Favourite 'place' with the favourite people


I do miss taking off my shoes every Monday and Friday; entering the music room, setting up our instruments, making music with all of you.

2010 - 2011 has been a challenging year for us. Though we have faced many rocks in the race, we have overcomed them together, laughed together, cried together. Without unity, we will not be able to finish every lap of the race. Remember, band is never a one man's efforts.

Thank you for all the efforts you guys have put in for yesterday's investiture. :) Didn't know that we have got MJ & JB in band! Any girl singers? Haha.

Congrats to the new committee members! :) Work well together!

On the lighter note, prac hard for your upcoming performance babies! ;)

Love you all, dear oranges!



Love, Jiahui.

This is us, for 2011 SYF. 2011 SYF is definitely not an easy journey, but I'm so proud to say, we have persevered till the end. =) Like what Sir Badrul has said today, " Its like learning how to ride a bike. We'll fall, but we have to learn how to get up. "


I'm so glad to see individual of you has grown so much, how much effort you guys had put in, how this SYF helped to pull us together.


2011 SYF has been a part of my memories of friendship. =) Thank you for the bittersweet memories. Will miss you guys a lot!




We've won the battle, as a family! =)
Stand firm together for every obstacles!



Thank you for playing a part in this journey. Keep in mind, band is never a one man's effort. Love you all! =)



Jiahui.

Remember this photo? The tears of joy and hard work behind it? The one which we took on 6th April 2009. On the very same date of 2011, we'll be having our SYF. What kind of photo would we be taking on 6th April 2011? It all lies on us.



5 days later, we'll be in this stage... I'm sure every one of you would want to be part of this battle. Overcome the temptation this weekends, don't let the devil win over you. Endure for this weekends. Take good care of yourself!

Your presence for the last 2 prac is very important! Drink more water, eat more fruits. Don't fall ill at this time!


Hang in there for one more week!!! Do remember what sirs have said. Do not let the effort go down to the drain.


IMPORTANT


  • Be consistent!

  • F.O.C.U.S

  • Listen!
Sir Badrul has been emphasizing on these every prac. We've got only 15 minutes of fame and it'll determine our 2 years of glory. Put in your 101%!


Remember, we are ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE FAMILY! We need to think as one, work as one! Only with unity, we can win this battle! =)


Let our 2011 SYF be a part of our memories of friendship.


6 more hours!!!

GREAT JOB for the performance in Genting! =) Really proud of you, oranges! I'm sure you've learnt a lot from the trip, be it as an individual or as a section -- APPLY THEM! Each section has got your own parts to work on.

Remember, at the end of the day, we play music as a band. We go up
to the stage as a band. The audience listen to us as a band. The judges judge us
as a band. If one of the sections do not improve, it will pull the band down.

You would want to experience the thrill of victory again for SYF, don't you? The screaming, shouting, cheers, hugs, tears all that we had in Genting. It all lies in our hands. Do not be complacent with what we've achieved. There are rooms for improvements.

On the lighter note, please work on our choice & set piece during the break! By working on your own parts, it will help to lessen the amount of work we need to do when we resume our practices. Do drink more water & take good care of yourself! Many of you are starting to fall ill.. Lastly, if you haven't touch your homework, its time to start! :P Enjoy your break, see you on 16th dec! =)

How many days do we left till Genting trip? 22 days! Are you ready for it? You should know it well enough after what Sir said the last practice. NO TIME TO WASTE. Remember the purpose of this trip?

On the side note, the band schedule on the blog has been updated! Fall in @ 945 on tuesday in orange tee! Take good care of yourself this holidays, we can't afford anyone to be ill this holidays with the number of practices we have. See you! =)

Jiahui.

Hello oranges! How's holidays so far? Been going out or staying at home? Well, if you haven't touch your beloved instrument, better do it!!! We do not have any practices this holidays, therefore manage your time well between practising and studying.

Remember to complete your holiday homework too! Enjoy your holidays! Don't fall ill, drink more water, eat more apples. ;-)

Love, Jiahui.
