Hey everyone! its few days after the concert and you guys are going back to school!

Has everyone rested well over the weekends? there isnt any more rehearsals for the concert or this and that, im sure some of you will miss it. i already am missing it. well, i wanted to say this to everyone, but i guess, doing so here would do just fine. Good job all, the concert was great and i strongly believe that we had the nicest performance, nobody was close to beating us. You all did extremely well, including all the rehearsals and building up to the concert, u all didnt give up and for the first time, ppl are practicing when they gt nth to do, instead of running ard! (: and we all know, in the esplanade, we didnt make alot of noise, we were in fact, very well behaved. Good job to all, its a job very well done. And also, keep up the good work and bring the attitude back to normal cca days in sch, im sure we will all do well and succeed! especially for the next syf coming next year april in about 8 months time! we don't have that many time left, so lets do our best and get our GOLD! lets show everyone that we can do it and we are a GOLD ORCHESTRA!

So dead!

Frankly speaking , Co's getting really dead. Many are missing from the practices and I bet the Co camp would be like so dead. Can you believe it , that actually , there were not more than 30 who came to practice last Friday? Gorgeous uh! Well , can't blame anyone , since Co has limited people. And those percussion people , I supposed they are back at their hometown. Sigh. Kinda disappointed. How? Uhh , JIAYOU JIAYOU , get more people to be in next year:D:D!

Anw , to all seniors , our camp would be on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of november.
YAY!! :D:D!

2009-10-12T13:09:00.004+08:00

Finally , theres picture. :D!
& , somebody finally update the blog , which is me again!
Well , this time I'm updating the blog for the Exco's outing on the 17th Oct(This Saturday).
We will be having it at Cheryl Yuen's house. :D!
The bus no. there would be 854, 857, 70,86 and 163.
Venue: Cactus drive grande vista condo.
We will be having BBQ over there:D.
The amount to be pay by each will be decided on the actual day:]. I bet it wouldn't be too much. Because there's a number of people.
The time to reach there is 2.oopm , latest is 3.00pm.(Me , JiaYing and Cheryl would be waiting at the busstop:D!)
You people can stay until 10.00pm(latest).
If you have to go home early, you can do so. :)
We do like to invite the seniors of co. :D!
You're welcome! :}!
Okay that's all!
Yay , be there on time!

Some edits have been made:D

To all beloved Co members,

I'm updating the blog! HAHA. You know? I sent all the Pw and login id to almost all the sectional leaders but nobody had post-up. Leaving it dead as usual. Sigh. Well , I hope someone would try to post up soon. Thanks eh.

So, sec1s to 3s , you're going to have you paper 1s tmr. So must jiayou okay? Add oil add oil. :D:D! Write nice things. Don't forget your format. Hahs.

Okay , basically , CO , is starting on the 12oct , which is the monday right after your exams. So , everyone remember. & remember to bring your costume(washed). For cello & guanyue , bring it on the tuesday. Thanks.

Okay , guess that's all for the time being.

To LYNNwee,
Thanks wee. Alot alot. I will do so. Hah , nah , I didn't pressure on myself too much either. Because my excos are helping me alot toos:D . Especially my VC yuen and JiaYing. Hah. I WILL DO MY BEST TOO! :D:D. Your words are encouraging. Hahs! & JY for your 'Os'! :D:D!

TO ALL BELOVED CO SENIORS ,
Be it 'O' or 'N' level. JIAYOU! All of you can do it der. Get flying colours and come back to share with us what you've got. We are keen and curious to know. HAHA! & be sure to come back to visit us , you're most welcome. HAHA!<3!

Withloves ,
CiEn

2009-09-08T18:08:00.000+08:00

okay, i shall continue on here(:
Ci En, as what i have mentioned, dont put so much pressure on yourself! yeah, if the sectional leader does not abide by his responsibility, or does not even bother, let him know his responsibility, and if he still doesnt care, make sure he listens(i dont really encourage scolding as it sours relationship, if possible, dont, but if things really get out of hands, than just scold.) For the members of the section, if they insist on leaving early, because there is no teacher, let them know the logic, and this logic is, even if there isnt any teacher, they can always learn by themselves, are they so dependent on the teachers? so if their subject teacher in school doesnt turn up as well, and there is a relief teachers, who probably doensnt teach that particular subject, are they going to leave the class and go home? the answer is no, so just be certain of it. If they still insist on going home, there's still the teachers.
whatever it is, we are here for you and the rest of the ex-co members. ALL THE WAY! (:

my dear co members/children;
please be more cooperative, and let your passion drive through with your practices. If you dont have the passion, ask yourself, where is it?why are you not having it, and enjoying what you are doing?
i've learnt that, in life, things usually dont go your way, the way you want it to be.
for instance, you dont get Gold for syf, just by slacking and not putting in effort. so you have to put in effort, to earn for the Gold, and yes, the journey is tough and tiring, but if good results is what you want, good comments is what you want to hear, everyone, E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E have to put in the utmost effort. No one ever said that the journey was going to be easy. your journey is never easy, but you can choose. you can choose to enjoy the journey, be happy, and practice, therefore everyone else will also be happy, or you can choose to hate this, rebel against everything, and do things your way, than this journey will never be a happy one for you.
well, remember, you are living in this earth, and other people make up of this earth, there are billions of other people in this earth, you can't possibly do things just they way you want it, not sparing a thought for others. you're not living in a deserted island. so, think of others, and spare a thought for one another, in that way, your will be bonded with one another more, you all will grow stronger, and become better.
one more thing, dont neglect your studies alright? place your priorities right, for studies, co and even your own time, family time, and time with your friends.
Most importantly, i will always stress, it is your H-E-A-L-T-H! stay healthy, drink lots of water, and lead an awesome, active, and happy teenage life! (haha, i'm writing like i'm a very old woman!)
All of your will be part of my memories, and that we have fought the battle together, one way or another! cherish the people around you too okay!
all the best!
with lots of love,
Lynn.

Saw Varian's lodging! Know why? I don't know anything about 2006 since i was in CO only when it was 2007! Wahahahaha, if you want me to update more! TELL ME! YEAH:D! Anyway , when was our first SYF? Lols.

Okay , what's going on now? Da ji yue is so dead. All newcomers. YuYanZhang is not coming for practices too. Sigh. Hopefully the percussion people will come on every practices. & I WANT TO COMPLAIN! They are slacking all the time. Sigh. Seniors! Tell me what to do? When Shen lao shi don't come = slacking time. There was once they even went home early. Saying that there was no teacher. Gah.
Er-hu is still fine :D. Even though Zhang lao shi wasn't here for afew practices. But still they are practicing. But , only when someone is asking them to do so.(for some; you know who you are) So what to do? If you don't like people to keep nagging on you then practice yourself luh. If not don't dislike the person who is telling you to practice. Because it's also difficult for that person. Yeah. So PeiYi , jiayou eh:]!
Tan buo yue....I've got nothing to say about! Since Fu lao shi is always there. So i think they are not slacking around. Uh-huh.
GuanYue....Hmmm , even though they are newcomers , i can see they are practicing? Espeacially YIXUAN! :D He plays even though he don't know how to, during combine practices.Lols. You know? The rest , please come for your practices. And don't leave your instrument at home when you know you are having practice. Guo lao shi did come. I see hope laa:x! Jy eh guan yue. :].
Cello...not practicing hard enough. Espeacially for the pai zi things. When Qu lao shi teached finished , the next practices we always forget eh? LOLS! That's why we must buck hard on this:]. To make sure that we know every kind of paizi. To keep up with others. Anw , just jy barh:]

My comments for the time being. Trying to keep this blog alive:x!
Hearts; CiEn

2009-08-15T14:40:00.003+08:00

Since nobody is doing up the blog lately. So i am gonna update whatever it is supposed to be updated. Anyway , will get someone to be in charge of this blog! Muahaha , Evils:x! Alright , Co has an upcoming performance on the october 28th right? Jy marn co peeps. If ya not gonna practice hard , we will lose this opportunity to perform on the stage. It's gonna be Jin Chu Xiong Feng , Perhapsx3 or lao shu qu qing. According to what Ting lao shi said if we cannot cope with Perhapsx3 we are gonna play lao shu. Yups. Guess all would prefer Lao shu right? Since it seems to be easier for almost everyone:]! Erhu , gotcha learn Sai Ma for a lil performance of yourself right? And Tanbuoyue and etc has a song tgt? If I'm not wrong. Let's see , we've got about 2 months to go. But it's going to be short. Because the EOY will take up alot of our precious practices. So let's keep going and do your best. Co people , you've got to bring home your instrument to practice. Don't keep yourself absent from co will you? Please. CO needs all of you. Don't give up so easily yeah? I'll will try my best to built up CO and so do all the excos. & of course all the members.

Next , Don't come late for all your practices. You know yourself that what time you are suppose to report at and don't give all sorts of reasons unless it's a valid reasons. Coming up with some punishments soon:x. Takecare! Hahaha. Okay i trust that all of you won't be late right? I pray so! And i know very well who normally will and not, so do all the excos. We kept our eyes one opened and one closed.

Okay i guess that's all:D!

2009-06-21T18:37:00.002+08:00

Hey people, shermin ong here. Just to post something.

Holiday is gonna end soon, better get back to your normal body clock and have you guys done your holiday work? I bet no right. Tsk tsk. HAHHA. Errr. Although we did get gold, but if you guys don't stay at that standard, the gold award is just gonna be a "by luck" award. Keep up the good work when you guys are having SYF.

There isn't any different between now and then. Just work hard and stay as a gold orchestra which you guys are. Don't let others have a chance to bad mouth us kay! But doesn't mean that there's some people who really will bad mouth us la. {i think} HAHAHHA!

xoxo.

2009-02-08T20:55:00.003+08:00

hello seniors, and children:)
I'm sure we had a great time on the 1st of feb. I thank those who turned up be it late or early( better late than never ), and for some that did not come, thanks for texting in. i thank you for being responsible, and that your came willingly, knowing that it's our one and only rehearsal at the Singapore Conference Hall.
Definitely, before, during and after the journey, i am sure we had bonded with one another, be it minor or alot. Lastly, CO thank those guys who came and help out!

As for the upcoming SYF, i've always wanted to share this with all of your, since last year, when we were supposed to have a meeting, but later it got cancelled, and i doubt there is any spare time that your will be able to make it down after school, to hear me nag, so i sincerely hope that your will read this with understanding alright?

For a ensemble, a band, or an orchestra to work out, there has to be 3 critireas; vision, commitment, and action.
firstly, there are 3 types of people. one- who make things happen. two- who watch things happen. three- who don't know what is happening. Therefore, i hope all of you will be type number 1(al least give it a try:D)

secondly, learn to create, not to complain.
we can help you to improve, but we cannot change you, only you can change yourself.
the best way to solve a problem is? just solve it.
and, failure is success's mummy.

Thirdly, it is not what you play, it is why you play.
so our targets and questions for yourself are:
1. not simply awards only
2. but working together as a team.
3. your personal character development.
4. how much have you grow as a student?
5. what did the rehearsal show you?

Lastly, in order to be successful;
we have to do/be all this;
1. entertaintment(sway, and move when you need:D)
2. appreciation(for your teachers, your leaders, and the music)
3. commitment
4. bonding(we'll be there for each other!)
5. persevereance(don't give up so easily, as long as you try)
6. discipline(don't be late, and please turn up!)
7. cooperation(we have to cooperate in order to succeed alright?)
8. resilience
9. endurance(learn to give in and give way(: )
10. determination
11.confidence(have confidence in yourself, when you play wrongly, it's alright, everyone makes mistakes right?)
12. attitude(have the right attitude, respect is important)
13. understanding our songs(understand what is required, why is it special? how to interpret the song?)
14. feelings/emotions(sway with the song, and be strong!)

okay, i'm done. i hope your have read it, and apply it as well! we can do it alright!

To all secondary one juniors,
CO welcomes you with open hands! don't be shy, and speak up alright, but at the same time, be humble and respect your seniors!

with love,
Lynn wee.

*SCREAMS* your co shirt will be coming soon:D HAHA
firstly; i've got my agenda list out for this post.
(1)duty
(2)about co
(3)our song
i shall start on (1), hmm, i feel that, it's everyone's duty to keep the co room clean, so let's do a part alright, and i don't expect the same people doing the duty always.
okay, my second point. about co, some of us got scolding, but instead of facing the problems, dont choose to run away alright. we're one, and we'll support and be there for anyone who looses faith or confidence- as long as you practice and tried your best. so please, lets face this together, and enjoy every practice together although it's tiring. plus, study hard for your exams, education is important:D
lao shu qu qing!(is it correct?) okay, listen carefully, it's our blog song! and learn to love the song!
*SLs, your post!
WITH SUPER DUPER UPER LOTS OF LOVE; LYNNWEEEEEE.

on friday, one of our co mate lost her uniform, with her house keys inside.
so, if anyone of your have taken the uniform by mistake, please pass it to your sectional leaders!

IMPORTANT, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BELONGINGS OUTSIDE ANYMORE, BRING IT IN TO THE AVA ROOM!

and, lets work together, to see if there're any suspicious people walking around. take good care of your valuables okay!

REMINDER!

2008-07-21T20:43:00.004+08:00

REMINDER!

Firstly, ruan used the AVA room, and the teacher used a zhong ruan, but no ruan members helped to clear, in the end, it laid on the floor, and it was not kept in the box.

secondly, someone left her pipa in the ava room just like that and went home. we know who the culprit is, so if you want your pipa, please look for us.

thirdly, please please please remember to bring back your "pu" and your file, because, other people might use our room.

and, please remember, (sectional leaders take note): DUTY ROSTER

MONDAY: ERHU AND DA JI YUE

TUESDAY: GUAN YUE

FRIDAY: CELLO AND RUAN

we are all a part of yyssco, play your part, and we'll succeed. we come together as one co, one music.

As Ding lao shi said , 老鼠娶亲 , it is a difficult piece for RUAN and PERCUSSION .
Yeah ! must remember and practice every day for at least 1 hour ! alright ? =]
The speed of some parts of the song are quite fast. So you guys have to practice more on this areas and slowly, you'll be able to do it !

This is my first time posting in the chinese orchestra blog and i don't really know what to blog about but i'll try. ;D okay, on friday, i think it was our first da he zhou on lao shu qu qing and to be honest, i can tell that everyone is working very hard. i'm sure that all of us are working towards that GOLD award for next year's SYF and i'm sure we can do it together! :D hahas. As for guan yue, we kind of slacked on friday as we didn't practised as much as the other sections. but not to worry! i'm sure guan yue will work very hard too! hahas.

Well, before i end of this post, i just want to say a "JIAYOU" to all chinese orchestra members and for the secondary ones, if your need any help regarding anything, you can approach the seniors. I'm sure they'll do their very best to help you so don't be shy alright? hahas, okay. Besides working hard for the SYF, remember to work hard, play hard and study smart! take care of your health too, we won't want you to fall sick. HAHA.

from here, i'll end of my post.

much love,

Cheryl Yuen :D

Hellos,
the new CO blog is finally done.
Thanks to our CHAIRMAN, Lynnwee.
The reason for us to change the whole CO blog, is because we lost the username and password. And decided that a new blog also means a new start.
&Thank you everyone for the performance on 040708, Friday.
It's wonderful and a lot of other people came to say that we've made a great improvement.
Now that the performance has ended, i hope that each and everyone of you make an effort to learn our new SYF song, 老鼠娶亲. Especially for the Sec 1s, as this is your first time playing an SYF song. Let's put more focus on this SYF song instead of 男儿当自强. Let's work hard together and clinch a better award for next year's SYF !
I can see that many of us are trying hard to understand the score and working hard. At this period of time, try to bring home your instruments to practice. As a saying goes :" 熟能生巧."
Although we can't be perfect, we can be excellent right? And also, don't neglect our studies while practising (:
Love,
Jolene :D

2008-07-11T23:27:00.002+08:00

HELLO!
hmm, i've just finish creating, and i guess there's a long way more to go; to link, add in music and etc.
but i hope that with this blog, it helps to bond all the members of the chinese orchestra together, to succeed together, and to succumb to failure together.

i belive that we will shine one day, it only takes time.
so let's do our very best for the upcoming SYF next year, and strive for the best.

if possible, let's make full use of the time and get closer to each other, to know each other better, thus to give a better and more confortable environment. with everyone's cooperation, we can do it! HAHA(feel like a naggy lady)

and i'm very proud that some of us actually suggested to play captain ball today as a whole, but unfortunately, only a few stay back to play, we had a great time. but it would definitely be great if alot more of us are playing, however, i look forward to the future, where we know each other well.
take care, and practice your, "lao shu qu qing"

with love,
Lynn wee.
