hiya

Hi! EOYs are coming and Ive just thought of some way to remember notes, we can relate them to co! For example if you want to memorize the amphoteric oxides, lets remember lets say a liuqin: When you put marks on a liuqin you use pencil, so-lead!, next the liuqin when old gives off smell (ok no offence) so its smelly like: Ammonium! Lastly the liuqin uses a flat bopian and when we think of flat we think of-Aluminium!!!! So there now you can see how co helps in memorizing of our notes. It is effective and easy! So, why not pick up your instrument and start relating now?

Happy mugging,
lalalala

Practice today

Hi guys,

I think today’s practice has had a marked improvement on the deadlock that we seem to be trapped in for the past few weeks or so…he seems to have simmered for now with his greeting and all.

Hope we can keep this up and prevent future diplomatic rows.

By the way, please suggest possible translations of the song titles that we’re performing for the concert, along the lines of Lunar Representations of the Cardiovascular Organ.

Jokes so lame you'll need a wheelchair

我们征海时看到了“传”灯

Why does jianpu only have letters 1-8? Because 7 8/ate 9, 10/then 11 12/跳 13

I broke my string and had to get a 心新弦

Huqin people are all in J2 because they are 高二中


On a side note, our dear senior Hu Ching is supposedly coming to RI one one of the assemblies to talk about some green earth thingy.

Have fun.

100 days left to EOY concert.

Minus exams, holidays, whatever you have, bleargh there is barely enough time left. So for those who continue to screw around during practices or not in the least concerned about coming for practices, stop screwing around. Please remember the purpose of this concert. If we don't want to go make a fool out of ourselves on 14.12, then we had better wake up. There is barely enough dazus left to rehearse all our 13 songs, let alone master them. Please also try to remind your juniors / peers / seniors of practice like the day before, since Tanbo Section is really such a forgetful bunch of people. Thats all.

Oh, by the way… who’s interested in self-practice this Friday for Tanbo section only to make up for the loss of practice today due to soccer support 0.o?

About xiaozu recently

Recently, as we all know, xiaozu practice has become somewhat disruptive, because of our lacklustre behaviour since ages ago. Particularly because of differences in personality and the varying attitudes that different members have for RICO. So, at last Monday’s practice some of us stayed behind and mulled over the dilemma that we were facing. It is apparent that the issue has been so prolonged and pent-up that I think we must address it immediately. For the fear that this matter may blow out of proportion and spiral into more trouble than needed (think Murphy’s law), I will only list out some of our problem areas that have caused this dilemma.

First of all, it must be admitted that our basic punctuality is quite sucky. People come in one-by-one at various times; indeed, I don’t remember any time when we started practice promptly at 3.30 sharp. Because the RJCO room too far away for people to collect their instruments by 3.30, since school invariably ends at different times. So I’m suggesting we push practice hours back by 30 minutes, i.e. 4-7pm. So far most people are okay with it, so Wen Qiang has agreed to put the decision to a vote at next practice.

That is the smallest problem by far, however. A more severe reason for our poor rapport with X so far is because our standard and commitment to RICO is not quite up to standards. One xiaozu practice a week, although supplemented by dazu on Saturdays, is hardly enough for myself, while in the past because we had two xiaozus a week, our standard may have been better. The assumption is that we will do self-practice at home. Personally, even as I have my own zhongruan, I hardly ever have the time to do much more than half an hour on my own. What more our members who don’t have their own instruments, or don’t bring home? Wen Qiang has thought over this (and been rejected as well), but I think it’ll be beneficial if we can get Wednesday or Friday for self-practice.

Thirdly and most importantly, we need to raise our commitment level to much higher. Some people (hint hint) don’t come very often for practice, and some others choose to go home even if an hour or two of practice still remains. And as Chun Yin has said before, we need to be more respectful and responsible to (hint hint) if we want to actually get more substantial progress done during xiaozu practice. Like greet with more sincerity at least.

If we don’t want to screw up for the upcoming concert, but uphold our dignity as a core CCA on par with others, and also live up to Mr Yeo’s expectations of us, I think change has to come from within. Now.

(Please comment on the proposed changes: pushing back of practice time, restoration of extra practice hours.)
