to my beloved section,

like I said in my letters,
my love for you all is as broad as the sky.
All of you have really, really put in your 300%, and guess what, we really did our best, I could hear it on stage.
and OMG vania said exactly what I felt.
I truly understood what "the award doesn't matter" means.
I mean, so what if we got double silver?
So what if the school/other bands/other people are going to label us as a mere "silver band".
I know I sound a bit harsh, sorry.
But if you look at the big picture,
what does it matter? So my point is, awards are like this misleading thing that have made us all so obsessed over them, but it isn't necessary at all.
Isn't music supposed to be personal?

Think about it-
many people have been obsessed with perfection (I admit I'm a perfectionist, those who know me well should understand) in music, the details must be there and if I don't perform up to my standards, I will become really pissed at myself and sink into some state of depression.
But I asked myself, what is the main purpose of music?
Isn't music supposed to entertain,
to relate to people,
to bring smiles to people's faces,
to make them feel good,
to touch people's hearts,
to convey a certain message,
to foster relationships?
so my main point is,
music need not to be perfect in order for it to achieve its purpose. good music need not be perfect.
ABSTRACT YO. THINK ABOUT IT :)

During SYF 2009, I was really disappointed, because I wanted that Gold or GWH, and I wasn't content with that silver, I thought how unfair it was, and from that day onwards, I told myself, during SYF 2011, we must get that GWH. Now I look back and remember that thought, and I realise how stupid I've been.

Compare the significance of the award with the SYF experience.
We have grown so much. We have become much stronger and bonded as a section, after we have all put in our 300% together. I think the senior-junior relationships are much, much stronger now, we can talk about almost anything with each other comfortably.
And not forgetting character development. Last night I dreamt that after SYF, I climbed one huge step up a really big staircase and I looked down at the world below, then I felt a gush of wind (imaginary of course) that passed through me, and I thought to myself, is that what it feels like to gain enlightenment HAHA.
what a funny dream indeed.

Last night, I cried, not because I felt the unfairness of getting a silver for SYF just like how I felt in 2009.
I cried,
because I knew that as a Sec 4 I would soon miss out the essence of passion and bondedness in NYCB's music. It's like, my heart is in this numb state now and I wanted more of NYCB's music.
I knew that soon I won't get to experience that kind of feeling anymore.
I knew that I would be leaving this wonderful trumpets section soon.
I knew that this was going to be my last SYF ever.

Thank you everyone for being a part of this wonderful journey.
I'll treasure it for life.
<3 xin yi

DAY 12/4/11

2011-04-12T21:16:00.004+08:00

LETTER TO YOU FROM DAY 11/4/11

HELLO CATS,

I want to say I love you all to the max k

I think we really did very well, I don't know why we got silver

haha

as Jia yi said, I'll hold my head up high because I really don't mind telling people

we got a silver

it doesn't matter

because other people dont know what WE went through

they won't know since they are not in OUR band

we have lots of passion and not everyone out there can be like that,

it's this nycb character thing

so I think everyone should be happy with what we have achieved so far,

because what we achieved is not just that award

but throughout the journey

you made lots of discoveries

how the journey made you stronger as a whole

all the good and bad times we had together

and to me, somehow ytd's syf really make me understand

what "results doesn't matter" truly is

because as I sort out my thoughts,

I make it a point to reward myself by reminding myself that I've give in my maximum

and if you did, you should too

throughout this whole journey I have put in as much effort as i can

that thr's no more space left to push myself further

and that's when i know, i've really tried my best and that the results don't matter anymore

because we did it

IT WAS THE BEST WE EVER PLAYED

I STILL REMEMBER HOW IT RANG IN MY EARS

it was so grand and beautiful like no other

I rmb how ppl cried before we go up on stage,

in the prep room and while waiting to go UP on stage

I remember saying to someone that

I was really afraid my juniors don't enjoy band

because then, everything won't make sense anymore

and what I'm doing, all the hard work we've all put in

have no point because what no one's gonna care how they do for SYF

but I realise that you all enjoyed what you are doing

how we laughed at KAP

showed me that it was okay

and everyone truly enjoyed themselves

then it doesn't matter what we get

because as long as we love what we are doing

even if we got no award,

it already made a point by itself.

and i love it that some ppl asked if we're having lunch prac tmr

i love the spirit! that's how we do it yea!

the passion lives on (:

we are the best everyone!

<3 VANIA

SYF's over.

2011-04-12T00:20:00.002+08:00

hey awesome cats ♥
SYF's finally over.
we did really very well today, i think we played the BEST we ever played.
yes i'm so proud of all of you CATS! ♥

thank you CATS! for the journey to this day (:
thank you for always coming for lunch pracs and after school pracs so i won't be alone (:
thank you for all the section talks, dinners, outings ♥
thank you for all the band pracs that make me so happy :D
thank you for whatever we have done, for this SYF today.

results don't matter.
the school might be angry/disappointed at us, but what matters is the process that we went through,
and only NYCB will feel it.
i love nycb to the core.
yes i'm so proud to be part of this
if anyone asks us about SYF, i will hold my head high and say we got silver/
it doesn't matter anymore :D
cos we know we have done our best.

i can't say much, but
THANK YOU CATS! ♥ ~
you are the most wonderful section ever.

love, JIAYI

threehundredpercent l trumpets have infinite potential - day 7

2011-04-10T03:21:00.002+08:00

i'm here again.
Im thinking of SYF

and our section and I can't sleep despite the fact that my eyes are killing me

I wonder why the rest still havent posted despite us reviving the blog happily here

where did the powerful effort we talked about go, people?

I am nervous about SYF now.

I just said ytd morning that I am not nervous I am excited

things haven changed within a day's time

and i have butterflies in my stomach now

and I'm awake alone ):

section section you must do your best okay

my whole heart is for you, with you

I hope you remember all the stuff we went through

for this big day that's coming really soon

I wonder what each of you are thinking of right now

each of you.

Is it just me feeling nervous? Am I thinking too much? Is the rest of my section okay?

Forever worrying until the day comes I suppose

oho i sound like im marrying my daughter off or sth

but the point is that we must do well on monday despite all the norvousness and blah

that we are having now

I think everyone's starting to feel the urgency, I see facebook full of band post

nycb you're so awesome i can't believe it. i'm so proud to be part of nycb ♥

SYF IS TMR ITS TMR. NYCB we've come so far, im proud of everyonee and i loveee all of you ♥ rest well we will do awesome tmr! :D

SO EXCITEDDDDD AHHHH I'M GETTING RESTLESS

IT'S TOMORROW IT'S TOMORROW KDJFKLXJFKLDJFKL

i love our band till the ends of the earth ♥

‎"The next band I am looking forward to is Saint Andrews and Nanyang Girls. Hope the two bands will be able to achieve good results!" AHHHH THE PRESSURE

and many more...

I LOVE NYCB, I LOVE YOU TRUMPETS.

VANIA.

one.

2011-04-10T00:04:00.002+08:00

okay I wonder if the section reads the blog cause it's only the three of us that post lehhh
anyway.
last prac ended.
mixed feelings now.
and now it's like sunday already.
one more day.

anyway, I just wanna say
WE HAVE COME SO FAR AS A SECTION
and yes, we have all worked hard together,
so don't worry so much.
because we have done it before. Remember how successful friday's prac has been?
and likewise, I have never regretted joining NYCB and joining trumpets.
though I have faced quite a number of difficulties and personal problems,
NYCB made me a stronger person, a more determined person
NYCB taught me never to give up
NYCB taught me what it is like to discover your passion and to pursue it
NYCB showed me the beauty of music
and NYCB showed me how important teamwork is.

ahhhhh I'm already missing everything.
the times when we stand outside the band room and play,
and more and more people will join in.
the times when we go to our "special corner" to practice after band
our section talks,
our section outings,
the vitamin c (and how I burped when I was playing the climax in Flight omg
SO ANTI CLIMAX and gross)
the audi pracs,
the expression classes
the photos,
everything.

JIAYOU CATS we will put up a professional performance tomorrow!!!
&of course, we'll melt everyone's hearts with NYCB's passion
and make ms chong cry:)

xoxo XY

ZERO PRACS LEFT

2011-04-09T22:31:00.002+08:00

hey cats!
TODAY WAS THE LAST PRAC BEFORE SYF, BUT I THINK WE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.

yes we have TWO MORE DAYS to our BIG DAY ON MONDAY! ♥
time flies so fast.
but i know we have all improved :D
seeing at least half of our section coming for lunch pracs and staying back after band makes me feel really happy :D
i can really feel the band spirit.

yesterday and today's prac
ms chong said we sound good :D
i think we are really reaching for our GWH as a band, which is a great improvement for nycb ♥
but still, put in more feelings!
remember what the seniors and mschong and tutors tell us
and on monday,
we'll present our best performance to everyone.

i'm so proud to be part of NYCB, and part of CATS ♥
i have never regretted joining band and trumpets :D
because we're just too awesome.

so on 11th April 2011,
just put in our 300% and move the audience
we will do it.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND~

love, JIAYI

FOUR MORE DAYS

2011-04-07T23:04:00.004+08:00

hello CATS! :D
yes i promised a post in our blog (:
(i'm sorry this is actually my first time posting haha)

anyway, FOUR MORE DAYS!
and TWO MORE PRACS!

i think today's prac sounded nicer in general, like maybe cos its after blocks?
hope you all did well for blocks :D
but i feel the details are still not there. yet.
like bar 30 (ohmy this bar is mentioned many times today). like the notes are there but the feelings are not? and sometimes we can play quite well for that part but sometimes we just sound horrible

i feel our band's playing is inconsistent ):
like how different pracs for the same week can sound totally different.
we need to put in more feelings :D in our playing so we can move the audience and get our GWH

actually i think we're somewhere there already
just a bit more
hang there for four more days (:
and most importantly, BELIEVE.
believe that we can do it <3
because we're NYCB
nothing you can beat.

SYF results so far were quite scary /:
its like one GWH or gold for each day ):
and the first 2 performing arts in our school are GWH
AND WE ARE THE THIRD GROUP
but i really believe we will be the third performing arts to get GOLDWITHHONOURS <3

jiayou everyone!
i still feel the lunch prac attendance was horrible these few weeks
its like only the few of us ):
and every prac its the same few people
but i really enjoy how we always stand in a circle and play together
(:
haha i always feel super happy when i go back to class cos we played in a circle during lunch prac (:
and i think thats where the feelings will come out the most
we should do this more often :D

okay i think i have finished what i want to say :D
let's JIAYOU for SYF!
its going to be the last syf for the sec 3s and 4s
so we'll make it a gold with honours syf.

believe.
because we know we will get what we want.

4. MORE. DAYS.
WE. CAN. DO. IT. CATS!!!!!

HI PEOPLEEEEE :D

yes juniors thank you so much for the collar pinssss <3 yall are so sweet ahhhhh I can't thank you enough!

okay we have 2 more band pracs left.
sigh.
now that block tests are FINALLY OVER,
please 提起精神 and focus more during band. there's no excuse for looking so dead during band and ms chong have to remind us to "smile more".
be more lively and expressive in your playing,
and at the same time,
don't forget all the technical stuff that ms chong and mr lun told us.

ms chong said "a few days can make a lot of difference". I remember this sentence too,
and I actually believe in it.
you know what our section is weak in (and you should know by now),
you know what we need to work on,
so WORK ON THEM. play together/in small groups if you must, during free time.

like what vania said,
our bar 30 and beginning of flyer is rather inconsistent and we tend to rush.
the only way to make it consistent and ensure that we play it the same way for SYF is to practice.
there's no shortcut for this.

but don't force yourself too hard until you go over the limit and your lips get sore and whatnot.

I can see that some people are improving really quickly :) keep up the good work! and yes we are working quite hard now...
SO LET'S CONTINUE CHIONGING TILL THE END!!!
(and lastly, I would like to apologise if I sound unreasonable because I understand I'm not the best of players, and I have my own flaws too)

OH YES PEOPLE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR WELL WISHES ETC MAKE THIS BLOG MORE LIVELY YEAHHHH

DEAR BELOVED(S),

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE COLLAR PIN

YOU ARE SUCH NICE JUNIORS,

I'M SO HAPPY.

IF YOU ALL CHOSE THE RIGHT TIMING,

MAYBE I'LL BE SO TOUCHED WHEN I GET IT

THAT I________

quote of the day:

" A few days can make a lot of difference. "

-Ms Chong

okay, ahmm section

remember that and start making the necessary changes 8)

i asked for feedbacks from seniors~

they say our bar 30 flyer and beginning of flyer is rushing

and inconsistent

so make the necessary changes

and you must feel the pulse, because we are not following the right tempo

and we are faster than ms chong quite obviously

so ya...

we sounded brighter today

but your notes didn't soar, it flapped quite a distance though :D

hey you you you remember the string k k k and the wool and the cotton stuff

they are so cute and pooffy and floating in the air.

IMAGINE THAT

AND PLAY.

let me put some REALLY CUTE videos here for you all to distress, watch it! HAHA

JIA YI SHU YUIN ZHI YUN XIN YI CHERYL

WE WERE THERE FOR LUNCH PRAC TODAY

YOU BROUGHT ME HAPPINESS PEEPS (;

ah im so touched looking at our team spirit,

pasting the scores, somehow seeing us work tgthr make me happy

it feels like a long time since we do this kind of " A TOGETHER THING"

somehow

with all the who cut who paste ah you play first nah it's okay

it's great (: and i think out notes fly again today.

even though it was messy AHH not so technical

but the feeling was there. see it can be there

i think because at this kind of lunch prac when everyone is in the mood, feeling it tgthr

then everyone go "hey let's join in" and you FEEL like playing it, the feeling is there,

IT COMES FROM WITHIN~ :D

now, we have 2 PRACS to put both the technical stuff and the feeling together. hmm.. how should we do it?

let me share this sentence i got in school:

" It is easy to teach students to reason correctly in the physical sciences; it is much more difficult to reason correctly in the social sciences where their own prejudices and passions are involved"

I think it's the same as our music (haha sound so movie like ahmm but wells..)

some stuff people can define how it's done, some are up to you to figure yourself

so we shall think and decipher that "some stuff" and move on the moving string tgthr k!

YES WE CAN DO THIS

im feeling it

2 MORE PRACS TO SYF OHMGEY OHMGEY

my friend just told me " oh really? monday? that's really fast you know!"

than i was like eheh yea, IKR. OHMGEY MONDAY!?!

ya so, we shall look at our pretty scores that's all done up and neat and nice

AND SOUND LIKE A CD,

tomorrow shall be another good day

just now we wanted to have a short semi sectionals

but apparently the ongoing band playing is so hard to resist and hard to part and and

in the end we didn't have time to do it

but nvm, at least we played sth, it's like another expression class YO! :D

THE SMILES ON YOUR FACE LET ME KNOW THAT...~ (it's a song btw)

we must buck up, get the energy and AHH .4 DAYS.

TO JIA YI SHU YUIN ZHI YUN XIN YI CHERYL

let me tell you something my teacher said just now,

that somehow touched my heart, and it's also why i've always appreciated her I think!

"Thank you for doing your best during this lesson,

you have been very good"

I think I would want to say this to us too (:

even though I think my class didn't actually do their best today

she said it, i think she tried to understand us

but if we don't do anything about it

I think she'll soon get tired of it.

Hola section, here I am again as I've said, DAY 2 (:

WE HAD BAND TODAY! YAY BE HAPPY.

oh okay. firstly, here are my comments:

1. I think we didn't sound good today, last friday was much better!

what happened? ):

but don't be disheartened, we can do it right...!

We may not be the best ever section in terms of playing,

I think this is not sth we don't know. However, if we try our best then the product is worth it right

so adjust adjust, dont know why today we sounded so DEAD oh no, not good,

must recover ok! your notes didn't fly today, it had bird flu or sth SO SAD!

Hope it'll be better on Thurs okay, 2nd last chance before the real thing (:

2. some stuff to take note:

our part C of flyer, the 3 crotchets right.. make it flow more,

abit longer, NOT DRAGGY, but don't jump too abruptly like we broke a leg HAHA

jump gayly~ okay!

and don't frgt to hold the last notes of each bar for the beginning, if not it'll be untidy

3. Get your spirits up okay! I think we had lots of awesome wise words today.

"PLAY NICE AND PRETTY, SOUND LIKE A CD"

-MS CHONG

"IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL SOUND, AWESOME,

ALL OF US SHOULD PLAY LIKE (THAT)"

-MR GOH

"YOU MUST ENJOY YOUR PIECE AND YOUR MUSIC

WILL COME FROM WITHIN"

"I DON'T FEEL THE NERVES, I FEEL ALL POSITIVE ENERGY,

FROM ALL AROUND THIS ROOM, IT'S THE RIGHT ATTITUDE."

-MRS HO

YAY! so, remember all the cool stuff we heard today and really put your

threehundredpercent effort in the next 6 days k!

tmr's sectional, clear your last doubts and finalise evrything on friday,

monday will be our "presentation"

HOW COOL IS THAT 8D

yes love it,

We shall countdown together, as SYF is right smack one week away

I will, post everyday from today on

and motivate everyone, including myself.

ohohohho it's coming real fast, and then all your hard will work fly to the moon,

and it WON'T come back anymore!

so say your bye bye to the 2 pieces in a grand way for it won't come back after flying off okay!

Run the last sprint and chase after it

I HOPE TO SEE FULL ATTENDANCE ON WEDNESDAY'S LUNCH PRAC

(if you all even check the blog regularly)

it's the last lunch prac before SYF and there's also no more block test for lower sec

so I think you all should be able to come right (8

and and upper sec, only left with chinese, i guess it's a can-come-day too ..?

I shall praise the rest of us who come for every single lunch pracs.

-> GOOD JOB EVERYONE, WELL DONE, SO RESPONSIBLE! HAHA 8D

of course, if you put in effort, people will know

and people can tell from your playing

SO, COME COME SHOW US WHAT YOU'VE GOT

Of course, at this point you shouldn't be learning on how to climb the ladder

but rather, reaching the top

don't reach the top realising you've forgotten to bring the flag

and it's sitting happily down on earth, you get what i mean?

you should

be reaching THERE,

with pride and dignity, all ready to show the world

and even if the ladder breaks after that(lousy ladder),

you are safe and contented

because at least you reached the top once, all with your own effort.

You know you have put in your best and it's not your fault if things did not go as planned,

AIM HIGH, AND GET IT, STRIVE FOR IT.

SYF 2011 GOLD WITH HONOURS

say it, sing it, write it, doodle it, draw it

till it's all up in your head~ you are what you believe

it's all IN THE HEAD.

WE CAN REACH IT!

Think of Appa, SIBF, SYF09 and every other enjoyable moment you have with NYCB

and perform with all your heart, and make the audience cry because they LOVE your playing

GO, DO IT

Sec2s, make it a good SYF to tell your juniors,

Sec3s, it's your only SYF you ever get,

Sec4s, it's our last year,

what else can we want.

Tell me you can do it, show me you can do it

those who like to play pointing down, soft and unclear, mumbling to yourself kind of playing

play out and be proud, let gooooo and let the sound come out

so that the section won't be A LUMP OF SOUNDS,

NOT TOGETHER

NO FEELINGS. YES?

YES, TELL ME YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT

i'm sure you do, it's not like we can't do it

it's just that sometimes maybe thr's something you never thought of

and when it strikes you, you will go OH

and SHINE WHEN THE TIME COMES

"live like you're dying" and do the best you can be!

HI EVERYBODY THIS IS KEYECHENG SPEAKING!!!!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE IM HERE TO REVIVE THIS ULTIMATELY DEAD BLOG.

okay anw we are currently having sleepover at Jiayi's house!!!
me xinyi jiaxin sungjin and her!! :D
chionging the sec4s's farewells gifts now ooops
and they just quarrelled abt blankets okay thats dumb but yeah..

tmr will be farewell alr :(
last day with all the sec4s.
goshhhhhh pau huishan and peiwei we're gonna miss you guys like MAD!!!!
this year was really really enjoyable for all of us!!
thank you for all your efforts put into CATS to make it the best and the most wonderful section ever!!!
now that we are preparing for SYF next year....
i really hope that everyone will put in their very best and we will strive forward tgt as a section!!
ppl...you guys have to work alot alot alot harder!!
we...are very very weak now... :(
so...you guys really have to cooperate with me kay!!
listen to what i tell you!
and BE VERY VERY VERY ATTENTIVE DURING SECTIONALS!!!
what mr lun say to us is very impt to us. and what ms chong say during main band is oso very very impt to us. we have to be able to listen out more to each other and improve our intonation. we sound very horrible now...with like notes flying everywhere and it really sounds like crap.
i hope everyone will take syf next year very seriously. you guys have no idea how hard the seniors are working and the stress that we have. by putting in your best effort and doing your best is all i want from you guys now ): can you guys help me with that? :(

but at the same time, i want you guys to enjoy the process. the results are indeed impt...but process is much much more precious and usually its the process that we will rmb for life. im going to be very strict on you guys, but i hope that no one will have any harsh feelings. band is band. when its time to play we will play hard. if you guys have anything that you wanna feedback to us just feel free to come approach me:D but seriously band is gonna be very tough for you guys. im gonna be alot stricter. im sorry if in the process i hurt any of you...but what i eventually want from all of you is for everyone to enjoy band and we improve tgt as a section:)

hmmm hopefully you guys can try to understand how stressful i feel and all i want is you guys to play your best. really. i will be very very thankful to you guys:D

yeps yeps so lets all work hard tgt kay! my last year le!! let me do my best to serve you guys as you SL! :D cheers!! :D

I found some images online, hope they're not copy righted =/ anw can use for the front, cos yea quite similar to horns' design some of the images maybe cannot use cos too many colours, but so cool and cute xD
quite cool for the front
can add in like "why are we so purr-fect?" LOL with this question markk??

squish it squish it

can put at some random part of our tee?

cool

I found some images online, hope they're not copy righted. =/ anw can use for the front, cos yea quite similar to horns' design. this one so cute right HAHA

this one not bad, if we want to use

this one also not bad

Designs honhonhon.

2010-03-01T16:38:00.003+08:00

I was instructed by he who shall not be named to post designs. Uh. I edited them like, today and

Logo for the top there. Uh, it looked nice, though It's not exactly set into stone. And the horns might think we're copying :c

The blue one. (Still disapproving of, too.)

Orange/yellow/whatchamacallit. Yeah.

And white, since it gives us unlimited colours. Why yes I did just spiffy it with vectors and everything since it's free flow of colours c:

Electrifying blue, because people told me that they wanted that. And then I decided to put it anyway to prove how glaring it was. 8)

I would make them in black and white and I would do more but uh uh uh we have homework and all that razzle dazzle too. ♥

section outing part two.

2009-07-04T15:17:00.002+08:00

haha okay I'll post since no one's gonna post
okay after everything germaine posted, we went to wash up and ate dinner at subway

then went yuzhen's house in this reallyreallyreallyreally slow moving bus

yeah so by the time we reached very late already

played card games and stuff

but we were like all half asleep.

but then when its time to sleep somehow we weren't sleepy

haha

so amanda sat on peiwei's sleeping bag and three of us huddled together (cause i was scared of the dark)

yeah

so in the morning woke up brushed our teeth and somehow amanda was in pauline's sleeping bag and pauline had to sit up and sleep.

o.o

yeap then after a reallyreallyreally long time we decided to go jurong (supposedly to bowl)

and there was this crazy man and thia lao ahma who kept staring at us cause we were covering amanda so she could wear her skirt

it must have looked so wrong o.o

yeah so we ran away

and went to eat lunch and arcade(x

2009-06-28T14:28:00.004+08:00

And it basically went like this from lunch on:

Small mat is small. Food is apparently more important than our butts, so all the food was on the mat while our ~~butts~~ pants were enjoying the sand.
The super large amount of rice + noodles + snacks + chips + tidbits + jelly + drinks + food... was finished.
Peiwei saved the day by finishing the rice. :D
Gave up trying to digest the food and went on with cycling anyway.
Yuzhen + Huishan + Jiaxin decided to rollerblade. Cheryl's socks were stolen in the process.
Cue screaming and shouting because we fail so much and couldn't ride a bike.
But miraculously the section survived and thus waited at the jetty for Yuzhen + Huishan + Jiaxin.
Pictures, pictures, and pictures. Bonus picture of our ~~butts~~ backs because of the fish in the water. c:
Yuzhen + Huishan + Jiaxin were sent off back first for a headstart. Biked to god knows where and 拼命地骑着脚踏车. More pictures. Then all the way down.
Apparently managed to catch up to Yuzhen + Huishan + Jiaxin because bicycles are awesome.
fail!Hill (with a durian on top just to make it look better) stood beside the sandcastle and paled in comparison.
Amanda + Jiaxin got wet butts.
Huishan was buried to her knees.
Yuzhen's feet were buried. She shrank.
Crab in some funky fruit found by Amanda in the water. Crab played dead and was then ignored under a pile of sand.

cats!castle ♥

Also, bonus Yuzhen digging a sad sad hole.

Most awesome time ever y/y?

everyone feeling better right? love ya<3

nothing you can beat

2009-04-04T14:16:00.006+08:00

omg i started playing hymn like a few minutes ago and it suddenly started raining!!!
SEE? even heaven is crying for us.

you all did a wonderful job yesterday.
all of you played beyond the infinite sky.
it was already heaven.
so don't fret. cuz we know what we're capable of.
that we are not what the judges thought we were.

oh it stopped raining already. haha. what kind of rain is that. -.-

as i said, even that balding ah chek was like "why suddenly so strict".
ah chek could feel the emotions and the story behind your music.
im sure the whole audience felt it too. =)

OMG I REPLAYED HYMN AND IT STARTED RAINING AGAIN!
SIAO IM FREAKING OUT. O.0
was heaven really crying for us??? o.0
wah this is freaky man. haha.
oh its starting to get heavier. hmm its the exciting part of hymn now.
the rain is synchronized with the music. coooool. xD

anyway great job k?
that was really awesome yesterday.
it was really nothing you can beat.

"music was seen as the study of relationships between invisible, internal, hidden objects by the ancient greeks. Music has a way of finding the big, invisible moving pieces inside our hearts and souls and helping us figure out the position of things inside us."

"Music is one of the ways we make sense of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when we cannot with our minds."

"“If we were a medical school, and you were here as a med student practicing appendectomies, you’d take your work very seriously because you would imagine that some night at two AM someone is going to waltz into your emergency room and you’re going to have to save their life. Well, my friends, someday at 8 PM someone is going to walk into your concert hall and bring you a mind that is confused, a heart that is overwhelmed, a soul that is weary. Whether they go out whole again will depend partly on how well you do your craft. You’re not here to become an entertainer, and you don’t have to sell yourself. The truth is you don’t have anything to sell; being a musician isn’t about dispensing a product, like selling used Chevies. I’m not an entertainer; I’m a lot closer to a paramedic, a firefighter, a rescue worker. You’re here to become a sort of therapist for the human soul, a spiritual version of a chiropractor, physical therapist, someone who works with our insides to see if they get things to line up, to see if we can come into harmony with ourselves and be healthy and happy and well."

that was part of what leng read to us during a band prac.
the whole thing is super long cuz its a speech. so yea.

nycb's music is a therapist for the human soul.
our trademark of being able to convey our emotions through our music. =)
you all touched the audience with your music yesterday.
and thats more than enough. =)

the passion lives on!
we pick ourselves up and fly back up into the infinite sky!

-guanteng

2009-04-03T22:18:00.003+08:00

If I were to give an honest opinion, all of you were awesome up there.

It doesn't matter what we get, because NYCB was amazing there. Hymn sounded really nice and the audience seemed really touched by it.

So it doesn't matter, cop, bronze, silver, gold - It's over, but inside we're a great band, and a great section.

Two years later, let's get back on that stage and play our hearts out again.

CATS are still primitive creatures :D

2009-03-24T22:04:00.001+08:00

HELLO PEAOPLE!

hahaha.

JIAYOU FOR SYF OKAY!

Hi all!
Thanks for all your dedication, hardwork, commitment, passion,
leadership....the list goes all.... Great job and I'm very proud of you all!
I had a good time last night and was able to sleep a little better. :)
I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves thoroughly and indeed, NYCB was in the Limelight! Compliments are continuing to pour in and they are all very good...
At the same time, it's time of the year to pass down.
This year has been many firsts for the band and it just makes it harder...
I'll miss you all and do come back to play, visit etc...
I'm sure your juniors would love to see you all.
