YESTERDAY, we assembled in YTCCCO room at 7.30AM to get ready for the Yew Tee resident's day performance! Amazingly, many people were wide awake. Looks like some of them really camped there! (no -.-)
Songlist:
1. 农家小调 (junjie's solo)
2. 桃花过渡望春风
3. 小人物的心声

After the performance, a few of us went BULL RIDING! As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover! Even though Miin Wei is mini, but she actually overturned the whole bull!
Let's give her a round of applause!
After playing at the fun fair, we went for lunch at Yew Tee food court.

See you guys this Sat!

Day THREE (11 June 2009)

Welcome back, welcome back! As you know, DAY THREE is the MOST IMPORTANT DAY! It's the BARBECUE DAY (night)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were supposed to wake at 8am, BUT, the occupants of the females dorm slept RIGHT TROUGH and STRAIGHT TILL 8.30am! Piggies! Ha Ha. Of course, Mr Wong has his own way of handling this..... He grabbed a random Er Hu from the hall, stood at the door of the females dorm and played 良宵 till everyone in the room woke up. Ha Ha. Next time if your siblings don't wake up on time you can do this to them too =D

We had an orchestra practise straight after everyone woke up! After the practise, it was SOCKS WAR! Don't worry, we were told to bring extra socks, so the socks used were not smelly and sweaty..... Hmm..... Other than socks, the game masters added "items" like beach balls. A sock is worth 1 points, and a ball is worth.. I think 15 points? Anyway the team with the least points will win, so both teams got sweaty running around the place, picking up socks(and balls) in their territory and throwing them to the opposite team. However, some people decided to pick up all the socks and "one-shot" throw to the other team during the last few seconds. Sad (or happy) to say, that's not allowed. Ha Ha.

After the Socks War, we played a game which requires the groups to measure lengths of objects using MENTOS STRIPS! Example: Miin Wei (difficult "object". Ha Ha.), Mr Wong's car, Erhu's bow, Shao zi protector, area of whiteboard, height of table, length of clothes line (the paper said pole though! Mistake, mistake!), length of double bass, perimeter of the round basketball court and etc etc etc etc! In the end, some groups used the erhu bow as a "measuring tape" and some used rafia strings. Some even thought of using clothes! Ha Ha.

We were given time to cool down while waiting for the BBQ guests(parents of our members =D) to arrive, so some of us went to shower, and some (who were still feeling energetic) decided to play basketball! Oh, Housefly tried shooting the ball into the hoop backwards, and THE BALL ACTUALLY WENT IN! Tyco! Ha Ha.

After this, we rehearsed our performance, and when all the guests finally arrived, our Emcee (SDHH) welcomed the parents and introduced our orchestra! Yik Fung (student conductor) conducted us, and when all the pieces were played, Mr Wong gave a very short speech.

AND THE BBQ BEGAN!!!!!!!!!

There were Bee Hoon prepared by Mr Wong and JinJing's daddy (again!)!!! REAL NICE! Ha Ha. They even BBQ-ed the bee hoon with samba chili. Weird, but true, and yummy!

After BBQ, we played charades! The questions were funny, and the last persons/people's answers were EVEN funnier. Ho Ho! After that we had basketball, and this girl tripped while saving the ball, fell down and became Ming Wei's sister.

Well, that's all for day THREE!!!!
CHECK BACK FOR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!=D

Day TWO (10 June 2009)

With baggy eyes, tousled hair, stiff backs, we woke up early and started our day by dragging our feet to do some MORNING EXERCISES. We all went out to the round basketball court at Pasir Ris Park to do some stretches before proceeding to work out at the fitness stations surrounding the court. Then, we ran/jogged/walked round the park once before returning back to the camp. This time, everyone was (obviously) already awake - though I can't say WIDE awake.. Yet! We got our bread and eggs down our bellies and attended a course.

After the course, we played a game which requires the teams to make the toughest "web" to support the smallest group member for 1 minute without dropping him/her or breaking the "web". So obviously it was MIIN WEI and YUAN XIANG, and both groups successfully managed to sustain their weights with the "webs" for 1 minute, although Mini's group asked for more preparation time. Oh wells!

We proceeded to the hall after the web weaving game to play the next game - the balloon stepping game! Each person was given 2 balloons and 2 rafia strings and have to attach them to both legs. IT'S THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES, as both groups try to stomp out all the other team's balloons. BUT, when only a few people were left in the "arena", the game mode was changed to "sudden death". EVERYBODY WAS FREE TO "KILL" EACH OTHER!
Obviously the guys were all too excited, and went on killing their own brothers, but the girls were more loyal - they teamed up anyway and stamped the guys.. and "died" in the process. But it's ok, better than the guys. Ha ha.

Yay! Then we had lunch prepared with loooveee by our dear Stella, Jin Long, See Min and Wei Ni! Thank you for the wonderful Bee Hoon!

After the great lunch, we played WATER BOMB.
We're all split into 2 groups: 天地会 and 斧头帮! The rule was to snatch the other team's flag. Sounds easy? Nope, not quite! If you're hit with a bomb, you'll be thrown into jail (poor thing - kena bombed still need to be jailed) for 1 minute. During that one minute, all you can do is to watch and scream. Nothing else. Ha Ha.

Even after water bomb, we all (literally) SQUEEZED into the male toilet (cause it's the closest) and used up the remaining water bombs by.. Bombing each other in that small space? Ok, so anyway, everyone came out soaking wet and then we cleaned the field.

Then, we had practise. Self practise at first, with Xian Wei as our conductor! Halfway during practise, Yik Fung turned up, and he took over. Halfway through, MR Wong turned up, and we practised the 小小山贝河!

Yeah, after our practise, we waited for DINNER. then it was free time, and everyone played ball. Ha Ha.

Watch out for the upcoming video on Day TWO!!
See you guys =D

CAMP'S JUST ENDED! Fun eh?? Of course! Like what I did last year, I'm gonna disclose stuffs disclosed within these four days three nights! In the forms the camp's stated to be from 9 to 12 June. But, some people went on 8 June to check everything's in place.. And conveniently stayed there for a night. Ha Ha.

Day ONE (9 June 2009)

SO! We set off for Pasir Ris Holiday Camp at 1.25pm from YTCC and reached there at 2.15pm!Whoa, that's like 50 minutes! Ha ha! When we reached there, the "early birds" "welcomed" us and showed us our respective dormitories. SAD to say, the male dormitory have not changed at all! Same shape, same bed arrangements, same size and same colour as the previous music camps. White walls.. Stripey bedsheets.. Long and narrow walkway.. I pity the guys. HOWEVER, the female dormitory just underwent a 360 DEGREE TRANSFORMATION! *ding!*
What used to be a tight, crampy, squeezy, stuffy room is now spacious and well ventilated! The room was BEAUTIFUL!! Plus, the bedsheets are all PINK (good news or bad news?). I think they knocked down the wall linking to a previous storeroom and extended the dorm. Now the dorm's L shaped instead of the original rectangular shape (smaller and worse than the male dorm).

After everyone settled down and the instruments unloaded, Hui Chi briefed us on the 6 big camp rules.
1) No swimming in the sea
2) No leaving campsite after 2300hrs and without permission
3) 男的不可以进女的睡房 vice versa
4) If you want to leave the campsite, an adult is required to accompany you
5) No ball/frisbee games are to be played in the hall
6) Be in-charged of your own belongings.
(After that, some unknown people added 2 more rules:
7) No "eff" word. Understand?
8) Wash the plates and cups you used properly [something along that line])
Zi Xiang and Yuan Xiang's daddy's handphone numbers were written on the board too. Ha Ha. Uncle, becareful of prank calls!

(not gonna explain the game rules here~)

After the briefing, we played Slam the Textbook game!.. With the textbook replaced by a file. At the end of the game, 10 people who remained in the circle had to do a forfeit.. 7 WONDERS! Because there were just nice 5 girls & 5 guys, they were paired up in 'couples'. 7 wonders means they have to like.. put 7 body parts together. Don't think too far. HEAD SIDES, HANDS AND LEGS only. Ha Ha.
Look at the photo slideshow coming up and you'll understand what I mean!

Right after Slam the Textbook game, we played the Cat and Mouse game (I just give it a name). Guan Xian and Victor earned themselves a forfeit, and the forfeit was.. Guan Xian to feed Victor (with water from a mug) BLINDFOLDED. Sadly no water was spilt. Aww!

Then, we played I Guess I'm Famous game. EVERYONE had a chance to play! The player picks a card and let the audiences see. Without looking at it, the player has to guess what's written on the piece of paper (people/cartoon characters that are FAMOUS) by asking ONLY yes/no questions. There were Stefanie Sun, Hellboy,Michael Jackson, Harry Potter, Voldemort, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Pickachu, JJ Lin, Mr Wong, Doreamon and etc.

Whoo hoo!
After the games, we rested for a while while waiting for dinner.

---

I'll post Day 2, 3 & 4 next time! Meanwhile, keep checking back for slideshows, videos and HOT stuffs!

Ok no offence. That riddle just popped up in my mind. Oh! And just now during practise Housefly said a really lame joke about cheesecake. Shall write it here:

One day, a boy went to a library. He asked the librarian, "Can I have a cheesecake please?"
The librarian said, "But boy, this is a library!"
The boy then whispered, "Can I have a cheesecake please?"

LOL. Enjoy your Sunday!

Most pictues are taken during break time! During that period of time, we played charades, some acted as ah beng (._.) and some elmo-ed. All of us ate chicken fried rice dinner! It was really really nice! The fried chicken was VERY CRISPY, and the fried rice makes you wanna fly. Oh - breaking news: All of us were given 2 Chicken wings per person. However, someone ate EIGHT CHICKEN WINGS! wow!
After dinner, it was the performance! Our performance was well received. Well done, everyone!!

2008-12-06T22:51:00.002+08:00

YO GUYS!
A pity I can't show you the pictures on the games day, because I don't have them! But I can describe the games to you! =D
TODAY WAS YTCO's second GAMES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Attendance was great today! 30+ people turned up. whoo hoo!
No instruments today! Totally no sound from any instruments today! wow! just games ALL THE WAY from 3-6pm, sharp! We started off with "Slam the textbook" game.
Rules:
form a big circle with chairs. everyone has to have a chair except the person holding the book (A)
(A) has to grab a person (B) from the circle and hold his/her hand. A random player will take out (B)'s chair.
(B) has to grab another person from the circle and the chain continues (but only ONE chair'll be taken out).
When (A) slams the book on the floor, the chain of people IN the circle will have to rush to find a seat. Thus, 2 people will remain in the circle.
The 2 people will remain in the circle till they find a seat!
Game ends when time is up! =D

Next was "Scissors, paper, stone"! Not the lame game you're thinking of now, but.... oh wells! Just read on.
We made a straight line with chairs across the room. Then, we were all split into 4 teams.
Teams 1 & 3 will "battle" first, while teams 2&4 will be the audiences and help hold the chairs in place.
player from team 1 = (A)
player from team 2 = (B)
(A) takes his place on the chair at the left side of the line (team 1's seat), (B) takes his place on the chair at the right side of the line (team 2's seat).
Both will "sit" their way to the other team's direction till they touch each other. This is the time "scissors paper stone" comes into the game.
The person who wins (supposedly [A]) will move on as far as he can go towards team 2's seat, but (B) has to get out of the line, and another player will take his place and "sit on". The player that reaches the chair nearest to the opponent wins his group a point.

I can't remember the next game's title. Anyway, the rules are real simple. read on:
everybody was split into four teams different from the scissors paper stone's. team names: Lemon, Apple, Orange, Pear.
each groups will send a representative up to PEEL LEMONS (first part of game)!!!
The fastest peeler wins. Jun Jie, Yuan Xiang, Zi Xiang and Mr Bean went up! Either Mr Bean or Zi Xiang won, I couldn't hear that well - TOO MUCH SCREAMING! whoo hoo!
Second part of game was more fun! THE PEOPLE WHO PEELED THE LEMONS HAD TO EAT THEM!! HAHA! And the person who is the most expressionless by the end of the game wins!
All the representatives won, alright! but they still had sour tongues by the end of the games day. Ha ha!

Next game is something like charades. Also similar to a facebook game, "sketch".

players stay in their "fruits" teams. each teams send a different representative for all the rounds to draw on the whiteboard words, phrases or names given by the gamemasters. The person cannot write words or communicate with "audiences".
The person draws out the words, phrases or names, and his team members have to guess the meaning of his drawing. All within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the person can still can still add on to his drawing, but the guess is now open to ALL the other teams.
Some words/ phrases/ names given by gamemasters. I can't remember all the people who drew, so I'll just write "the player":
"Mr Wong" (The player drew a "snowman" with a conductor's baton. HAHA.)
"洪湖水组曲"(I remember this one! The player just drew two curved lines, and Jing shouted out the answer. Ha Ha.)
"Yew Tee" (The player just drew a dot and and Fang Yin shouted out the answer. TYCO! HAHA!)
"上海滩" (The player drew an arrow pointing up and a beach)
"Michael Jackson" (The person drew a random guy with a mic, and no one knew what the person was drawing, till someone shouted out the answer randomly)
"fei yu qing" (the person drew a random guy looking upwards, and the group guessed it. WOW?)
"Nokia" (the person drew a handphone only. Cause no one's allowed to write words, so when the guess was opened to all the groups, a person from apple guessed the answer. How tyco!)
"Wei Ni" (the person drew a girl with a half complete double bass. HAHA!)
"SYF" (the person drew a concert hall and nothing else. Another random and tyco guess from an audience. sigh)
"明月几时有，把酒问青天" (angela guessed it! I can't remember what the person drew. too complicated. HAHA)

There are more games after this, but I was gone by then so..... Too bad! Gotta listen to gossips to get more scoops. HAHA!
The post shall end here. GAMES DAY AGAIN NEXT WEEK! YAY! And we're going to somewhere else.. most probably? Oh wells. GO, GAMES/WELFARE COMMITTEE! And get more cadbury boost next time. HAHA!

2008-12-01T17:27:00.002+08:00

As Mr Wong said: 没有人欠你们几百万，所以全部人一定要用愉快的心情来演奏曲子! So, we all used 愉快的心情来演奏曲子... But not for long! After half the song, some of you began to look as if 有人欠你们几百万! Please take note that this video is not to humiliate you. It's to correct your mistakes by letting you look at your own facial expressions. Thus everyone must SMILE MORE so the judges will be "mesmerized" by our smiles and then give us more marks! Yippee!

2008-12-01T14:42:00.005+08:00

Looks familiar?

2008-09-03T21:21:00.004+08:00

Hello guys! Sorry, didn't post yesterday because I was very busy with work. But I am back today with memories from Day 3&4 from YTCCCO Music Camp 2008!!! Get ready guys.....

DAY THREE (31st AUGUST 2008)

Highlight for that day: BARBECUE PARTY!!!

-JUMP-

When the parents arrived in the evening, THE PARTY STARTED! Our very "handsome" Mr Tan Jun Wei was our MC for that night, and the whole program started off with us playing 小刀会 for the parents!
Then, those people who kena-ed forfeit on the second day "played back" some scenes from our previous days during camp in a News reporting form, showing the parents how Mr Lao Wen and stick man were late and the bus uncle had to wait, how our male members danced around in the boys bunk before the concert in day 2 and the process of our WATER BOMB game! It was real fun! Our other members cheered and yelled comments at every move the actors made!
After that, our chairman Miss Peggie Chua BBM gave a welcome speech, and then THE BBQ BEGAN!

Relax, because there were no chicken cutlets okay? Ha Ha. Jun Jie did his homework, and we had GREAT FOOD like ABALONE mushrooms, Chicken chops, Squids, MARSHMALLOWS, Prawns etc. etc. etc!
Miss Peggie also ordered buffet, so we ate till our stomachs had no rooms for more food!
During the dinner, we played with sparklers and hung lanterns on trees!

After the BBQ, we set out some times for parents to mingle with our CO members! The BBQ committee organized some games like memory game (remember everything that's written on a piece of paper and them write them all down in a limited period of time)and the Train game.
After the games, we all formed a circle, and the high guys from ytco danced and high-ed in that circle. During the dance, Jun Wei did a lousy pole dance. So, our chairman DEMONSTRATED how to do a correct POLE DANCE! OMG! It was so good! So, Jun Wei had no choice but to do it better. Ha Ha. Go Ms Peggie!

Anyway, before the bus came, we had a short "CO songs karoke session" (parents get to choose whatever songs they want us to play).

Yeah, that's about it for the BBQ!!!!!!!

Oh yah! Another breaking news!
After the party, the night was still very young, so not many people went to bed yet. Our shyest member in the orchestra (who just sits there and laugh along during practice, but talks only when he wants the rosin or the tuner) suddenly became VERY sociable! Ok, not in the form of talking, but he actually sat among a group of GIRLS at the picnic benches near the BBQ pit after the party until 2am!!!!!! Wow!
I shall not let out any names to protect the identity of Flirt Prince.

KEEP IT UP, ZHI KAI!

**

DAY FOUR (1st SEPTEMBER 2008)
This day is even shorter than the first day! Woke up early in the morning (no dropping-down from-bunk-bed casualties anymore, don't worry) to pack up and prepare for check out!!

That was the day where many members get an idea of what post camp depression tastes like. How sad! But anyway, don't miss each other too much because we still have daily Saturday practices and performances!

**

That's all for the YTCCCO Music Camp 2008!

gonna post more about the camp another day, so check back every now and then for upcoming photos and videos!

till we meet again~

2008-09-02T19:21:00.002+08:00

This is the 脚车篇 made up of random photos from the camp!!! For more information, check out the posts!

Hello guys! I believe you guys miss Music Camp as much as I do right? But don't miss it TOO MUCH till you've camp depression, or else YTCO will be known as The Depressed CO. Wow, The Depressed CO. Imagine that.

Anyway, armed with a PC and fond memories of the camp, the blogmaster is back to summarise the whole camp for you guys! Get ready, cause I'm gonna disclose stuffs disclosed within these four days three nights!

Day ONE (29th August 2008)

Basically, this day is pretty short(everyday is really short if you have fun, actually) because we(minus logistics and non-schooling members. Logistics played truant!!! Ha Ha.) assembled at YTCC at 2pm due to schools' Teachers Day Celebrations. Those who were early played ball games(Suddenly Volley Ball's so hot! We brought two there!) and chatted till the bus finally came! However, our Mr Lao Wen and Stick man were late! And that's not what we were angry about. They even brought KFC along with them!!! And didn't ask us if we want a not. Ahh!

Leonard and Jun Wei entertained us by talking loads of crap. But no one's listening! So, they ended up playing songs for us from their mobile phones instead(put a mic at the speaker).

After 45minutes of bus ride, we reached the Pasir Ris Holiday Campsite! Zi Xiang briefed us about the camp rules and stuff, and then we all went to our own-gender-dormitories to choose beds and unpack our stuff! It was free and easy for a while, and most of us played Volley Ball(I said it was hot!).

The food arrived early at about 5.15pm, and we all settled down from our ball games to enjoy our Fried Rice.
Oh, there was an incident then involving the food! When the food arrived, the caterer DID gave us the food, but he didn't give us the cutlery! ~~So, we had to use our hands to eat.~~ Lucky JinJing(a dangerous F&B in-charge.) contacted the caterer in-time, and he came back from wherever he was to give us the spoons. Ha Ha.

At night, we had a YTCO Dancing Contest! YTCO's very own "so you think you can dance"! Check out the video on "舞蹈篇" for more!

Partayed all night! At 12mn, most of us were asleep le! Some of us stayed up late to MUG(because O levels and A levels are coming!), and others stayed up to chat and play!

Day TWO (30th August 2008)

Crawled out of bed early in the morning to do our morning businesses(One idiot from the Girl's Dormitory just dropped down from the top of the bunk bed! So convenient! Maybe next time everyone should try it!)!

After rising and shining, we went for a morning walk/jog/run around the Pasir Ris Park!

When we got back to the campsite (full of sweat and energy), we had breakfast prepared by the F&B committee(don't worry, this time we only bought 2 tins of Milo for the camp. No diabetes, relax)! After filling our stomachs with breads and eggs and kaya and margarine, We played some games!

Lunch AND cutlery arrived early this time too, and we had lunch at 11.30am! After lunch, we prepared for the River Valley High CO's concert, 知音IV!
Because the bus uncle was late, our male members entertained themselves by PARTY-ING in the Male Dormitory. Wow! Jun Jie high again man! Oh yah, this year's Music Camp right, JunJie was VERY VERY high!!!!!! If there's a "Highest member prize", Jun Jie will surely get it!

When the bus finally arrived, we left for Singapore Conference Hall for the matinee show! When the concert started, and all the performers went on stage, Tie Ning went all RED because someone shouted "铁蛋"! Ha Ha.

Overall, the performance was GREAT! Especially one of the songs! The "Ode to Poetry". It was really nice(hand survey in bus)!

If you want to know what happened at night, catch the 战争篇 coming soon!

I will post Day 3 and 4 tomorrow, so STAY TUNED!
The videos will be posted later.

See you soon!

Yo guys!

I don't know if you know that the percussion ensemble had a practise last Friday, 8/08/2008. Actually, they practised their initial song for the National Day performance. But, at 5.30pm, Mr Wong changed it to another song! So, the whole percussion ensemble had to practise till very late. Aww, poor little things *puppy eyes*! Oh btw, housefly, you know you saved someone on that day? Hur Hur. If you wanna know more please find out yourself. Ha Ha.

NATIONAL DAY

Haw! When we reached Yew Tee at 7am with bleary eyes and running attire, we saw those who came early struggling with the lock! That irritating lock! Someone please change it! Or next time, we will call uncle to remove the whole door for us to go in.

Finally, the lock gave way and we got in! Ha Ha. Forgot which hero opened the lock, but anyway, thanks! Without you, we wouldn't get to enjoy the air con. Ha Ha. Then, we changed our shirts to the national day tee provided by YTCC.

When Mr Wong came, the percussion ensemble practised their piece for the performance. After a while Mr Wong got a sudden inspiration from a Tai Ji master 张三丰, and added in 太极拳 in the beginning of the piece. Ha Ha. Cool man!

At 8 am, we proceeded down to the YTCC hardcourt for the flag raising, morning workout (the great Singapore workout) and the walk-a-jog! When we reached the hardcourt, we did our own exercises led by Jun Wei, Jun Jie and Wei Ni! The theme of our exercise was Random! Jun Jie did Tai Ji, Jun Wei thought of dance steps to national day songs and Wei Ni did whatever that came into her mind.

When MP of Yew Tee, Mr Yeo came, the flag raising ceremony began. After that, he gave a few speeches. Then, the great singapore workout started!! We entertained ourselves with extra sound effects during the workout, such as the "1, 2, 3, 4, woo, woo, woo, woo!" workout step. I don't know how to describe that step in words, but anyway, it's just "1, 2, 3, 4, woo, woo, woo, woo!"

After the workout, everybody went jogging! Only those who are going to perform stayed back to decorate the instruments with Singapore flags! Hur Hur.

When everyone got back, the performers practised the Tai Ji steps behind the stage while waiting for their turn to go up. Others went to game stations, and those who were left behind entertained themselves by playing with Mimosa.

After the lucky draw, our percussion ensemble went up to perform their piece! When reaching the end of the song, the rest of us not performing went up to stage to prepare ourselves for the cheer! Right after the ending, we cheered the YTCO CHEER! You can look up the cheer in older posts.

After the whole program, we went to Yew Tee foodcourt for Brunch! There, we saw our MP Mr Yeo, and the CCMC there! We were so lucky, because Mr Yeo treated us to Brunch! Hur Hur. Thank you Mr Yeo!

A note of warning, if you are reading this, PLEASE DON'T FALL OFF YOUR CHAIR, even though it's quite unbelievable.

We went to JinJing's house to MUG after Brunch! I didn't go, so I don't know what happened there. If you wanna know more, ask around. Ha Ha.

That's all for yesterday! See you soon!

Our new friend! Hey Flirt King, go get her phone number! =D

The 43rd National day celebration performance at the hard court opposite Lot1

After performance, back in co room! All gone crazy=D

***

HELLO GUYS~

Today, we had another performance at the hard court opposite Lot 1! It's for the 43rd Hong Kah GRC National Day celebration. We performed 4 songs: 快马加鞭，上元节，龙的传人 and one last surprise piece, Rhythm of the rain! Why Rhythm of the rain? Because it was SWELTERING HOT, so we wished for RAIN! But in the end also no rain, so, never mind!

After the performance, while waiting for the coach to come and pick us up, we watched some dancers dance social dance. Flirt king fell in love with the girl with a blue top and white back(also the one nearest to us). HAHA. Flirt King 看到一个，爱一个。无药可就

When we got back to YT, we played out signature game, the 海产拳! So we got our new comers: Ming wei and Yun Li to play with our old birds(oops, no offence). Ha Ha. Oh yah, during the 海产拳, angela and jeannine were chosen to go up mah, and then they played something else. The Chicken rice 拳? Something like [translated] "wanna eat chicken rice?" "what time is it?" and so on. I'm not sure of their hokkien in cantonese slang, and everyone didn't know what were they talking about, so, we played back our 海产拳. Hur Hur.

Then, we played our long abandoned game: the coin passing game! In the end, we had four people sitting in the ring -.- I've uploaded a video on the game! It's somewhere in the beginning, so only got 1 catcher. It was all very crazy! You'll know it if you were there. Ha Ha.

That's all for today!! see you soon =D

HELLO GUYS! Practise today as usual! Oh yeah, today, Wen Qiao got a new name! The new name is 龚角玮. Read it in hokkien and you'll understand. Ha Ha.

We were joined by a new member today! He is Jun Jie's friend from Fu Hua - his name is Ming Wei! Welcome to YTCO!

Today, we practised for the 3/8/07 performance! After that we practised the songs for next year's concert and a few random songs.

After the practise, we celebrated the June, July and August born members' birthdays! I'm sure you'll agree with me the chocolate cake's nice right? Even looking at the picture now makes me feel hungry... Ahh! Even though I had rice just now...

Then, our percussion ensemble practised their chosen piece for the percussion ensemble competition (I think so?). It was REALLY NICE! Ha Ha. Too bad I don't have a video of Yik Fung rotating his body while drumming. Or all of you will go 'cool man'. Ha Ha.

`Ellooooo! Yesterday (Saturday), we went to De La Salle Primary to perform for their Cultural Night! We played ALOT of songs(mostly 随机应变 one. haha.) like 龙的传人，Doreamon, 风筝乐，上海滩，高山青 etc.

Things went quite well yesterday, if not because of the rain!!!! It was raining yesterday, and we still performed outdoors in their parade square (is it called parade square?). So, unfortunately, all of us and our instruments were wet!! Let's hope the instruments don't spoil that easily!

So, after their guest of honour set the balloons free(I want the purple one!! Let's go to space and search for it! Should be orbiting round the earth by now. Or maybe it just burst halfway up. My science is not good, but I think it will burst? Well nvm! It will come back most probably black, because by the time, it will be burnt already. ), we played 龙的传人! After we played all the songs, our 2 MCs (whom didn't wear the attire :X, so they become MC! hahaha!) explained about the chinese orchestra instruments! But halfway through, two very enthusiastic MCs from De La Salle School's parent support group took over the mike and hosted instead. When they talked about a particular instrument, example the cello, someone from the cello section will play a short piece from a random song.

The funny part was when the MCs talked about double bass. Mr Wong told JinLong to play "stand by me", and HE CAN'T EVEN PLAY IT RIGHT! HAHAHA! Ok nvm, probable because of nerves, but STAND BY ME! C'mon, everyone's playing it :D

Right, so after we got down the stage and prepared to go back to YT, IT RAINED. Luckily, we had Jinjing's very kind daddy to help transport big instruments like timpani and yang qins back to YT. The rest of the people had to wait for the rain to stop to walk back xD

After everyone's back, we practised Bangawan Solo for the concert next year! This time round, we were joined by Yuan Xiang's daddy! He played the Er Hu with us yesterday for practise! haha, welcome, uncle! Hope you like Yew tee. (and can stand the horniness and crappiness of our members).

That's all for yesterday, I'll update about the national day performance some other times, so check back!

Good bye, see you guys~
