Yo I'm back! Today boss on leave so can slack a lil. Shhh... Didn't hear it from me.

Anyways, make sure you all work hard for the syf ya? And even after you guys graduate, continue to pursue this common skill that we all share. If possible, go take the music exams, get a grade and a cert and it will help you go far.

If you guys want to try dsa next time (like me), most likely can make it de. You see my skills so lousy but still managed to get through means it is possible de ya? But it will have to depend on which school you all try... For NJC, we have to first go through auditions, then written tests for mathematics and english and then followed by the interview. Most in bp were able to make it through the tests (if they dsa through results) but many died at the interview.

When i first got landed with the cello in sec 1, i was so sad that i nearly cried. Coz i join the chinese orchestra to learn a chinese instrument and it was totally unexpected for me to get cello. In fact, shen lao shi wanted me to go to double bass due to my height. And i was lonely, like Yi Xiu, the only sec 1. Plus that time i was so shy, didn't really speak to the seniors.

However, after a while, i realised that cello ain't that bad right? It's kinda cool too. Not many ppl knows how to play the cello as it requires lots of patience. Then Wei Qi joined co and i felt even better. Followed by the fact that i started to talk to the seniors more and we became real good friends.

So guys, don't give up this special skill of yours. Continue to pursue it. Now in co practice in NJC, i feel myself improving more and more. It's great to meet cello ppl out there who are way better than you because when you play with them, there's really a huge improvement. The sound quality, the confidence level... Shiok. You guys will definitely enjoy it too. Jia you!!! :p

Hope you all can schedule another outing next year or maybe we can go out for lunch as a section? It'll be fun... Haha. Actually i was thinking of a huge outing for tenor section, meaning asking my seniors out too. So there's gonna be six "generation" of ppl together. But a lil difficult plus I'm kinda busy...

So, juniors, study hard!!! I must see you guys in all the top schools, in the best of the best. Good luck in everything you do and don't miss me! :}
