"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
- Poh ZY
this simple sentence just tore right thru me shattering me into zillions of minuscule smithereens
simple how it seems right?
in another 8 days it would be Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging 2009
in that rush of a couple hours
months of practice and hard work
months of blood, sweat and tears
months of xi nu ai le
months of laughter
months of anger
months of sadness
months of frustration
months of sleepless nights
it will be silenced with a very enigmatic full stop

that was what i pictured

the road in CO was full of surprises, shocks, and discoveries
back in sec one
my senoir asked me to join band
but i went to CO cos my parents recommended me
and that time my class had alotta ppl joining as well
i remember that time the first day we went
next day we were already (for me at least) proudly wearing our CO badges
i was like, really proud of the badge
then they were asking us our musical backgrounds
and they gave me priority to choose instrument cos i had violin grd 5
and that time there were so many pro yang qin senoirs
when we went around listening to the diff instruments
the solo that deshun and enqing played was just mesmerising
so obviously i said "yangqin"
haha, then my father was saying, why not choose dizi, yq so big and heavy
dizi very light and play loads of stuff
of even erhu cos i know violin
but yang qin it was
me and wei jie
haha, practice was horrible
3 hrs twice a week, just hitting x 100 times
we totally didnt know what we were doing
cos lao zhou was practicing with the rest dong hai yu ge( best song i heard that time)
then lao zhou just threw us in when we didnt even know any notes on the yangqin
then tong neng and rong chuan was teaching us how to play
next day, which we obviously still cant play anything, lao zhou scolded me like crazy
...holding back those tears was so painful...
so i practiced yangqin like mad
success was bittersweet
like sec 3 then i realised my technique was wrong
but the melodies played were just hypnotising to me
looking around at each CCA maze my batch were like crazy idiots XD
we would shout to the uniform groups saying " (whatever-uniform-group) SUCKS!"
haha
we (most of us anyways) really enthu like mad
aside from all the long and tough practices, my tambo section was just fantastic, dam fun all the way =)
and all the senoirs, lemme salute you
you all have impressed, inspired, imparted me with so much
michael, prahlad, meng tak, deshun, rong chuan, en qing, kenneth, jonathan, joel, lian kai, gary, kai li, vincent plusplusplus so many countless others
and watching SCO perform was quite breathtaking
esp since seeing them perform last sat with ziyang
no matter what happened, CO always seemed to brighten my day
didnt matter that in CRYSI-Z i was the only one not in a uniformed group
didnt matter how many push-ups other ppl could do and i couldnt
didnt matter what stupid things that happened in CO
didnt matter how late practices dragged
didnt matter what other ppl said or thought of CO
CO was something that made my day
and i feel so fortunate to be an exco, having a chance to be a leader
and the last SYF with the guys, tambo and all in 2007
how can i say how sad it was for me when we got a silver?
watching the other school(cant remember) scream and cheer over their gold was totally dampening for me
but our senoirs just went and cheered for us
i think i believed that to be my last SYF



okays, JC road
PAE was high
and judo was all the rage in my OG
mind you, it was fun
i also wouldn't have minded abit of training b4 NS
and estelli was in CO too, yangqin also somemore
i guess ignorance was bliss, totally didnt know about NYCO at all
until like, CNY when i saw CO perform
haha, til then still no intention of joining CO
then came along Tan Jun Xi
haha, history is quite wrecked with him
always hitting me in mshs
and here he came, crashing, appealing, and overall bringing me back to CO
initially another reason why didnt wanna join CO cos i thought they had too many yangqin players, why come and be extra?
first time, went for J1 meeting, or something
filled in particulars form etc etc
then met zhiyun, who was already like, in charge of so many things XD
when they asked soemone to be in charge of tambo, she immediately kena to be temporary SL
after that got along wuite well with her, cos everything also help her since everyone else boh chap
haha, then orientation was spastic XD
elections was worse XP
sit in one circle, intro, vote, full stop
first time i saw ziyang and jun yuan i thought they were retainees
(o crap, now they really are, so sry!)
and of course i propeled into CO/ Judo life
judo- mon and thur training, wed gym
CO - wed sectional and combined
having 2 ccas was no joke
i mustve been insane to think i could handle it along with 4H2 combi
totally didnt study at all, failed most tests and doddled in class
as much as i tried to do work, didnt have much motivation and was quite tired out by 2 ccas
synergy 08 was loads of fun
met jingyu and huiquan
first performance in NYCO
didnt get to know much of the senoirs cos they pretty much left after the J1s came in
not much of the senoirs stayed to help perform in synergy
then afterwards was totally us J1s only
but it was great fun
along with the troubles, messes, problems all around
had gd time
and i quit CO cos having 2 ccas was driving me crazy
and decided CO then
after some performance at marine parade CC went to Daji
it was quite a wreck that time
only had like, ziyang and rarely seen poh yih
ryna and shirley...best not to mention
and pei ling, jing hui and wei qi change from daji to zhong ruan cos we really lacked zhongruan
teaching them thoery was nostalgic cos thats all that i could do for my tambo junoirs in MSHS also XD
was it was worthwhile for me
and getting their timings and beats right was enriching XD
and going for both tambo and daji sectionals was tiring also XP
so most of the time it was me and ziyang
and wu lao shi came along, trying to help my dead left hand...
up til 2day, as much as ive tried, it still remains half dead...
but it was fun, as little ppl as we had
wearing the CO shirt was simply my pride once again, just like my MSCO badge
discovered the existance of eason XD beofre i only knew jia xin
and jlau joined CO, making us crap a whole LOT XD
and eating out late on every other night
and going to junxi's house and etc
and worrying for alvin and zhiyun and ziyang being retained
performing with PRSSCO was quite unique
esp when they have someone like wang zhuang XD
tribal beat was exciting
and having the alumnis and dsas zihui and alina perform with us at esplanade
and going back to music room to play and clean up
and celebrating junxi's birthday and new year's
and alotta soul searching

this year 2009
can i say it was an imperfect start?
immersion, open house, orientation, cca bazaar
block test
college day
and after 4 months of working 2gether it will all end in t-minus 8 days
a couple o mishaps
a couple o malfunctions
a couple o misfortunes
and here we all are
aiming for GWH?
dance got silver
guzheng got their gold
but would i be happy with gold?
with each practice and extras, can we make it?
as much as i scream YES inside and practice like mad
im feeling depressed...
yeah, depressed...
"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
it set my thinking train alight and running
is there time to make things right?
"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
will everyone thats working hard taste sweet success?
"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
are we ready and prepared for 6th May?
"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
will it be all worthwhile and unforgettable or full of remorse and regret?
"it's gonna be the last time for you to be in CO"
sigh..................................



thank you yijia for your messages
thank you daji, you guys really rock
thank you senoirs for coming to help us
thank you miss tan for so much
thank you everyone for working so hard

i heard recently that
things are not important
and will never remain
the journey
the troubles
the hardships
the tears
the joy
the friendship
the process
the learning
the growing
is all that is worthwhile of the road
and all that is gd about life

i hope that i can accept the outcome no matter what it is
and use it to continue growing and going down the road

current mood: depressed
current song: Go The Distance

"external cost leh"
- Pow Poh Yih
haha, econs class this year is waaaay better than last year XD
practice ytd was quite productive
poh yih didnt come cos he was sick XD mightve caused external costs XD
aircon broke down everyone went to atrium to practice while daji stayed in music room

totally blown away by the SSO concert ziyang and i watched last night...phew
absolutely speechless...
seriously breathless after the first song that was 29 mins
compared to SCO which ive watched a couple times, SSO really just knocked me down im telling you
92.4 better watch out, your tickets are history XD
and btw, s'pore has no night life XP

thurs(friday) was...mixed? haha
choukball was fun =)
bobby really took home the star player award XD was drinking milk then his classmate passed him the ball XD
GP presentations really ohmytian lor...
still haven finished mine XP
did i mention it was Poh Yih's birthday? Happy 18th Birthday =)
econs lesson was quite gd and interesting =)
reminds me of Mr Low in sec 4
he just came in and psycho-ed me into liking and wanting to score for social studies which i never passed in sec 3
ms foo mightve tried harder but still, ss takes the cake
ss about A2 and geog still D7, averaged to B4
but still proves i cant do humans...zzz
but still, with Mr Bong and my renewed interest in econs, plus a more condusive class (eh hem XD) my H1 econs is aiming for at least a C
hopefully my H2s all get A =)
and gp...C maybe? please dont give me a S! (thousand curses to that quiz on facebook for saying i'd get S for GP!!)
then i got back PW results
the first thing that we got was a scolding from Mr Low that our PW results were not very gd...
after months of
drafting
research
sleepless nights
discussion
arguments
stress
conflicts
putting up with "certain" people
being pw rep
mental blocks
the result was regretful...
60% of the school got an A
and my group clearly wasnt one of the 60%...
was it the clear image that the 5 of us just couldnt click? (duh)
tennis gal, jap-fanatic, brawn james, social misfit and rockstar just couldnt cut it...
the process was bitter, bitter, and bitter all the way
surely chances that the result would be sweet were high?
working 2gether just didnt work out
the result just wasnt acceptable...
喜怒哀乐- only 50% was experienced, guess which 50%?
to the J1s that think PW is fun, you aint seen nothing yet XP
had a long reflection period with Mr Low during his lesson later...
he'll definitely be someone i'll keep coming back to NY to see =)
o wells, thing about jing yu is that she may be broken but she just keeps going
everyone's gotta keep going down no matter what comes our way!

24 days to SYF!
everyone, we've gotta give our best!
jiayou to choir and dance having their SYF this week!

current music: Eh, Eh - Lady Gaga
current mood: wiped out...but gonna keep running
