Hey choir,tomorrows the big day:PLets all do our very best so that we will not regret it.Please put more feelings into the song,feel for the song.We must express what we want to tell about the song through our expression and our singing to the judges.Touch the hearts of the judges,make them feel that this choir is different from the others.And also remember to SMILE!!!!!!!Have enough sleep tonight and also drink more water,take good care of yourself:)We will definitely miss you guys and the times we spent together training.Thinking back,we really spend a lot of time training together.There are times that we may feel frustrated with ourselves because we cant get the notes right.There are also time where we laugh at one another over the silly things that we do.We have really come very far as a whole and made a lot of improvements:)Lets all work as a whole choir tomorrow towards our goal!!!!!:)Remember to SMILE!SMILE!SMILE!(like bob:))

Hello:)
The new year is coming in a few days,I hope that this will be a new start for choir,for us to be more discipline and focus during practice.Here are certain things to take note of before the next practice:
1.We will be collecting $2 for the month of January,please remember to pass it to Hui Shan during the next practice.

2.Everyone have to be free for the CCA exhibition next Friday,we will be expecting full attendance.Those who have tuition or other appointments,please postpone it,if it is really important let the com. know before Fri.The CCA exhibition is the time for us to recruit more members,so lets give our best on friday:)

3.Tues after the morning assembly,there will be an announcement for us to meet in the canteen,remember to attend that meeting.

4.Please practice the three songs we learn during the holiday,especially:I Never Had A Dream Come True.

5.Thursday 6 Jan 2011,choir practice starts at 3.30pm,in the music room.

6.Remember to sit and stand properly.Do not slouch,it will affect your singing.

7.You guys heard what Mr Wong said to us today right,this whole year we have not been very strict about the attendance,but from next year onwards,we will come down very hard on those who do not turn up for choir practice.Choir practice is already fixed on every Monday and Thursday,so do not tell us that you don't know the dates and time of our parctice.We will only accept MC,parents letter is not allowed.Excuses like tuition,dental appointment,family gathering,taking care of siblings or injured pets will not be accepted.Even if you have a soar throat,you must turn up for practice,but you may seat at the back to rest.

At last,thats all of the things you have to take note of,please remember what we just wrote.
Anyways,we would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!School is going to reopen soon,so enjoy the last few days of your holiday:)Have FUN:)

hi. i guess you guys must be feeling very shitty. the leaders arent feeling any better. we dont scold you for no reasons. you guys were really out of line and you know it.pls do some self reflection. the teachers were angry but they were being kind not to shout. ms yap was fed up but she tolerated the noise lv. she was kind.
like we said earlier on, we see sec1s more attentive in lessons, and y are the seniors the one adding on to the noise? dont you feel ashamed to have your juniors to shush you up?
when its time to joke and play ard we will.
but when teacher is teacing, much less something you dont even know that well, or some, its even you 1st time hearing things such as SCALES, SHARPS, FLATS etc. you guys know since monday that all that you've learnt know IS going to come up durin your exams on 21st sept 2010-tues. you are only 18 days, less than 3 wks to learn at least the basics, to your exam. only leaving with 2 or 3 lessons with ms yap. you guys took 1 whole lesson today-1hour-and yet not everyone understood wad she said. its okay if you guys dont understand. but wad is untolerable is that you dont understand yet you make noise. out yourselves in the teacher's shoes and the leaders shoes. YOU THINK.
you say we are strict and scold you alot. but have you ever think yyyyyy we scold you?? i dont think so. we are bearly up to the standard of other cca leaders. i dont like to compare others and neither do i like others to compare with me. i shall make it clear, each committee have different ways to run the cca. we are fun, we can play with you. but when its time to be serious, we are. this is something lacking in most of you.
even your own friends can identify the ppl that are not cooperative. we receive feedback that its unfair for those that were paying attention and behaved themselves to get scolded. ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE. one person in the wrong, everyone gets it. we are fair. we give you chance, you make a mistake, we dont pin point you out. do you think we punish/scold everyone for fun? no we dont. we do that to save your face. and we dont want ppl to give you troubles after cca. we are thinking for you. but did you guys think for us?? doubt so.
pls grow up, and realise that the world is not only about you. the world has more that 6 billion population and you out of that school of ppl, think about how others would think about you. think about how will it affect ppl with the things you do. think about values like RESPONSIBILITY, LEADERSHIP, ACHEIVEMENTS, SELF-DISCIPLINE ETC. read the rules and regulation of choir at the left column. hope you get what we been trying to say today. reflect on the session today. ask yourself the questions i asked earlier on. cya. dont forget the practice next thurs 9am. attendance is compulsary. do your hw by ms yap and the solfage of minoix2. cya.

(commitee pls put in your photos here for t'chers day)

hiies! teachers' day celebration was awesome.

i would like to thank the sec2s whom planned such an awesome mini-party, and im sure the teachers and choir enjoyed it :) the teachers that were blinded folded, looks like this:

yes, apparently they were reluctant to tie but.. for the sake of choir, they TIED! woots~

welll.. followin that, they entered the music room, like blind mices, and the were.. touched i guess :) the sec2s then carried out some games, for interaction between the choir and teachers for them to know each other better, such as impersination and guess the person in the picture :) shortly after that, the Com'10 gave out party food and the presents for the teachers. YAY. And soon after that we did some mini-warm ups. we sounded okay. hehe.

one thing i would like to emphasize on. is your self-discipline. you guys should go and read 2009's archives. that was how harsh/strict the seniors were with us. but we nvr had any grudges or felt unhappy and start whinning or complaining abt them. the reason is simple, becos we knew we were in the wrong and we were felt guilty. the seniors then, even they often shout at us, but we still respect them and look up to them as our role models. however, compared to the seniors now, we believe that scolding isnt the best option. we cut down on our scoldings, we try to make choir enjoyable, so pls appreciate it. all your P.T games, the prizes, camps, they didnt poof out like daisies. the seniors had to meet up meetings after meetings to plan for you guys. and wad we saw on thurs wasnt wad we expected. even without sharleen, jodi, or belvy, you guys didnt cooperate with the rest of the com. some of us are soft spoken, since you know that, when we are giving out instructions, shouldnt you be silent and listen attentively? instead of complaining that you cant hear us? and when we give out instructions, some of you even oppose our decisions and refused to follow instructions. such simple things could be done within a short timing, but becos of some ppl, the choir as a whole wasted precious time. you guys reflect. and read joceline's post below..

on a lighter note, lets look at some of the pictures on thurs! :)

hahs, well, there willl be more photos soon. will upload them then. sooo, stay tunned! :D

the point system is already on and the leading team is altos(220)-supposingly 230, but becos one persom skipped so minus10. and sops with 200 points. the rules and regulation is on the notice board. check it out. and mxt wk, p.t the team that is losing you will be doing extra things. pls take a loook at choir rules etc. *hint hint* :) hahs. cya guys on monday 2.30!

hey choir! this is the colour you would most properbly be wearing for choir tee. this is the front. grey and lime green. nice? :)

English Translation:
Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone

If it's a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truly to myself

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness
