HEY EVERYBODY THERE IS NO CHOIR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!
-FROM CHAIRMAN LINGLI

Hi Choir,

I'm Yunxian =). I'm pretty sure that you guys are somewhat surprised that I'm posting, since I hardly do so. I have much to say, especially since I'm about to leave, and I kind of forgot what I wanted to say during the elections, so I decided to do a post.

Firstly, I want to say that I'm really, really proud to be part of the NH choir, part of the hard work that everyone had placed in to attain that once seemingly elusive Gold. Yes, its true that sometimes I get frustrated with the fact that we seem to be not improving, and also with the fact that sometimes the attitude of you guys' really suck, but it is also true that I love all of you for making me laugh, feel excited, cry, angry and feel the wonderful emotions that I had experienced through my time with all of you.

I've watched the inexperienced us gain experience over the past four years, through countless performances, learned many different lessons along with all of you, through several rounds of scoldings. Every step we took left a mark within me, and I will never forget all the wonderful or bitter times we shared together.

Some of you may say that you first entered Choir for the sake of the air-conditioner, CCA points, or some other weird reason. We might also have scolded all of you having no passion for Choir. However, now I'm very proud of all of you, because you have shown your passion for choir, not through your improvement, but through the fact that you stuck with Choir despite all the up and downs we had.

We may not have the best attitude in the world, neither the best voices, but I believe that
we will grow as years go by. I want to return to NH choir someday after I leave, to see that all of you people have turned into an even better choir, both in attitude and skill.

I've learnt so much in Choir, whether it is to sing properly, to listen, to deal with problems, to be confident or to conduct. To tell the truth, I don't think I will be able to forget Choir for all you guys had done for me, or for all I had done for all of you.

It just dawned on me this morning that I would really leave choir in another one or two months' time, and I would not be able to sing, laugh, perform with all of you or to conduct all of you ever again.

Like all of the other Sec 4s, I know I will miss all of you greatly. I will not forget all of our times together, that I promise. You guys are part of my memory now.

When we leave, I hope you guys will treat the next committee better, and work together to achieve greater heights with our dear Ms Yin. I want to see that when I return one day.

Remember, our SYF Gold is only our first step. Work harder and make us seniors all proud =).

Love,
Yunxian

which is so sad uh...
well, of cos, ppl like zixin, clarine, jinyee, some others and of cos our dear yunxian, can be seen putting in alot of effort.
and of cos, me! :D
HO. :D
yunxian put in most effort! <3

Well, I didn't expect you guys to thank me or what of cos, but, well.
I carried the food up for u guys, yea.
I went down twice somemore okay.
And you all did that to me.
Just becos I went away for a while, you all didn't even save me a grain of rice.
Have you all any idea that I was made to stay back by jlim during recess and lunch?
Have you all any idea I had geog remidial aftersch?
I wanted to eat after remidial, but you guys told me there was food coming, so don't eat.
I listened and didn't eat.
I went away for a while, and came back without anything to eat.
I was so dead hungry.
I haven't eaten for the whole day.
And what you all left was te gravy of the vege.
I still had to clear up your messes.
Why must I return the plates to the aunty?
I don't understand.
I did not eat.
I did not get anything.
I did not want to spoil you day.
So I just took my bag and went home.
You all know I have bad temper, I could have screamed at you all.
But I didn't cos I love you guys.
I don't wish to spoil your day.
I had to ren.
Ren my gastrict.
And had to buy my own food.
I don't know what to say.
I just felt heartbroken.
Maybe I shouldn't have volunteered to help carry the food.
I don't know why was I so enthu.
I don't know why am I doing this when I'm sick, and my condition worsen.
I don't know why am I saying all this.
Haiz.

I suppose you all know who I am.
Bye.

回想往事如烟痛苦辛酸
期望从今万世如愿

贺新年祝新年
新年啊年连年
愿大家都过个太平年

春风它吻上我的脸
春风它吻上了我的脸(A)　
告诉我现在是春天
谁说是春眠不觉晓　
只有那偷懒人儿才高眠( if i'm not wrong this part dun have... but still....)
春风它吻上了我的脸　
告诉我现在是春天
虽然是春光无限好(1)　
只怕那春光老去在眼前(2)
趁着那春色在人间(B)　
起一个清早跟春相见
让春风吹到我身边　
轻轻的吻上我的脸
春风它吻上了我的脸　
告诉我现在是春天
春天里处处花争妍(3)　
别让那花谢一年又一年(4)
别让那花谢一年又一年

A+1+2, A+2+3,B, A+1+4, A+1+4, 3+4

Hello people. Since our choir blog was so dead, I decided to make changes to our blogskin and post. The CCA Extravaganza was great and although it was tiring, I think we all had fun. Please continue to work hard and our efforts will pay off. Enjoy what's left of your weekend!
