Sibu’s Sweet Revenge... Or BL’s Glorious Achievement...?

After two years of defeat and another two years of practice and planning of the downfall of their rivals, the choir of SMK Sibu Methodist finally tasted their long-awaited sweet revenge over the only other choir with any chance of blocking their path which is the SMK Batu Lintang choir, posting a victory as the 2007 Sarawak champions for a place in the finals, where each state will fight it out for the top honours in Terengganu.
Some may say we were not good enough, Sibu Methodist were too good, or we were overconfident – but we know that we really kicked some choir butts with some guidance from our incredible teacher, Pn. Luk, mostly led by our peer, Ryner Lai who put to use all his experience and knowledge to bring out the best in us, so we should be as proud as anything that we made it so far!
Of course, we were hoping to make history by bringing down one of the strongest secondary school choir in Malaysia, not to mention one with full-time choir instructors as well as RM60-an-hour-per-member vocal training (or so we heard). Luck seemed to be on our side as we were drawn to be the first to perform in the icy air of the Wisma Auditorium, Bintulu, making it likely that the cold air would affect the other team’s voices, but alas, it was not to be. After many, many months of hard work and sacrifices, we managed to clinch second place, followed by Chung Hua Miri taking third place.
I daresay we lost to a team better than us for that day, although I trust, had we performed our best like we did in the evening practice on the eve of the competition, it would be hard to decide the winner.
Beware – the Rock of Horizon will be back – with a new zeal, and hopefully, Pn. Luk – thereby dubbed: the (re-)Rise of Batu Lintang!!
