For the Sec 3s...

Dearest Sec 3s,

this will be rather sentimental entry...so, bear with the words, yea? :)

What a journey we have been together... I can still vividly remember the times when I gotta chase after some of you for not attending the PAP back in early 2008. Back then, some of you displayed lukewarm feelings toward Choir (and I am not blaming you)...

Gone were the days when we thought coming together to sing "Let's Celebrate Life" in sync was our best achievement. We cheered crazily at our efforts then.

Gone were the moments when we thought staying back twice a week to practise for "You Raised Me Up" were a big feat...

You guys have truly come a long way... pioneering the spirit of the YI CHOIR. Yea man, YOU ARE THE PIONEERS!!! Can you imagine that? *Give yourself a few seconds to allow that thought to really sink in deep...*Many many years down the road of life, as you think back, I'd bet it will be one of the sweetest memories one can ever have... :)

I think it's precisely that you are the Pioneers, you get to taste the whole process of getting started. It hadn't been easy... And I must say that without you guys, the YI CHOIR history wouldn't be so amazingly colourful...!

Often, mr wong and i would wonder how would the YI CHOIR be like once you people leave us? Would we still get a strong bunch of singers, just like you? Would we be able to produce such great voice, which you Sec 3s have been giving..? Would we have such a wonderful, fun-loving and sensible batch again..?

*tears swelling in the eyes*

Perhaps the next batch of Sec 1s would be better. Nobody knows. But one thing for sure,
NO ONE CAN REPLACE YOU, THE PIONEERS..! Not even the most vocally powerful batch...

You guys are simply fantastic..!! Thank you for bringing so much joy to us... thank you for blessing us with the most splendid SYF experience... thank you for bearing with us and holding on to us despite all the mishappenings...

Most importantly, thank you for BELIEVING & STAYING IN THE YI CHOIR...

Lastly, the NDP '09 would probably be the last major project the Sec 3s have with the Choir. I pray that it will be a tremendously enjoyable and unforgettable experience for all of you. May you cherish it and forge meaningful friendships in the midst of the 'drudgery'. hee!

Good worldly things dun last. May the year 2008 be the most memorable one for you. Hold on whilst it lasts... :)

~Loving you,
