It's Christmas Eve today! LOL. But it's so rainy and depressing ): But at least the rain's let up a little, hopefully it won't be raining heavily later, otherwise it'll be real hard to get to church without ruining my getup ):

Anyway. This portion here is 'dedicated' to all Sec1s:

I know that sometimes you guys are kinda put off by things we say and all, but you've gotta try and look at things from our perspective. For example Weiying. She has high expectations of everyone. Wanna know why? 'Cuz in the past, we had many more practices than we're having now, and of course she has prior experience because her brother's in other choirs and she knows much more than anyone else! So you can't really blame her can you? Okay, granted you guys did not know that fact. But now that you do, please try and 'sympathize' with us, for lack of any other word to use.

And now, on to your attitude. Okay actually, this is mainly for the Sec1 Sopranos. Firstly, if you don't want us to scold you, show us that y'all can do without scoldings or any other disciplinary action, for that matter. If you don't show us, you can't blame us for doing so right? With regards to learning your parts, we've already told you countless times, IT'S OKAY TO MAKE MISTAKES. Just don't repeat them again after we've told you because that shows that you weren't paying attention during sectionals or that you just can't be bothered. When we ask you if you know your parts, we expect answers. I mean, come on, we aren't talking to walls are we? So we're expecting some sort of response, okay? TYVM. If you don't know your parts, just say so! We'll try to help you as best as we can; there's no harm in asking questions right? And at the same time, when we ask you if anyone doesn't know their parts, and we're greeted with silence, we're gonna be assuming that y'all know your parts, y'know? So you can't blame us if we get frustrated when it turns out that y'all actually don't know your parts very well.

And when Weiying talks, I know that sometimes the things she says really does put people off, but what she says makes sense. So no matter how put off you are, you've gotta try and put that aside and listen to what she has to say, because that might help you to improve! That's only if you're willing to learn and improve yourself. If you're gonna let your feelings/emotions affect your learning like that, then you've really got to sit down and think, if this is what you really want. I know that there are some of you who do want to sing out, who do want to learn, but something's stopping you right? And I think I know what it is. You don't dare to sing out for fear that you'll be ostracized, am I right? But let me tell you something, IT'S PERFECTLY ALRIGHT. Really, it is.

Okay? So this is all I have to say, for now. Please try and show us some improvement of some sort. And for your auditions, please look through your scores and make sure that you carry out all dynamic markings etc. Auditions are not just some event where you sing and expect to get in, NO. Mr Kwei's auditions have a very high standard and if you're not good enough he's just gonna cross you off his list, he's not gonna try to squeeze a place for you. After all, he only needs 65 people for the Italy trip. So it's no good being so happy-go-lucky and thinking that it's gonna be easy. Lemme tell you something. People like me, Weiying, Siuyen and the other SLs are all scared for the upcoming audition. We've passed the SYF audition and last year's Russia trip audition, and WE ARE STILL SCARED. So, now you know what to expect eh?

Bye(: I think I've said enough for now.
