Sore throat.. Singing???

Man... havin a sore throat is the worst thing that could have happened to u, esp if u r required to be singing.. oh ya.. Y'day at the rehearsal was trying my best to sing as well as preserve my voice... hitting the high A, B and C when u r having a sore throat is not easy!!!! And if u continue to strain ur voice, u mit loose it!! that's what i was scared about.. but the other option of not singing was even scarier... like y'day Conductor Lim yau was like in a rage.... Wow!! i was jus praying to God that he would not point or pick on me.. Thank God he did not.. otherwise it wud have be sooo embrassing... like y'day he was moving people around,, changing positions so that the Choir would sound better (like moving the weaker ones to a more comfortable place...) then pointing out to people who were not singing to SING, abrubtly stopping the choir n makin three tenors to sing alone cos he cant get the sound that he wants from them... then telling us that we were not Good enough to be deemed as professionals... Oh mann.. after al that crap, he told us that He Loved each and everyone of us and thats yy he is doin all these.. and even apologised for tiring us sooo much (oh the rehearsal was intense, partly cos the concert is nearing.. 13th nov people!!!) but he said that this particular piece (Brahms' german requiem) is very complicated and demanded that of us.. saying stuffs like 'even if u take out the words, the notes alone is still a master piece'

Oh mann... i should not be absent for rehearsals, i mean i m present every monday (but i jus cant make it on thrusdays.. got class...) jus scared cos he was telling us to be more regular...
