do u all feel relief after SYF? haha.. no more fenzu until the end of term 2!!!! haha guess u all wont see bobo anymore le.. he's officially retired!
regarding SYF, results are not so impt. mayb u all got the idea that i see the honour as very impt cos i cry like crazy after the result was announced. aiya, wrong idea, ppl. i cry because i feel very guilty and sorry towards Mr Tay n Cui Lao shi, and of cos the hope and faith that CO placed on us.. its so so so so so rare that we get to use the CO room firstly, and more rare that Mr Tay spent so much time fening us. those who din show respect to him deserve to be shot! anyway i think wat he said is very true la, 精益还求精, 何况还没精. its okay we still have 2009! by then we will have a stronger team, all with better skills. haha. jia you juniors!
and also mus add, bobo said mayb we din do our best but we tried our best! no regret le. okay this is for those who really have put in the effort. if not, feel guilty ba..
THANK YOU SENIORS AND COMM MEMBERS FOR HELPING AT THE REHEARSAL AND SYF! AND OF COS THE WAITING FOR THE RESULT, which suppose to take place at 4pm, but end up only announced at 540pm hehex.. UR SUPPORTS AND GIFTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! A MILLION THANK YOU =)

syf gold
when the results were announced, there was silence, guess everyone was stunned. but personally, i was about to cheer, but then i realised the atmosphere wasn't right.my spirits dropped. it took wei cheng to let us give a half-hearted cheer. why is this the case? even though we did not managed to get gwh, we acheieved gold as a team! isn't that something worth celebrating for?
perhaps some of you might remember mr tay and cui lao shi saying, the main purpose of syf is not the award, its the music. ask yourself, do you think you have done your best? no matter how good your best is, its still your best. if you put in your utmost effort, there should be no reason to be that sad and disappointed, and i know many or all of us did so. otherwise, it high-time you start reflecting on why you did NOT try you best. and if some of you think i did not put in enough effort, all i can say is that i tried my best for the past 4 years.i dare to say that i put my heart and soul into guzheng, although i feel that i could have practiced in a better manner to achieve better results.
one year of practicing the two songs, think of all the work that you have put in. what have u gained? what have u learnt? or is this something you were forced to do? the main aim of dhsco is NOT to achieve gold with honours, although thats our short term goal, what dhsco and mr tay and all the other music instructors want is for us to develop a passion for the chinese music in the process of learning it. have you achieved that? congratulations if you have, and i hope you find your way soon if you don't. and dhsco is not just about music, it builds up your character too. it teaches you to teamwork, perseverence, responsibiltity and many others. how much have you grown spirtually since you joined co?
i wonder what are your friends reactions upon learning guzheng got gold? do they ask why u did not achieve gwh? or did they congratulate you? i believe most are of the latter, and sincerely hope so.you can go ask any of our seniors, i'm sure they are all very proud of you in their hearts. and in case u didn't know, only 3 sec schs were awarded gold today, and no sec schs had gwh. even though we did not get gwh, we maintained our standard of gold!
there is no end to knowledge and skills, you can always improve. so for those whom are still disappointed and sad, get a grip on yourself! why not buck up now and prac to achieve a good quality! its the quality of practice that counts, not the quantity, and i'm sure you all have seen that in some way or another. so when do NOT miss fen zu for not valid reasons! and put ur heart into the music when you are there! we can all finish up on time then. and if you all are feeling very tired and in need of a break, why not let your seniors know? its better to break and come back rejuvenated than to play while half dead. and take care of you instruments too!
and special note to the year 1s and 2s, jiayous for 2009 syf!
i have got many other stuff to say, but maybe next time, i shall end here. Be happy that we achieved gold together as a team!

hello my fellow zhengs...
its 9more days.
practice hard. and smart.
play and MAKE the miracle.
dont prepare to play and HOPE that there will be a miracle.
if you put your 100% hearts to it. im sure you all can.
take some time, sit down and think about all that have gone through a yr ago since you get the scores.
it is never too late to practice effectively and efficiently now.
everyone is waiting to see the miracle you all are going to make.
be responsible to the ensemble, the orchestra, the school. most importantly, yourself. if you know you did your very best. it's enough.
you all can do it. make the miracle.
do the best, beyond your limits.
play music with your heart.
connect with it.
let it bond all of you tgt.
work tgt to achieve the one common goal.
you all can. really...

Guess who.
等久就有?
If you interpret it in the Hokkien way: dan ku ku..
Means wait long long... (also dont have)
So cannot wait already! Must take action.
Ok this is lame but the point is...

Attendance...
well, it isnt easy. it had never been. but i hope all of you will treasure this time together as a whole zheng. treat every fenzu like an important process, cast all the troubles you have at the back of your mind and really try hard to focus.
i hope all of you will understand the importance of this syf, cause... its really an important experience. haha. its through this that we really see our hard work paying off. so many months of practising, what's that for? its just a one-chance thing. dont live to regret anyhing.
so JIA YOU guys. cause i really believe we can do it. together.
