Nothing Beats Acapella

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. Really hate it. I am having this lazy feeling, eventhough I know that I should be rushing my projects, but just somehow feeling very lethargic and irritated by all the school work.

Been spending the last few hours watching youtube. Was searching for different acapella groups around the world, including those in Singapore. It’s really cool how I managed to find so many acapella groups. Since my days in choir, I have always loved acapella singing. For Singapore I now know of Kukrusann, Vocollision, Vocaluptuous, and the more famous, Budak Pantai. But nothing can really beat those world wide ones. King’s Singers and my favourite, Rockapella.

Been embeding alot of videos to this blog space of mine recently, and will do so again. Check this out, and you will know why acapella is so cool. And beat boxing too! And yes, all that you hear is human voice and vocal sound effects, no background music or any other special sound effects. 5 minutes long, but worth the watch. Love the robot part in the middle.

Phantom of the Opera

Went to watch the Phantom of the Opera, and it was great! I was really amazed at all their backdrops and settings, as it was real realistic and nice. And the singing was great too, especially the Phantom himself. My gf and I really liked his voice, as it was really unique, as compared to the rest. Furthermore, having been in the choir before, I had always wanted to see how the Esplanade theatre looked like inside but never really got a chance. All I have experienced was the old Victoria Concert Hall. And it turned out that the theatre was real majestic and nice. Quite cool also how the orchestra and sound system were hidden below the stage with the conductor being able to control both the cast above the stage and the orchestra below. Oh and thankfully, I purchased the $120 tickets, as any lesser and I would have been way up the theatre looking at the ant size cast. Well, the Phantom of the Opera songs are constantly been repeated in my head now.

Oh, and just saw soccernet just now. Oh man, Man Utd actually lost 3-0. Although I am not a Man Utd fan, I am rather disappointed, as I have always enjoyed the way Man Utd have played this season. Unfortunately, the treble hopes are gone. I always thought that having an EPL club winning a treble would be quite cool. And in just one week, both Man Utd and Chelsea’s dreams have been shattered. Think they would both now be battling hard for a double. The pressure is on Chelsea though, as not winning the FA Cup would leave them with only a Carling Cup! Amazing how just last week there looking at a Quadruple, and now to this. Hero to Zero. And as for my favourite Blackburn, the same old story. A top half of the table finish. Well, I was never hoping for any better though, just hope they can continue to improve.

Well, was speaking to Joshua, and we were saying how it felt like exams actually ended months ago. Haha, having ended exams a week earlier just feels so good. One week of extra break, and boy did I really enjoy and relax. Just feels so strange that some of my friends around me are still sitting for their papers. Well, but the freedom has ended, as planning for FOP starts. Lets have Six!
