emoemo
sighs everybody's like saying it the end of our co journey, yes true la, but somehow got the feeling that everything, everything that we hold to this co so dearly is ending. which i seriously hope isn't. i mean there'll still be outings and stuff right? people say jc is supposed the best days of your life and i think yea hcco made it so. (my class is sadness, but i can't put it so for some ppl who have indeed a wonderful class and thank God that you do (: )so i'll thank God for sending you peeps to me (: the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. and i don't want it to end even if our performance together as a co has ended. sobbbbb. ):
so in addition to those lil messages i've written for you all, i have MORE messages! haha
to junzhi:
okay no more sl! haha and i won't ignore that comment that you've made! haha it's a compliment leh cannot ignore! and yeah we're HCCOXYZ!!
to jiawei:
thank you (:
to ruihong:
excuse me but it's countdown you spent at my house,not christmas hahaha. and don't worry ruihong, even if i wanted to forget you it'll be hard hahaha. u're like at my class bench area! and yeah you too made an impact on my life (: thanks
to hongfei:
yes i've never ponned a single prac! hahaha okay maybe like 1/2 a prac, that one after blocks2 physics paper 3 hahaha. shopping wins praccing!
to wenqi:
yays wedding!!! can i be the bridesmaid??
and your message makes me feel like crying. like we're actually leaving each other for good and never meeting up ever again! sobbb. i'll <3>

to siheng:
see you darling too hahaha <33
to sutyee:
yes mom!! i'll be less emo! maybe not in this post but YES I'LL BE LESS EMO! (hopefully) haha and you make going out with us sound like a chore!! please don't! cuz i'll continue bugging you if we ever have like gatherings and i'm sure by then u'll still join us, even if there's no more obligations (:
to kaiying:
yummy seafood platter. we'll go for more! i miss liting haha
to kaili:
i was like confused bout the taxi driver. but i think i know what u're talking bout. hahaha.
to yuhao:
(((((: remaining cheery (:
to mao:
last but not the least! haha yes hua ji the starting but NOT nan guo the ending! cuz like i've said, performing as hcco ended, but not our friendship what. haha so u better not forget me this time cuz i'll murder you if you do!! haha and yes i believe compliments hahaha
to juniors:
i hope you guys love the presents we made (:
though might not be the best art work in the world, it contains our heart and strength and uhuh no sweat since we did in mph but hm yeah you get the idea. and please put the picture tgt more often. like oh my put it up in mph! rocks! hahaha
the boxes may be small but it's filled with L-O-V-E!
so love it kay!! cuz i'm lovin' the presents you gave me loads!
we may not miss hcco, like when we no longer know the ppl in hcco a few years from now on, but i'll definitely miss my favourtiest peeps in this hcco in the year 06 and 07. and that's you guys (:
so a few years from here, like wenqi said, when we no longer know the hcco that we used to, things will never be the same. qinggongyan was prolly the last time we'll be so 'zi zai' in each other's presence, with no gu1 ji4 at all. just be yourself. a few years later, it won't be the same, we might feel strange in each other's presence for a while, but i'm sure we'll find the same old, familiar gan jue back soon enough within that same gathering. need some warming up before that eh? and when the warming's up done, we'll enjoy each other's presence as much as we have tonight.
lovin' you guys forever more (:

they say it isn't over until the fat lady sings.
we don't really have a fat lady, but these two days i've been hearing mao sing the gatsby song a lot - i think that's the closest we've got to a flashing neon sign going "MOVE OVER, YOUR TIME IS UP".
and it is.
j2s - we came, we saw, we conquered. but now what? we've done all we can for HCCO. they don't need us anymore. it's time to let go... our CO doesn't need more supervisors or directors or whatever new titles they can think up.
it's hard to relax your grip on something that's so close to your heart. leaving HCCO is like saying goodbye to your parents at your first day at school - except they'll never come back and bring you home. it's like packing your bags and walking out of your home because you don't have money to pay the rent. but sometimes you just have to try to ignore the pain and unclench your fists, before someone else pries your fingers off them.
there are great things in life. there are greater things in life. there are things in life you just have to experience to understand - co is one of them.
but so are many other things.
it's always better to read about what fun we've had and all the things we've done; to reminisce and think about the past instead of the future. it's sad and cruel to blog about moving on instead of holding on to memories. are they mutually exclusive? i don't know.
there are things in life we'll do and compare to HCCO. there are people in life we'll meet and compare to our batchmates. there are times when we'll think, damn, why couldn't i still be in CO?
we've spent 1.5 years waiting for every single prac to end.
now we'll be spending days, weeks, months, wishing they hadn't.
but as much as i don't want to leave, as much as i'm scared that one day HCCO will mean virtually nothing to me, i don't want to be the one left behind.
we're all leaving - we're leaving together. we're one batch, one xyz. a group.
we came - together.
we saw - together.
we conquered - together.
and now we'll be leaving - together. we leave not because we want to, but because we can.
we've given all we can to HCCO. we've done our best and we've done a lot of things we may not be proud of, but we've done ourselves proud.
right now, today, this is who we are.
we've come a long way, and we've still got a long way to go. maybe we won't see each other every day. maybe we won't see each other every week. but every step of the way, there will be people behind us. people who care. people who appreciate us for who we were, who we are, and who we will be. with or without the practices, with or without the late night present piaing, and with or without seeing each other as much as we've gotten used to.
ningfei was right - the sun has risen, the next day has come, our HCCO story is complete.
but another book has just begun.

Jia you!
Gosh! It's just 2 more days to the big day! Though I already left school, but I still feel pretty anxious, like the same way I feel 2 years back! I guess it's quite a mixture of feelings for you guys out there. Everything will seem like a dream after Thursday, and all of which seem like never happened before. The hardwork you put in; the frustration that things just don't sound right; the joy when things starts to fall in place, the fun with all your comrades; the heartwarming feeling when you can feel yourself playing together as an orchestra, working as an orchestra, improving as an orchestra. Probably after this is something that you can't get anywhere else, and you can only be reminded of this feeling through your memory, the common memory you share with the other 80 people up there.
Dear juniors, it's only 2 more days, I urge you to make this chapter a really memorable one. Enjoy the 15 minutes up on stage, enjoy the music you are playing, recall the efforts and sweat you have put in the past few weeks and months, the friendship you have forged. Play from your heart, touch the heart of the audience, tell them the story of the bell, let them see the beautiful scene of spring.
It's really fortunate that I can mo4 mo4 de3 stand at one side, seeing you guys making improvement after improvement and working hard towards your common aim. It's really heartening to see that, especially how bonded you guys have become over the past few months. =)
On 10th May, You definitely will live up the expectations you have set, create a new legend, not for anyone else, but for yourself.
The legend will be yours, Da Di will be yours!
Jia you! *takes out pompom*
Pardon my English and my incoherence. =/
and see ya guys on May 10th!
Loving you guys loads!

hello it's me again (: [kaili says hi, btw]
i'm scared and i'm nervous and i'm excited!!!
mostly scared.
the thing abt it now is that we've all been in really good COs since forever. ny, chs, rv, st nicks, uh i think that's all right? haha. we're all good. i think we are awesome and i think all our sec schools are awesome too.
but then when you're good who do you want to compare yourself against? the schools without 7ji/9ji/dip? the schools with a weak background and a lot of drive?
all of us want to be perfect. we're comparing ourselves against the professionals; with our individual standards it's hard not to.
when can we tell ourselves we're GWH standard?
what IS GWH standard?
given where we are now can you go to SCH and get a GWH and come back happy?
in sec2 we thought we were good and we got silver. and we bitched all the way back on the bus and for the next few months and for the next year.
then in sec4 we realised, in sec2 we were actually pretty shitty.
GWH is a competition against ourselves -
how far do you think we can go?
how far do you want to go?
how far do you have to go before you can come back satisfied?
last week i would have disagreed with shouhao. how can we fight against ourselves if we can't even fight against other schools? but now i'm beginning to think maybe we can. (:
well now we're good, but we're not THAT good. yin zhun and correct gong fa/zhi fa can only take you so far. when we're good enough the flowers will bloom for our da di. when we're good enough the bell in bell song will be visible to you even as you play. when we're good enough everyone will be a part of the song, not playing it. nyco - you know this from feng nian ji. make it come true again.
somewhere out there, our music is waiting to find us...
reach out for it and it will come. <3

last week i would have disagreed with shouhao. how can we fight against ourselves if we can't even fight against other schools? but now i'm beginning to think maybe we can. (:
well now we're good, but we're not THAT good. yin zhun and correct gong fa/zhi fa can only take you so far. when we're good enough the flowers will bloom for our da di. when we're good enough the bell in bell song will be visible to you even as you play. when we're good enough everyone will be a part of the song, not playing it. nyco - you know this from feng nian ji. make it come true again.
somewhere out there, our music is waiting to find us...
reach out for it and it will come. <3

fireworks
This post is dedicated to the j1&2s of 2007 - from someone who left long ago.
Look at the picture.
Ask yourself, if you are something in that photo, what are you?
A firework has to go through a long period of preparation, moulding and perfecting its insides, just for that eventual few seconds of impact, that bright shower that lights up the night.
I guess this is quite an appropriate metaphor for you all - a firework. Imagine yourself as one of the little particles that make up the firework.
Now all of you are on the journey up through the dark sky. You might not know where you will reach and end, you just know that you will "explode" in a shower of brightness "somewhere out there". You might have thought that the long period of preparation is unbearable, however seek comfort in knowing that it will end as a perfect work of art, a burst of light that lights up the night sky.
I have confidence in you to be the firework on 100507 that flies the highest, explodes to be the brightest work of art, and provides the best memories to the people who are there to experience it.
Jiayou!

just wanna say 7 days left.
think the most important thing now is to try to enjoy the music.
sway bounce whatever to the music. who says you can't do all those spastic moves while paying 100% attention to the conductor.
process > results. how cliche.
GWH and showcase! but if we're killing ourselves trying to reach that, spoiling our last few weeks of co prac, then a bit no point.
i wanna enjoy the last few pracs before syf because i know i'll miss all these meng drillings after syf.
and note: meng drill while enjoying it can come together. for all i know, i enjoyed the mad pracs we had in ny before our syf 2 years ago. why not now..
seven days only.
enjoy and appreciate and cherish them.

it's been a very long time since i last set foot on this piece of cyberland.
if my memories still havn't failed me, it was stayover at wen qi's house that i last blogged. And THAT post was a collab between me and bro rh..
this post may well be deemed as an account of my life on labour day 2007. But YET it made me think. Think of hcco. think of xyz. think of the jnrs who hopefully will realise we've reached single digit countdown to 10th may.. comtemplation some may i call it. i dare not claim this term for my streams of consciousness. yes. streams of consciousness would suffice well enough.
-5.30am 1st may 07-
6 and a half hours earlier, I challenged jas to reaching mph for prac the next day. One nap was all it took to ruin my plans for the labour day practice..
Awoke with terrible throbs in the head, and my muscles were aching like mad. i knew something went terribly wrong.. the thermometer read 38.5 deg. I was dumbfounded by the glaring truth on the thermometer. still feeling groggy, i thot it was a trick of light. i went back to sleep. making sure that the alarm is still set to 6.30am..
-6.30am 1st may 07-
The alarm woke me. for a moment i wanted to get off the bed. the next moment all that feeling of discomfort filled every tissue of my body. DAMN. i thot. not now.. the thermometer remained as stubborn as ever.. 38.5 deg. It struck me at that moment-practice for me was out of the picture. Reluctantly, i picked up my hp. made the neccessary calls and msges. I laid back on my bed. What the FREAK went wrong?
wasn't i still jking and crapping the day before?
there was still a handful of xianyue peeps who are waiting for assessment..
what is this.. i'm weak.
-8am 1st may 07-
The headache prevented me from sleeping peacefully, apart from an immense feeling of guilt. A msg which i recieved keep whirring through my head : "i think jun zhi who needs your help most will be like huh?"
~8am - 12pm 1st may 07-
My fever seemed reluctant to subside. I'm super pissed with myself. PRAC'S OVER. and i never showed up at all. I wonder how are the juniors. wonder how the weaker ones (no offence) are doing right now. wonder how junzhi was faring with the solo assessment. the doctor said it's due to fatigue and insufficient rest. i wonder whether the other xianyue peeps are having occasional breaks. wonder what will happen if someone else caught such a illness.
i lay in bed. unable to do anything. literally.
-after 12pm 1st may 07
after countless times of 30 min winks, i gave up trying to sleep. trudging unwittingly off my bed for lunch. I can feel every muscle of my body being pulled by gravity. It was not something nice. The only time i slept was really after lunch. 3 hrs of nap peppered with occassional wakes. I suddenly thought of prac-ing erhu. it's in school. it's 9 days to syf. and i cant even practise on my own, let alone practise with the rest.
actually what is this that we are practising for.. like ningfei said. GwH? top in sg? certainly all these accolades are testiment to our abilities.. but again. what is it that really makes co prac an enjoyable thing? it doesn't matter if sometimes people get pissed with one another, it's precisely this ups and downs in hcco that really bonds (no pun intended) everyone together. zhengyou pmsed, wen qi pmsed, I pmsed too. But at the end of the day, we get to know each other better..
The juniors are bonded within themselves. good. but i gotta say this: it's really pitiful and pathetic if a batch of xyz peeps keep to their own batch. Why are snrs called "snrs". The amount of experience they have to share.. what they have gone thru..
It's enough said.
My hands are tired from this post. And sitting up straight on my chair take hell out of me..
All the best to hcco(xyz)
9 days to syf. all apologies for missing prac today..(and most prob tmr) sobs><

All the best to hcco(xyz)
9 days to syf. all apologies for missing prac today..(and most prob tmr) sobs><
hello all!
it has been a long time since i blogged on this blog. i realli do miss tis blog much..
so fast it has been, since the days of hcco concert huang zhong da lv 2006! time has realli passed. me as a member of hccoxyz 0506, already feel so old. days of practising for concert 06 in the lt3 and the audi, already seem like the good old days when i enter the mph. so many things have changed, people too. the j1s of yesterday who joke around all the time in 06, has become the j2s to shoulder the responsibility of syf 07 .. the j2s of hccoxyz06, have each separated for their own paths..gathered tgther in mph onli because of hcco.now we are j3s, we are called the "seniors" of hcco.. seniors coming back to see our juniors .. n its the same to j4s like junkai, n the other j5s. n mayb, nx sat u might see the j6s?
hah. my blogging skills haf decreased so much, now i dun even noe how to express my tots in words. i stil rmb the time aft the concert where i typed a super long post to conclude my feelings, haha, it has been 1 year! 1 year since i said bye-bye, n i noe, at tt time, tt i wont be going over to see my juniors. i wont be gg over to the block B classrooms n see how they are doing, how are they, how are their practices. cos i haf alr say bye-bye rite? it took 7 months for me to overcome the fear of saying bye-bye, tt i finally stepped again onto hcco grounds. tt was in march 2007 i think, when i finally decided to go down n c the new blood of hcco n hccoxyz.
cos syf 2007 was coming.
i rmb it was a wednesday, aft i quitted my job, n i purposely chose tt day cos the j2s were having their blocks. the mph housed my memories of chsco, but when i entered there were pple that i din noe. i knew they were hcco juniors, but they duno im a hcco senior.
they had a small practice session. i saw what i wanted to, n got what i wanted to know. i left a while after.
to me hcco will forever remain as tt chapter in the book tt me n my batchmates haf created. i was merely flipping the book to a later date n seeing how hcco has become.i was trying to see how the story of hcco 0607 is, or at least trying to know..
aft tt wed i tried my best to go for their sat practices, but wat can i do? onli to go back. the power to change things haf departed, from all of us "seniors", n the chance to do sth as a team, n not as individuals, haf left without a trace. wat are we now? floating individuals. objects tt work according to their own principles n rules, n work towards their choices in life. thruout my life in hcco, although short, i have always tot tt the chance to work as a team is one of the greatest blessings. 80 pple working towards the same goal, 80 pple breathing the same breath, n dreaming the same dream. wat other kind of luxury can replace tis? wat kind of entertainment can giv u the same sense of achievement n elation when the fruits of their labour finally blossomed?
i was thrown up in the SCH gallery. i was shouting "xianyue!" all the way.. n at tt moment, happy as i was, the fight has ended, n the power to change has been transferred. but i din worry, cos there wil be pple who wil use tt power again for the sake of hcco!
there are n wil be times when i wil feel lost n regret, when i see the flag of hcco being risen in any concert halls n its music being played. i wil think back to my times in hcco n hccoxyz, picturing the moments exactly as they were a dozen years ago, n listening once again, to those shouts n cheers, n the times when evebodi was dejected, when the morale was low, but we kept on practising. den i wil think, how great it wil be if im on tt stage now. wif my batchmates of hcco, n playing the same music as hcco is playing now. how great it wil be, to experience the same monotonous routine tt hcco haf in its monday n wed practices, n to go out aft prac for dinner knowing tt the next day is yet another gruelling day of school n tutorials. work half-finished, in class it will be listening to lectures but thinking abt co. yep. it wil be great..
i wonder if 1 year later, aft u graduated from hc, wil u feel the same?
u will be that unknown senior, coming back to mph, seeing the juniors whom u dun recognise, n den thinking back to those past times yet again, except, tt urs is uniquely urs, ur story, will be so different from mine..
9 days left rite? 9 days is not alot frankly. u might think the standard of the co now will be tt of the co onstage on the 10th. but dun forget! until the last sec onstage, each n every one of u haf the power to change. to change wat? the fate of hcco? the results of syf? the chance of getting to the top?... i think, more importantly, u all haf the power, to change ur own story, tt particular chapter in HCCO tt is dedicated to hcco0607.. do u aim for GwH? do u aim to be the top jc co? but wat are these actually? standards set by whom? who said we are the top... jus by clinching 2 consecutive GwH? is hcco all abt syf? or is syf all abt GwH? to me, i think,syf is merely a climax in the story. who can doubt its significance to ani one of us who were from co? but, whether u like it or not, syf 07 will end tt day, will end at tt moment, n evethg will settle down once again, the j2s will leave, n new j1s will come in. b4 u noe it, the nx syf, syf09, comes along... n the process repeats. do u aim for syf07? or do u fight syf07? for something as temporary as tis, i see no value in putting in utmost effort, sweat n blood to it. aft all, so what if we "win"? is winning tt impt? tt temporary glory pasted on each n every one of the 80 faces, the cries of joy resounding in the hall... they will fade, in time they will fade, n all will remain bleak n bare yet again, as though nth has happened. and then.. when u come back ten years down the road... u will feel envious.envious of tt temporary glory, now pasted on ur juniors' face, envious of the shouts and calls which u once had.
if GwH is wat u aim for, den i might as well chuck u into some co tt is better than hcco. some co tt u know haf a better chance of winning. because u wan to win rite? den when the results is announced, n ur co wins, wouldnt u be happy? elated? flushed wif glory, tt I have won the GwH? tt I was part of the team, part of the top jc co in sg? is tt wat it is all abt?
there was tis scene on syf which kept replaying in my mind. i saw some tjco pple crying aft they lost syf. they were crying out loud. why do pple cry? is losing a competition so great a force as to make pple cry? or are they sad tt all their effort put in are washed down the drain? ... then they began to cheer, as one whole big co, some amidst tears. they cheered n cheered, until the whole hall was filled wif their cries n shouts, until all the other co were looking at them, even those tt "won". i was looking at them, n there was sth inside me tt compelled me to respect them. respect this cheer, n respect these pple who had gone onstage proudly wif their co flag...
who can replace u in ur co? who could haf gone thru the same shit as u went in tis 1 year, who could haf acted as ur role in hcco? even if u ponned regularly, even if u were so bo-chap abt hcco all the time, WHO could haf known n felt what u had? WHO could haf ur attitude? WHO could possibly come by and replace u, as part of the team of hcco? whether u r a zhonghu, gaohu, erhu, u haf ur role! it has been a fact since the day u joined, it stil is a fact 9 days to syf. the crucial part is whether pple admit their roles or not, right? cos if they dont, the co is said to be "not bonded". tests n exams, outings n gatherings will be much more impt, n pple will flee from co practices, thinking that if they dun screw up on May 10, evethg will be fine. tis is, of cos, natural to those who fail to see who they are in tis co...
so, wat is all this abt syf, abt winning, abt GwH, abt the top co? does tt mean we shld all slack off n go home n rest until the 10th where we go n perform, jus so to 'participate' in syf? seriously, if u are those who cant wait for all this to end, u might wan to take tis suggestion... aft all, y sweat? i wouldnt blame u if u think like tt...
but for those whom i know, those who call themselves hcco-ians, i would say, go up tt stage proudly, n show the sweat n blood that u all haf put in all these months.. show not to the audience, or to the judges, or even to the seniors of hcco, but show to yourselves, show to ur batchmates, tt you can do it, all of you can, as a team, and as hcco. go up, n make yet another legend of hcco come true... bcos the music played will be urs, the hard work put in will be urs, the memories will be urs...n, the story of hcco0607 will be yours. put tt final fullstop in place on tt stage, n let hcco record yet another history of glory n pride, of which none of us can ever wipe away. and then, when u finally close tt book n leave, pass tt book on to the nx batch of hcco-ians... n rmb, tt nth in it will be temporary, nth in it will be as superficial as "GwH" or "winning", for hcco will stand tall n straight, whether or not u or i leave. syf 07 will and shall end, but hcco will forever remain...
syf is but one competition, hcco is a legend. i hope tis statement shall suffice to summarise alot tt im trying to say..
i hope, in any case, tt my post did not offend anibodi. these are merely tots from a senior, and if any of u dont agree,u can go ahead n delete the post n i wont twitch an eyebrow at all! frankly, this may be the last time i CAN post such messages, since once the current batch of j2s leave, i would know practically nobodi in hccoxyz....n den my post might become "jus-another-stranger"'s post.
tt shld be all tt i can squeeze out now. mm. i haf to rush to pack my stuffs b4 gg in tonite. 10 days later i will be out, but by then alot would haf happened rite? this period shld be all of ur most memorable time, the time of biaing! i hope j1s visit this blog? haha. cos i haf a msg for them:
no matter if u gonna quit aft syf or WATEVER. the fact is right now YOU are one of the 80, others may not be as lucky as YOU who haf gotten in. Look at me, im jus an old donkey squeaking nonsense here, while all u haf to do is to play the wrong note at the wrong bar, or gan pai zi, or watever, to change the whole music produced by ur orchestra! i can shout n cry here until my throat becomes hoarse, but YOU jus nid to attend the practices (whether or not voluntarily), concentrate on every twinny litt mistake tt u make n make sure YOU correct them, and YOU can change alot more than I can! I can act enthu here n try to motivate pple, but YOU jus nid to put in tt effort, show tt u care, n play ur heart out! I am darn useless now, occupying some space in this blog, typing tis stupid long post trying to convey my tots, but YOU jus nid to sit in xiaozu/dazu, n use ur erhu to convey YOUR feelings!
and so, to all hccoxyz07 peeps, recognise the chance tt YOU haf, realise the power that YOU haf, and know, that YOU are part of hcco! to some of u, tis is jus the end of the beginning... but dun forget, (as i said b4), there WERE seniors who were sitting in the same seat as u r sitting right now... and in a way, YOU represent all of us... :)
do i haf sth to say to hccoxyz06? oh yea haf tons. but time is merciless, as proven by my clock in front of me. u all haf much more to say in this blog, seriously, so i shant waste my breath on wat u all alr noe. all the best then!
and on the morning of 11 may, the sun will rise, a new day will begin, and a story will be completed... -winks- :)
to junzhi: i finally abandoned the idea of writing tt book. lets jus say tt wat could haf been written down shld alr haf been written. there was no need for tt book at all... a sorry here, for being too oblivious to alot of stuffs gg on here. i guess u would haf pulled thru fine all alone, right?... aft all, tis is hccoxyz0607....
i look forward to hearing hcco's victory roar on 100507! Shout until i can hear in the fields of tekong!! And then, i will know, that another hcco legend has been completed.... :)

there was tis scene on syf which kept replaying in my mind. i saw some tjco pple crying aft they lost syf. they were crying out loud. why do pple cry? is losing a competition so great a force as to make pple cry? or are they sad tt all their effort put in are washed down the drain? ... then they began to cheer, as one whole big co, some amidst tears. they cheered n cheered, until the whole hall was filled wif their cries n shouts, until all the other co were looking at them, even those tt "won". i was looking at them, n there was sth inside me tt compelled me to respect them. respect this cheer, n respect these pple who had gone onstage proudly wif their co flag...
who can replace u in ur co? who could haf gone thru the same shit as u went in tis 1 year, who could haf acted as ur role in hcco? even if u ponned regularly, even if u were so bo-chap abt hcco all the time, WHO could haf known n felt what u had? WHO could haf ur attitude? WHO could possibly come by and replace u, as part of the team of hcco? whether u r a zhonghu, gaohu, erhu, u haf ur role! it has been a fact since the day u joined, it stil is a fact 9 days to syf. the crucial part is whether pple admit their roles or not, right? cos if they dont, the co is said to be "not bonded". tests n exams, outings n gatherings will be much more impt, n pple will flee from co practices, thinking that if they dun screw up on May 10, evethg will be fine. tis is, of cos, natural to those who fail to see who they are in tis co...
so, wat is all this abt syf, abt winning, abt GwH, abt the top co? does tt mean we shld all slack off n go home n rest until the 10th where we go n perform, jus so to 'participate' in syf? seriously, if u are those who cant wait for all this to end, u might wan to take tis suggestion... aft all, y sweat? i wouldnt blame u if u think like tt...
but for those whom i know, those who call themselves hcco-ians, i would say, go up tt stage proudly, n show the sweat n blood that u all haf put in all these months.. show not to the audience, or to the judges, or even to the seniors of hcco, but show to yourselves, show to ur batchmates, tt you can do it, all of you can, as a team, and as hcco. go up, n make yet another legend of hcco come true... bcos the music played will be urs, the hard work put in will be urs, the memories will be urs...n, the story of hcco0607 will be yours. put tt final fullstop in place on tt stage, n let hcco record yet another history of glory n pride, of which none of us can ever wipe away. and then, when u finally close tt book n leave, pass tt book on to the nx batch of hcco-ians... n rmb, tt nth in it will be temporary, nth in it will be as superficial as "GwH" or "winning", for hcco will stand tall n straight, whether or not u or i leave. syf 07 will and shall end, but hcco will forever remain...
syf is but one competition, hcco is a legend. i hope tis statement shall suffice to summarise alot tt im trying to say..
i hope, in any case, tt my post did not offend anibodi. these are merely tots from a senior, and if any of u dont agree,u can go ahead n delete the post n i wont twitch an eyebrow at all! frankly, this may be the last time i CAN post such messages, since once the current batch of j2s leave, i would know practically nobodi in hccoxyz....n den my post might become "jus-another-stranger"'s post.
tt shld be all tt i can squeeze out now. mm. i haf to rush to pack my stuffs b4 gg in tonite. 10 days later i will be out, but by then alot would haf happened rite? this period shld be all of ur most memorable time, the time of biaing! i hope j1s visit this blog? haha. cos i haf a msg for them:
no matter if u gonna quit aft syf or WATEVER. the fact is right now YOU are one of the 80, others may not be as lucky as YOU who haf gotten in. Look at me, im jus an old donkey squeaking nonsense here, while all u haf to do is to play the wrong note at the wrong bar, or gan pai zi, or watever, to change the whole music produced by ur orchestra! i can shout n cry here until my throat becomes hoarse, but YOU jus nid to attend the practices (whether or not voluntarily), concentrate on every twinny litt mistake tt u make n make sure YOU correct them, and YOU can change alot more than I can! I can act enthu here n try to motivate pple, but YOU jus nid to put in tt effort, show tt u care, n play ur heart out! I am darn useless now, occupying some space in this blog, typing tis stupid long post trying to convey my tots, but YOU jus nid to sit in xiaozu/dazu, n use ur erhu to convey YOUR feelings!
and so, to all hccoxyz07 peeps, recognise the chance tt YOU haf, realise the power that YOU haf, and know, that YOU are part of hcco! to some of u, tis is jus the end of the beginning... but dun forget, (as i said b4), there WERE seniors who were sitting in the same seat as u r sitting right now... and in a way, YOU represent all of us... :)
do i haf sth to say to hccoxyz06? oh yea haf tons. but time is merciless, as proven by my clock in front of me. u all haf much more to say in this blog, seriously, so i shant waste my breath on wat u all alr noe. all the best then!
and on the morning of 11 may, the sun will rise, a new day will begin, and a story will be completed... -winks- :)
to junzhi: i finally abandoned the idea of writing tt book. lets jus say tt wat could haf been written down shld alr haf been written. there was no need for tt book at all... a sorry here, for being too oblivious to alot of stuffs gg on here. i guess u would haf pulled thru fine all alone, right?... aft all, tis is hccoxyz0607....
i look forward to hearing hcco's victory roar on 100507! Shout until i can hear in the fields of tekong!! And then, i will know, that another hcco legend has been completed.... :)

disclaimer: this entry is by sutyee!! not me! except she didn't have an account so i help her put up (: by SUTYEE hor!
here goes:
This is my first time blogging here for all the times in hccoxyz.
I didn’t see the point of posting an entry cos I’ve got nothing to say. But now I do somehow.
SYF is freakingly near. It’s only 12 days away.
And seriously…we are terrible still.
I wonder what effect the practices have on each of us.
Do you reflect, think about it and worry? Do you try to do something about it? Or is it merely another practice that you cant wait to get over and done with?
As a j1, what does syf mean to you? And to my dearest batchmates, what is this syf to you?
To different people, syf holds different level of importance and meaning.
Given more freedom in jc, we can choose what we want to invest our time and energy in.
Hence I believe for each and everyone who chose to join co again in jc, it’s something more than ‘cos I don’t have the skills and experience for other cca so I just join co again lorr’.
If you’ve chosen co, why is it so difficult to put in a little more in this crucial period?
I can understand that it’s difficult to put your heart and soul into something that you’ve not yet grown attached to. But like what ningfei says, ‘just co-operate’.
It all takes time for people to bond, for us to learn the many lessons of a co along the way.
It was the case for many of the j2s too.
For people with the passion, the effort comes very naturally. For people who do not feel the obligation to put in the effort, just try.
I was a little disheartened to see the juniors being so enthu for faculty outing.
It’s good to see this level of enthusiasm if I’m from fac comm.. but it’s not as a co member when it’s only 12 days to syf.
Most of us have been through syf. each and everyone do have certain amount of understanding of an orchestra.
We do know when to be soft when to be loud, the gong fa the zhi fa.
We do understand that we need practice to ensure we remember and perfect them.
We do realize that we need practice to learn from our mistakes and change them.
We do know that we need practice to play in unison.
We do know that we should listen out for each other and not meng play your part to be heard.
We do know that we need to practice to cultivate the chemistry.
But are you willing to put these into action?
It all boils down to one thing- your attitude.
It shows very naturally if you bother. People can sense it if you tried.
As a hcco member, how do we regard our role?
I have to admit I always lived under the notion that hcco is the zai-est jc co around so there’s no worries. But the reality is that: we aren’t the batch of people who clinched the honours.
Putting our past history aside, we are really nothing. We have yet to prove ourselves to be worthy of continuing being the top jc co.
The harsh reality requires us to put in 10 times the amount of effort we put in now to do so.
The harsher reality is that it requires the effort of every single member. No one can slack off cos we are an orchestra. It’s team work X team work.
Ningfei’s words make sense. We shouldn’t look at it as a competition, we should do our best.
The thing is we are FAR from doing our best.
Which is why I feel that it’s a pity because I believe we have the potential and abilities.
Why do we leave spaces for regrets to take place when we could have done something to avoid it in the first place?
In the next 12 days to come, why can’t we just make co our priority? Just like how we’ve done it in our various secondary schools?
If we’ve done our best we should be satisfied with our results.
People say it’s the process that matter. We are learning still…
Jiayou ba..

I have limited time here.. Neways
One half an hour or so and it will be 14 days to syf.
These few days have been a wake up - go school - chiong mph prac CO - go home and sleep - routine for me. During lectures, tutorials, breaks, meetings I was frequently thinking about SYF, sometimes humming the tunes to myself. Crazy I am going to get, but not when I know that I want what I want to achieve. Todays' the 8th consecutive practice for us, I was told by Chen Yang. Tomorrow we are going to have one yet again.
Like shouhao, previously I thought if we were to progress as we were, we would reach the gwh standard by the time we reached syf. What seemed and sounded discouraging and over criticising about our practices (from snrs) became more realistic. Our dynamics, "zheng qi du", and EVEN gongfa was not yet done. Let alone tai feng and other complicated stuff like mo qi. Yet I hear grumbles about practices and see people getting unfocused (laughing talking doing homework) during practices. I must however applaud quite a number who are really worried and practising hard on their own part.
I do not know what would be our final outcome and I do not want to think about it currently. Maybe you are thinking we are already practising very hard now and we are already or almost up to the standard. But the nature of the competition is this: who sow the most seeds who reaps the most benefit. Instead of trying to gauge where we should raise our standards to so that we fit into the gwh category, what we should be working towards is the top. And that means working to our best potential, using every minute of our time have effective practice.
Only 14 days more. What we do in this 14 days will decide what memories we have for CO. For some of us, it may be the last of the 6 years we will be in a Chinese orchestra. I would not want my last year of syf to end with regret. After 10th May, you will have all the time to joke, talk, play, mug wadeva. But for the remaining time let us make sweet memories out of it.
P.S. Finally felt a little better from the flu. The last four days was kinda hellish. Especially on Monday. Take care of your own bodies and dun get ill!!

oh my. totally in love with hccoxyz
and yes wenqi. haha remembered those days. 16 days to syf and we were praccing out jnrs like mad. staying back till like the school closed just to make sure the jnrs prac with tiao yin qi or otherwise us to scream our heads off. haha. oh wells. now it's 16 days to syf and somehow not the same feeling.
i always used to wonder how it will be when like wenqi and me and siheng and kaiying get into hc, with all the weird lil boys from opposite whom we're always suanning; praccing hard for syf together is like how far fetched idea. so amusing. and here i am now. at this far fetched, but already here moment. my goodness. and still amused. haha. and happy to be piahing together with everyone that's in here. nvm how weird they were. or even now. hahaha. whoops.
and no i don't want syf to be my last performance! neither the uh hc arts fest. how ulu pok. it's like not a nice ending. so yeap totally agree with ruihong that we MUST get into showcase!
since i'm not very good with motivational speech, i'll just put in a nice pic with almost the j2s in hahahaah. random but nvm. still nice.
hahahah we look so wonderfully happy!
and hope we can too on 100507
smile! and jiayou!! we can do it!
Hi everyone =) its been a long time since i last blogged.
How r u all feeling? Tired?
16 days to SYF. Are u all excited? Looking forward to it?
Im not going to repeat that we nid to get gwh, will feel disappointed when we didnt... ...
Actually, to me, the results do not really matter. As long as we enjoyed that few mins on the stage...........
HOWEVER,
WE MUST PERFORM AT SYF SHOWCASE! (I WANT!)
So, to ensure that we will perform at syf showcase, we must at least get a gwh. Thus, We must get gwh.
I disagree with zhengyou's "16 days later, i wanna do the victory roar in the concert hall, for the last time"
16 days later, i wanna drink honey everyday to prepare my throat for the champion roar right after SYF showcase.
(time for me to prac erhu till 10, then study for tmr's chem test till 12 and hopefully do the assignments that were to be handed in on mon.)
How about you?

16 days to syf
if you havent read bong's message posted on my blog, pls do so asap.
16 days later, my co life, will end.
maybe it'll be the last time i perform in a chinese orchestra. acty, for most of us snrs, it might be our last chance. But i hope it wun be the last, i dun want my co life to end just liddat.
16 days, we used to have so much time, but now, all we have is 16 days. Its hard to believe that everything is coming to an end so soon. Well, then again, it had been quite a long time already. Its almost time for us snrs to leave CO behind our mind and pursue our future. For this last 16 days of sweat, weariness, agony, anxiety and of coz, music , lets make them the best days of our lives.
16 days, slightly more than 2 weeks. for the past 4 days i had been reaching home at unearthly hours and whenever my dad asked, i realised my ans is all "i had co prac" I tried my best, put in all i got. now i ask you, did you? I have this feeling i may get beaten up by my dad soon, but i still have that urge to chiong to mph right now. i wanna do my part, i dun wanna have any regrets.
Imagine 16 days later u are sitting at SCH, the results were just announced, we din get wad we set out for. and u ask yourself "did i do all i could?", "wad if i put in that lil more effort 16 days ago?"
if theres a time when u should forget everything but co, its now.
16 days later, i wanna do the victory roar in the concert hall, for the last time.
jia you bah.

i guess SYF anniversary came and went unnoticed.
21st april 2005 - NYCO became the 1st ever CO to receive a GWH...
21st april 2007 - just another prac for HCCO.
it's 17? 16? days to syf; i can't really tell anymore and i'm too lazy to check.
NYCOXYZ you may remember this, i dug it out from our blog archives -
16 days to SYF, 2005...
SIXTEEN DAYS TO SYF and i can't believe there are, or is, juniors who don't know whether they are in erhu 1 or 2?!! like WTH?!! actually it's fifteen since it's like 12 plus already. jia you people.
-
i know we can do it. you know we can, too. the thing about practicing is that when we're in dazu it becomes "okay, i will prac this in xiaozu", and when you're in xiaozu it'll be "go home and prac." so basically everything is a "go home and prac" eventually. so... go home and prac. haha.there are things i can't help with, like yinzhun, i can't sit next to you for one hour until you get it right. but someone can, and her name is TIAO YIN QI, she loves you a lot. she'll even sit next to you the whole day just to hear the sound of your erhu.
i'm sleepy.
i am a beetle. an ant has just crawled near me on a path with equation y = x^2. i stopped. now i am moving away... (ok if you didn't take math lecture test you won't get this.)
goodbye goodnight smileeeeeeee :D

Hello all snrs, batchmates and jnrs. Dunno how you all feeling now.. scared? motivated? shitty? calm? optimistic? unconcerned? ill? Yep SYF being 16 days away is a cold hard fact which cannot be emphasized anymore and like bong said, what is even more worrying is the fact that there are still LOTS to be done. Admist all these feelings I really hope that all of us, seniors, batchmates juniors alike, believe and genuinely trust right from the bottom of your heart that we can do it! We can get gwh we can be the top orchestra once again. To those who are dying and feeling sucky(or in which way you name it): Turn your remaining energy to practicing and motivating, encouraging each other to practise. Focus on listening to each other during practise sessions for unity and togetherness is the key to any orchestral piece. To those who have not been working hard enough, do so right NOW. Meanwhile enjoy the process of SYF and keep your spirits high! Lets us do it... together as HCCO.
Yo juniors!
Hmm...Just here to say Jia You!
Although it's merely less than 17 days to go, I'm sure you guys can still go further! So please please please treasure the remaining days to pia, as a whole orchestra. =)
Oh well, I guess I will only get to see you guys on the actual day, so meanwhile you will have my moral support(actually there's nothing else I can give too heh). Jia you and work hard!
Most importantly, enjoy the music, enjoy the last 17days together working for a common goal, and enjoy each other's company! =) And if you want, enjoy Mao! =P (opps, sorry for dragging you in, heh!)
Lots of love(heh!)

P.S. Actually, I thought you guys really have improved quite a lot, which is really a plus point. =)

so strings got gwh.
and i'm seriously scared now... are you?
i don't know what happened to all our pracs, but there're less than 20 days on the clock now. and honestly speaking we're kind of shitty.
in ny it was pia pia pia pia pia and in chinese high for the guys it was probably slack all the way and "omg we're so proud of ourselves for not adding prac" but in hc i'm just confused. i'm torn between both, well actually no i'm still in pia mode but there doesn't seem to be any piaing involved when people don't even turn up, let alone on time.
i like xyz.
but the syf passion and shit has not yet begun to surface in me.
30 days to SYF 2 years ago i was piaing recess pracs and scolding juniors when they were 10 times better than we are now.
20 days to SYF now and i'm writing people's names on labels.
wtf?????????????
i feel like a bailei. BAILEI!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all.. I am not accustomed to writing long blogs altho i have many thoughts... Need to remind you all of the stark reality that SYF rehearsal is just next sunday (22nd April). Please do not waste the chance as the booking of the SCH is ard thousand plus... Money aside, a more pertinent issue would be the chance for us to try out the balancing of the songs and get used playing on the stage. So please spend more time practising the pieces from now. If there is a time to sacrifice your studies for CO, the time would be now. I would regret the time where i have to resort to coercion to get ppl to practise but the false side of me would be unleashed for the good of all..
Jiayou bahs all!!!
Enjoy the process of SYF :)
