I can't believe I'm going for ktv with my colleagues and managers. It was initially a mere passing remark, where Ivy asked me to organize one with the entire Finance department, which I dragged it for a long long time. 3weeks later, then I started raising it up in front of my colleagues, and they shared that they used to go for ktv sessions in the past, and some wanted to go again. So I took up courage to organize it on the last day of my internship, 15th Aug. Before doing so, I went up to most of them to ask if 15th Aug was okay for them, and that it doesn't crash with the "closing" period or any events. Confirmed. Then I had to email them to inform my finance manager, financial controller and finance director, and the rest too; so that it's black and white. I took SO LONG to type that email because I was overly-causcious at my use of words. Verna kept asking, "So have you sent?". I was like, "No...not yet. I need to edit and rephrase again and again. Very scared to even type the email!". haha. Then Verna replied, "ya ya, check first check first before you send" haha. When I finally am done, I asked out loud, "I send now ah?". Everyone said, "Yes....Grace. Just send" haha... When I really really had sent it, I screamed out "OH NO!!!! I just SENT!!". hahaha. Everyone was like, "Haiyo..This little girl ah, it's just an email la". Ivy was like saying, "Later you'll receive alot of feedback when everyone receives the email". ahhhh...haha.
Yes I did. Cecilia (finance manager) replied, and I was amazed that her reply was pretty informal. haha.
Cecilia's reply:
Hi Grace,
This is so SWEET of you! Yes, I will be going, please include me, thanks!
Group photo? Sure..............................................
Regards,
Cecilia
Haha..Noticed her "Sure................................." hahahha!! Coz I requested to take a group photo of the entire department on my last day at ADM Cocoa. Aww..So touched. Yay! Soon I can have an upclose and personal picture with everyone.
Even the finance director replied!! Aww..I'm so touched. He's coming too. AHhh... I must really work hard for the coming weeks to not throw face on that day of the ktv. haha. I'm so excited yet so so afraid about it. Why why? I'm so touched that everyone replied that they're coming, except for KC, the financial controller (FC) who's abroad now, hence I received his "Out-Of-Office" reply. haha. I heard from Verna and TingTing that he sings really well. Can't wait to hear!!!! hahahhah... Coz I always hear him singing in his office, which is just beside my desk (I sit right outside his room); but can't really hear his voice coz it's not as if he sing OUT LOUD. haha!!
Can't wait to hear how Cecilia sings too. haha!! Only heard her humming 隐形的翅膀 by Angela Zhang in her room when I entered to receive her teachings and instructions. haha! None of her humming notes sounded flat at all!!! Perfect pitching. Can't wait to hear her actually sing. Actually when I heard the humming in her room, I initially didn't know it was her. I thought someone out of her room was humming. (surrounded voice). haha!! It's only when the humming stopped as she started talking then I realised it was her. haha!!
I also can't wait to hear Felicia and PeiPei sing that cantonese song 朋友, haha!! Sounds familiar? YES! My cell sang it for ZiYu's birthday. And guess what? Bcoz I still kept the crumpled lyrics in mt file and carry it with me to work as well, and my colleagues came across that lyrics one day. Hence, they have been internalising that song the past two days. hahah!! I didn't ask them to, they just wanted to get the pronounciation and song right. Felicia said PeiPei is gonna sing it to me on that day. wahhahha!! OKie sure, no problem. Go for it!!
I heard our department has 歌王歌后. Oh dear..it's good but at the same time it stresses me. haha. Cecilia should have a soprano key range, judging for her humming to that song. KC must be a tenor, judging from his everyday-in-house-office-singing. hahah!! Oops. That was meant to be a secret. haha. THen judging from the rest, by their tone of speech, Verna, TingTing are in the soprano range; BeeLeng, PeiPei, Felicia & Ivy are in the alto range. PK (finance director), should be in the tenor range. haha!! Sounds like I'm too free to put the people in my department into S.A.T.B(s). haha..
Verna said lets sing till our voice crack..ahhh..cannot ah. I still need my voice to serve on Sundays. Actually if we sing correctly, our voice will not crack, but our diaphragm and back will ache alot. haha!! Beware!! Maybe I can share with her on how we do warm-up in church, ahhaha!! THen from there I can have a C.C.I.(3rd), hahah!! THen slowly will have my 4th, 5th, etc. haha.
Alan Sim and Jasmine gave really good tips this morning. They shared what songs they use to sing when they go for ktv sessions previously. "Smoke went into my eyes" and "Pretty Boy", "Gan Lan Shu" and Joi Chua songs. haha. Jasmine has a very sweet yet strong voice!! But she can't join us for the 10th Aug ktv session. If not it would be a good chance to hear her sweet voice. Coz I don't want to sing songs that are too "gee-na" for my colleagues and managers are at least 30years of age. So I went to dig out my Love Medley file, which we sang for The Father's Love. ahha!! Those oldies songs. Then I realised they are mainly english songs. haha!! I must listen to 97.2FM these days, to get a hold of other older chinese songs. I've got now 13 current songs in hand to practice. I need more of those ex-ante songs. I'll ask my colleagues what they usually sing whenever they go for ktv in the past. haha. THat means I've got to internalise more more songs. Cry....cry..
