Even though we didn't get our Silver, I have to say, that that performance, right there, on the stage of Victoria Concert Hall, right at that moment... was our BEST performance we've ever given. Seriously. It's the first time I hear everyone singing the dynamics, going loud and going soft, so clearly. It's the first time I nearly cried as we sang Danny Boy, just by hearing us sing Danny Boy. It's the first time I saw everyone smile so widely as they sing the firefly song. And if you ask around all the choir members, I can bet they share the same feelings too.
Of course, Bronze award simply means we have not reached the standard required by a Silver award. Which means, we gotta keep improving ourselves until the next SYF which is like...oh, for me this is my last, but for my juniors, it ain't. So, keep improving yourselves, don't throw away everything that Miss Fu, Miss Mok, our seniors, and Mrs Kwok have taught you, don't backslide in your standard of performing, okay? The fact that you are a choir member of HYSS means you still have to maintain this very same standard you had for SYF. Cannot afford to drop. Written, copy-and-pasted by : AMANDUU :)
HEY CHOIR!
WE HAD GOT A BRONZE FOR THIS YEAR'S SYF! thought wasn't what alot of us wish for, but at least we had put in our effort, and we had done our best. continue to work hard and don't disappoint our Seniors and teachers, OKAY CHOIR? JIAYOU! *hearts.hearts.hearts.* ;shujuan. (:

There will be self-practice this coming Monday (20 April 2009).
Time: 3.30 pm Venue: AVA room For those who have their NAPFA test on this day, we will be asking the teacher in charge to reschedule for you all to take the NAPFA test on another date. Remember to turn up in your court shoes; or else, if 1 person forgets to bring, the whole choir will run one round OUTSIDE the school. All for one, one for all, ok? ---------- I would like to share with you this short story I learned from a leadership camp; it's called the parable of the frog. (I have a reason behind this). Once upone a time, there was a race by frogs. The goal was to reach the top of a high tower. Many people gathered to see and support them. The race began. In reality, the people probably did not believe that it was possible that the frogs could reach the top of the tower, and all the phrases that one could hear were of this kind, "What pain! They'll never make it!" The frogs began to resign, except for one who kept on climbing. The people continued, "What pain! They'll never make it!" And the frogs admitted defeat, except for the frog that continued to insist. At the end, all the frogs quit, except the one that, alone and with an enormous effort, reached the top of the tower. The others wanted to know how he did it. One of them approached him to ask him how he had done it - to finish the race. And discovered that he... was deaf! This is the moral behind the story: Never listen to people who have the bad habit of being negative...because they steal the best aspirations of your heart! Always remind yourself of the power of the words that we hear or read. This is why you always have to think POSITIVE! Always be deaf to someone who tells you that you cannot and will not achieve your goals or make your dreams come true. Continue to strive on step-by-step towards your goals. -AMANDUU
