hello to all.:)
EX-P here.
what I wish to tell you guys is,

In life, we face different obstacles,
and barriers. the road might seem long
or even tedious. but, just as you all work together,
and have a common mindset, I believe,
all obstacles will not stand in your way.

do your best in whatever,
your task or mission is.
if, there are times, where you feel that,
something is wrong somewhere,
feel free to approach your seniors.
I believe, they will help you all through the notes,
and even the rhythm.:)

lower sec guitarist,
do listen to what your seniors say.
cause, its not easy to organize such a big ensemble.
if there are parts that the seniors think, isn't good enough,
then do drill on the parts.:)
I believe you all can do it right?:)

please practice your songs at home,
when you have time, cause,
the effort you put in.
will show, in the music.:)
so do, do your parts well.

don't give up okay?
and, we sec4 seniors of 09,
miss you guys.

don't disappoint sir.:D

2009-08-24T17:53:00.002+08:00

2009-07-31T22:06:00.007+08:00

Despite constant reminders, i bet all of you didnt even practise your guitar at hme. Today's sectionals wasnt effective at all. Sectionals are meant to improve on the playing and the sound on the whole group, not individual. Cuz this should be done at hme, not cca time. Everybody is complaining tht guitar lesson is boring. But think for yourself, who is the one who cause this? If you had practise your guitar at hme, we would have completed Dance of the Yao, exercises on the worksheet etc. Discipline is all you need. Please help to train your butt to stick on the chair. The sec 1s and 2s are going for syf 2 yrs ltr. We cant afford to get another silver. The result 2 years ltr will take effect from now onwards. Sir has done his part by printing and teaching, how abt you?

Moral of post: Please practise your guitar at hme.
:D bye.

2009-07-14T20:36:00.002+08:00

Attention please!
There'll be no cca this week.

2009-04-29T18:18:00.008+08:00

I didnt resize the photos, for tagboard and etc, go to the bottom of the page.

I've updated the photos taken on syf day.

The Sec4s have passed out.
I hope you guys can do better and produce better results for Mr Yeo.
Dont compare your age, whatsoever. We're comparing on who's playing better and who's not.
There's no such things as: 你很大hor？来考我。
Eng translation: You very big hor? Come and test me.
One of the Sec 3 said this to a sec 2 member.
If she's doing her part on helping us. What about you? You're the future leader, and you're showing this type of attitude?
Like, hello? Who would want a leader to have attitude like that? Who would want to strive and work hard for you if you yourself as a leader is not trustable.
Now, all the Sec3s are leaders. Leaders doesnt mean you can scold or insult your juniors.
If you guys give up so easily, what will happen to Guitar Ensemble?
It's not that you are lousy and we're giving up on you.
I hope all the Sec3s leaders can treat the Sec2s with respect.
It's a fact that some Sec2s are better than the Sec3s.
And there's no wrong for a Sec2 student to help or correct any mistakes made by Sec3s.
As you get older, the responsibilities you have starts to stack up.
Childish acts and immature thinking brings you nowhere.

Now that you guys have gained experience from this year's syf, it's time to do something about it.
Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
- Fred Brooks

Lastly, A great leader has more interest in the well-being of the whole than they do in their own ego.
