Wanrong

Thanks for the hardwork everyone,
you guys deserved the rest after all these.

Not denying that we are actually quite disappointed that we've got a bronze,
because everyone of us here know that we can definately make it for a Silver.
But seriously I think sounded quite alright today,
so after hearing:
"Choir number 66, Damai Secondary School... Bronze."
We were quite upset.

We knew ourselves how hard we tried,
and those super nice moments,
and the super horrible moments, which make the whole song doesnt sound like a song.
We knew we can grip a Silver.
But oh well, we knew we did tried our best,
so there should be no regrets. :)

Great to have Mr Goh to be our instructor,
you're always so patient towards us.

The perfect teachers, Mr Wong, Mrs Ang, and Ms Nor,
Thank You for being so supportive.

Good to have the seniors,
Thanks for all the work you guys did for us.
Like waking up so early to help us with the makeup and hair,
and visiting the Choir always.

Luckily to have you guys, the sec4s,
you guys were so understanding,
and making the Choir easy for us.

Happy knowing you guys, as my dearest juniors,
you guys were great and marvellous and fun.
I had fun being your senior!
Laughing and joking with you guys definately make my day.
From not understanding how we felt,
to how you guys encouraged us on getting a Bronze.
You guys really grown up alot.
Feel that we bonded so much. :)

Hope we the committees did a good job of taking care of you guys,
and hope you guys enjoyed your sessions in the Choir.

Lastly, still, be happy that we've got a Bronze!
At least we dont make the songs sounded like not a song. :)

PS: if you guys do have any photos taken on the SYF day or what,
can you guys pls mail the photos to: damaivoicez@hotmail.com?

I love you guys, seriously.
Thanks for making choir such a fun CCA to stay in.

- Joceline.

Huixia.

Hey guys, I think most of you have already heard of us getting bronze already. XD .
Well, it might not be enough to impress the school, but we ourselves know that we already tried our best.
We're happy and tt's all tt matters. <3s>
Those times we shared in the music room.
Those times when jos got totally pissed off with our horrible singing and shout at us.
Those laughters Wanrong [ hehehhhs .] and pat gave us at the end of the whole choir session.
Those wrong notes we always make.
Those times when Mr goh draw some random bunnies or stuffs on the board.
And of course, some occasional burps from me. ;D ..

And most of all, today..
The tears of joy we've shed [ some of us. ] ,
the sweet parting,
and the 7mins we spent on the stage.


I guess this is it.
This choir will now get smaller,
seniors will now leave you guys,
No more burps, scoldings, spatic moments.

Just bear in mind, we'll always love you.



Love, !!! Huixiaaa~ !!!





BURP! XD

Come on.
We're only left with one week,
and we're going up already.
What else you guys still want us to do?
We've already ran out of ideas,
on how to help you guys to sing well.
And some of you guys are still dily-dehilying.
Aye whats wrong with you guys.
May I remind you,
we're only left with ONE week.
3 more practices,
and we're going up.

Please buck up.
Please please please please buck up.

Although we didnt mention this just now,
but I must still thank some of you,
for your hardwork and efforts,
even when you're gawddamn tired.
Sometimes its actually quite a big contrast,
between the people who really are trying,
and the people who are not.

I'm gawddamn tired, and without my full voice.
But since I can try, why cant you guys?

Jiayou bah, take out your supposed-to-have standard!
Dont let our efforts go down the drain.
Many months of singing, and we're just waiting for this critical moment.
If you guys really dont wna try,
its really a waste of time singing so much lah,
dont you guys think so?

So please buck up,
I've repeated this for a thousandth time,
please take note of your facial expressions,
vowels, eyebrows, pronouncation and blahblah.
You guys shld have know,
and shld have done it.

The people who are sick,
please go see a doctor,
or eat some medicines.

Anyway, 3:00pm @ music room on Thursday.
Dont forget your gowns, and heels!
(Suits and shoes for boys)
Remember it should be in a coat/suit cover, and ironed.
And please not cut your hair, for time being!

Jiayou!
counting down, 7 days to SYF.

- Joceline.

Please try your best!

Okay, I'm here again.
Just to mention, that we're only left with 9 days to the SYF.
Please read through Mr Goh's golden teachings!

Helping you guys to recap,
Mr Goh's Golden Teaching #1:
" There is no cannot! "

Mr Goh's Golden Teaching #2:
" Make every note you sing worth something. "

Mr Goh's Golden Teaching #3:
" First, the self, then the mind, and then the body will follow. "

Mr Goh's Golden Teaching #4:
" The power of NOW! "

Mr Goh's Golden Teaching #5:
" You decide not what you get, but what you take away. "

Please recap what he taught,
and read through your notebooks!
If you guys got things that you do not understand,
pls approach us!
We wont scolddddd you.

Pls sing well!
We've got no much time left alrdy,
so just pia for this one week,
and we're done!

Jiayou! Believe we can do it. :)
counting down, 9 days to SYF.

- Joceline.

Its so hard to say how we felt ytd,
you all heard, mr goh said "we might not even get a medal"
its so discouraging but we have to keep fighting.
I'm sure we don't have to remind you about everything?
Mr goh doesn't have to repeat himself either, its tiring for him as well to us
don't let our efforts be wasted
all those practices/sectionals
if you're not gonna give your best now then when?
rmb this, we do not have much time
when we start afresh on monday please don't disappoint us
we're already halfway through this journey
you guys cant give up.

-Patricia

Free Disney Tickers

Please please please please please buck up.
There's nothing we can do, if you guys are not concentrating enough, or putting enough efforts.
For the people who are sick, pls, drink some herbal tea or something.
Try to get well soon.

We're only left with 3 practices,
and hopefully you guys can really think about it and buck up.
The decisions lies on you, whether you want to do it or not.
The people with no voices, it definately feel suck-ish to not have any voice to sing,
even though you know the notes.
I believe the people who really enjoys singing will understand.
So please get well soon and do something about it.

Hope to see a new choir on Monday.

Rest well.
- Joceline.

im super disappointed today again.
please buck up.
please prove to others you all can do it


wanrong

Hello again! :)

Choir was alright today.
So good job! Hahaha!
Thats the way man.
Not to deprove but improveeeeeee.
Haha!
And bought shoes today at Inteeeeer!

Anyway I had comments for the Thursday's practice.
About me suddenly....
Errrr breakdown?

Actually what I said its kinda like..
Saying what most of the committees feel.
Like what I said,
sometimes we feel very sad for ourselves.
Eg, we scolding you guys becos you guys didnt do well,
or perform well, or your disicpline was not good.
We scold you for some reasons, not becos we feel like it so we do so.
And sometimes we received negative comments,
or rather your attitude faces,
that actually make us feel very demoralised.
And then we'll actually think through ourselves.
If we're really too fierce? Or what?
I dont know.
And sometimes you people showed us,
that you do not care, and do not bother.

Everytime after scoldings,
WE are the ones feeling guilty.
Do you? Do you feel guilty for making us angry/disppointed?
Oh well I dont know.

Whats the scolding/lecturing for then?
If you guys dont learn something from it,
then we're sorry, that we have to repeat ourselves all over again.
And then you find us naggy...

Being a senoir is not easy.
Why am I always spending time posting on this blog,
is because we want you guys to know how we feel.
I know how you guys feel,
maybe after scolding you guys will feel that its unfair,
its lame, loser, wahlao scolding again, boring, irritating,
f. up, or whatever, we actually know.
Because we're once a junoir before.

The reason why I suddenly broke down is just a sudden feeling,
like "piang" and then I cried.
And of course feeling sad for ourselves lah.
I'm not hinting you guys to do anything for us,
like buying things for us or cock.
We're not that materialistic.
(i'm VERY scared that you guys will think this way @@)
We just want you guys to appreciate what we do for you guys,
and understand. Thats all.
We're not asking much, seriously.
Seriously, thats not my intention of saying all those stuffs.
(Maybe asking from you guys to have more passion in Choir,
or rather more-into-choir, and contributing more.)

Anyway thanks for some concerns being showed by some of you :)
I'm okay! (its quite obvious right XD)
And continue to love choir okay. Haha!

Ah, talked so much.
Haha!

Kay lah, you guys continue to work hard kay!
Maybe I really need a tape to tape my mouth soon,
becos I cant stop shouting.
Dont be like me kay, it feels terrible :S

Practiceeeeee hard everyone! :)
Takecare! Lovvvvve.

counting down, 19days to SYF.
- Joceline :)
