Update, Update.
Monday, December 20, 2010
Good evening all, Enning here. Hahaha, I'm here to update. It's my first time posting in this blog, so yeah. (like what, lol.) So do inform me if there's a need to change anything that I've typed below. Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience caused, people.
So.. I think there's a need for me to type down our choir golden principles, so here's it.
Our mission
1. Making full use of our singing talent
2. Understanding the techinal and theoretical aspects of singing
- Important qualities of sound needed to produce: Clear, Full, Healthy and Expressive.
- Learn to sight read.
3. Creating a choir identity
- Realising the importance of each member in a choir.
- Feel proud of ourselves while accepting feedback and comments from others.
4. Building confidence and qualities such as discipline, commitment, and responsibility
- Taking initiative for the benefit of the Choir.
- Learning to prioritize.
- Willing to make sacrifices.
- Respecting fellow members, teachers and conductors.
- Being serious in learning and performing.
- Stay forcused during practices.
5. Apreciating and enjoying music while sharing the joy with our family, friends and community.
-
Attendance
1. Inform your Sectional Leader in advance if you're not coming to choir or going to be late.
2. Please mark the attendance as soon as practice starts.
(0): For those who are absent at that point of time.
(0 with a /): For those who were late but only after facing the consequences (Refer to below)
-
Performances and rehearsals
1. Smile, enjoy yourselves.
2. Mobile phones are not allowed.
3. Appropriate attire (Informal/formal)
4. Before performing: Only conductors/teachers are allowed to use verbal communication. Hand signals are allowed.
5. When performing, no communication is allowed between members, no giggling.
6. After performing, enter or exit quietly, smiling and gracefully. No communication till reaching the holding venue.
Practices
1. Be punctual.
-15 minutes allowance if raining
2. Bring pocket files for every practice with required scores filled in.
3. Switch your phones to 'Silent' mode during practices
4. Do not use your phones.
If one fails to do so, is to face consequences.
Consequences
1. Attendance
- Absent with no valid reasons (e.g. more than twice per month: 10 minutes of "Chair")
- 2nd offence: Special Yoga
2. Performance and rehearsals
- If any members fails to obey any of the rules without an acceptable reason: 5 minutes of "Tabletop"
3. Practices
- If caught for not obeying any of the rules, a detention of 30 minutes will have to be served after practice. Alternatively, you can choose 5 minutes of both "Chair" and "Tabletop".
*Rules/Consequences are subjected to changes only with agreement of the whole choir including conductor and teachers.
< Warning: For the below, there's not a need to read it. But if you want, sure. These are just some thoughts from me. And some boring words. So yup. >
Here's it, it's not much work actually if you think about it. We do not need a lot from you. We just want you to listen when it's time to listen, come to practices punctually, and concentrate. (and stuffs like that, ya know.) Please pardon us if we ever sounds bossy, or am asking too much from you.
You're not the only one going through all these, the whole choir is. So, just do these favours. I hope it's not too much to ask for. As for me, I'll do them too. (I know I hadn't be oh-so-awesome, but you see, I'll try.) Next year shall be our SYF, let's aim for a Silver? I believe we could do it if we give it our best shot. Nothing is impossible right? You reap what you sow, so let's all just work hard together.
Please do not keep skipping choir practices just because you don't feel like coming, or because you think it's too bored. It's mean sometimes. You've to understand what goes wrong when you get scolded instead of getting sulky and complain. Think about it and put yourself in others' shoes. No one like nagging, neither do I like getting scolded. I'm like you, so I understand exactly how you feel. So don't keep doing that. Especially next year when SYF's already coming.
I really hope we could do it, because we can if you all work together. I'm sorry for being so naggy and draggy. Please pardon me for this long post. Sorry that I'm being such a humdrum person. (did I use that word correctly?!) alright, takecares choirmates. Hope you're enjoying this holiday alright. ^^ see you all on 28 alright!
Enning, 2324-34h.
Once again, thanks for reading this long post. (if you did bother to read it all)

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I had been in choir for four years. As singing is part of my hobby, i enjoy going to choir. But i had learnt that choir is not only about singing. What matter most is a "teamspirit" in order to become one united choir. It is not easy to do so because we really need cooperation with one another. But guess what, choir had achieve it. The choir has shown it at last.
You may think that choir practises are boring and you might not want to go. You might that wasting time to come for choir. But look, choir need you, choir want you and choir is part of you. Ask yourself again why you chose choir? It is your passion toward it.
Throughout my four years, I enjoy choir. The memory of singing together with every choirmate is what I will forever keep it in my heart. We might be started out as strangers, but bonding came as journey go on. Once you thought that person might be your enemy, may now be your best friend because through singing, we learn to understand the emotion of others and we learn to put ourselves in other people shoes. We learn to grow.
I just want to say that there are many good memory about choir and there is always a place in my heart for choir. And i hope choir will get Silver or Gold next year. All the best!
SHOUT OUT....."WE ARE A TEAM OF COMMITTED SINGERS WHO WORK HARD IN WHAT WE DO!!!!

Since almost all the seniors have written their farewell, now its my turn.
So it's been quite a journey with you all and a short one with the juniors.
So it's been quite a journey with you all and a short one with the juniors.
All I hope for is you all to remember the faces of the
seniors and remember the good they have thought you.
Forgive us for our sins or bad teaching, but remember
our words of advice and bring it on with you.
You all are just like another family and so
You all are just like another family and so
I hope you all will work together and achieve what
YOU want in next year's SYF. Dont go for expectations,
but for what you want to achieve.
Work hard and make
your time in choir useful for the choir will remember
you if you stay true to yourself and
help those who need it.
You guys need not feel sad, cause this is how it goes. Start learning to be independent in some things and also ask for help if you need. Mr Tham is always there but you need to help yourself.

I won't forget those fun and enjoyment moment in blss choir.Starting of 2007,when i'm just like those sec one,blur blur choose choir as one of my CCA choices.I was selected but i wanted to change to concert band as I scare tat choir will be torturing.however,i was psycho by my senior,guo jie,johnson and elvin(although now the sec one member doesnt know whose them) but just so you know,they are de few jokers in choir which made de whole choir more lively=less boring. TO SEC ONE MEMBERS,although I dont know all of you well but don feel tat choir is boring(although sometime its really boring) but at least you can make new frenz and one day you might find tat after all,choir is not so boring. TO MDM SUZIELA(if you are viewing now),although you had left but I want to say a thank you to you.you are a great teacher for your those effort tat you put in for de choir.you wont let us feel tat choir is like torturing place unlike MRS GOH.which will only know how to spoilt our mood in choir. TO MDM YONG,Thankyou too for being our choir teacher as you can understand wat we wan. TO MDM SHIDAH,although I don know you well but I think you will also made a good choir teacher.To be frank,starting when we were told tat you were our new choir teacher,I am thinkin tat luckly i will be stepping down soon as I dislike you,because you tend to act like you undertand de choir alot.But after tat saturday when I was told to serve detention with de other member tat were late too,we have interact with you and I found tat actually you are quite good,so don scare away those sec one choir member Haha. TO MR THAM,Thank alot for being our choir instructor for so long,i admit tat i'm not a good singer and i'm sorry tat sometime I will tend to spoilt de whole choir. You are de best choir instructor compare to de previous one and my primary school choir instructor. Although sometime de choir tend to disappoint you,but I hope you will continue to be blss choir instructor. TO RAMADAN,don keep on skipping choir,when we are gone,you will be de oldest already.So set a good example for de junior man! TO HANNAH,don keep on think tat choir suck,you just haven make more new frenz in it tat why you will think tat choir is boring,don always be so anti social! Make more frenz. TO SHIRLEY,not bad ar can become section leaders,don teach those junior crap ar. TO ALAN,you too,don teach crap too and don only concentrate at your 3 wifes,must concentrate on mr tham! I think I have talked too much already. Alright,enough,goodbye choir. Joe here.
greetings to all choir members reading this!
Friday, April 9, 2010
i've been in choir for four years, and i can honestly tell you, about 85% of the practices are really tiring. but.. at the end of the day, i'll always have a sense of satisfaction! i haven't been a good example to the members, i admit. i don't really attend the practices, and i'm not even one of the better singers. don't follow my footsteps, juniors. i'm sorry for that. the most memorable practices are probably those practices we had late at night during choir camp 2008 (i didn't attend the 2009 one). i remember us singing really well during those practices.. and we had fun too! would like take this chance to thank mr. tham for the patience towards all of us all these while. thank you mr. tham for tolerating all our nonsenses. members, please continue to work hard and aim for excellence in all that you do (school creed). aim for a silver in the next upcoming syf, don't disappoint mr. tham okay. i know you guys can do it.-
to the member who's closest to me in choir, enning:
ever since i stopped attending practices, every single time i ask you how is choir, you'd always tell me how disappointed you are with yourself. don't be! you gave in your best already, i believe. don't ever give up okay. you're the senior in choir now, be serious okay. take care of your juniors, be a good example, don't skip choir anymore! endure this last year and four more months next year, you'll be free :D cheers! i'll miss you, don't forget me!
to the youngest member i know in choir, zoe:
don't skip choir anymore! you've the potential, work hard, and you'll achieve your goal, i believe :) be serious during practices, don't be late anymore! you're sec 2 now, a senior already. work really hard, and be a sectional leader next year! i believe you can ^^ i'll miss you, don't forget me!
jia you everyone! you people are awesome~! i'll remember my days in boon lay choir forever, afterall, people leave but memories stay ^^
with lots of love from jessica (alto)! ♥
UNCLE-Aisha Crystal Serene

Hehe~
I'm Mai Ly from alto :D I just want to tell you guys NEVER GIVE UP! ^^ I believe our choir can succeed and acquire GOLD WITH HONOUR for the next coming SYF \(O.0)/ Having participated in SYF 2009, I know that it was very gruelling for all of us to both focusing on study and practices for SYF. But whatever the result was, I was very proud of our choir as we did put our best on this performance and there was nothing for us to regret about ^^ However please take note!! You should attend all the choir practices. Eventually, you will know how important your attendance is when you reach sec 4 -.-It is quite a waste if you study very hard but your conduct isn't good due to CCA. Make more friends in choir from different sections, you can feel more enjoyable when you come to every practices. Again, I hope you guys can achieve whatever you wish for, in either choir or your study. Make your school life becomes meaningful so that you don’t repent when you grow older and older like me sob~ sob~ :x
Good Luck PEOPLE !!

Don't ever feel demoralised with the outcome because you know you have done your best. Just keeping on moving and always remember to sing with your heart.

Dedicated to my sister, Hin Hui:
No matter what, don't give up ok? I can tell you that it's not going to be easy. However, your choirmates will be on the same boat with you. Hence, do your best together with them and make choir a stronger one.
With plenty of love,
Hin Wen.

Please continue working and you'll be right on track.:)
Thank you so much for your hardwork and dedication.
Everyone please turn up on this coming Friday practice.

We must not be complacent and strive harder.
The seniors believe in you all.

There should be practice tomorrow, so please check the oracle. Dont forget to purchase you books at Yamaha by today. There should be theory tomorrow.

Let's all hieve a sigh of relief,
cause the exams are over!
But to our sec 4s whose exams are starting today,
we as a choir wish you all good luck and all the best for the papers coming ahead.
We know you all can fight this tumbling block like how you all always do in choir.
;D
Everyone should know Kaleidorama is coming and we have alot to improve on.
Not to pressurize ok, because everyone must improve because no one and nothing can be perfect in this world. ;)
Mr Tham & the committee will be working hard to help you all and fill all your doubts on any notes of the 3 songs; Dana - Dana, Arirang and White Horses.
I know you all can do it and I know you all will put up a great ( last ) show for our seniors. Yes, they are leaving and this is the last chance to make a good impression. We all believe you all can do it and will do it. Everyone's in and sing well to prove to Mr Tham that you have a stand in this choir. Good luck and try your best my fellow friends. ;)
I just would like to confirm something.

Well, I've been seeing alot of you all not having interest in Choir.
Can I ask why?
I know some of you are forced, or somehow or another do not like to be in Choir.
I think most of you think Choir is boring, lame and just the worst CCA.
I really do not know why.
You can't expect to like something with one try.
You all are already in this CCA and you all can never change it.
Why not just try to have fun in Choir?
Why not enjoy singing ?
& why not smile when you're in the room ?
Choir is not a CCA only for girls,
only for the nerds,
only for immature people,
or any of such nonsense you think about.
It's a CCA where people from all walks of life,
put all their problems aside for awhile,
and just sing to enjoy the gift God have gave,
your very precious voices.
And Choir is for everybody,
and those who don't enjoy it,
are wasting a big part of their life.

DEAR JUNIORS, DEAR CHOIR,
Thursday, September 24, 2009
It's sad to hear that some of the juniors are saying that "Choir is boring, especially without the seniors." Hmmmm, we need to step up the game choir! We need to eliminate all the bad attitude, all that is stopping you as a choir to progress together.
BLChoir, you guys are lucky. Indeed lucky.... no doubt. For a couple of reasons:
1) YOU HAVE AN AWESOME CONDUCTOR. He perseveres with you, he never gives up on you, he motivates you, he's there for you to improve your singing skills and your attitude.
1) YOU HAVE AN AWESOME CONDUCTOR. He perseveres with you, he never gives up on you, he motivates you, he's there for you to improve your singing skills and your attitude.
2) YOU ARE A HUGE CHOIR. As compared to previous years, you are double the size and what the teachers are thankful about. Assuming that we don't count the absentees and latecomers and people who PON choir practice, the choir IS huge. AND YOU HAVE TO COUNT YOURSELVES LUCKY. Other schools have to 'suffer' with only 30 girls and at least 3 to 4 boys. How many people do you have in your choir, how many? Are you thankful enough that you're not in that position?
I understand that being in the choir for only a few months, you have yet to understand all this. You may think singing just needs a little practice, a teeny weeny bit of effort to produce a good sound. My dear juniors, you are wrong. Singing DOES need A LOT of effort. I do remember Mr Tham telling the choir that we are like swans - we may swim gracefully at the surface but deep underwater, we are paddling really hard to make that perfect move. Similarly, every choir practice is important, choir. It is the only chance to hone the skills, to bond with each other and most importantly while learning, you should also have fun with your sections and the entire choir.
You may think that: "Hey why should i attend choir practice? How come the teachers are nagging so much? Why are the seniors so KPO and bugging our lives? They have jolly well graduated, so why should they be concern about our state now?"
Don't you want the choir to 'look good' in front of the entire school? Don't you want people to watch us in awe as we sing? I bet you know what people think of us. You don't face this alone choir, we have been getting those bad remarks.. so why don't we change for the better and prove them wrong?
Putting achievements aside, don't YOU want to make a difference in choir? Don't YOU want to tell the whole world how proud you are in BLSS choir, how proud you are to be in a choir with the most awesome conductor? Don't you want to feel good about yourself?
We seniors are not KPO, but we want you to realise choir IS fun, IS enjoyable if you put your heart and soul to it. This can only be done when you are fully committed to singing, and when you fully realise your potential. YOU DO HAVE POTENTIAL CHOIR!!
Let me challenge you: Watch other choirs sing. Not to demoralise yourself or anything, but really. Watch how they move their bodies and emotions to fit into the song. How they make full use of they expressions. You will then realise what Mr Tham is actually trying to teach you, when he talks about the diaphragm and all that. How he wants the sound to be focused, brought forward, not airy and yadaa yadaa. First step, Youtube, imeem, just listen and be inspired. Without you knowing, you will be motivated to sing like them.
I've been really wordy (oops xD) and I hope it's all for a good cause :)
Just so you know, seniors, teachers, never gave up on you. Just so you know, seniors from many many years ago still wants to know and wants to be updated about choir. Make them proud, make yourselves proud, make the school proud, alright juniors? Kaleidorama's coming up, the end of year concert is approaching soon (i heard?) so please put in the effort. You will soon see the fruits of your labour - the effort you put in will all be worthwhile.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EVEN IF THE CHOIR IS NOT YOUR FIRST CHOICE, EVEN IF YOU FIND CHOIR BORING, A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, PLEASE DO REMEMBER,
DON'T GIVE UP ON CHOIR.
I understand that being in the choir for only a few months, you have yet to understand all this. You may think singing just needs a little practice, a teeny weeny bit of effort to produce a good sound. My dear juniors, you are wrong. Singing DOES need A LOT of effort. I do remember Mr Tham telling the choir that we are like swans - we may swim gracefully at the surface but deep underwater, we are paddling really hard to make that perfect move. Similarly, every choir practice is important, choir. It is the only chance to hone the skills, to bond with each other and most importantly while learning, you should also have fun with your sections and the entire choir.
You may think that: "Hey why should i attend choir practice? How come the teachers are nagging so much? Why are the seniors so KPO and bugging our lives? They have jolly well graduated, so why should they be concern about our state now?"
Don't you want the choir to 'look good' in front of the entire school? Don't you want people to watch us in awe as we sing? I bet you know what people think of us. You don't face this alone choir, we have been getting those bad remarks.. so why don't we change for the better and prove them wrong?

So far, choir practices have been very slow and not as fruitful as expected.
The committee believe we all are capable of more and can do so much better
but one thing for sure,
you people have to really be serious.
Once you’ve step into the room, just focus your mindset on learning new vocal techniques and singing to your bestest ability.
You people must put your handphones and friends aside.
No more messaging , no more talking.
Please listen to what your sectional leaders say or whoever

Please listen to what your sectional leaders say or whoever
asks you to keep quite and focus because only then the choir will change.
You guys must start with yourself and start changing your attitude.
Exams are around the corner and I think we should cover

Exams are around the corner and I think we should cover
as much as we can soon.
We must stay focused and finish Suriram in one more week.
Practice at home, sing to the mirror, project your voice. Breath in deep, use your diaphragm to sing.
All this if you practice at home, would make a lot of difference.
Please try your best these last few weeks before exams.
Never give up choir!
Please please please remember your notes and what you have learnt!
By next Friday,
You all have to memorise the first 3 pages already and is very sure of your notes.
Your sectional leaders will know who practiced at home and who didn’t.
Report punctually or simply, run.
You make the choice choir.
Still, thanks for those who really put in effort.
The future of this choir rests in everyone’s’ hands.
