What matters is process, the journey towards success or failure.
Take this as a lesson, a comma, not a fullstop. Learn from it and I will always be proud of you guys :)

My dear juniors,
I dont know if you are reading this, or doing anything to keep this blog alive,
but I wanna wish you guys all the best for tomorrow and I'll always be behind you!

You cant imagine how much I miss everyone :(

Please enjoy yourselves tomorrow and dont forget the reason why you guys worked so hard.
It not a simple performance, its something much more, and the reason might be different for each and every one of you. I'm sure you all know the few people you must NEVER EVER DISAPPOINT.

I'm looking foward to hear good news, I'll be cheering for everyone until then! GAMBATTE GAMBATTE GAMBATTE GAMBATTE GAMBATTE.

Oh yeah can you guys post something at least? I'll give you the user and pass if you dont know :|

Hey ahclarinetists.
this will probably be my last post before i handover.
don't worry, it will be short and sweet :D

just wanted you guys to recall 'HOLLYWOOD DREAM' @ UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN.

We were queuing up to get into USJ. after we got in, the first thing we saw was HOLLYWOOD DREAM.
And we decided (FINE I DECIDED) that we ride it.
We queued up for the ride. It was hell long. We were so scared, so excited, so nervous. We couldn't stop talking about it. We watched the people on the ride scream, wave at us, and we couldn't wait to be up there.
Finally, we got to board it.
We were so scared. Some of us wanted to get out of the queue. It scared them all the more to see that the only safety belt was a metal bar. But the rest of us pressed on, and encouraged them. Promised them we'll come out alive. In the end, we all boarded.

The ride started off at a moderate pace.
We reached the bottom of the slope. And we ascended it.
Then, at the peak, we screamed for dear life. Screamed and screamed and screamed.

The dive down scared the crap out of us. We were so freaking scared. Some of us cried and screamed and grabbed the people beside them. Some of us closed their eyes, hoping it would be over. Some of us screamed in adrenaline rush. The sharp bend threw us of edge, we screamed, 'cause we were so afraid of falling off.

Then the rest of the mild bumps were merely fun.

Then the ride comes to the end. Some of us were so exhilarated; we wanted to ride it again.

We departed the place after getting our bags. We watch all the other people worry the shit out of themselves or the ride we overcame.




This is so applicable to AHBAND life. Think about it. I don't wanna explain.
Do your best, enjoy your time here. Don't regret.
I love you guys.

With love,
Xinjie

Dear AHCLARINETISTS,
Today, it will be 17 more days to SYF.

Its our last milestone, at least for the sec4s, now that BAND CAMP '11 is over.

Our last time to shine.

I want to fly. Really, truly, soar with all i'm worth, and not just by
wearing starry socks and pretend i'm flying.

I know we can do it. We just need to focus. And keep our eyes on the prize.

And hold on.

I really want to do this right. I want to be catching air no more.

Let's do it, people. Do it like you know it, do it like you can.

Jiayous awesomes :D

DEAR SECTION.

Sorry for not organizing an outing during the holidays >.< I swear we will have one before O levels ok!

Are you guys ready for SYF'11? Cause its arriving in about 2 or so more months, if you haven't started working hard, now is a good time to start. Just a thing to let you guys know, the auditions weren't meant to let you guys feel "Oh i feel safe cause i passed auditions", or "Shoot i didnt pass so i suck for life :(((".

The auditions were held to show you where you stand between your peers in band and how much effort you actually put in, and also to point out where your mistakes are and how to improve them. So don't feel disheartened if you didnt manage to get in, cause theres always a second chance you guys can take! To be honest I think Mr. Chua was too lenient to us, because I myself dont feel i deserve the mark. In fact, I felt that i should have failed so i could retake the auditions.

Hmm everyone gets nervous sometimes but we cant afford to let that emotion get the better of us during the competition, no?

BRASS WASH SO FUN TODAY

Are we ready? That is the question that YOU have to answer yourself, because each and everyone of us is important and irreplaceable, unique in our own ways, but SIMILAR in the band way. Cant do without any of you...

LETS LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOME PARTEH > BAND CAMP > SYF'11 > HANDOVER


One for all, all for one
Somersad

Sooo...I say...Thank you for the music! The songs I'm singing...
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing! Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty.
What would life be? Without a song, or a dance what are we?
So I say THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, for giving iiiitttt to meeeeee!

Dear ahclarinets!

I havent posted for quite awhile, and exams are REALLY REALLY NEAR. LIKE JUST NOW.

P.S Amaths and SS are killers ok you sec 2s better study hard for them...

Anyway, just to encourage you guys to sprint for the final lap and persevere till the end, then band and sectionals will start again...YAY :(

Haha anyways after the exams we can all think of stuff to do like section outing, buying *cough* farewell presents *cough* for our sec 4s. (any of you here can just sms me what you guys want :D) Um thinking of going east coast to cycle or maybe iceskating. Any of you who dunno how to cycle or iceskate should just drop into a swimming pool and drown ok. But we can teach you guys and its not like any of us are professionals anyway, so ya just think of ideas and stuff you guys wanna do.

BACK TO EXAMS.
Just a quote to encourage you guys.

"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus." --- Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the TELEPHONE.

What it means that to get your results, you gotta focus in order to achieve it, like how a magnifying glass concentrates the sun's light into a point where to can burn stuff. So you guys must act like a magnifying glass, and focus on your studies and BURN YOUR PAPERS MUAHAHA.

Really hope you guys dont end up like me...I studied on my bed and ended up sleeping 2/3 of the times i had notes in my hand. Lesson learnt, never study on a bed or a comfortable mattress. And do drink plenty of water, helps to transport O2 to your brain.

So sec 1s and 2s start their exams on next wed? It has already begun for us sec 3s anyway, so I wanna wish all of us all the best for the coming and ongoing exams. JIAYOU!

Brendan (leaving my name here for once only)

Sec 4s!!! Tell me what you guys want for farewell k i dont know if i must ask blatantly or what...thanks in advance!
