Although I doubt any one of you would come to read this, let alone update this, I would like to leave one last post here for all of you while I'm still in Singapore.

Rumours come and go. Problems come and go. Troubles come and go. But unhappiness will tend to stick to you if you don't learn to let go.

I understand that many of you are having troubles in band and have a hard time keeping up with your studies as well. Hence, giving homework excuses to make up the lack of dedication in band pop up ubiquitously amongst you all.

True band members don't use such excuses. Perhaps sometimes you do think that way because your family members are giving you headaches as well from constant nagging. However, you must learn and know that BAND is not a distraction from schoolwork. It's a form of personal character development. You're all smart enough to understand what that means.

In any case, to me, I can never let go of band.
I have been in band more than half my life and I'd never let my passion go even though I'm not even in a band right now.

So to everyone - let Band become a Motivation, a Space for your passion and dreams to come true, a Place where you can call your 3rd home.

To Li Hua.
Please do not give up.
No matter what problems you encounter, you must be strong enough to overcome them and I know you can do so. You have all the makings of a leader so don't let be traumatized by situations with teachers and other leaders. A leader will know how to deal with them and also win respect from the members. And know that I'm always here to help if necessary. Do your best.

To the rest of the Sec3s.
Secondary 3 life is an arduous journey to Secondary 4, that's without a doubt. I've been through it and yes, the piles of homework but I have never let my homework problems cross my dreams of having band success in whatever events there are, one of the prominent ones of which was CHEER. Help each other. Support each other. Do your homework together and study together. Don't suffer by yourself in silence or else, hidden hostility might develop unwittingly and make everyone around you unhappy as well. Good luck and help your juniors.

To the 'Wu Bao Tai'.
Although I have never recognized you all as this labelled name, you're still the bunch of Sec1s I have been close to in Band last year. No doubt most of you are outstanding in your sections and band, but likewise, Secondary 2 is after all your streaming year. This is the time to really push yourself to be satisfied with your results at the end of the year, not to mention the practice for SYF next year. Despite any problems within the upper secondary seniors and leaders, please do not think that your seniors are not as highly-strung as you are. They themselves have problems and troubles to solve so sometimes, they might get intolerant of unnecessary behaviour during band hours so mind your manners in certain situations. Have a happy 'childhood'.

To Jacqueline:
You've been through all the band troubles with me since Secondary 3 and I will forget how much you have helped me. With Cheer, with the transition of a new instructor, with Band Investiture etc, with Beatrice as well, the three of us were indestructible. Who knows when there will ever another dream team like us again? =P
Even though we had different approaches towards solving a problem, we compromised. Even though we disagreed with certain ways of solving, we all agreed that was the best way in the end for the band to progress. In other words, we all have one Vision.
Even as we break down in front of each other, we comforted one another and pulled ourselves together. We never failed to see the vision for the Band. Even now, as sometimes we hear discerning rumours, we contact each other to find out. Leaving Zhonghua Band wasn't the end of our Band life. Although I'm not in a band right now, I still feel as much for band as you and Beatrice. I love you! Enjoy JC Life! <3 color="#33cc00">Zhonghua Band a better band than before. Never stop improving. Always look up. And never stop seeing what a band Zhonghua Band can be in the future, positively of course.

I love you all.
<3

Hi.

Just wanna clarify a few things here.

Cheer:

- Attendance
- Committment
- Enthusiasm
- Memorize all 3 cheers by heart
- Proper military discipline
- Formation know-how
- Respect for the band, the seniors, the juniors, the formation, the cheer and yourselves

Yeah that's pretty much.

-afk-

Yo!!! Da Bao here... collect enuf ang paos already??? kk... now, todaes performance was pretty gd, and mr chew commented us too!!! yeah!!! bt we shall nt be too arrogant about it. Anywae, b4 us was unity sec, the songs that they played were familiar to us like sock hop and cny hits 2. luckily we did nt play the same thing or the audience will be bored.

Frankly speaking, wat i lyk about our performance was that our band wasnt juz a band. We were a band hu plays chinese songs quite well and sings just as well. I mean the two other components shudnt be part of the band bt we covered it all well. Anywae, then it was our turn. Played the few same interesting songs, pretty much like the incredibles although it was half way cut off in order to invite mr president S R Nathan. So when he came, we played duke and beyond. Then he left. he shud be quite please and fascinated that we sing. Lolx.

then we also took a foto wif him. toured around the istan. Wasnt wat i expected coz i tot they will show us the whole of it. Ahhhh!!! We are on tv!!! I mean i juz ran to see the president at the istana on the tv. Channel U. Lolx. anywae, ya, then ermm, it was st anthonys after us. they had more viewers then us though. most were aunties. Muz hav been those fans of S R Nathan. Lolx.

Ya, so we packed up and went home. On the bus, er bao and si bao sae the curry puffs and sardine puffs that they supplied are too oily and they wanna vomit. Lolx. kk. Thats all lah, wanna play games. Bye!!!

HI guys ,
ah gong here .happy lunar new year to all , feel that joy blah blah blah....too bad i juz cant feel that this year as much as last year .here to say my new year resolution, i wish that every single band practice will be productive filled with fun , laughter, peace and joy.=) and 1307 will be always together cause its seems to be falling apart.haiyo to sum up all enjoy yourselves la! haha and may ur wish come true.

I beg to differ.
The performance lacked utter enthusiasm and the audience was utterly bored.
I don't know what else to comment but the rest is up to you all whether one day, you will put up a stunning performance.

yo!!! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR'S EVE THE EVE!!!!!! so lame... anywae, tis is da bao here blogging bout todae's performance... first the new yr hits 1. the first song was okay. still veri energetic... bt the second song, i tink although both songs were quite popular among the pupils, i find that it lack enthusiasm. then overall, the performance was gd lah. bt i tink we can do btr like the cca orientation or the music and movement nite. bt at least all of us tried our best and made a well performance out of it.kk. that will be all. see ya after the istana performance. i will be blogging then. bye!!!!

To nia dou and nai ma :

ah gong

I know most of you are busy with school, band, homework, family matters and band.
So the wonderful me has decided to blog again.
I am not at the liberty to blog but for Jacqueline's sake as well, I have decided to divide some of my precious time to do something about this blog.

If possible, could someone do something about the layout?
No offence because I know the current one is something of a trademark of 1307, largely due to the drawing on the left.
Anyway, if anyone has time, just do some tweaks here and there please.

Hui Yan called me earlier this afternoon about 'lao yu sheng' on the 2nd February.
Should I go or not?
My answer to her was 'tentatively yes'.
Oh well we shall see.

I am bored.

Bye.

Yo this is Yi Ching posting here.
Sorry but I don't have the inclination to label myself as Nai Ma for now.

Yesterday was the SSW maiden concert.
Thanks to those who turned up.
=)

Let's see if I can remember all those from Zwinds who came.
Get this, ZWINDS, not Zhband.

Timothy Yeo, Jia Ying, Li Hua, Fiona.
The whole 2618 brothers gang.
Xin Ni, Elaine, Rachel, Pei Jie, Li Shyuan, Yan Ling.

Okay did I miss out anyone?
Please tag to inform me and I will edit this post.

This was my primary school band, taken in the school cafeteria in the old school campus (the door in the background leads to the computer lab 1). The photo shows the entire cohort who took part in the Singapore Youth Festival 2000 Central Judging for Concert Bands (Primary), when I was Primary 5 then and played French Horn. It's pretty obvious where I am in the photo. To those who are blind, I am in the third row, extreme left. To be direct, I'm standing in front of the girl wearing school uniform and partially blocking her on the LEFT. And there is Mr. Aw, who obviously had a different hairstyle back then.

We played set piece The Crossings and choice piece The Last to Defend by David Shaffer.

Our band then was probably one the smallest ones in the entire competition but we did well for a barely-reached-the-minimum-number-of-members-needed band.

Wonder why I posted this up? I'm just feeling nostalgic and seeing that this year is the SYF again for primary schools, I really hope that Poi Ching School Band can break the Bronze medal curse.

Gambatte!

1307 help me cheer them on!

Cheerios!

=)

hi, tis is my first time blogging so a little bad at it. Anywae, todae's banner making dae, we made a real cool banner and nailed the rest of the banner up too. The temptation to cover the ncc's banner was strong, but in the end, we still hung it at the railings whereby the sec 1's can see during morning assembly. Another was hung at the red part of "wall" above the opening of the canteen. Then the other one is outside our band room. The last one muz wait tomorrow see wat mr chew sae lohx. (I think.) Anywae, we had real fun todae. The gals decorated the new banner while the 7 pathetic guys nailed and hung the previous banners all over the scool. No wonder mr chew sae need more guys nxt yr. Coz 7 guys, so pathetic. I think that's all iw anna sae lah. Like nothing else leh. So, BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that blogger doesn't hang up on me, it has reverted back to how it was previously, without the timing and date thing below so please don't be gullible and believe whatever time I posted this, thank you very much.

Anyway.
Happy Boxing Day everyone!
26/12/05 already.
It has been exactly one year since the tsunami tragedy.
Let us all have a minute of silence for the victims from that unfortunate disaster.
-1 minute-

okay done.

One more week before you all return to school too.
Sec2 and 3s already, pretty fast, isn't it?
Then next thing you know, you'd be progressing onto Sec3 and 4, where I'll also be starting Year 1 in University.
Time and tide wait for no man, so do cherish your years with your friends, and persuasively, your teachers.
Oh and your family too.
Soon, you'll be devoting most of your time to schoolwork and outdoor chilling, hence neglecting your family at home.
Ironically, I chill at home but not with my family.
Yes you guessed it, I always chill in front of this box I using to blog this now=)

So, what can I say?
Work hard and play hard.
Don't take your studies and work for granted because they're really important, since MOE is making so many changes to the education system.
Better watch out before you fall behind.

Oh yes.
Please try your best to pull in as many Sec1s as you can, whether they have music/band experience or not. But of course don't force them lah~ It'll just kill their interest and dislike band for their next 4/5 years in the school.
If you're not sure of how to 'attract', please ask Jacqueline for advice.
She has 3 years of experience regarding this matter=)
Worst come to worst, ask me, but it's not really recommended because I'm trying to avoid helping out yeah?
Haha just kidding lah.

Probably come on 7th Jan to help out?
Then later that night, I'm flying to Japan.
Then there'll be tryouts for performing arts the coming Thursday.

This is probably the most important way of handling a Sec1.
Never let them feel neglected.
Don't hang out in your cliques in band.
Help out and talk to them as much as possible to make them feel at home.
Joke, laugh and talk POSITIVELY about band.
BUT.
Never, NEVER insult other CCAs.
NEVER.
If the other CCAs dare to do that, report to the Teachers, Band AND those CCAs'.
It's never good to play underhand, just undermining their character to pull in as many recruits as THEY can because they're desperate.
However, if you do hear Sec1s talking bad about band, do try to clarify with them in a nice way.
=)
Nice band members. Nice band seniors. Nice band practice.
Who wouldn't join yeah?

I hope I'm not just making empty talk here.
Do heed seriously of what I just typed above.

I'll update again when I feel like it.
Will be soon as I won't be updating my current blog any longer.
I'll relink my new blog here.
So just go see see lor.
Haha but I also won't be updating that until 1st January 2006.

Till then~
