Told you I can't have a decent candid picture of myself.
I didn't even know that the next two pictures were taken, terribly unglam.
However, I do love my side braid. XD
The only thing that looks decent in the picture.
DISCLAIMER: I didn't take the following pictures.
BFF Yun looks damn sian.. ._.
My Secondary 2 Junior (aka my classmate's sister)
She's camera-shy, I think. (not close to her lah, sorry)
Dylan trying to play the Erhu (Chinese Orchestra String Instrument)
From this photo onward, the photos were taken by me (:
Something cool about this school: It has a wall of the Periodic Table, like the elements in the periodic table. It's like so cool. (because my school doesn't have one XD)
Snapchats screen-shot from my junior.
My gosh.. My hair is really cmi.. Candid shots as well.. Haiss
Oh oh, anti-social people here. >:(
My junior spelled my name correctly. :')
Hmm.. I looked okay in this picture, pheww..
I wanted to take a picture with Junior LiTing, and this happened.
Look who's looking at the camera instead.. ._.
 |
| What's the first thing you see when you look at this? |
Junior LiTing still don't want to look at the camera, sighh..
(Look at her annoyed face XD)
Then Senior KeXin became part of the picture hmmm...
Still failed to convince her to take a picture with me (Look at her sian eye)
Then Senior Kenneth joined in the picture. ._.
Like finally ^^
Then Kenneth extra again.. XD
Idk what was my purpose taking this picture hmmm.. ._.
YuHong and KeXin trying out the camera screen-shot method. PASSED!
Wait no, KeXin face not ready (or her face like this when the camera was ready?)
At the backstage, it was freezing cold inside here. Waiting time was long as usual ):
Got time to even take selfie somemore. XD
Should I feel happy or sad about this?
Lighting is bad (obviously, because it's really dark..)
Picture with Senior Katherine and YuHong.
Wait wait, I think I saw someone familiar behind YuHong, IS THAT MR CHEW? :O
Or my eyes are just deceiving me. Omg.. XD
I'm the only one that noticed the camera, YuHong too busy with her phone. Mmmhmmm..
Last picture before we have our rehearsal~~
After rehearsal, we had to immediately change into our costumes. Last to rehearse, first to perform. We really had limited time and it was really, extremely rushing for us.
But... I saw my classmates/schoolmates while going to the toilet.
Yupp, I got caught by Tan Yu when I took a picture of them. Hahaha, sorry :P
Changed into our costume ^^
Yes yes, I know what you are thinking "Limited time, still can take selfie?" Yupp, it's just one selfie, come on...
Headed for dinner.
Amazing dinner, there's fishhh and my favourite Broccoli~~
After that.. We waited to be called to the backstage to get ready for our performance.
It was time, performing on the grand stage.
I was extremely nervous sighh.. Most nerve-wrecking performance out of the other performances in my CCA. >_<
Photos taken during our performance. Did you spot me? :DD
BDSCO, as a whole orchestra. *Proud* (':
P.S: Don't mind my unprepared face. I just can't smile without my teeth, and I can't take candid photos I JUST CAN'T. *cries*
See my really blur and stunned face? Unglamness overload..
See my unsatisfied/disgusted face.. I look really sad or something.. ;_;
Omg this one the most unglam.. ):
I don't even know why is my mouth opened so.. widely..
Am I like fascinated or something.. Omg..
I really can't smile without my teeth, it's really unnatural.
Oh well, all candid shots of myself are pretty unglam.. Sighh..
After the performance, it's finally over. *overjoyed*
We decided to have group picture (My section. Erhu)
The process of getting into the position.
Senior KeXin spammed a large number of photos, and I'm serious.
Well, my instructor was pretty quick.
Okay, we're ready in position. (Kind of, YuHong is still laughing)
Okay all of us are ready.. I guess..
Photo with BDS CO
Did you see me inside? It's quite tiny isn't it? (:
There's a chair photobombing this group photo XD
Photo with BFF Yun! :DD
Senior KeXin usual thing, spamming loads of photos.
Gosh... My face when I blinked my eyes.. ._.
We look really awkward omg..
This happens when you don't frequently talk to her anymore, even though we'll in the same class.. ):
BFF Yun decided to move first.. Oh man.. I felt so rejected.
I'm just kidding, guys. XD
Kexin (!!)
Just a number of pictures.
So freaking awkward omg.. That peace sign just ruins the whole picture..
Anjali (:
The peer-leader who was in charge of my Secondary 1 class during the orientation camp. ^^

Kenneth :D
HAHAHA the first picture already so unglam oopsie..
This one looks better.. XD

Senior KeXin decided to ruin the photo haiss..

This happens if you ask an untrustable person to help you take a picture with your friend.
My Secondary 2 Junior, Norman. He's so tall. ):
My Senior, Katherine (She also played the same instrument as me, she plays really well. :D)
First and last photo with her yeah .. ._.

Jia Wen spammed quite a lot of photos XD
She spammed so much that we look really awkward in the last few photos ^^"
JiaWen
The smartest person in our class, and also the Vice-Chairman of my CCA. ^o^

Photo with Nadyy~~
Hmm.. I guess I'm taking picture with the dancers. (Most of my Secondary 2 classmates are from Dance Society)
With Xiao Han ^_^
With Fang Ting.
The first shot was quite awkward. So we kinda changed pose. XD
Some wanted to photobomb the photo. Shoes can be seen in the picture hahaha..
Changed the pose. :D
When there's no more shoe.. Omg my face.. ._.
Selfies with YuHong and Katherine. (=
Last few selfies with them, so have to take as many as possible. (you know, memories!!)
Conductor giving us comments about our performance. Mmmhmm..
Pano of the whole orchestra.
Not all lah, maybe 3/4 of them?
Other photos taken by my seniors. Just adding into them to create more memories. :D
Polarids~ Fyi, they're not mine )':
Waiting to run up the concert hall. (featuring invisible Geraldine)
How am I not in the picture though. XD
During finale. All so blur. ):
 |
| Band |
 |
| The Dance Group |
 |
| Malay Dance |
Pictures after the finale. Still very blur quality photos.
Maybe because the camera zoom in too much, that's why.
This is the most clear photo. Spot me? (:
In the bus~ Leaving PLMGS ):
We're soooo exhausted after a long day there..
However, it was a memorable and fun time there with my seniors and juniors! <3
Tired eyes.. Hahaha XD
Back in school~
Surprisingly, the clouds can be seen at night.. Amazing~
Ending this blog post with a snapchat picture. Well even though this COBDS event was very memorable, it has also taught me a very valuable lesson: LOOK CLOSELY AFTER YOUR VALUABLES.
Yes, I've lost my wallet during COBDS. When I lost my wallet, I was actually asking myself why did I even bring my wallet in the first place? I mean, I do not need money to buy food as the meals are provided, I do not need my bus card to go to the destination.
After losing my wallet, I obviously had a great tongue-lashing from my parents. It has made me learnt to be more careful about my precious belongings (especially my phone and my wallet). Once you loose your wallet, it's really game over. You've to renew your bus card (which they charge for the lost/replacement of your card), replace your library card (also add charges) as well as your bookstore card (charges are added as well). Well, how much money is spent when you lost your wallet? Yeah, this taught me a very valuable lesson.
Anyways, the Colours of BDS Event turned out very well. The first time performing two years ago was quite boring and dull. However, the second time going back there to perform was the opposite of the first one : fun, exciting, hilarious, memorable. Really thankful for being able to perform on stage with my orchestra. (Even though we kind of messed up our songs during our performance ^^")
This comes to an end of the 3 consective blogs about my CCA. I guess this will be kind of my last few blogs regarding this because my seniors have already stepped down. Moreover, next year is my final year in my CCA. ):
Hope your day has been going on well! Sorry for that long long description about the lesson learnt about losing my wallet and my thoughts about the event.
Common Test is coming up soon.. Sighh. Last few weeks were full of tests tests tests!
On the bright side, 2 more months before another school term comes to an end...? I think.
Don't mind me, I tend to lose track of time. Hahahaaaa
Take care,
~Geraldine (:
