Dear choir,

i am sorry that u missed your GOLD. but the main thing was becuase you were
very tensed.
be encouraged that Mr nelson Kwei and Ms lim aihooi, both conductors of Gold
wif honours choir, took the trouble to come to me and tell me that they
actually expected you to get a GOLD. probably becasue it was the first day,
so you lost out on that.

don't forget, you were busy preparing for the 40th anniversary, bfore the
MArch hols. to be able to come this far is already very good.

i am proud of you. you were already winners before you went to SYF. too bad
we didn't get it, but so what.

learn from it and move on.

i will see u guys soon.
will be going away to rest for a week, then we will come and celebrate ok?

yitian's and boon jun's messages are also very encouraging. yep.

boon jun:

YO everyone, miss yee is right, all of you are already winner before u all went to SYF, all of the seniors are very proud of the unitedvoices of PHS!BeliEve ME..U all have already get a Gold in our heart.YOu all have made great improvement since yr 2003 and i am sure u all will keep on improving and we shall really get a GOld one day,this is for sure.
We shall not feel guilt or angry as what is done cannot be undone,continue feeling guilt and angry will bring us no where, we shall look towards the future and rmb any lesson learned in this incident.muz »¯±¯·ßΪÁ¦Á¿!
FOr the sec 2s,1s n some of the sec 3s,there's still another SYF for u all,workhard for it!We hav FAith in u all!Do not be worried by the graduating of seniors in 2 yrs time as u all are going to be the seniors the juniors are going to depend on next time,believe in u urself!
For the sec3s n 4s, what u all can do is to come back after graduating to help them.MAke the juniors to love choir like u all did,tell them the story that u all hav been through,make them hav a sense of belonging to choir and tell them why are we aiming for a gold next time.Come back often to make choir more interesting,we can organise camp, help to teach sectional or bond them together to hav what yitian said, teamwork.We can even form a choir alumni to support choir rite??So do not be sad that u all hav no more chance to take part in SYf anymore,u all still can contribute in many ways!
Well,i think should COngrat HIHS for getting a GOLD,we shld be happy for them instead of comparing ourselves whether we are better then them not rite?
There's still a long long way to GO!so JIA YOU and nv give up easily!yea!LEt us now take a break before we continue to workhard for the SYF in 2007!
lastly...guys, u all did a good job really, really shld celebrate!
UP coming activity for choir will be JUNE camp!!!yea~i hope all of u all will take part k??Esp the sec1, ha.

Dear Choir,

I'm sure you guys might be bearing guilt and anger for what
we get in the competition yesterday. And I'm sure you guys might
know by now how hihs did. However, what I really want to say now, is
that you guys will treat this experience as part of a lesson in your
life, as most importantly, to the juniors, the next syf competition
in year 2007.
If you might wonder how you guys did that day, the answer is:
not all are puting in the best. I know the commited ones will know
from their hearts that, not all the members are actually putting in
the best efforts, especially during practices. As Miss Yee's mention
it before, everything is within our reach... but its just whether
we're putting in our best effort a not. And bear in mind, putting in
your effort means that everything you got. That requirs commitment,
and focuss. Do what is right at the right time. Don't talk during
practice! Is that what we always told you? But why haven't people
take that in mind?
But most importantly, commitment doesn't comes from only one
of you. It takes the entirely choir to do so! Everything just
applies the same in your studies, your class project. Having only a
few commited ones don't make things best.
I'm sure you yourselves know in the first place that, our
standard is not exactly far from hihs. In fact, by just comparing
our results with them, we're just a step, a few marks away to gold!
You see how teamwork really make such a difference? Can you imagine,
scoring 49.5 when you're just a mark away from the passing grade?
Missing a second when you're just that amount of time away from the
gold medal in running contest? Every person make a difference in the
competition in choir, and if you think you're just that tiny piece
that can just don't exist.. why on earth bother to come and
practice? Why on earth singing the first place in syf?
You yourselves can see how close that gold is away from us.
How close! But somehow we're can't even control those obstacles
which in fact, is within our control - discipline and commitment.
What I really hope now, is you guys to know:

To achieve a common goal in life, it doesn't take only practices and
hard work. What's really required of you, is whether you heart is in
it to achieving that. What follows is your commitment, right down
from your heart. Never underestimate teamwork.. because it really
plays a very big part to achieve that goal.

We've learnt a lesson, and the seniors can never have syf
again. For now, it's really the junior's job to learn to face such
situation when syf comes in 2007. To those sec ones and twos who
didn't get involved in syf, it's really your job now to learn when
the time comes. For the others.. I hope that these would be a tip to
rely on when you're aiming to achieve something you want.
For now, there's no use crying over spilled milk but most
importantly, you learnt from your mistakes and never do it again.
Why brood over that when people never put their efforts in the first
place? Be contented with your God for what you're achieving -
maintaining a silver and keeping miss yee with us.
Really thank Miss Yee who never give up on us and still
trying to help us during the period before syf. I thank Mr Nah, for
helping us and I thank the seniors like yang kai, and our teacher-ic
who never failed to keep us going til today. I thank God for
blessing us with such helpers we'll never forget despite our
wiltfulness during practices.
