HEY GUYS!

I know i should be sleeping by now. Anyone of you who is reading this should go and sleep immediately! HAAH.. Everybody, jiayou tmr!! For J2s, it would be the last performance with you guys! For J1s, this would be your last chance to sing with your wonderful/weird seniors! So lets make it the best and memorable performance! WEEEEE!!!! GOOD NITES!

2009-05-06T00:08:00.003+08:00

Hey guys,

Though we got a silver, but i still think everyone really did a great job and put up a wonderful performance. At the end of the day, just remember the joy you guys experienced when you are singing on stage. I think that is something that everyone should be proud of, because ms lau,ms tan and the few of us really felt your joy and character when you guys were singing. We felt it was your best performance on stage. So yup, don't be too hard on yourself. Have a good night sleep, we will start working tomorrow again! Lets get ready and prepare a wonderful concert for our family and friends! :)

Take care!

Wilson

Countdown to our big day!

ALL THE WAY! :D

7 days to SYF!

2009-04-28T10:20:00.003+08:00

HELLO CHOIR!

7 days to SYF, and auditions are today!

Everyone is perfectly capable of taking part, so give it your best shot and be very consistent.

Think of fishes and no robots! Enjoy yourselves and everything will fall in place naturally.
Keep the brains going and keep fishes fresh!
Just remember everything Ms Tham has said/says and internalise and apply! :D

(Soppies - Think F-A-T 0.0)

ALL THE WAY!

Hey choir! Don't be disheartened by Saturday's performance. Learn from the bad points and remember the good points from all prior practices. You are the music while the music lasts! Don't just sing as a group of people reciting the same 15 minutes of notes; sing as one choir with melody and harmony soaring to the skies above! So don't lose heart (or notes), take pride in your own singing abilities, and remember there's a reason why you're in TJChoir and not thrown to random slack PDPs.

The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside. ~Rabindranath Tagore

Remember this quote! The music you create comes from within each and every one of you, not affected by external factors. Don't worry so much! If things go wrong, DON'T go with them! Nerves are good, they show that we're all human and bring up our adrenaline levels (=P) but worry just gives small things a big shadow! So just sing your best, stop worrying about what's going to happen, and give it your all for the next 4 practices til SYF! All the best to all of you.

Bren.

2009-04-26T18:48:00.004+08:00

Hi guys

From now on. we will:

sing with one brain!
remember every single thing that Ms Tham and SCs have worked on.
sing with the correct techniques
do our best
learn every single good points of the other choirs from sat
not let anyone down anymore
sing with our soul and bring out the flavor in each son
not panic and be fearful

WE WILL GET GWH FOR SYF!!

No matter how much i say, we can only achieve all this if we believe and continue to work super hard!
So everyone, do your best!
Remember to continue tag under the encouragement tab to encourage everyone!

See ya tomorrow!

Wilson

2009-04-24T22:01:00.000+08:00

WELL DONE CHOIR!

I heard you formed overtones today :D
I want to be there!
Rest well, eat Vitamin C and we'll see each other at Choir Exchange tomorrow!
All the way :DD

2009-04-23T23:17:00.001+08:00

HEY EVERYONE!!

HOPE YOU GET TO RELAX TODAY! REMEMBER TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER,EAT A LOT OF PIPAGAO SWEET AND REST!!! SEE YA TML! :)

Wilson

2009-04-22T22:43:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone!

Find that today's practice was pretty effective! Just like what Amanda says, we are getting there! Everybody must try their best! We will reach the peak just on time! Continue to encourage each other through the tagboard under the encouragement tab. I think we need a lot of encouragement for each other to pull through this 13 days! :)

Wilson

2009-04-20T22:57:00.004+08:00

Hi guys,

Wilson here. Even though i was not there today, but i heard about the how our choir is doing now. I guess everyone is stressed about how choir is doing now. I am not going to tell you to not feel stress, because it is impossible. But i understand that sufficient stress can give everyone the motivation to achieve greater heights.At the end of the day, we want to walk off the stage knowing that we did and tried our best.

So once again, i encourage every single one of you to do your best in every single practices we have. Do not be scared of singing wrong things, for everyone is there to help one another. We are there to help each other, thats why we are called TJCHOIR.
Always remember our motto:

One Voice, One Heart and One Soul

P.S: I have set up a new tagboard under the encouragement tab for everyone to encourage each other for this crucial SYF period. So do tag to encourage the choir and visit this blog more often:)

All the Way!

2009-04-15T19:57:00.007+08:00

Hello Choir!

21 days to SYF! O.O

Anyway, I just wanted to say
RELAX! :D
(Green is a relaxing colour!)

I think some of us, or many of us in fact are getting quite stressed up and worried about our progress! I would first want to apologise if any of you feel that I've been too mean/unaccommodating or anything like that, do let me know and I will see what I can do about it.

In any case, dont worry too much! I ~~think~~ Know we can do this, we just need to work hard, think smart and enjoy ourselves! I have confidence in us (: At the very end we should re-examine our motivation and purpose of joining choir, and whether or not we're happy doing what we are doing now!

I can share with you why I joined choir and what I hope to achieve out of this! For me, I joined choir because I enjoy singing and making music together with a group of people as passionate about choral music as I am, and of course to have fun, socialise, make friends and forge bonds! I think I do enjoy myself in choir overall. Practices may be increasing and we may be working on the same material over and over again, but I get satisfaction knowing that something has improved and that this phrase/line/song has more meaning than it did before [:

SYF is a competition, but ultimately we are competing against ourselves, and not so much against other people! We're against the fear of going onstage, fear of making a mistake, and how much that fear and all other factors that affect OUR performance is going to determine how well, or how badly we will perform on that stage. On SYF day, we want to show people, and show ourselves, the best performance ever, the best songs sung, and the best ever music experience yet. Remember, its all about making music and enjoying the process! So lets not let our fear get in our way, overcome us and affect our music, because that would be a huge waste, dont you think? (Of course its easier said than done, so thats why we should start practicing now!)

So choir, do think about what you're doing and what you want to do! I believe it will motivate us and drive us to do our very best on May 5th!

Keep it up, persevere and work towards what You wish you achieve!
Lets start to make music okay?
Yesduitgang! :D

Love,

(Fat) kaiyin (:

I just realised that i should do a proper report about the trip.

22 of us, including 2 teachers and 1 conductor travelled to Bratislava and participated in the III international Festival of Advent and Christmas Music in the Youth Category.In addition,we have participated in a total of 2 concerts over there, the opening and the Gala concert.

We want to thank our amazing conductor, Ms Tham and our 2 wonderful teachers, Ms Lau and Ms Tan for their kind guidance and support. It was their patience and guidance that had allowed us to clinch a silver in the competition.

I want to represent the exco to thank the every single one of the choir members. It is because of everyone's effort that allowed the choir to attain the award. Lets continue to work hard for our upcoming performances and do better for SYF next year.

I also just received the results from SAJChorale about their trip to Prague.
SAJChorale won a Gold medal and emerged as the overall champion of the “Youth Choir Category” as well as a silver medal for the “Adult Folklore Category”.
Lets give them a round of applauds for their spectacular results.

We had so much fun working with them during the concert. Lets hope that we can work with them again next year!

That is all from me. Enjoy the remaining holidays!

Yup. If any of you have objections to the layout, you can just leave (anonymous, if you want) tags on the tagboard and I'll make changes. But no flaming please! Thanks. (:
