one and only JHSYC (:

Success isn't given, it's earned.

SYC is over. :) I can't believe this will be the last stage before we step down. Life seems so meaningless now.

Looking back, this few months of hard work was definitely worth it. I started learning zhongsuo during mid year of 2012, and that was probably one of my life changing decisions. Definitely, I didn't regret picking up this instrument. Along the way, I met with obstacles- times when I got stuck at this stage where I couldn't break through. You know the feeling when you feel like you're stuck at the same standard for a long time T.T I really got to thank nanfang for always helping me even though she's gaosuo. Those times when I was so vexed, she'll be there to encourage me. I really enjoyed the times we played combine songs and our jh songs together cause our 默契 is really the best! Next is definitely my dearest siyu! I'm glad I was able to make you love zhongsuo, and to become so close with you throughout this tough journey. When I was really nervous on stage, I would turn to look at you and what goes through in my head is that 'i've siyu beside me so i've to have faith in her, and we'll pull through together.' It really made me calm down a lot! We've really really tried our best! really really really tried our best. All these months, you've diligently came for gebies every thursday. Thank you so so much.. Seeing you working hard makes me feel more assured that all these hard work will pay off on stage! The days when SYC was nearing, we were so scared (yes i know!), and you diligently came to co room at 7.15 in the morning to practice with me (because I was just too worried). I can't stop replaying the syc haizhiyun moments esp bar 3 and 42 in my head.. Those 100 times (or more than that) we practiced was worth it.. And to bryan, I actually have to apologise that I really couldn't help you much throughout this syc journey... esp after you changed to cizhong and disuo.. Most of the time, my focus was on siyu, which was why nanfang had to gebie you most of the time. But still, I've to say, i'm really proud of you too because you've done us proud by playing music worth more than $7000 hahaha i was glad that you could pick up disuo fast and to practice hard for the past month. goodjob! And to eugene, whom i never had to worry for, you've done well too! Months ago (probably around jan and feb?) I could still remember nanfang and I panicking that suonas couldn't make it for syc.. I could still remember both of us having zhaojis many times- nagging at you guys to do more 动作s and to lift up your suonas ninety degrees *cough*... Things like disliking co, attitude problems came out too LOL but but all those were the past! I'm sure all of us loves co 100% now right! I was really glad and touched. super touched. to see all of us working so hard towards the same goal for this entire month.

And also, thanks Gerome, for helping me whenever I met with difficulties in zhongsuo. Thanks for being a role model and a constant motivation to me! I have to say my skills definitely up one level after playing with you in combine! And to Daniel, thanks for constantly coming back for the past few practices, esp that day when you helped us overcome the front part of haizhiyun! I was imagining you counting for us during the syc stage, which was why we could play it out. Then there's also jiayu, who taught us to play with feelings. Even though i think we still didn't meet the standards, but you've definitely taught us a lot. Last but not least, is DLS, who've always been motivating me, and teaching me patiently! He's smile never fails to brighten up my day, and with his presence around, I wasn't as nervous! And definitely, thanks to all the seniors (liying, huimin eileen) for coming back on the last few practices to encourage us! (:

Crying so bad while I was typing this T.T because we've really tried our very best. and with the help of so many people.

everyday throughout this entire month, co room is a place I have to pop by so that i could feel more secured. well, it was worth it. all those sacrifices T.T

Anyway today passed by so fast it felt like a dream. we've all been counting down and waiting for this day, and now that its over, it felt so so weird..

This morning the SHGY gave us a pleasant surprise! All of them came to give us moral support. It felt like all our parents coming to send us off for a battle! Those words and encouragement meant so much to us. I was like gonna cry. but i didn't! anyway, i felt so proud when we lined up all the gy bottles to display it for other yuezus to see! hehe and the messages were really touching and motivating! I was reading it on the bus otw to SCH and I was like T.T thanks to all those who smsed me too! and thanks to lester leanne and jiale for the email, which was funny yet encouraging!

Next, I've to thank the banyun team! This would probably be my last banyun for my term. It was a great experience since we did it without the help of SH (okay maybe brandon helped a bit lol) but anyway, all your sweat was greatly appreciated. I hope your experienced the same sense of accomplishment when we've successfully banyun! If not for us all the instruments wouldn't have been transported safely, so good job guys! Thanks for listening to my orders and being a great saikang crew!

Well lastly, I guess today we did quite well for our syc stage (probably a thousand times better than rehearsal)! Even though while we were playing on the stage, we couldn't feel that it was good, and thats probably because we've been playing that song for the past one year and that we were only listening out for mistakes instead of the good points, but listening to the recording afterwards, all of us realised it wasn't that bad! Esp for zhongsuos, we didn't mao pao at the usual place where we often mao pao! So yeah, good job JHCO! all the months of jixun, gebies and stress was worth it after all!

Now that we're stepping down, i guess its time to let the juniors learn to lead! I have faith in you guys! Start training your juniors ehh (:

Gonnaa be really sad during handover, because i've really bonded so much with the juniors throughout this year-gongyan,chuguo and syc!

And to my comm, thanks for all the hard work. even though we were the unlucky batch who had to do so much work and had less time to bond and play, i think we really became much closer after going through all these hardships together. esp for syc, we even had things like post-it day to encourage the members :) lets count ourselves lucky for being given so much opportunities to learn from :)

And finally before i start mugging for cts (which i haven't started, i'm doomed),

Jiayou DHSCOSH! (:(:

SYF

SYF is about feeling goosebumps on stage when you realise that everyone on stage with you, you are all in it together.

My memories of joining the competition have blurred, but the feeling on stage is not forgotten.

There was this anonymous SMS being circulated the day before our competition in Junior High and there was this line saying that 橘颂 was 'a song of hope for an orchestra of hope' and I remember how much this line struck me. I was thinking about it when we were on the stage and when the first note sounded, I had goosebumps again.

I guess this is what music is about when you feel the emotions within. The music stays with you.

Watching the Juniors perform yesterday, I realise how I can never experience it again, playing music with such a large number of people so whole heartedly.

They all looked so nervous, afraid that they coudn't play well, worrying about our reputation, and suddenly I want to be there all over again with my batchmates and my seniors.

I'm glad I joined the orchestra in Year 1 :)
