after soo many weeks of er absence, it feels great to be blogging again...wad a great period of time this has been for me...first up...SYF and the preparations for it...second up...well..the title race between manu and chelsea and third up...is probably a tie between the NBA play-offs and the tests =(...well first up is the biannual SYF central judging for bands...though i really dunt want to put the blame on our lack of success at winning the gold with honours award with anyone, i still feel deeply that had we begun practising with purpose much much earlier, we would well be one of the few bands who have gotten the top award...however, as said by Matthew, our achievement, which is a gold award, is already testimony of our efforts that we had put in from arnd December...its like...during december...we are totally sh**...but thks to mr oura's patience and guidance, as well as our hunger and desire to stop the rot, we had managed to come out of our "shell" and do what i think we are best at, proving other people wrong...for that...kudos to the sec4s, and some sec3s, for your inspiration to the rest of us!!!and of course kudos to mr oura who did not give up on us all this while, even though our performance was less than satisfactory by his standards, which i think were lowered by a considerable amt...well...this year,despite wad headmaster had said, was not exactly a great year for the aesthetics grps in RI...firstly...RIMB failed to get the coveted GWH award...next, Chinese Orchestra managed to improve...but to only a gold this year...anyway, nice work CO!...both ensembles, guitar and string, managed to maintain their high standards with guitar improving to a gold with honours...lastly, and perhaps the most shocking of all, the Raffles Voices, after winning a prestigious gold award at a prestigious competition at the Czech Republic last year, failed to hit the heights that were expected of them and fell to a gold award only....however, the competition is over...and the next thing for us is our overseas trip...hope tt we will not make the same mistake as last time again...next up is the sporting arena...with juz 5 games left too play...united and chelsea are still fighting closely with only a tiny 3 points, which can be struck off quite easily, separating the two teams...the more interesting part is that while people may have gotten tired of a Chelsea vs United showdown the whole season, and hoping for a more interesting end to the season..they are likely to be disappointed...both teams will face off indirectly, and directly, in the Premier League as well as in the FA Cup Final...the CL final??possible...if Chelsea and United both hold out for draws in their second legs...so if chelsea and united face off on all 3 fronts...some people are going to cry(once, twice or even thrice) while others will be celebrating with their pockets full of money they had won frm betting(once, twice, thrice and even a fourth time(yes...some ppl had put their money on United winning the treble or Chelsea winning the Quadruple))...Next on to NBA...the Rockets will face off tmr against the Jazz hoping to recover frm their thrashing in the last match...all the best...well...shall end here...this has been really a wonderful period...and anyway...happy bdae ZYF...i dunt wanna tell you tt cuz later u might accuse me of ruining your bdae...heres Hertilon, signing off...
