Hello everyone, I'm here again (:

Anyway, is everyone feeling better? I really hope so.. No more tears ok? You know how devastating I felt when all of you were crying in front of me? The seniors felt really terrible too.. ):

But really, I know all of you have done your best.. THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR. The medal itself, whatever it is, be it gold or silver or bronze will not replace all the good times we had together.. All the laughter in choir (hahahahaha), all the friendships we've made. That's something you should be proud that you have with you.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE HARD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you teachers, Mdm Suzie, Ms Alex, Mdm Yong... You were our pillars of strength.. Couldn't have gone this far without all your support. Thank you so much.

Thank you Izza for all your help with the Altos. That I didn't have a chance to thank you. Love you babe! :D Thank you Rafie and Saren for sectionals with the boys. Great job both of you. I still don't know how you can manage Yikang during sectionals hehe. Thank you Suhailah for all the physical warm ups. You're the best girl!!!!! Thank you Safirah HinEr Adlin Cassalyn for helping me to carry out sectionals. I sure had a great time :D Will miss all of you seriously ):

Thank you Kat!!! Thanks for all the hard work.. your several screams and laughter to the choir. Thank you soooo much everybody.

Thank you choir. You guys are the best. Thanks for all the effort you've put in. ALL THE MORNING PRACTICES RMB? FROM 6.50 to 7.20.. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love love love love love y'all!!!!! PROMISE NOT TO CRY ANYMORE OK? :)

And of course. Thank you Mr Tham. For believing in us and being such a great conductor..... It would be difficult to find anybody to replace you.. We couldn't have come this far without your guidance, without your care, without all your jokes and your patience towards us. I bet all the sec fours will miss you ): THANK YOU SO MUCH, we all love you Mr Tham!!!!

Well, I need another caretaker of this blog HAHAHA, who wants to take over? Beep me or MSN me! I'll give you the email and pass.

I guess it's one of my last posts here. Again, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. It was such a great experience being with y'all. Promise not to forget me and the rest of the seniors ok? :D

With love, (for the last time)

Final Lap

Sunday, April 12, 2009

Choir, this is already the final lap,
Let us all put in our very best and performance the best we have ever had
Prove those who think lowly of choir that we can still success despite of their criticism..
I have faith in everyone of you..
I'll do my best and You'll do yours..
Please don't back stab the choir by not attending practices..
Some of you told me your scared and therefore you tend to be stressed up
I'll tell you one thing,
Fear does not bring you anywhere,It'll only bring you to failure
Don't be scared to face with fear .. and choir,
Even if we were to do badly(MUST NOT HAPPEN)
Results does not matter,What matters id the experience that we gained from it..
So...
Let's all work together and STRIVE for a SILVER
and make everyone especially MR THAM PROUD OF
US..

Senior

last lap

Monday, April 6, 2009

Hey people.

I know we didn't really perform well today but hey, please don't feel demoralised or what not. It's the 15th of April that we should aim for. So please, don't give up. Even I'm trying my best to believe I can and to believe you guys can. You're not alone, we're all in this together.

This last lap of SYF, we're going to have morning practices. I think you're probably groaning and moaning but hey, please sacrifice a bit. We need to practice listening to each other more. And we cannot ALWAYS depend on mr tham all the time!!

So starting from this wednesday,

Choir practices at 'the bridge' at 7 am everyday. Only on thursdays, we'll start at 7.30 am.

Please spread around. I really hope attendance will be good. Let's give it our all everyone. You seriously don't want your effort to go down the drain right?

Your P that loves you manymanymany much, (HAHAHHAHA)
Iliyana.

PS/ We have 2 more practices left (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gambatte choir! We can do it ok? Please don't give up, I have faith in all you! :D

With love, Iliyana

choir exchange!

hello there........

well...first of all....i'm gonna praise the choir for singing well enough for 'arirang'...during the choir exchange on saturday.

however..'dana dana' was a little disastrous...due to our rushing.......haha :P

to overcome this,we should not get tensed up.....no matter whether we are the first choir to perform or the last. Try to relax,take deep breaths and CHILL PEOPLE...

our singing still has very little dynamics....i'm sure we all know that we sung in tune(VERY IN TUNE) when mr.tham asked us to 'swell'.
so...'swelling' is actually the key to our problems i believe....for our standard,i believe we should continue to do 'swelling'....it's the only way it can help us...yes..

SYF is like 10 days away.....choristers please PLEASE remember your parts and its dynamics....we CANNOT offer to forget these little things.......IT MIGHT ACTUALLY COST US OUR MEDAL. There is no time to be 'slacky' during practices....no time to groan.

our last 2 practices.....please make the best out of it...and to the guys....think about that silver medal...and how proud we are going to show it to our school....and everyone. BE MEN.AND STOP FOOLING AROUND.

for monday's performance: please treat it like SYF. SING WELL. SWELL. AND DO NOT RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLLOW MR.THAM'S BEATS!!!!

and lastly sing with emotions.......a song cannot come alive without EMOTIONS.

signing off,
kathilein:)

please take care of your voices!

Thursday, April 2, 2009

SYF is freaking near already. I hope you guys are already stressed-out or panicky.. Well in a good way.

Anyway, it's seriously the right time to start the 'food ban'!!!

From now onwards, YOU ARE TO AVOID:

1) Deep-fried food/snacks (harms your throat)

2) Oranges/lemons/any kind of citrus fruits (causes cough and PHLEGM!)

3) Sweets/CHOCOLATES/ice creams etc

4) Sweet drinks!!!!!!!!

5) Anything that harms your throat (it depends on each individual actually)

Endure ok!!!!! You can enjoy your whole life eating choco or anything else right after SYF!

Having said that, please drink lots of water, like what Mr Tham said, at least 2 litres of water everyday! Remember our common goal everyone. Not really high up there but, really. It takes effort from every single of you to make our dream possible.

ANYWAY, OUR EXCHANGE IS IN TWO DAYS TIME!
Please report to school: this SATURDAY, 4th April, 7.45 AM SHARP.

The bus will leave at 8.15 and we're not going to wait for you if you turn up late ok. Seriously, I'm going to be super angry and you'll spoil my day and everybody's day! Hehehehe. It's kinda our last performance, yeah for most of us. Let's give it our best shot alright! Treat it as SYF performance!

See you people :)
