HCCO XYZ

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..
