Update| Reflection Post (21 April 2015)
Comparing ourselves with the way we were in the past, we could see a distinct difference in the form of progress and improvement. First of all, we have managed to finalise our song options and come up with three songs to use in the performance, which are Greased Lightning (from Grease), Wavin' Flag (Knaan) and Candy (Robbie Williams). I got roles of playing the piano in the songs Wavin' Flag and Candy. Personally, I do not prefer to play the piano for Candy because I feel like i am the only one playing the same instrument for two different songs, which is in my opinion, quite unfair. I also wanted to play the Kolintang in Candy, but failed to do so due to my responsibilities as a piano player in Candy. It is still not determined whether if i am going to play for Candy as well, but it looks like the chances of me getting away with only playing Wavin' Flag is really thin, as other pianists in the class are not willing to take the responsibility of playing the piano parts in Candy.
During the holidays, I have managed to find a video tutorial on the song Wavin' Flag and learnt the notes as well. Since i was only playing the chords, i find it very simple to learn the whole song. In school, Lala and I often visit the PVA building to practice afterschool, resulting on a nice and rehearsed 'product' of the Wavin' Flag. I especially like the part where it goes "singing forever young" because that is when the chords i play become more variant in terms of notes and tones, and that is when Lala can sing the loudest and best.

Greased Lightning Production
After blind voting, one of the concluded song choices is Greased Lightning from the hit movie Grease (John Travolta & Olivia Newton John). We then organised the roles and the musical instruments that people are going to play, based on the skills and talents sharing session we did earlier. Here is a short table of the roles in the Greased Lightning song.
