hello cellobass!
this is probably the first time a ever posted here. :x
because I'm not really a good-with-words person.
Hehe, to tell the truth I didn't really quite expect so much to happen in just a short two years in rvco.
So i didn't really expect to get into cellobass, to get into syf, all any of the other stuff.
It was definitely very unexpected.
But that's not bad at all. ;D
Getting into rvco cab was the best thing that could happen,
it wouldn't be the same if it was missing a member,
and basically, i just like the way we are.
Even though it's only one year and a few months,
its suddenly seems like so many things have happened.
Before syf and after syf.
Whether we got gwh or not we are still the same people we are.
No other school's cellobass can have the same crazy people we have,
the same instructor, conductor and experience we have.
Well, in simpler words, I just like cellobass for who we are and am quite proud of it.
I pretty much think that nothing can be as unique as we are.
I sorta think that we were like those movie types too. ;D
Like that jap movie where the people were all slack and noob at first,
then after all the scolding and hardship, they become pro and bonded in some way,
with the happy/touching ending in the end.
So, maybe we didn't become that pro....
and this is definitely not the end of cellobass i say.
But i really didnt think things would turn out so well in a way or another,
and get that happy type of feeling at the way things turned out.
I dont think anyone can replace us or feel the same way we felt at all.
And basically, i just treasure this batch of cabians alot.
I dont think the other schools had
a crazy(?) SL, Mandy,
or
a second slightly less crazed senior, RuiXiao.
Nope, I doubt they would actually have such seniors (especially for Mandy's case)
Neither would they have,
a senior dropping bow hairs everytime, Sze nee,
a senior by the name of whom i was introduced as one bowl of rice, yifan,
and
the senior beside me with the grass jelly fetish, lai tiantian.
I seriously don't think any school can have a cellobass like ours, whether in the future, past or present.
I doubt they have,
a junior afraid of people touching, YangQian,
and of course the ultimate crazy, so called, xinyu the greatest. (add the un- infront) ;D
Not to forget our 4 doublebasses either.
All in all, I have to say my lang arts ain't that good , so pardon the weird flow of this thing.
And most importantly,
thank you cellobassians, for being the cellobassians you are.
we cried, we laughed, we ate, we talked, we played, we practiced, and we laughed some more.
And may we find the time to laugh some more together again. ;D
From the person who sat in front of tanxinyu, behind szenee, behind mandy on April the 20th, 9.40+/- am,
nimaijnag
P.S. i may have gotten the time wrongly. D:
P.P.S. Well, thank you mr lee for being our weird, funny, i'm-not-sure-how-to-describe instructor too. Although, like szenee I haven't gone to love you that much either.
P.P.P.S Maybe this shall improve my lang arts. ;D

Mandy.
hello hello :)
SYF's over, and many things have happened.
We would slack whenever we come for cca practices during th Dec hols.
Playing snapjack, daidee, having the longest breaks ever and sometimes even pon-ed it.
The auditions came and went, everyone knew it. but yet, no one seemed to care.
We were worse than slack.
We thought, it's break after 知音.
The new year started, but there was barely any improvement.
We got tired of the SYF songs, and began to play Canon, Libertango, talked, played.
If there wasnt a person called Section Leader,
Cellobass probably wouldnt be what it is today.
The self pracs, the criticism, the encouraging remarks, the serious scoldings,
all were necessary for improvement.
But who started it all?
We just want to say,
that even a hundred years from now,
when we lie on our deathbeds,
we definitely wont forget the times we had in this section.
Making the to-do lest during self prac,
Synchronising our taifeng with others,
Having the circle time to get some serious thinking done.
We spent these last 4 months not for nothing.
But all of these would not be possible without a leader.
We thank you Mandy,
for being the capable SL that you are,
for criticising us when we erred,
for complimenting us when we achieved,fo
r doing all that you think was good for us,
for not giving up on us.
Not everyone or anyone can be an SL,
who organises self practices,
who has circle time with the section,
who gets ready to scold her section, her juniors, her peers, for the better,
yet is the person whom we can trust, can love.
Face it Mandy Lin Zi Qi,
you're the greatest SL we will ever have :)
Even if we could reverse time,
we would want nothing to be changed.
We thank you for being the most wonderful
Section Leader,
Cellist,
Cabbie,
Friend.
Thank You!
Cellobass'09,
Jiamin & Xin Yu.

SYF SYF SYF 09 09 09 09 200409
what else can i say man come on ;D
we did very very well! we dont need 5 people to recognise us if the audience already did.
we really practised very hard altogether, thats the most memorable. coming in on time at bar 4, bar 26 dynamics, bar 51 pai1 zi3, my horrible chinese, our mothers and the flower garden. oh lol dont forget the homework interpretation, bar 47 i give up on my homework! bar 51 i go play merry-go-round.
remember how sad we were when bar 12 to 18 was cut off? remember how we used to think cicada song was horrible, and the dynamics sucks? oh and how we went crazy during the march holidays, the float away story, mosquitoes and the lumxwongxlee relationship.
omg and kinderbueno. and the org***************** whats that music. HAHA
and the horrible taifeng that no one ever wanted to do. the $10 note to make us look up. and leelee wanting us to play overture for no reason.
sidenote, overture composer also composed cicada and good jiangnan. HAH that weirdo music.
and how we would all rush down to eat tea leaf egg. or how our hands would shiver in the co room. philemon and his bang or piack bass drum that makes the ceiling want to fall.
our wonderful mu3 qin1 part that only has 2 long notes. bar 250 the most omg bar ever, now its like a piece of cupcake. HAHA
remember what we did to get this far.
it may not be desirable, but we know that we have done our best!
whats over is over. we this year loan other school first lah, 2 years down the road there will be no more mercy ;D
everytime i hear our recording i feel like crying, so nice.
im sorry if this post doesnt make any sense at all, but i really dunno what to say already.
what else can we say? we all already understand what i want to say. we know what we want next time, theres no need to say anymore.
oh yes there is one more ;D,
i love you all, you have done me proud.
-meow. guess who ;3

hey cellobass, guess what!
yeah, i know, i haven't been posting for god knows how long. in fact, i don't think i posted before...
anyways, back to the topic. there's 2 more days till SYF! i know this period of time has been really tiring for all of us in cellobass cos we have to balance our school stuff with cca commitments and such but i really think that SYF has made us bond even more and has provided us with a valuable experience. who dares to say that you haven't enjoyed even 1 second of the time we have been practising? SYF also made us practise like siao and i think all of us have improved at a speed that can't be achieved otherwise. seriously. just listen to the recording 1 week ago and you'll be able to tell the difference immediately. so cheer! we rock paper and scissors! T.T
so lets heck what the judges think on SYF and perform as usual! but cellos PLEASE get the low B in tune for Song of Cicada cos the last time i heard it it was out of tune. i know some ppl gonna say that i'm acting pro when i can't get my own notes in tune also but i'm trying hard as well. lets all enjoy and be touched by our own music! but i won't be the one crying cos ppl will faint from shock if i do haha :X
this post can't really express what i want to say well cos my language sucks but "i really enjoy and treasure every practice i have with you guys". seeing us improve together and grow closer by every practice has truly been a memory that i'm never gonna forget for life. unwittingly i've also grown to love my cca mates and cello more by each practice AND NO, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU, MR LEE. i think that you're nice but i don't love you. yet.
so we must all believe in ourselves! even if we can't get Gold with Honours for SYF we have already gained unbreakable friendships, improved skills and the CO spirit! WE ARE ALL WINNERS! XD
okay, i should end this now. i'm gonna say something unbelievable but its true. i love you guys. seriously.
ps: i can't go for the outing tmr cos i have to go visit my ahma T.T sorry guys
pps: anyone found mr lee's secondary school picture yet? i can't seem to find it on the web. is it on facebook or smth?
