HELLO EVERYONE! as we all know, SYF's over.. we got a Bronze.the exact opposite of what everyone expected. Nevertheless, everyone knows that we did our best. So do not be too upset about it okay? Since SYF is over already, the current EXCO finally has the time to begin setting up the Alumni Club. We are still in the process of starting everything up so that we could all get in touch with one another easily. Besides this blog, we've got the online forum set up by Yi Hee. And i've set up the facebook group. so feel free to add yourself in there, so that we can inform you peeps about our upcoming events and stuffs. Anyways, here are the links:
if the link here cannot work.you all can refer to the links that i've linked to the blog too! so hope to hear from all of you soon!:D

HELLO EVERYONE! before i start blogging about anything else.Here's some advertisement for Republic Poly's Guitar Ensemble [GEnRE]! they're going to have their annual concert this coming Saturday 21st March! i hope most of you can go down and support them for their concert as a kind of learning journey and guitar outing too!:D. Also, not forgetting they loaned out 3 alto guitars to us for SYF! For details continue reading:
Just in case you all can't see what's written on the poster: Saturday 21st March 2009, 7.30pm @ The Republic Cultural Centre (Studio)-->somewhere near the place where we had the "concert" that day at republic poly Tickets at $6 each tell me (Wee Kie) if you all wanna go by 16th March 2009, Monday by 5pm latest.if not i guess, call their ensemble ppl :D Debbie at 9680 6424 or Hasanah at 9067 6330!
Let the 30-strong team comprising members and alumni of RP’s Guitar Ensemble brings you their much anticipated evening of music concert themed around popular movie hits! (e.g. Twilight, Princess mononoke, Kung Fu Panda: Panda Po and many more) These young guitarists will also surprise you with their clever use of different instruments such as flute, guzheng and dizi (chinese bamboo flute) to create vivid sound spectacles to enthral your senses. Be on the look out for the music piece “Liu Guang Fei Wu” (main theme from The Legend of White Snake) arranged by the ensemble’s instructor, Mr. Alex Lee that showcases the versatility of guitar timbre.
yupps.so that's about it for the concert..CONTINUE READING! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ohkay.the blog was being neglected again and blog's gathering dust.! for more than 2 months! many things happened. First and foremost, WELCOME JC1s to Guitar Club! i know this is kinda late but still.better late than never! hope you peeps are enjoying guitar..i'm sure after SYF,you guys will have more fun!keep up the hardwork:D
and next i guess will be PREPARATION and PRACTICES for SYF we had a short practice at NUS and a so-called exchange with AJC and YJC..like what Mrs. Teo said, we did sound better and louder and AJC and YJC are getting worried.but remember we had a few NUS GE people backing us up as well..so we need to continue PRACTICING HARDER, CORRECT THE MISTAKES and MEMORIZE the pieces.
the more recent one will be competition @ Republic Poly TRCC. i guess we were expecting ourselves to not win anything...but we've gotta change this mindset. other ensembles are indeed better than us.but that's only for now and not forever.most of us have only 1 year to learn the basics of guitar and start learning for SYF. and some of you JC1s have prior trainings before that but have lesser time to master the songs. anyways, that's not the point..we've gone and realised how much we're lacking behind.but i'm sure we've learnt a few things from both the concert and competition. remember, being the last and not winning is not the crux of the whole event. what matters most is the process. do not take it as a failure.every step we take, it's an EXPERIENCE. we LEARN from our EXPERIENCES. it was truly a memorable experience for all of us isn't it? but i guess we really learnt from our experience in one way too.we became more focused on the next practice and we achieved much more improvements than we usually do. there was a feeling of satisfaction in most of us right? even Mr. Chua said our Katioucha piece definitely has chance for a GOLD already. next will be brushing up on Katioucha and focusing even more on Night Music. all we need is just determination, discipline and enjoy the process. together we can make guitar practices fruitful and fun! we'll pursue our goal together as one. we've got the best teachers and instructor with us as well. they are there to scold us if we need, to motivate us and guide us along through all these. WE ARE ONE! remember our goal :GOLD! (with honours --> that's what bro paul wishes for).We can, we will and we must! Keep a positive mindset throughout and never let our confidence falter, despite the tough challenges some of us face at times.
okok.enough of my propaganda rantings. jia you everyone!
We persevere and therefore we will acheive. - Wee Kie -
