Hello!

Thanks for tagging on the tagboard! Continue to tag! Don't leave the blog dead can?? But! No nasty comments. =D We appreciate your concerns dear seniors! We will work hard! Very hard! Must believe in ourselves okay JSSCO? We can overcome any obstacles as long as we work together in unity as one. =D No obstacle can stop JSSCO.

Calvin the Quarter Master has something to tell you all but forgot to announce it just now at the debrief:

"Everyone! Please remember to tell me that you are borrowing the instruments! The music stands have all been labelled according to instruments, please kindly take the ones only for your instrument. And please place them back in the specific drawer in case of misplacing. Thirdy, please fork out some time during, before or after practice to label your name on the stand.

Note: one name per masking tape, each stand can only be shared by two at max.

Lastly, please bring your music stands to sectionals. =) It may not be convenient but we don't want you to place your scores on the table and you try to bend forward to see it, bad for your body! Thanks everyone! "

Just to add on, for the masking tape and permanent marker you can approach Yue Ling or Tian Xiao as they have the items stated. Please kindly bring your music stands to sectionals. Get used to the stands, you have to use stands during combined and performances. Most importantly it concerns about your health. If you bend too much to see the score you might develop a hunchback. That's bad ya know? We don't want to see JSSCO members with a hunchback distincting us clearly from other CCAs. Take care, your health should be the priority! =D

Jiayou everyone. =D

2009-09-05T11:58:00.001+08:00

Hello everyone!

O Level examinations are coming up, N level's staring, and End Of Year exams are just round the corner! Please study hard, eat more fruits (stay healthy), drink more water, and relax when appropriate (don't get too stressed up until everything inside start collapsing!).

Next week there are NO CO PRACTICE EXCEPT ON FRIDAY!!!
Friday's practice starts 9am to 12nn, first combined then sectional.
I'm sure the SLs have sent smses to you guys! PLEASE REPLY SMSES if you can, so that we know you know that you know. =P

There is a concert next year's March, so to the Sec1s who are still not familiar with your instruments, say HI today and bring him/her home with you. Bring home to practise and not put as decorations because it's pretty!

Our seniors did the first Espresso @ Kopistop two years ago, and now, we're going to do it again as post exam activity.
The Juorng Kopistop is just infront of the F&N room. that small pretty stage with a big whiteboard behind. Yeah there!
One performance per day during recess (at different times), and for that, we're gonna pick soloists, or people to play in small groups. Thus, practise your instru at home, build some chemistry between you and your instrument, sleep together, eat together. So if you're chosen, at least you're prepared!

Do stay tuned for more announcements, drop by every now and then and say "hi" at the tagboard! We are open to constructive and valuable suggestions for improvements for the blog or even the CO. Just leave your suggestion at the tagboard, and we'll see :D
Please do not misuse the tagboard for any kinds of 人生公鸡攻击 and no vulgarities please! And also, tag with your real name or your recognisable nickname if you're shy(like Lulu can tag as Baluku, no prob), not your alias or your 偶像's name!!!

Together we are one orchestra! Stay united, and gambate!

We'll fight together!!!

WE STILL GOT THE NEXT BATCH OF JUNIORS TO FIGHT IT BACK!!

WE'RE THE CHAMPION AFTERALL

Take care of yourselves!

Cheers (:

2009-04-25T08:15:00.002+08:00

A silver yet a golden journey.

It's okay that we got a silver, we're honoured and blessed with th result.
So what if others just look at our result, they never understand th journey is like.
So what if we fall this time, we will stand up and fight even harder.
So what if we didn't achieve what we wanted, we'll get it back two years later.
So what if some laugh at us, we tried our best and we know we're gold takers.

WE'RE THE CHAMPION AFTERALL.

It's okay that we fall this time,
WE'VE TO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK . PROVE IT AND SHOW IT, JSSCO!

Although this setback really hit hard on all of us, we learnt. We've learnt so much that the judges could nv reward us with. Because they never understand except JSSCO.
Look at how much efforts, sweats we've put in. NO ONE REGRETS. NO ONE!
Just like weeks before th SYF we started practising so hard, because we want to prove it all to everyone who is disappointed, or looking down on us.
And yes, our spirit really touches them and made them look otherwise on us.
WE'VE SUCCEED.
And although seniors almost everyday lessons end at 5pm, but we never fail to come practice with the juniors. This shows that we all cared and really love you all.
So much of scoldings, fun and joy, we survived. WE'VE PULL THROUGH TH WHOLE JOURNEY.
This leave us with no regrets.

I know everyone's disappointed but it's okay.
WE STILL GOT THE NEXT BATCH OF JUNIORS TO FIGHT IT BACK!!
Juniors do work hard, very hard for seniors, yourselves, Mrwong and all the teachers. Take 'o9 SYF as a learning experince for you all, and rock on da stage two years later.
Show it to everyone that WE'RE THE CHAMPION OKAY.
Seniors will always be behind all of you and watch you all for th next SYF.
I'm certain that JSSCO will be th strongest and bonded orchestra ever exist in JSS!
JIAYOUUUU!

Through th whle experience I've seen all of you grown, much stronger and mature.
It's really a heartwarming thing to see you all grown. You all have grown so strong that no obstacles could bring us down. You all have grown so mature that on one would expect.
I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU ALL.

Lastly, I've learnt we can't choose how we feel, but we can choose how we do to it.
So, let's put down everything and move on further as being more stronger and mature.
MOVE ON JSSCO AS A FAMILY , A HOME.

2009-04-21T20:02:00.002+08:00

TMR WILL BE THE BIG DAY FOR US!!

JSSCO! In just a few more hours time and it's 22nd of april which mark th day of our SYF!
OMGOMGOMG! So fast!!

BUT! Don't panick , dont be afraid! Just enjoy yourself on th stage and rmb what mrwong said to us! Play w your heart and soul, feel th music w your heart. Move and sway your body!!
Let us do ourself, Mrsng, Mrslow, Mdm tay, Jss and Mrwong proud! We must touch then w our music, the music we played by no one else but US, JSSCO!
Just relax yourself and put everything aside when you're on stage.
Believe in yourself! JIAYOU!

Give yourself a pat when you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning.

2009-04-11T16:06:00.008+08:00

Hello people, I know it's been ONE MONTH since the last post. Yah, that's like very very long ago~ but never mind, I'm here now :D (okay wtvrrr!)

Alright, 11 days to our SYF. That's not a lot of time but I believe this is enough for us to make a difference. If you regretted not practising hard in the past, this is the time to make it up. Though it may just be a short period of 11 days, it's definitely better than nothing. At least, you can tell yourself that you've done whatever you could, you've done your best... etc

That day when I was going to the canteen for our in between-lessons lunch break, I heard music from above me. IT'S THE SOUND OF OUR CO INSTRUMENTS! Woah, that moment I was so touched that people actually went to practice!!! From my classroom, I still can hear! OMG, the feeling is totally indescribable.

SEEE, we can be committed to CO de!!! & because of our commitment, we will get the results we deserve. RIGHT? Remember, it's because of our COMMITMENT, HARD WORK AND LOTS OF PRACTICE.

Some of you may feel really tired; balancing personal life, studies and CO. But I'm sure you're gna be okay. With the encouragements and motivations from one another, we're gonna pull through everything. Yes, EVERYTHING.

Because we're JSSCO,

奋勇前进！

2009-02-27T18:03:00.002+08:00

HI PEOPLE,

SELL MORE TICKETS :D thanks a lot!

"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; its when you had everything to do, and you've done it. "
- Margaret Thatcher

Hello, Common Tests are next week! So hmm, I put a motivational quote here to, obviously, motivate all those who can't find their motivations to get started with revisions etc.

There's probably CO next week so it's very impt to manage your time well so that you have time for studying!

Good luck everybody, :D

SO MEMORISE! :D Also, we must learn to listen th one another!! Dont always play deafly and go on your own beat own pitching when you know you are wrong! So must open our ears uh! Esp song of cicada th kuai ban must JIAYOU!! Esp gaohu, the beat uh. Alamak!! Must be focus okay! (:
Also, we must play more relax-ed! Try to sway and move your body more ~~ Dont be a STONEE OR ROCKS OR PEBBLES! swayyyyy!
Sec twos must jiayou okayyy! FOCUS IS THE KEY :)

Cello/Bass section was quite alright under mrlee's coaching! But the intonation til must improve!
Must work harder uh! Cause mrlee is really quite a good instructor. Tho he is really strict, many of you cried bcos of him but it's ALL FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! You will know then you will learn! So jiayou jiayou! Hope that all of th cellist and bassist (?) dont miss practices too often!

Hello (:

Here's something to take note of:

Members should refrain from using offensive or even vulgarities in their personal messages (MSN) where anyone who are in the same loop are able to read. Especially our student leaders! It is understood that everyone need to have their personal spaces, however, using such languages are inappropriate.

P/S: Maybe you can block any teachers if you really have to include offensive words/vulgarities in your personal message :0

2008-08-20T21:21:00.003+08:00

Hello everybody.

As you know, today's practice (is it even counted as one?) was terrible.

You all heard what MrsLow & MrsNg told us today right? It's time to reflect on ourselves and think, do we really want to lose such a good conductor? Somebody like MrWong is not like, you can just find anywhere easily.

Think about what he told us. There's so many school out there waiting for him to go to. But he stayed with us even though our attitude towards CO wasn't very good.

So try to think about what we can do to bring back MrWong. It's not enough for only the Committee members to think of what to do. EVERYBODY's effort & heart is needed. Also it's not enough to only SAY what you want to do, SHOW it.

Hopefully, everything will be fine soon. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

2008-08-15T21:31:00.003+08:00

Hello people :D Here's a little reminder to you:

Please remember submit your designs of the CO tee to any of the Welfare Coords. Felicia (3/4), Vivian (3/4), Janet (3/2), Kaiqin (3/3).
Hand in $4 for the farewell party (if you havent) to Treasurers, Yanbing (3/4) & ShiHui (3/3).

Now that Commont Tests are over, CO practices will resume. After studying so hard for Common Tests, it's time to put in the same effort (or even more!) in practising your instruments. Jiayou!

Goodbye & have a great weekend ahead!

2008-07-16T18:12:00.004+08:00
