Um, actually I am quite nervous here…

My name is Jun Wei, Vice-President of MSHSCO in 2006/2007. My batch went through our first public performance in 2004, SYF in 2005, second public performance in 2006 and SYF in 2007. It was very hectic but we enjoyed every moment of learning something new.

Anyway, being an EXCO was really a tough job for my batch in 2006.2007, in fact, one of the toughest one can consider. And later on, Melvin took the baton and now you guys are continuing the legacy.

It takes time to be mature and sensible enough to understand and appreciate the true meaning “What should I really do? And what should I not do?”

I was well known for being “naggy” simply because I was trying to convey something that none could understand. Although every one eventually understood that I was trying to tell them what we should really be doing by the time it was already too late.

A moment of ego, I became a VP in 2006. A moment of pressure, I wanted to give up. A moment of determination, I pressed on. And I eventually realized the true meaning of achievement.

It is your attitude, not your amplitude, which determines your altitude.

Your attitude towards the things that you do determines how high you can climb. I really hope that you all are working hard both individually and together as a group. And I am so glad to hear from CY that the school has been very supportive towards MSHSCO. So, please take this opportunity to show the school and prove to them that MSHSCO has always been working hard. And also, show the judges that you all deserve the Gold Medal.

Do not achieve something blindly. And “all talk no action” is as good as being an empty vessel making the most noise.

You want it? Then don’t say it…

Show that you deserve it.

And it will definitely be yours.

Because, no pain…

No gain…

Hey guys Chew Bing Hong Signing in again.

Sorry for the late posting. I was already dead tired for the past few days.

Alright here i go. Tuesday's practice was good. Everything's coming into place. Im really grateful that mr yang could come on tuesday night to settle the suona problem. Kenjyi, Jiejun and Qi Hui, this goes to you. Thank you for putting in some effort. I know it's not your fault that you've been playing like shit for the past like 1000 years but now that it's settled, please continue to strive. I have faith in the three of you.

Thursday's practice was a bomb. The only thing left to do is to INJECT SOME COURAGE HORMONES INTO MOSES! AND SOME WRIST POWER OR SOME SORT. ONCE YOU"RE UP AND READY, WE CAN GO STEADY LIAO! Oh ya and of course Qu Di peeps are not really in tune anyway. Work on these. We're getting better and better. Haha it's funny to think that MSCO is always at their best when it's so near to the competition, but who the hell cares? As long as you're good, HAHA we clinch Mr.Goldy and we're back home cheering our hearts out.

Yeah we know we haven't been good but we're already trying to make this SYF as perfect as possible. Sorry for being like an idiot who does nothing but try to increase the number of practices, but im just trying to do everything i can with my power.

You guys can do it man. It's everything or nothing now. i don care what you do to prepare, but.. Yeah the heats on. We're gonna see whether any other teams would be getting their GOLD with RGS. And of course, with us.

Hey all!! Im more of a writing/typing person than a verbal one... so...

Congratulations!!! Haha today's practice was really a fruitful one! The songs that we played are no longer what i called "funeral songs" but lively!! Haha really starting to feel that each and every one of us is making that effort for this co. The practice after the break was exeptionall well done! Dont know if its because Mr Chew said "if its done well, i will let you all go early" or that the suona people are back in FULL POWER!!!

They totally amazed me, the suona peeps. Thank you for your hard work! You all rock my socks! Dont know if its the teacher is good, or as jie jun said, "is because we are talented" LOL! Anyway keep up the good work! Other than the suona people, I was blown off by some of the members from other sections too! A few members that i thought would not do so well, improved dramatically. I took notice of that and asked your senior to praise you all. But the praises are definitely real! Overall, the whole co is moving towards... THE GOAL IN OUR HEART!

Here are things members are to take note:

  • please try to smile more during performances. Some of you, when playing, your face look so gloomy! Like you feel like killing someone!
  • when i wrote the announcement, i meant close your mouth during performance. Not shut up, althought its also good for you to shut up. Especially the xian yue people, from my view almost everyone of you have your mouth wide open while waiting for your turn to play in the music.
  • Enjoy the music. FUSE WITH IT!! Hehehe :P

I am starting to fall in love with this CO once again!! We make a big family that every individual is important to us! Love you all!

Hi CHew Bing Hong here. 2nd post...

Guys this is it. 9 days more. It's take it or beat it. I really pray that god will see us through this competition. We really can get gold this time. Suona section, it's all up to you. Once you're up and ready, we're all getting our well-deserved Gold. Seriously. Lao Zhou's getting down another suona teacher for you all on tuesday so PLEASE PLEASE, it's our last resort. I know it's abit too late, but if it will help, we will pay any price for you 3 to improve. I hope you all can work hard just for this very very last week.

Same goes to the rest of you. All we are left with is the harmony of all the sections. Yesterday, in the morning, it was really good. I was quite touched by the song. The suona wasn't that bad in the morning. everything came out right, except for abit of yin zhun problem. Take every practice seriously. it's our last few days as a whole CO before me and the rest of the sec4s leave.

Make a mark on the "TOP SECONDARY COs" list MSCO! We can bring change to how people see us. Their opinions don't matter. It's all up to us, MSCO 2009.

GO FOR IT!
