hey guys!

btw, in case you guys don't know, the official launch item has been cancelled already. I think it's for now though. Maybe when the FOA date is confirmed we would have to perform the item. But i think by that time we would have looked at the scores and practised already. yaye (:

HEADLINES

EVIL GNOME SPOT IN M401
By Bala "IHtestistomorrow" Chandran, CNA

SOME weeks ago, members of the Yang Ching Dah Chee Association were shocked to find an evil gnome sleeping in M401, a practice venue for young budding percussionists.

According to eyewitnesses, the gnome was sleeping behind the timpani, clad in what seemed to be a school uniform.

For privacy purposes, the school logos on the gnome's clothes have been censored.

Despite the gnome's strange appearance and the fact that it was weilding what seemed a weapon (nunchucks with cotton ends), the curious members of the Association were more excited than frightened of the alien being.

"It was just sleeping so serenely," said Ms Wei Shan Lim, "I couldn't help but take a few photos with it for keepsake."

The gnome was left undisturbed until it woke up, only to be stunned by the number of people surrounding it. In panic, it fled the scene and was never to be seen again.

Moral of the story? NEVER SLEEP IN DAZU. :)

KAY... this may seem a little out of point. But seriously, i think this makes sense! (credits to me (: cos i posted it on my blog-.-)

This is what I think:

I think SYF CO CJ is not like NAC- NCMC. We don't compete with anyone. We compete with ourselves. In the end, you don't get GWH not because another school got it, and there's only one GWH place, but because your standard is really not there yet. You are competing with yourself to do better and get what you want to get. What other schools get will not really affect what we will get.

That is why this is called a CENTRAL JUDGING. Not a COMPETITION. SYF is somewhat like a mark to tell ourselves where our standard roughly is. Try not to think of it as competition against other schools, but a performance at its best, only it is graded. It is in a way a stop for all the COs to stay on track (standard). If you had sth higher the last time round, it's a wake up call for you to buck up. To maintain the standard and not let it drop even more.

That is what SYF CO CJ is for.

maybe other people have said this or whatever, but i only thought of SYF in this way a few hours ago while CO blog surfing (: (and watching horror movie at the same time >< -BUT that's besides the point XD)

Hey YQP!

Let's have percussion lunch practice every day after the holidays! As Mrs Ee has said, our playing is not up to standard yet and we really need more practice together.

Also note percussion is having lunch practice with Mrs Ee on 26 March, Thursday. This is COMPULSORY! Remember remember remember.

Meanwhile, good luck to yangqin people with, uh, tuning (: (Heh I understand your pain ok! I need to tune the obstinate/rebellious/menopausal timpani...!)

Okay, I added the countdown timer on the left! LET'S WORK HARD FOR SYF :D 36 days!
