hey bandits!!

i hope you guys actually read this.
please tag to show that you have visited this blog.
i would want to see this blog as an active website.
i hope that you guys will refer to this blog as an announcement board,
as you know that our announcement board at school sucks. ><

anyway, i hope today's talk woke you up.
we had a talk is not because we think that you guys are bad or what.
we just wanted to remind you guys that SYF is not long from now.
in fact, its in 48 hours; exactly 2 days. BEAR THAT IN MIND.

we just dont see that sense of urgency in you.
you guys have been delaying time so much lately.
for example, on saturday.
mr lun brought forward the band practice time to 1pm.
but then, whats the problem?
many of you turned up late. & the practice started at exactly 2.40.
might as well mr lun shouldnt have brought forward the time right?

seriously punctuality is important when it comes to things like this.
when 1 person is late or not present, the whole band will actually fall.
just like the phrase, "One band, one sound".
without one player, the sound would be affected.
it is just that simple. dont you agree with me?

i know that many of you have been working really really hard for this year's SYF.
& im proud of you all, as a senior.
i see improvement during every practice. which is a very good thing.
but just because lately, you guys are tired,
you lose your interest and then give up on SYF?
no, you should never give.
even if you dont feel the pinch, think about how much effort you guys have put in.

think about that. also think about Mr Lun.
He has given in to us all the time, he's been closing one eye on us.
He has never given up on us, no matter how much we dissappoint him.
He has constant faith in us, & you should know that.

so let's make Mr Lun be proud of us.
because deep down, i know that, to him, the results of SYF is not important.
its the effort, commitment & the co-operation;
that you have given him during the past few months.
that's is what he expects from us.
without these, a silver would not even come in our way.

so dear bandits, please.
in this next 48 hours/2 days.
please FOCUS & COMMIT yourself to SYF.
100% IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
once its over, you will definitely think back, & you will definitely miss the memories.
well i did, and im always thinking of those sweet memories.

SO THAT'S IT. i have nothing else to say.
i hope you guys will come to realise that Mr Lun really care for us.

take care.
sleep early for the next few days.
drink lots of water to that you wont fall sick.
& please do whatever your parents nag at you to do.
haha.

Thanks, Xiao Ting. (:
Good luck to SKYband too!! :D

& binghan, your tag shows that you came and read the blog. (:
i really appreciate that. (:


TONS OF MUSICAL LOVE,
Kamiyah, your faithful/annoying/naggy senior. :D
btw, i was the one who posted the previous post (:

& we played a song for you at 10:53 PM.


hey band!! i know no one will read this but seriously i have to say this.
the band has seriously improved in playing. sound-wise has improved alot.
but then, not all are commited to attend all practices.
there will always be a day that 1 person will not turn up. it can be anyone, with silly reasons.

then there is band practice today.
& everyone is complaining because of the sudden decision.
you guys should not be complaining at all.
its just for three days, at least an hour each.
what the hell are you complaining for?
yes, many of you have other stuff to do like,
coursework, homework, and assignments to complete.
but still, you want a silver, & yet you are complaining.
i seriously dont understand what you guys want.

this is never a time to complain about such things.
its time to be serious and committed. we only have 3 days left.
put that in your head; 3 DAYS!!
dont let the band down, dont let Mr Lun down, don't let yourself down.
dont forget that you have worked so freaking hard for this year's SYF.
Mr Lun has alot of faith is us, & the last thing he would want to not see is us giving up.
dont you think so? SO BANDMATES, please please please, stop complaining!
after SYF, you are practically free to do what you want.

& the last thing i want to emphasise on is that no matter what the results is,
just know that you have done your very best.
You've made the band proud, the school proud,
MR LUN proud and most importantly, YOURSELF.
to me, going through SYF is an achievement, no matter what the results are.

okay thats it, btw, here is the list of schools that are having their syf on the same day as us.
they may sound like good schools, & yes they are.
dont let that bring you down. we might be the band that may be the youngest.
so what? we're equally going through the same thing. okay?

last but not least, dearest bandmates,
HAVE FUN!!! (:
its time to show off your talents.
