Bonding Time

Hey Its Your SL Here
Ready For Some Fun Time?
As many of you know we have planned a series of activities to help you guys understand each other right?
Be Prepared For The Upcoming Activities:
BBQ on 27 nov and other activities yet to be fully laid out, so do stay tune.

The performance is coming and i bet most of you are pretty uptight about it. Coming back to practice yesterday really make us glad. We are fortunate to have you guys as the new gen. Do continue to work hard and if you have anything in mind, even just to call and chat, do call me anytime...and stay cheerful. Do Your Best, No Regrets.

Attendance

Hi I'm here to address the problem of the attendance, recently attendance have been dwindling, and i hate to say that there has been a lot of problems caused by it.

I suppose those who attended the combined practice this few weeks would understand. Constant irritation to Zheng Lao Shi as there is no full attendance, and progress has been slow due to that.

For Your Info, we have only left with 3 weeks of practices left, so do come. I do not appreciate people rejecting my calls, does anyone like that? Working is definitely not a valid excuse. School Or Work? Decide yourself.

I don't mean to sound harsh but i'm quite irritated by the fact that due to your irresponsibility those who come on a regular basis is being reprimanded. I would not want you to regret for your current actions as it will affect the overall performance of Musical Vairations at SCH.

Set Bs, I understand that you are practising hard, but for certain technical skills, it is possible to correct them if you practise, conscious of your own faults, and try to correct them. I suppose you all know your current weaknesses, unable to play the full potential of the cello and etc.

Thus, I would really your appreciate your cooperation with us.

P.S. REPLY TO MY TEXT MESSAGES, I TEXT FOR A REASON, LIKE I SAID BEFORE TEXTING IS DUE TO THE URGENCY OF THE MATTER

Cello/Bass Section Outing

Hello everyone! I'm here trying to organize a outing for the whole section which mean we are going out together as Set A and Set B. I know there a outing before that for the Set B. It's not that we(set A) didnt want to come it's because not all of us was being informed.

Do let me know when all of your papers are ending and where are the places you all want to head together! I would rather everyone's information and try to plan a date that suit everyone. Drop me a email @ melissalim25@hotmail.com or leave a message at the tagboard.

Hope to hear from all of you soon. Good luck for all your exams! Chaochao!

With ♥,
Melissa

Attendance

Please note that attendance will be taken for every practice for set a and b. The attendance will be taken seriously and valid reasons will have to be given to me BEFORE the practice that you are going to miss.

I also would like to address once more that each practice is essential, you may lose out on what Chen Lao Shi teaches every practice. I can see that everyone is serious during the practice, which is what i'm happy to see.

Extra practices can be arranged and please note that ARRANGE GROUPS TO COME BACK TO PRACTICE. Please understand as we often are tied down to work and may not be able to cope academically.

Thank you and carry on your good work.
