Amazingly and interestingly, our cello blog is not dead! and it is probably the most alive out of the 5 sections. viola blog around the same aliveness la...

Anyway, about the outing that we are going to the national library (in case you don't know, we ARE going to national library). So we better start planning. By right fo shld be typing this cos i dunno wad we are suppose to do...

Anyway, we probably start at lunch? we meet there at like 12.30 or 1 and have cello section lunch. Then, we go to national library to probably go kope some scores. (P.S. steven are the scores there printable and borrowable?) We probably have a break like at 4? I mean, we cant like stone at the library for 5h right.

Actually, i dont know what im typing. haiz... steven, do us a favour and post on what we are going to do at national library. Thanks.

Cellist,

I apologise.

Well forgive me if I was too fierce during today's orch practice. But please do bear my words in mind. Shen will not be here with us anymore, (except for the upcoming concerts) and that we have to strive to uphold his legacy in the cello section. However, today's behaviour is really a bit out of shape, particularly when Dr. Yeo stop to conduct the violins.

Therefore, a few pointers to take extra note of during future orchestra rehearsals/ practices:

1. DO NOT talk among yourselves unecessarily.

This is very disturbing as all I could hear in front was murmurings and gigglings at the back, which both shows lack of concentration in practice. Hope this will be cut down to the very minimal.

2. DO NOT practice on your own when other sections are playing.

Fingering yes, but please NO pizz or bowing... You should know why. Respect others and they will respect you in return.

3. STOP immediately when the conductor STOP.

This has been a rather irritating thing for the conductors when they face an incooperative orchestra. Continuing to play even when the conductor signals to stop is literally RUDE, showing that we lack in DISCIPLINE!
As most of you know, the Hong Kong conductor will be coming on the 4th of September to inspect on us, and we certainly do wish to leave him a god impression. This is one of the KEY things that we'll have to strive to achieve. I'm sure no one will want to disgrace themselves on an international platform.

4. Stand up to see the bowing/ fingering markings of the stand in front.

From now on, i won't allow any passing of scores to the back, and the whole section should have unified bowing of every possible parts. Whenever there's a need for marking of bowings, please stand up quietly and check the markings of the stand in front.

Efficiency and discipline are the only things I look out for in all of you. So please bear all these in mind, and remind others if they forget as well. (as humans we are prone to forgetting things :) I'll try to post this on the orchestra blog too. Good luck cellist. We're going to have a tough year ahead.

Cheers,
Steven.

(P.S. by the way for this friday i'm planning to go to library to mug for the upcoming tests IF national day celebration releases early...anyone interested?)

I juz thought i would write some word of appreciation here, for our cello seniors who will be leaving us. T.T

Firstly to the mighty shen, Thank you so much, for being a great SL, leading the section to great heights, forgiving us so much when we misbehave during sectionals. Everything about u, we will miss. From your horny smile when we played murderer during march camp to using ice pack to cool urself. (: ultimately, your title as shen that brings the cello section close tgt. U may not have realised that, but i believe if u nvr existed, the cello section will be a vry disperse section, and with no motivations to constantly improve ourselves. However, all good things come to an end. It's time for u to leave the burden to us, sec 3. Though we will nvr match up to u, we will keep the spirit of cello section alive. Once again, a vry big thanks to you, run xian. You have been a good SL, friend, senior and quartermaster. I believe that we shld all agree, this blog will remain as all hail shen, and shen will be a title for run xian and run xian alone. Run xian, hope to see u in hcse.

To eng keat, well i think u are quite a good senior, helping me with homework quite some time. Your cheeks are nice to squeeze (: Although u tend to be less recognised, i think that, ur passion to hciso, is as strong as any other members. For instance, i can see that, u always place the orchestra in front u, doing ur part in duties before keeping up. And even in your last day, when u shld be enjoying urself, u still helped to keep some stands. Thanks so much (:

To keith. Well, although u dun come for orch frequently, i believe u do have ur reasons. I do see ur efforts in bonding with the section, u try to communicate with us through the section blog and the cca blog. Also, when we were in sec 1, during the EOY camp, when we tried to bond nicholas, u stepped in to stop us. During that time, i view u as a senior, who is quite mature. I wish u gd luck in ur future (:

Finally. to aaron. Thanks so much for helping (and at the same time suanning me, haha) during around may, when i was troubled by her. (everyone noes alrdy anw..) Ur advice and help was greatly appreciated, and so sry for being such a coward durign csm. If not for ur encouragement, i think i would not dare to pass her teh letter. Also, despite having to mug for o levels, u still came and support us during syf. Ur presence was greatly appreciated (: i am quite sure u will do well in o levels. All the best! :D
