Dead Meat
ARGH! Snowballed with homework and tests. Days without music are hard to survive. How I wish CO can resume so that I can satisfy my hunger. Everyday I face are work and O'Level. Today, I screwed up my SS. Lack of practice and energy ba.. I must endure and struggle through this tough time. I am happy that I found my real ambition. I want to be a doctor. Currently just doctor, in JC then choose specifically. I must score in O's cannot afford to drop. At least a 10 for Prelim 1.
Many people haven't reply my PHSACO proposal. Are they really busy or can't be bother? Haiz.. Only got a few reply. Feeling down.
In the Morning, I got a damn good sixth sense. I predicted the NS man to give up his seat for Daniel. During recess, I predicted Mdm Lee will come and spot check for anyone bringing the food to parade square and warned Rahul, Tian Min, Marcus Yatim, Xiao Feng...
The next moment she came and "Chit Chat" HENG..! We were saved. Just now, I told my brother to switch off the computer after a game then I walk off to blog. After a few minutes, he was caught red-handed as he just started his second game. HAHA! Serve U right..
Very sad, can't play wif TM, BL, XF and MZ. So depress.. Maybe go sleep ba.. Tomorrow MTL and E Maths.

Sliver
After much hard work, it paid off. We proved that we get the silver by our skills and passion not by luck. I wish that our own schoolmates can recognise PHSCO effort and give us your support just like what you did for your own CCA and some hot shots. We shall continue to work hard.
I woke up at 5am, not feeling any tension. I prayed not to cough on stage then I prepared my costume...then set off. In the train, many passengers look at me as though I am an alien (dizi=antenna). When I reach WOW room, I saw many reached. Juniors like the three ZhongRuan girls and Jayner give me their token of appreciation. My heart melts although I never show. Suddenly got rain...then a bit worried. During the make up, very messy. ChengSin put foundation on my face like FREE! (Jiang Shi) Janice and Gloria "help" by making me "blush". Thanks!
The lorry is nice but I miss the chance to sit bus for the last time due to Logistics Head. We were a bit messy at the backstage with the instruments. The very short period on stage pass by quickly. Even though I am on the highest platform, I don't know why I never have the nervous feeling. Perhaps my heart is filled with passion?
After the performance, I felt a reluctance to move. I feel that my CO journey with PHSCO has ended so short and not earthshakingly. I managed to councel myself as I can still come back and teach them. Next time, will be GOLDwHONOURS. Be the first to clinch it. I made new friends with a Teck Whye ppl when taking care instruments by myself.
I did not stay with the CO for the results as I got the weird feeling that I may affect their emotion(I'm still very pessimistic). They smsed me the results and I jumoed instantly when I saw silver! I on cloud nines. Although I am not with them but I can feel some crying and some not emotional. Compared to SYF'07, I felt that we did not do our best. We can go further than this.
I planned the PHSACO and made a Logistic Guide. Still working on it. Quite difficult to finish before 'O' Level. Currently, I will do PHSACO first then myself will be a walking guide..HAHA!
天下无不散之宴席。
你们要走的路还长加油吧。
渐渐老去的感觉很恐怖，但不息我对PHSCO的热诚。

上下一心，起立拿金。
I believe we can do it. Xuan Yue has shown improvements and some other sections also started to move. I had worn out my voice, hope that Monday I don't need to shout and request for more movement. All you have to do is to move your body to the flow of the music. Make sure the scenery or the feelings you want to convey is transmitted through your music and expression.
Meanwhile take care of your health and rest well. Currently, I am coughing badly but it will not affect my passion and expectations for myself. I get myself a new hairstyle later on. HaHa! Jia You.

It was quite a meaningful one, is just that I was sadden by some of them. I couldn't feel the passion in them but they need to study for their tests tml so can't blame actually. Hope tml they will be free to practise really hard.
In fact every time they can't play in front of the CO, I was bleeding in the heart. I almost going to cry every time I see them struggling in front of the whole CO. The conductor did not recognise their efforts and constantly reprimand them, resulting despair and reluctance to practise anymore. Today, Jonathan is good and all of them show improvements.
I think maybe they feel inferior but all the more they should practise even harder. They cannot rely on me too much. I know at times my words sounded very proud and arrogant but it was not my real intention. I wanted to trigger you to practise but it seems to fail. Until now, I still never give up on you all. I tried my best to teach whatever I can. I willing to spend extra time and effort to teach but I really pray hard that you all really take it to the heart.
My only hope lands on you all. The Sec4s & 5s only wish to have a silver as a graduating gift. Hope that you all can really give us this hope. We really sacrifice our time and efforts in continuing the CO, we don't wish to let it close down in our hands. I don't wish that everyone regret after the SYF'09. This is our last time and also the last for the Sec 3s, please give whatever you have. Expression, feelings, tune, music and beats give in your very best.. Tml there is a rehearsal on the stage. We planned this is to have you all to familiarise the scenario and please take it as the actual, move your body, play your part loud..
What is there to fear of? We are a team, a family. There is nothing to shame about. SYF'07 is our first time, you know how eager we are? How much sacrifice we made? Do you all want to get a COP? Did you ask yourself "Did I do my best and give all out into the every notes I played?"every time when you are practising? Do you think I am a person who really exaggerate the movement and is a prefectionist? I know I am naggy and demanding, I am sorry for that but I can tell you "I will not regret what I did for this CO!". Even if I die the next day, I will not have much regrets. The only few is that I can't support by parents, see my siblings grow up and the SYF'09 that I miss.

Today, I woke up late. I drank medication yesternight then overslept. I felt so sorry and I have let them down. I slept at Chapel & tio caught by Mr Tan LS..(suai). Our dear friend Kutu. Oops! Daniel fractured his leg so no homeroom system (Hooray!)
During Physics, we learnt about electromagnetic induction, is quite easy currently. Social Studies is about the 6 thinking caps and I was so amazed and shocked that almost two-third of the class never do it and go outside the class. The class is like so empty till I can hear echos somemore it started raining...boo~~
Then we had recess, I ate a BIG bao cos the queue is way too long.. Math we have a worksheet on vectors & I getting more confidence doing it. Chinese we did a comprehension which is tricky & my classmates were puzzled why I got the time to find out the names of all MRT & LRT station (meaningless to them but not me) haha... English we did a summary to prepare us for tml test...
I should sleep early so I have to quickly finish my geo wb and summary.. BB

Today, I woke up at 5.30am so that I can reach CO room by 6.30am. (instructed by Justin.) *Yawn*.. During the two period of maths, I did a worksheet as Mr Hui did not come.(Absent also got HW). For Biology, we were going through the Cell division using a "smart class" software whereby they labelled the spindle fibre and centrioles wrongly. Doing Bio workbook with the whole class. Recess, I ate Malay cuisine which was acceptable and the queue was short. Physic, just two worksheet. Chemistry test, I screwed up my last question. Mother Tongue was about names of MRT and LRT, LRT was like hardly anyone know..so fun and exciting. English was a quick fire comprehension and I scored 8 out of 15..haha.. Then Math remedial on Linear Law, confusing.. Then a self practice in CO room. Life is full of events but I think I should learn to cherish them.

Buck up
There are improvement made maintain it. 胡琴 need more feelings and expression. Only the seniors like Yvonne, Gloria and Pei En got do then most of the juniors never move at all. 弹拨 has improve after Foong Lao Shi came, but the expressions learnt have not been applied except for Janice, Serene and sometimes Justin. 管乐 need more movement and more time in expressing the songs. 打击乐 need more excitement and enthusiasm as you have to bring the whole CO to move.
The music that came out from you must be able to melt yourself first before you can touch others. If you can record your part, listen to it. If it is touching, even if it is played through electronic devices, it can still melt one's heart.
For best melting music here are:
菊花台, 台湾追想曲, 将军令(Jiang Jun Ling), 丰年祭(Feng Nian Ji), 彝族酒歌, 难忘的泼水节(Cheerful Splashing), 飞天(Fei Tian), 春(Spring), 龙年新世纪(All Four).
Interesting:
渐快的凉风(中正中学义顺)
渐快的凉风MFCO(Mayflower Sec)
I am having a serious headache for the time being so I shall not talk more. Sorry. Take care of yourself and not to fall sick during the coming week.

I was disappointed by the fact that Dizis are the weakest in terms of attitude. I felt that most of the efforts of Ms Janice Chua did not pay off. Hereby, I wanted to reprimand myself for not nurturing the Bang Dis well. I failed to be a senior and a CO member. I felt sharp pain in my heart seeing SC not taking advices sincerely. I tried both soft and hard tactics, perhaps a harsher one will help. I do not know when he will settle down and think of the consequences if Dizi really pull down the CO (esp Bang Dis because is the loudest and the highest pitch). The big day is getting nearer but I don't see SC worry about SYF.
These few days, I encountered a few coincidences like sick, ulcer... but I really think that the heart matters. Maybe time can help to change the thinking. The happiest thing I come across today is that SC willing to nod his head(Xpression quite cartoon) but at least he tried. Although quite vulgar as I force him to blow (ulcer hurts) but he still shows quite positive attitude.
What is in his mind? Maybe he himself also couldn't answer.

Shock
Last night, I went to bed very early. When I woke up, it was 5.45am. I browsed through the messages and I came across one by SHI YUN (RARE). I was quite fed up by the low battery and I read this "DAOHAN U SEE THIS REPLY IMMEDIATELY. Pik Huei go send me weird message like if she die would I cry. Go call her home! I very worried now. 10.15pm 6/4/09". Rubbing my eyes and feeling guilty, I pressed down and I saw the message by PH. I was shocked and immediately SMS her. Luckily, she is still kicking alive.
Shi Yun reprimanded me for late reply that caused her to worry and lose 2 hours of sleep. One has to be responsible for his or her action but will be forgiven for the first time.
I felt that it is foolish to take away anyone's life including yours. Firstly, your body does not own by yourself and everyone in this world will make an impact no matter how insignificant it is. Friends and relatives will be devastated and death does not solve any problem but creating more problems. Facing the reality is the only solution, others will recognise the bravery and render aid if approached.
When the heaven closed all doors, he will open one window. Although passing through the window will bring you to groundfloor. (JK)
