No Importa La Distancia

No Importa La Distancia

Go the distance in spanish.



A song sang during my farewell assembly. Heard it once again yesterday at ajc alumni concert.





The concert wasn't fantastically godlike but it touched me. There were many moments when the rich chords and the beautiful harmonisation just sent tremors down my spine. Shan't go into the details to every songs but the last song "No Importa La Distancia" is just so beautiful. And sincere. It was just worth the 12 bucks. Bonus - girl chorus singing popular wonder girls - nobody really did surprise me. haha

The place was super ulu - YMS art center ( huh?!!?) that we passed by it twice w/o noticing it. Its just this small 2 level building with an ugly weird roof, picture a rain shelter with doors and decorated by funny bricks and titled by an ugly font. HAHA Anyway, we (Maurice and I) spent almost an hour(on foot) to find that place from dohby gaut. When we finally reached that place (thanks to a kind indian lady's direction cos nobody in that region even heard of that place before), we were sweating like dogs, and and couldn't stop fanning ourselves like those unglam kopitiam uncles;




but it was all worthwhile.

Memories gushed in like it never did. Out of a sudden I remembered I enjoyed choir. Those hours and Saturdays we had spend practicing and when finally the whole song is out, the sense of satisfaction - beyond explanation. Just how music can do to you. The very reason why we use music to praise our god to whichever religion. I thought to myself, what if I didn't leave VJC choir, would things had been different? Joining Interact Club with a heart of trying to be as slack as possible didn't set the right foot from start. Even though I'm in the exco, the commitment I had wasn't even a quarter of what i felt for my sec choir. It sets me thinking what I want for the future.

Thank you jing kang for inviting me to this concert. Couldn't come at a better time from all the crap the unit has been giving me.



Reminisced.
