Papaya Juice is healthy. *slurpe*
Acclaim enthusiastically to the whole world, this coming 23rd August, Saturday is Swinburne Grand Opening. Fabulous! Swinburne University of Technology will officially celebrate its 100th anniversary and embark on its building.
Yes, those BIG shots and names from overseas are coming. Furthermore, our Chief Minister, Mr. Taib and his wife will appear at this ceremony too.
Supposedly, our Prime Minister, Mr. Pak Lah has agreed to turn up for this G-R-A-N-D opening too, but due to the by-election thingy, he's not coming. Not appearing anymore. At least, he's sending a representative to come.
Who knows, instead of having our Prime Minister, Pak Lah, we might have Pak Loh
Also, The G-R-A-N-D Opening will be held in MPH.
More than a thousand of invited guests, lecturers and international students will flock together in this hall. As only two more days to go, construction workers are trying to get the preparation done. Props to be set up. Trial performances are read through daily. Organizing committee members are making every effort to get things flow without a hitch.
Inevitably, everyone is so hectic now.
You can even spot on Spiderman and Cicak man hanging on the ceiling. Ever wonder why Cicak Man is so slow behind Spiderman?
So, why am i writing about this G-R-A-N-D opening?
Proud to say, i, Johnson is involving in the Choir Singing for the G-R-A-N-D Opening. To be more precise, i was invited
Frankly, I did feel of not wanting to sing at the first place, but after some thought, i reckon that this is a rare and golden opportunity for us and me to perform in Swinburne G-R-A-N-D Opening.
After all, it's only occurred once yea. Hey, it's the G-R-A-N-D Opening!
I, together with the choir members will sing Malaysian National Anthem and Australian National Anthem.
You will never appreciate and think highly of how hard it is to actually sing our National Anthem properly. I remember during the morning assembly at my early Secondary days, i always tend to sing the Anthem without much energy, standing like a sotong and just babbling through the lyrics.
Don't laugh, i know you are the same. =P
Even worst, some of you could have forgotten our National Anthem lyrics too. True? =P
Our Choir instructor, Mr. Beng.
And now it's in Choir mode, the projection of voices are required. The diction of each word is needed. The big wide mouth opened is necessary.
Perhaps this is my first time that i am so enlivened and well prepared to sing our National song. Both songs keep stirring in my mind now.
A day left for myself to prepare.
What makes me feel more honor right now is that, i know how to sing the Australian Anthem thoroughly.
"...advance Australia fair..."
