Our BIG day- SYF actual date and time

2010-03-12T21:37:00.003+08:00

Dear CO parents and boys,

I just went for SYF balloting today. We got the 1st slot for SYF CO which means first day, first school.

There are some changes this year. Results will only be announced after all schools taking part are done which means we have to wait for 2 long days after we go for our SYF.

Ist slot seems to be a lucky sign but honestly I am feeling very jittery about it. Everyone tells me we will be setting standard for the rest of the school and I really hope we will do so well and give a deep impression to the judges till they will still remember us at the end of 3rd day of central judging.

We have to work extra hard now! Hang in there! 1 more month! So the more I need your cooperation to attend ALL CO practices.

Have faith and confidence! We will be able to make it!

Let's pray very hard that everything will go smoothly on that day and all of you will perform very well!

Date and time of CHS CO SYF: 20 April, 10.30am

Love,
杨老师

Hip Hip Hurray! :D

2009-11-14T11:16:00.004+08:00

Dear CO boys,

Hope you had fun yesterday!!! Our soccer team won the 1st for the soccer match!!! Well done, boys! The rest of CO boys, you did a good job cheering for them as well! The other groups were "complaining" that we were too serious and brought drum down too. Haha!

Now then they know we practise hard and play hard too! haha!

Hope you enjoy the bubble tea too! Thanks to Mr Loh (鲁老师) for treating them bubble tea! :D Remember to say thank you when you see him around in school. : )

Remember to call your friend and bring a friend for CO practice during holiday. Our sheng player (the only sheng player) has left. We need to train a newbie to take over his role badly. Let's not let this affect us. Everyone try your best to look for one. I will try my best to look for a replacement as well. : )

See you all next week for the practice on Monday (1.30pm - 5.30pm).
Please take note that practice on Tues is cancelled. : )

Have a good weekend!
