hey cellists!

carnagie's drawing nearer and nearer! i bet your excitement is experiencing an increasing acceleration, no? do you want to enjoy yr 4 days in carnagie? if yes, it is time for...

SECTION LUNCHES!!!!!

need i add that section lunches are the best way to get a section truly bonded as a single... section? on one loves chatting better than over sumptuous delicacies and fragrant ~~tea~~ drinks! so, please come and have lunch with yr UTTERLY BELOVED cello section! we'll have them every wednesday lunch, meet at audrey/melissa's classroom (405/406, we're neighbours:D) then we go down to the canteen together. let me explain my rationale for choosing wednesday: tuesday and thursday lunches are reserved for individual sectionals! ;)

so what are individual sectionals? individual sectionals are, like section lunches, a very very convenient and effective way of getting to know your seniors (aka me and whoever else who wants to tagalong) better! i decided that individual sectionals will be much more effective than group ones, cos like what ms tan said today, we realy have a large gap in standards in our section. so,.... here're the list of ppl going for carnagie:

audrey
karo
lois
melissa
peining
rachael
stella
weiyu
yuhe

so we'll have individual sectionals during recess. each recess, one of you shall bring yr cello to somewhere (classroom, maybe) and i will personally give you one on one for areas you need help on for our beloved borodin (alliteration!) :D individual sectionals will start next thursday, i'll confirm which lucky person's going to get that first i.s. on tuesday. till then, adieu, my darlings(:

MEL! (:

hey everyone!
just a few words about the concert!

i must admit that i was a bit worried about it considering what i saw during the fulldress rhsl on tuesday (cough), but it all turned out well! everyone (or most) played a whole lot better than during the rhsl, and i could tell that everyone was really trying their best on stage! quite shocking considering how much concentration we usually put in during normal rhsls, eh? ;) having said that i think it would really be good if we could put that same amount of concentration into every rhsl we have! we seriously need it if we want to be of adequate standard by the time june arrives lah. but wells anyway, good job to all performers! karo, lydia, peining, yuhe, all of you played quite well, i'm proud you're part of the cello section! ^^ don't bother about what mistakes you all made ok, what's done is done. it's over. look ahead! well, of course it could definitely have been alot better as well, but what matters most is that all of you have improved! keep up the good work and i expect to see greater improvements alright? (: rachael did a wonderful job in emceeing too! haha rachael you look quite alot more mature in that dress you wore! yayyyyy! rock on cellists!

WORK HARD AH.

sectionals and other stuffs.

hey. 为了大家，i've decided to blog again! :] yay.....~ lol

muahahaaaaa. kay, now we are going to have lots of sectionals - according to mr. sze. oh wells. it was a damn obvious sign that we, cellos, are practically lousy in playing. i'm sorry to say it so straightforward, but i really think we don;'t sound as good as the past few years' cello batches. we can't even play notes in tune. what are we gonna do??! we seriously gotta start bucking up and practise like siao. don;t care what work/SIA you have, but seriously, cellos, hope that all of us will jiayous. can????! i assume that no one wants to go to NEW YORK playing at our present standard. not to mention we spent quite a sum on this trip. **coughs...** i can already tell melissa and the cello seniors are starting to cough blood already, just listening to our playing. >.<>

wails. tomorrow is Stringed Soliloquy! argh........ me hate MC-ing. never knew it was so difficult lah!!! must have this; must do that etc. oh wells..... :( oh ya! special good luck to peining, karo, yuhe and lydia who are playing during the concert tomorrow! hey hey. me looking forward to listening to everyone's playing. (that is; i'm behind in the stage)

kay kay. just wanted to post a short letter here. byebye! see ya all peeps!

ps: don't all my lovely posts look colourful all the time??! ego-ing here...

love,
rachael :]
