Carolling at Ritz part 2

Today I met Wei Lin and Shawn at HMV to see the CDs and DVDs. I saw the LOTR The Return Of The King DVD which was damn ex. However I will buy it in time to come. It is so cool... Right, Wei Lin and me then went to Ritz to carol. Other then Wei Lin having a sore throat, it was quite similar to yesterday, eating sandwiches, doing warmup and singing carols. Sadly we were not doing Gaudete... Oh well...

I stood in the 2nd row today cos the juniors didn't know the words well. I was there to "guide" them. This time I didn't give the note. Someone brought the pitch pipe to give the note instead. Well today we were weaker. We only had 6 tenors and what's more most of the seniors did not go today. Hence we were a bit weaker. More songs were flat like Jingle Bells. As usual we had a song that was sharp. This time it wasn't my fault. For Carol Of the Bells, the girl gave the note which was 3 semitones above the original note. The tenors couldn't make it on the notes above A. Really CMI!!! We did In Dulci and it was nice.

We then went to eat dinner. Wei Lin and I went to ate Burger King. However after dinner I had a stomach ache while rushing to Raffles. I couldn't take it. I had to go to the City Hall interchange toilet. By the time I came out it was 840 pm... The choir would be performing liao. Wei Lin couldn't sing cos his sore throat became worse. We deicided to go home.

Whaaa my stomach hurts.... Shit man I don't know what happened la. I ate the wrong thing. Before I take my medicine, these are the lyrics to In Dulci Jubilo...

" In Dulci Jubilo
Let Us Our Homage Shew
Our Heart's Joy Reclineth
In Praesepio
And Like A Bright Star Shineth
Matris In Gremio
Alpha Es Et O
Alpha Es Et O
O Jesu Parvule
My Heart Is Sore For Thee
Hear Me I Beseech Thee
O Puer Optime
My Prayer Let It Reach Thee
O Princeps Gloriae
Trahe Me Post Te
Trahe Me Post Te
O Patris Caritas
O Nati Lenitas
Deeply Were We Stained
Per Nostra Crimina
But Thou Hast For Us Gained
Calorwn Gaudia
O That We Were There
O That We Were There
Ubi Sunt Gaudia Where
If That They Be Not There?
There Are Angels Singing
There Are Singing Cantica
The Bells Are Ringing In Curia
O That We Were There
O That We Were There
There Are Angels Singing
There The Bells Are Ringing
The Bells Are Ringing In Regis Curia
O That We Were There
O That We Were There"
