Dearest TMSCO members!
Luo Yi here. Again. LOL.
Today some of us went to receive the results. FYI, we achieved a Gold award. Before receiving the results, I told myself repeatedly that I would be satisfied with a Gold. I told myself that I would cry out of joy when we received a Gold. I told myself I would celebrate if we got Gold. Turns out, I was just lying to myself. When the results were released, I was devastated. We were devastated. We cried and cried and cried all the way to the MRT. It's kinda funny if you think back about how it was like now. We cried so hard that passer-bys probably thought we garnered a COP or a Bronze for our SYF. LOL. But yeah, we were really sad. Crushed. Emotionally drained.
But TMSCO, it's time to move on. You know, we're the first school to perform in the whole of Singapore! It's already very lucky that we're able to get a Gold. And also, probably because we're the first school that's why the following schools behind us got Silver. This means that yes, we've set a high standard for this year's SYF (: And besides, what's so bad about a Gold? I think a Gold is magnificent!
People, give yourself a pat on the back (or pat on the head if your hand is too short)!
(Here's something that most people would say when they want to encourage people who had just broken up with someone. LOL. I think we can also relate to it too!)
Don't be sad because it's over. Be glad because it happened.
Like what I posted on my FB status, This award has degraded us on paper. But really, have we been degraded? All I see now is a tighter CO with more people with a drive to excel and improve. Degradation? Bullcrap. This Journey isn't over, TMSCO. It's only begun.
The title of our set piece was aptly named. SYF IS a Journey. And in TMSCO, it's a Journey filled with fun, laughter and ultimate weirdness. I mean, we mass-hugged liulaoshi in the middle of the road while crying and laughing at the same time! What could be weirder and cuter than this? ;D
We really owe a lot to liulaoshi. Everything we've managed to achieve, it was all due to his hardwork. Even though a lot of you always complain about him scolding and nagging, I saw and felt nothing but gratitude towards him today. It was a truly touching moment when we all went to hug him and he played along with our gayness. Really. As much as we love complaining, we share an amazing bond with him. This bond, I believe, you can't find it in other COs.
(Hope everyone had smsed him like I told you guys to!)
Ok this is about all. I'm truly proud of you guys. Year 2011 SYF - Gold. Congratulations and please, keep up the good work! ;D
THE ORCHESTRA
Temasek Secondary Chinese Orchestra (TMSCO) was established in the 2000.
It expanded from a plucked string ensemble to a full-fledged orchestra in the year 2001.
Under the baton of Mr Cheng Chung Hsien, TMSCO enjoyed a successful flight achieving promising results in the SYF Central Judging between April 2002 to September 2008.
Now having Mr Liu Bin leading this army, TMSCO will definitely continue to strive for excellence and is determined to scale to even greater heights.
The orchestra now consists of over 90 enthusiastic members, with us six professional instructors.
