Stop spamming!
Haha. I keep seeing
certain people spamming the flute section blog. -_-
Certain people like Vanessa & Ariel. 吃飽沒事做!
Haha whatever, spam all you like... I wash my hands off the management of this blog. I'm just here to post.
Anyway, I'm here to post what I posted in the band blog this afternoon at 12 plus. With changes here and there. :D
Lol, 11 hours later I'm here to write another entry related to the SIBF...
Okay! *flex fingers*
Ahem...
-
Hey, you people.
Just wanted to tell you guys some stuff.
Yesterday (23/7), as you people saw, I went to the Robotics Room along with a few other sec 4 seniors to see you guys during my recess period, to give you people some moral support. :)
Don't know if you guys were happy to see us. (You better be!)
But honestly speaking, I was very happy to be there.
Just felt so glad to be able to see you guys again.
Although you guys gave us seniors a lot of trouble! :0
(Haha let me complain a bit lah. Okay, back to main topic...)As you guys were playing, I felt kinda sad 'cause I'm no longer (officially) in band and this would also be your first competition without us sec 4 seniors.
But then, I also felt quite proud and happy for you guys, 'cause it's like hey. You people have finally grown up! :D
Okay, I'm not gonna spare you guys from my um,
harsh comments because you guys are my flute flute people! Don't care. Hahaha.
The list will begin with the playing I heard yesterday. And then it'll go offtrack but hey who cares! Haha.
1. Tone is airy.
2. Posture needs improvement.
Hold your flutes higher, don't be lazy!3. Playing isn't that bad, technique got improve here and there.
4. Can play louder. Use more air from diaphragm.
5. Work hard, 加油加油! :D
6. Cooperate with your SL & ASL, that is Nickie & Nazhifah. They say what, you do what.
7. Be good role models for the juniors. Don't slack! :0
8. Practise at homeeeeee. How many times do I have to say this?
9. Got anything don't know, MSN me, SMS me, call me. Or find Nickie. :D
10. Tell me when the end-of-year band camp is. Lol. *random*
Okay, I'll stop the nagging.
As a band, you guys were really quite good on the overall. *thumbs up*
And I know you guys were nervous lah.
I mean, even
I felt nervous for you people just standing at the back watching you! (And I'm not even playing.) Haha. :P
As I watched you guys from my classroom, walking along the corridor where the music room was, I seriously wished you guys all the best (almost wanted to run out of the classroom to wish you guys personally but it's impossible -_-), even messaged Nickie in case she brought along her hand phone. Don't know whether she showed you guys the message. But anyway, I just wanted you guys to know my heart was with you. :)
The message I sent Nickie:
I dunno if you got bring hp or not, but in case you got...
Just want to tell you all, I'm with you! My heart and soul are with you guys, so don't be nervous and watch Mr Tan!
GO KICK ASS, DO YOUR BEST AND DO ME PROUD OK!
Love you guys! :D
Jia you jia you jia you!!!
Remember posture and never blank out! Good luck my dears. :)
I was nervous throughout the day, and when Nickie told me you guys didn't do so well, I still never gave up hope. I told her not to lose faith.
At 9 plus, I received messages from various people telling me that you guys got bronze. I felt a mixture of emotions. Of course, I felt sad (don't tell me you were happy to get bronze?). But at the same time I was proud of you guys. Because you guys survived your first competition!!! Haha. :D
And what with the different environment. I know the RP stage is very huge and you guys were sitting quite far away from each other and are unable to hear each other.
My stand is - who cares if you got Bronze or Silver or Gold.
You guys actually went up there and did your best in spite of not being able to hear each other due to the acoustics. And got 74+%, which is really good due to circumstances. :)
My dear juniors, just let this be a learning experience for you all, don't take it as a failure. Have you never heard of 'with failure, comes success'? It's okay, never mind!!! Really.
Because there's still the SYF next year, and I'm sure you'll work even harder to achieve better results. You know what I mean.
I don't care, get a Gold for SYF! *mwahahaha*
Do us proud, okay! :D
Do me proud okay! I want to see this flute section getting better and better, not stagnating. Or even worse, getting worser!
I'll be back, trust me. :)
All the best & good luck people!
Cooperate with the band leaders, SL, Mr Tan & Mr Tang.
Most importantly,
always watch the conductor!
Take care! Rest well, study hard & continue to love band. (LOL)
Love, Juliana.

Make it work, guys! :)
Hey people.
Juliana here. Just wanted to let you guys know that there are only 6 practices and 17 days left before we fly off to China.
Sec 2s, you haven't experienced the feeling of going for a competition before, so I'm telling you now that you really need to work hard. The Beijing trip isn't just about having fun, and you yourself know your progress on those pieces right now - not good.
If you don't know your notes, READ your score, practise note by note. If you can't play a certain rhythm, SUBDIVIDE, tap the beats yourself. Practise slowly until you got it, then gradually increase the speed.
Please stop being complacent, don't feel contented about your progress right now. Because if this continues on, we aren't going anywhere with our playing, we'll just be getting a COP in Beijing.
Not only will we be letting the school down (after all they sponsored us), we'll be letting Mr Tan and the teachers down, not to mention that most importantly - we'll be letting OURSELVES down.
After all the practices and work we've put in, is COP all we're ever gonna get?
Besides, after we sec 4s leave, there's the SYF and July NBC. How are you guys going to manage all that if you don't get your basics right first?
You guys have it in you, just that you're lazy. You can do it ok? Believe in yourself.
Don't always hide behind us, be confident and play out. :)
Don't worry so much about getting scolded by Mr Tan. Even playing
wrongly is better than being
scared to play. Think of what I've said, then reply me ok. :)
We rely on you to practise at home so really, practise at home ok. Make things easier for you and us during sectionals. That way we'll be able to just work on the really 'cannot make it' parts. :)
Jia you.

HI people. i guess the juniors are somewhat unaware of this blog for flutes =X lols!nvm, one day will promote this blog to them :]] hahas.just wanted to post randomly :]] hahashope that flutes can remain in tiptop position when the sec 4's step down. seriously, i have no confidence tat i can guide the juniors well, because, for the past year, and the starting of this years, where four months have past, the juniors are quite good i can say, but not as good as they are supposed to be.basically i can say sectionals is a waste of time. cos everyone is like, basically slacking and all. but i will try my best to do everything i can to revive the flutes section.seriously, when the sec 4's step down, i guess i will miss u all damn alot man =xxxplus i dun think i can cope with four juniors cum 2 sec ones all alone with jiajun.but, tats part of life doesnt it. so, all the best to my beloved seniors for yr coming O levels at almost the end of the year.a few more days/weeks, its the stepping down of the graduating sec fours. i dun anticipate that day at all. omg =x will miss u all lots lots lots lots. take care :]]- nickie' :]]

Hello! :D
Actually this entry should have been up a long time ago, but I never got around to publishing it.
Anyway, here goes.
Welcome to the RSSW FLOBS blog.
Well, actually... Technically it shouldn't be 'RSSW' but 'RSSB'.
Oh but, never mind. :)
This blog was created by yours truly on 21 November 2007.
So every year, I'll celebrate its anniversary. Haha, that was just an idea.. :/
The origin of the url goes like this:
fl = flute
o = oboe
b = basoon
s = plural
---
This blog is supposed to be used for arranging sectionals, updates on the progress and such. :)
I hope it comes in useful.
