I am BACK at blogger.com :) You can rejoice now! After all, isn't that what this Advent week is about? The first week of advent was hope, that the birth of Jesus will be near. Then, the second week of advent was peace. I think that it's very meaningful because when we have hope, we almost always have fights.

Like in a project, after we hope that it'll be great, there will be some minor mishaps along the way and we'll start snapping and arguing with each other. Isn't it great that after you have hope, nobody fights but everyone hopes equally ferverently and works towards a common goal? That's why it's religion is meaningful, it's not preach this, preach that, it's giving you a gentle nudge to tell you which way to go :) Haha, okay. Now the third week of Advent is JOY! Joy that Christmas is near. Yeah, just plain joy. Joy that the project will be nearing soon. And joy that I am back at blogger. :D

Ok, I shall give a brief review of the VJC concert on 12th December Not So Silent Night. Some background; the 25th of December is usually called Silent Night. So one of the band members in VJC back in the 1990s suggested to have the annual concert on the 24th, calling it Not So Silent Night. Now, it's pushed back further due to practical reasons (christmas parties, majority now overseas at christmas), it still hasn't lost an ounce of spirit :)

The concert was AWESOME. If you attended Faith, Hope & Love Pt , this one is one level higher in professionalism. However you spell that word. (if it exists.) Their tone and musicality were awesome! My favourite song? Their rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. It was so beautiful! Jazzing up the rhythm so it's sometimes fast, making it soothing at times, it's like you're actually escalating to the stars in the song! Haha, climax? When they switched off all the lights and the VJC people took out their handphones and waved them left, right, left. The glow from their handphones were like the stars and this was received with applause and laughter and even a few others fishing for their own handphones to follow. :)

And the really COOL skit! I KNOW I recorded it but it went missing. Hmm. It's damn cool, that's all I can say. :D

There were sec 4s from all over Singapore and VJC 1 students performing. I love my sec 4 seniors the best :) Haha. The conductor, Mr Tan, had a video and a song performed at the end and it was really great. This line: sometimes you tell jokes so cold you make the band room freeze (something like that) produced several chuckles. Haha.

Ok, to sum it up, COME FOR MORE BAND CONCERTS! :) You'll definitely enjoy it. But I can tell you this, no matter how awesome you think they are, the people in the band playing is having ten times more fun than you, playing their hearts and souls out.

And le finale for the post (gosh, my posts are never random, are they?), I'll talk about PRINCE OF TENNIS :D :D :D (refer to picture)

Yeah, it's about this 12 year old boy named Ryoma Echizen who is really good at tennis, given that his father is a tennis pro and would have been no. 1 in the world if he hadn't abruptly quit tennis before the important match. He attends Seigaku (a middle school in Tokyo, Japan) after transfering from America. The tennis coach at Seigaku has had her eyes on him since he arrived. There, he beats all the seniors and became a freshman regular, the youngest player on the school team for years. He develops a relationship with all the other regulars and a girl who has a crush on him (which everyone sees except him, thus him being pronounced romantically-challenged). The anime series gets more and more exciting as more tennis matches are played and more interesting techniques and relationships bloom. It's a great series to watch. ;)

That's all for today, folks. Stay tuned in a few days time. :D
