Practice Schedule + Poor Attendance + Tickets

Hi all. There is an update to the holidays practice schedule. It is available at the RICO Yahoo Group.

If you have not yet joined, the URL is http://asia.groups.yahoo.com/group/ri_chinese_orchestra/. Join asap. The Practice Schedule can be found under the Files section.

Also, a lot of you didn't come for the sectionals yesterday without informing me in advance. From the DB section, Lawrence. From the Cello section, there are Ian, Zhong Hao and Gabriel.

In the event that you have a valid reason for not coming, please use the Practice Excuse Form which can also be found under the Files section at the RICO yahoo group. Download it, print it out, fill in the form, and attach any verification documents you have.

To Shi Kang: Yes, your arm is injured, but you have to use the Practice Excuse Form too. Attach any MC which certifies that you are unable to play the instrument.

To Tony and Edmund: Both of you also have to use the Practice Excuse Form. Attach any verification documents you have...

The Practice Excuse forms are to be handed to Ms Lim... 'cause she seemed unhappy with our attendance yesterday and wanted me to call the absentees up to ask for their reasons for not coming and then email her the reasons. Therefore, please do me and yourself a favour and come for practice!!! The concert is on 14 Dec! Just 1+ more month left!

Next, please tag on this blog the number of tickets you have already sold (a rough number if people have booked your tickets but have yet to collect). Please specify whether it's matinée or evening. Note that the collection of unsold tickets and money should take place next week. Thanks for your cooperation!

Poor attendance

Guys, I am very disappointed with the attendance today. Only Kenneth Ooi came, and the rest of you didn't even tell me or Jia Jin you are not coming. Mr. Voo came by the way, so please answer yourself. Hope this will not happen again in the future..

Anyway, i'm leaving so Hanoi, so yeaps, hope you all will train hard, and make use of these practices I would be sadly missing. I suck.

Sincerely,
Black Cello

Harloz~

Harlo everyone!!!

Tony here ><. As you all know, we sec 4s have graduated liao, so... ya lor, kenneth, vincent n jiajin are taking the reigns of cellobass section and leading to a new goal, new age. So... I hope that you juniors do not make life difficult for them... (you know hu i'm referring to rite? hohoho). And to the new seniors, pls do not be too strict to the juniors as well. It's true tt you have to be strict, but you cant be too strict either rite? If not the juniors wouldn't wanna speak wif u ><, and that'll be dam sad rite? LOL... And well, I dun tink I've been bias to any instruments, but i've gotta say tt i'm a little bias towards/against people. Heez >< tts just my personality... But no matter what, I'm always nicer towards juniors than my peers. Heres a few messages that i wan to give the new seniors.

To Kenneth(Siah, durh rite? obviously not Ooi...) : Hmm, regarding what u said bout me...., i feel rather sad ><><>< gambatte

To Vincent : hihi, i dont really noe u tt well rite? and i dun tink u really noe me tt well either rite? Well, jus to say, u r very musically talented, but u have so many other commitments. So, i feel tt u should tink about what u are really passionate and interested in, and put the majority of ur effort into that you are passionate in. Well, as always, do come for practices more often... to improve ur cello skills, as well as to fulfil ur job as the new CO music director. I'm sure Thomas Ang would be more than glad to teach euu... >< Fun to have worked wif u! haha. Work hard!!

To JiaJin: Harloz... as i would always say... improve ur skills!~!~ You are now the lead bassist, and since lawrence and me are leaving, you would have to produce the amount of sound, quality and tone on the bass, that can equal to what both lawrence n me have done so far. Do try your best coping with the juniors okay? Don't let them climb over your head and step on you... tt would be bad... u would have to become more strict, as i feel u r too kind... as u can see from me always suanning you upside down... LOL!!! I'm glad to see you work hard to improve your skills, even though i always suan you... I sincerely apologise for all the damage I've done to ur heart... hohoho... Anyways, really very happy to have u as my junior, so that i can teach u what i've learnt. Do not be afraid to ask qns regarding playing the bass. So... its enjoyable to work with u ne... gambatte.

To my peers: What subject combi u taking ah? I taking Bio, Chem, Maths & Econs. My love for Bio n Chem is strong as always, and my fiery passion for them will burn forever!! HOHOHOHO Anyways, nice to have met u all. Fun to lame around with Edmund, and nice to combine forces with lawrence to start a suanning spree. So... hope we keep in touch and rmb each other in RJC, and even if we walk our different pathways in the future okay? :')

To my seniors: Thank you very much for nurturing me, from a slacker in RICO, to what i am today...haha, i really have to thank you all, u really have made my life in RICO fun. When u all left, i was actually at a lost of what to do... lol... quite sad rite? Nonetheless, chatting with you seniors is always the best and most fun of all.

So... I thank you all for being nice to me, even though how nasty i've been to you >< And i apologise for all the suanning and slapping tt i've bestowed upon you all... Enjoyable to work with u all, and keep in touch ok? Tis should be one of the las few posts that i will post... Cos it isn't really farewell with RICO rite? The real farewell comes much ltr, in december. So.. matane~

With lotsa love and warm regards,
Your amiable senior,
Tony~

Happy Graduation seniors!

Happy Graduation seniors!
Wish you all the best in RJC, and hope to see you all around.

I think that without you guys, my life in RICO would not have been so memorable. Though we fought a lot, but it is really those moments which at the same time I feel oddly happy, and I feel a sense of belonging in RICO.

I will continue to do my best, and I think Jia Jin and Vincent will feel the same way too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As you have seen this morning, i am in OIP, hence my occasional disappearing act, haha. I will be away from 5 - 19 Nov in Hanoi - Vietnam, and somewhere during December for a week in Korea, so you know where I am at when I am not around.

There will be practice tomorrow, Saturday, so please come on time. Failure to come on time by 9.00 a.m. without valid excuse will result in no attendance. Please do yourself a favour and come earlier to let me fix your cellos, as you always do. Same goes for bass section.

Lastly, someone PLEASE find zhangjie andf tell him to come. I don't want him to become another UFO.

Anyways, while I am not around, please listen to Jia Jin, and any other problems ask Vincent, Edmund and Mr. Voo. They are there to help you, so don't be mice.

Off to Hanoi,
Black Cello
