Second day

We stay one night in moscow hotel, it seems not bad, an average hotel.We woke up quite early as we had to rush to St.petersburg xD anyway that morning i flooded my hotel toilet OPSEE! xD took a 1 hour flight plane, sat with clarissa and Mdm Ng. Mdm ng was like damn funny can,complaining the bread of being too tough to bite. and she claims the reason of that was her teeth arent strong as mine xD oh and clarissa on my right was like obsessed with her PSP xD
when we reached St peterburg, majority of the choir members had to Check In to Hotel Krestovsky Ostrov.Critics gave it only a two star hotel xD hm...it really seem quite suckish but abi's room was one of the finest,with nice toilets and slightly bigger whereas others had toilets that have broken tiles all over =X

after that were all practices and meals anyway over there we had our lunch and dinner like super EARLY oh and their SUN set at 10 pm and rise at 4 am cause its summer there but still the weather was like so cold for a summerAnd minority of the choir members,15 guys, i am one of them had to shift to another hotel,Pushkarskaya Hotel. It was like a dormitory style of hotel DAMN NICE! there were like 5 toilets, SUPER CLEAN! the beds were like springy except for Jared's TSKTSK! and the kitchen has a fridges full of foods! but the tour guide and our vice principal think that they paid for a better quality hotel so we shift the following day... anyway we took a few kinda gay pictures to make the girls staying over in another hotel feel envious xD

Fourth Day

we woke up early again xD practically everyday. For the 15 guys, our breakfast was like damn nice! BUFFET! after which,during practice,we sang by the lake and when the sopranos sang their high notes when warming up,there is echo but unfortunately when the basses try, there isnt any =X MAYBE we are so deep that the sound that come back is INFRAsound, too deep for us to hear xD

after that, we went to Winter palace, very big currently its a museum.but such a pity we cant take pictures or rather i nv pay for my camera to be allowed to take pictures inside as we all shared one which is Siu yen's camera. we had our lunch in some fst food resturant which served chicken breastmeat,so thick can! its like stone xD then we had a Festival marathon Concert at the performing venue,once again the performing hall acoustics were damn nice!we performed quite well except that the intensity of the songs were still not there...

THE BIG DAY!!!!!

everyone was like damn excited!!!reached the performing venue quite early compete our Under 19 mixed first...everyone was impressed! yay! then after that we sang the Folklore haha not bad...

THEN here comes the results*drums rolling* the mcee said a phrase and end it with Peter the Great hahaha didnt know what he was talking about and he announced "Tanjong Katong Secondary School Choir , 100 Points" the hall went into a state of chaos with screams and shout WOOHOO! xD loved that moment!

then after that when he announced folklore once again a phrase and end it with Peter the Great,"Tanjong Katong Secondary School Choir with 96 points" Scream and shout again! we reached our target of getting two golds and in fact a better one when we got a full marks for one category, i heard that we are the first secondary school choir to receive a full marks for this kind of competition! nothing can decribe our happiness during then xD

that night, the 15 guys had a party when we ate lots of food that we are forbidden to eat before the competition xD

Fifth and sixth day were all mostly spent taking plane to go back home... anyway on the fifth day we went to one of the renowned Cathedral of Moscow very NICE! but it was very cold as the winds were like so strong and also i sat with abi on both flight to moscow and back to singapore again ^^ yay!

anyway i seriously loved this period of time! they were wonderful memories!xD
