haha randm :) anyways! if you have not viewed the camp pics! its all below this post :) yea. there is even a photo of a mosquito. i do not know y it appeared in my cam XD
lalala~ wed will be the auditions for BUTTERFLy. who knew butterflies need auditions?! lols. im writing crap. cos im sleepy now.. ha!
so PRACTICE LIKE YOU WANT TO. PRACTICE LIKE YOU NEED TO. PRACTICE LIKE YOU HAVE TO. which you have to :)
also. i would like to raise a toopic that has been going on for some of the members. if you think that we purposely release you late on some choir practices? think again. SYF is nxt year. being 10 to 15 mins late from the time stated in the form wont kill you on the spot rite? its not a life or death issue. so i dont understand y make a big woohaa out of it. we gotta practice. mr wong get paid per hour. he teaching us more than the time he is suppose so, he gains nothing. we get the advantages. i seriously dont seee y you complain about us releasing you late. and then you whine and go to the extend of calling the school?..yea i know this is a sensitive issue. however, pls tell your parents the situation we are in. if we dont practice long enough to catch up with the other schools, i seriously cant imagine wad will we get nxt year for SYF. for those seniors im sure you guys can tell. truthly, the choir standard now.. not as good as previously. but to accomplish a song like butterfly, i must say. we did prove that we are capable :) but after awhile. you guys tend to gets your notes wrong. then you go sharp then sometimes flat. then you caome in late etc. all these mistakes need time to correct. and if everyone do not put in an effort, then we just have to repeat and repeat again and again. wads the point then? its all wasting yours, mine and mr wong's time. and wasting the school money and resources. to those slackers who have not been coming choir, i really hope you would read this post and wake up. ya, i might sound harsh now. but you just dont see the situation we're in. soon it would be dec. we left with only 3 months. like.. hello? we have 2 more songs to learn and also to add finishing touches. how long is that going to take? SYF is not a normal performance that its okay to mess up. ITS NOT. can you see the seriousness of this?.. and those who have been relying on seniors to sing for you during sectionals. think again. wad is the least you can do ? contribute to the singing right? dont be afraid to make mistakes, everyone does. wad is the most impt is that you learn from it and make sure you dont repeat your mistake.
pls spread the msg. to read this post. literally. i tired of asking you guys to visit the blog. im tired of posting and posting when i only have like 5 viewers? FYI there is a counter set to the blog to show how many ppl viewed the blog in a day. to those out there, who have been contributing to choir (in a good way of cos)! thanks a million :) we really appreciate.
hope you guys, especially those who often make mistakes in choir, will stop repeating the same mistakes.
-the world's greatest sin, is whereby the person commits the same mistake he has committed before.

yes i know, the blog a bit dead. haha sorry bout that. had camps so unable to update the blog X)
anyways!! TOMORROW IS F-DAY! (fun day, dont think otherwise XD)
hahs, rmb to report at 7.40am in the canteen empty area there. im sure huiyin told you guys to bring extra clothings, slippers all this rite? :) dont forget ah~
hmm, i heard that you guys singing wasnt too good today :0 what happened? i guess you guys didnt practise over the wkends rite? always bear in mind. practise makes perfect. everyday just spend about 10mins or so to practise. within 3days im sure you will be able to farmilarise with the tune and lyrics! we are running out of time already!! PLS put in some effort. if you are not willinging to do so. no one can help you improve. you will forever not know how to sing correctly. the seniors are always more than willing to lend a helping hand :)
Attendance wise.. i want to see improvement. from now on, we wont chase you for your MC/letter. you dont come for choir. immediately xiaopei will mark you as absent. unless you notify the commitee beforehand by sms-ing us or telling us. and im sure you guys know, if your attendance doesnt meets the requirement of 75% means no CCA points. we are already telling you nicely, and warning you. for those constant skippers that always give a whole load of crapish excuses. well.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY cos we wont be bothering you anymore. you have to take responsibility and be accountable for your absence in choir.
and if you guys do know, mr wong has been patient with you guys. pls treat him nicely too. even though sometimes we dont meet eye to eye with him. but sure he does things that are beneficial to choir. he even offered to pay $100 for the BBQ. but we didnt take his money in the end :) hmph.
oh well, i guess thats all i wanna say. i shall continue tmr :D:D
OMG CANT WAIT TO PARTY! XD cya!

I want to talk to you guys about your attendence,as we all know we are already preparing for SYF so we would appreciate it if you can be serious for every practice.So if you miss one practice you will be missing out on a lot of things,every practice is very important.Oh yeah,about being serious about every practice,we also hope that you guys can be punctual.For the who are always late please leave your house earlier.Its not very nice if you come in half way when Mr Wong is teaching and you will also have to pay fine.Do not let this become a habit.Hope you guys are preparing for the camp next week its gonna be fun:D:D
To all the Ex-seniors,
The choir will be having our camp from the 25th to the 26th(its only a two day camp),all senoirs are welcome to join us.We will be having the BBQ at 6.15pm to 7.30pm,after that there will be having a sing along session,some games and an advanture quest,a lot of prizes will be given away so please try and make it if you are free.There is also a dress code,you can choose between the 70's dressing or you can dress hip hop:D(Prizes will be given to the person who dresses the best.)

hi choir!
happy belated bday to the 6 ppl! hope you like your presents! :D
i went to find the 2 songs mr wong mentioned, and i found 2 awesome links. look at their facial expressions, their emotions when singing the songs! and most imptly the way the sound. they have body movement that really looks like the are telling a story :) do take a look at the videos.
also, the attendance on 8nov (mon) was really good as there was almost full attendance! but y did attendance dropped on 9nov (tues) ? if you really are unable to make it for choir. PLSPLSPLS at least inform your fren in choir or the committee member. attendance now is VERY IMPORTANT as we have started learning the SYF pieces. and missing one sessions means alot. its not a normal concert that we are preparing for now. it's SYF! pls start to develop a sense of responsibility in everything you do and also the attitude you give ppl.

rmb to practice practice practice and master the pieces and things that mr wong have teached us at home. we are running out of time. 4months might seem long, but to master all 3 pieces and to develop emotions and adding in the dynamics etc is not as easy as it may seems. rmb that time waits for no man! :) cya tmr!
