Hello people.

So SYF for all Performing Arts group has ended. Hmm. Idk if YSS did well but wth, we got 2 golds!

Choir - Bronze
Band - Bronze
Indian Dance - Gold
Malay Dance - Bronze
Chinese Dance - Bronze
Drama - Gold

quite proud/shocked that our school's D'lite club had gotten a Gold. Well, they got a C.O.P last SYF and yeah. From C.O.P to Gold? ahaha. Real suprising. And.... sadly no silver this year. I thought the Choir could get a silver but Ms Lovy Ng said they're lucky enough to get a Bronze despite the strict judging. (you decide...)

So yeah. That's all for now. Haha.
Goodnight.

Mr Lawrence Tan, a very good instructor who guide us out from our long darkness and achieve BRONZE in syf! ("the 1 moment!"[quoted: Mr Lawrence Tan])


HaFiz (BAND MAJOR) In the Toilet.

He lead the band well in these days, communicate well with everyone, brought YssBand to achieve a higher standard every band practice.


Finally, it's me, Jie Meng (Head Librarian) and Sayidah (Secretary).

hey people! nicola here laaa:D
just wanna say a very big thank you to the seniors. who has been helping me and guiding me. i'm really happy that i'm in this band. i remebered, when i first join yssb, there ain't much friends i knew there. but somehow, now we're like so close. people like saiyidah. she's very nice to me. very friendly. and not forgetting fian and fiiz. they made me laugh out loud most of the time. they make me feel welcome in the band. i'm very touched la. and not forgetting ex-seniors. yiyin is very nice to me too. & everybody. when i first started playing in my section, i didn't know anyone of them. i didn't dare to talk. maybe i'm kinda shy i think. so, overtime, i got closer with them. i'm glad. and also everybody in the band. i've became a better player since i came into this band. georgina has taught me alot. the seniors too. once again, just wanna say THANK YOU TO THE SENIORS!<3 i will never forget all those things you seniors have taught me. and thank you Mr Tan. for every single thing you've taught.

(:

hello hello! so yesterday was the last day for all 4Es, 5Ns and for dyana too. sigh. everything had happened too fast! aha.

lets see if i can rmbr eveything vividly.

Sec1.
idk why i joined band. making music was cool to me, back then. so i pulled dyana with me to join the band. wheee. mstan and mohan (QM) was taking out all the unused instruments. and then sir pointed out the trombone to me. it was the bass trombone then. (black case). when mohan openned the casing, and set up the instrument. I WAS LIKE O________________O cause it was huge and long and weird and all.

sharool was my senior. okay, he wasn't such a great senior cause you know, he is a very quiet person. he taught me the Bb scale. and yeah. that's abt it. then when i joined the main band. sharool was the same. ahahaha. so out of 10 main band prac, i can honestly say i played well in 1 prac. LORL.

i hated band when i was in sec1. i wished i cud've quit. cause band was sooooo tough. oh yeah, i rmbred one time where we all gotta bring home instuments. (*i had no friends back then. only with dyana and agnes.) so me dyana and agnes, planned to play under dyana's block after band prac. HAHA.

sec2

i was a QM! with shahid too. mark and mohan were qm seniors. we were moving the instruments from the container room up to the new store room (current bandroom). yeah. me and mark stayed in the store room, labelling cabinets and writing down no. of instruments, uniform and all. ahha. something cool.


then it was SYF2005. choice piece: dawn of a new day. great piece. JM from eupho was trnsferred to trombon, and sharool back to euhpo. JM was plying 1st trb. ahah. with new instru sommore! haha. he was the best trb in sir's eyes. ahaha. WANEY was playing 2nd and ME 3rd. but all positions wrong when i checked them this yr. ahahha. F sharp, i played position 1. i didn't know wth the sharps and flats were. idk what those alternative positions and all.i cant sustain 8 counts on my tuning note. my embrochure was wrong, and i was playing 3rd trmbne.

competition, we got COP. i cryed like asdfghjkl cause it was my first and i didnt pitch my top F note for the lowerbrass solo in dawn of a new day. gees.


then we chg instructor. eveything was fine la. back to basics nd all. so now u all know how horrible i was when i was in sec1 and 2.

Sec 3. 2006.
fruitful year. i could play 2nd and 3rd trombone. so we practiced hard for competiton in july. i played 3rd for tournai cause i was the only one who could pitch low F hahaha and played 2nd for blueridge. and we got a silver! we won AI ah. ahahhaa. the feeling.. wow. like, first every silver. ahahhaa. really suprising. ahh. first silver in 2006.


oh, my post was uniform master! with shahid still. ahah.


so we continued to soar, and came back with a silver at the yr end trip at KL. it was a memoooorable trip! ahahhaha. i wish i could type everything in detail. oh, i could play 1st too. and i pitch top F. ahahahaha. oh yeah, if not for my senior HAFIZZZZZZ, i guess my trombone section would be dead long ago. hah! =D

oh yeah, band geek keper? ahah.

Sec4.


so im the secretary. hahaa. yes i know, im not the best secretary ever, besides yrs truly: yiyin. haha.
last year. if i knew, since sec1, band was this fun. i shouldn't have skipped so many practices in sec1 and 2. the passion wasn't there yet. heh. SYF year. i played 3rd and 2nd trombone for syf. me and the trombers built a relationship. more close and understanding and all. yeah.

idk what else to say. just too many things which idk how to rephrase it.




A message for dearest hayaaaaaaaaaaati aka kakya.
you're gonna make a drastic chg from 3rd trb, to 1st. cause u cant let the sec1s play 1st ya'noe. and consider yrself lucky cause you know allllll positions and alll the sharps and flats, dynamics and all. hah. when i was in sec2, idk how to clean my instru, use which oil, wth sharps, flats and dynamics were. hope you can raise the sec1 kiddos, just like how you are lah eh. do yr best and yeah. ahhaa. anything just sms. I BET URE GONNA MISS ME AND JM! AHAH NW YOU GOT NO ONE TO TALK TO ON YR LEFT AND RIGHT. AHAHHAHAA. YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE SEC1S PLAYING 2ND AND 3RD AND YOU PLAYING 1ST. AHAHAHHAHA.

ahhahaahaa. omgsh. i wish im still im band. HAHA.
okay thats all lah. long meaningful post. yes? no?

Oh well.
Just wanna tell all the newly-appointed leaders that:

The loser is always part of the problem,
The winner is always part of the answer.

The loser says it may be possible but it is too difficult.
The winner says it may be difficult but it is possible.

The loser says, "This is not my job."
The winner says, "Let me do it for you."

Bear it in mind.
