life's stories: vocal obsession

With the coming and passing of Resonance's VOIII, there is the overwhelming wave of mixed emotions that goes through me, even as i reminisce the reminiscent concert. VOIII, short for Vocal Obsession III, held my firsts in many aspects - my first vocal concert in my LIFE (choirs not counted), my first time singing solo in front of that many people without breaking down, my first time i experienced soo much love and teamwork and encouragement in NUS, the first time i actually looked forward to going to school, and many more. it was such an amazing journey thru the past months of hardwork, tears, sweat, laughter, friendship, love, and most importantly, God's grace and provision thru it all. I've learnt and grown so much more as a singer AND as a christian after these practices, and im proud to say that i've sucessfully overcame my stagefright, while my initial audience of my gathered soft-toys (when i first joined reso) has graduated to become a full live audience at UCC theater (:

at the end of this chapter, i feel so utterly blessed to have completed this journey not just without a scratch (i was fearing more), but also with a group of friends who have grown to become so dear to my heart, that i truly treasure & cherish. i look to reso clubroom almost as a 2nd home for the past mnths, and the pple within, my 2nd family. thru the ups & downs, and the goods & bads, we've stuck thru it all, with prayers, suppers, thanksgivings, and fellowship. and as we held hands and prayed for one another before the concert, i truly felt God's blessings and favor upon us all, so amazing and beautiful.

i've so much to share, and yet i cant put it all down in words adequately. for me, after being stressed and worried about my two solos within the concert for months, and even breaking down at points during rehearsal, God showed me that He was faithful, and that truly, all things were possible thru Him. plus, He gave me friends who were so encouraging, friends who believed in me even when i ceased to believe in myself, and who egged me on, and went with me to the finishing line (: i am forever grateful.

also, loads of thanks to people who came down to support! (: even tho i asked everybody so last min cuz i didnt want anybody to see me trip & fall over my own singing at first, but God gave me courage to share this wonderful experience and concert with y'all and your presence rly encouraged me!

anw enough talk, pictures will do the rest of the talking!
