Post SYF

HEY FLUBOES

The emotions dont run so much anymore i am learning.

i think we have all learnt to get over the results

and move on.

i think its really important to learn to move on so we shall all move on together okay and it'll all be fine, we'll have our section outings/breakfasts again we would still go for practices its all the same right :D

its fine i know we still love each other a lot! :D its what matters the most at the end of the day right (:

when i look at our section photos i am reminded of all that we have gone through together and then it would seem like everything else doesnt matter anymore sometimes i tear because i am touched by the extent of our closeness we are like family! <3

thank you all for the encouraging texts and the seniors for coming back it was so nice and warm and comforting to have you guys around :D it made everything okay like you guys were supporting us all the way.

and kayyun and rachel who kept reminding me to be strong regardless of whatever happened, lien and qiuluan who were around the whole time who were always around to give us support, meiqi who rushed back for results and comforted us. (:

I feel really lucky now for ALL OF YOU. <3

Serene!

SYF 2011

Hey Fluboes!

How have you all been these days? Hope you guys are walking around in smiles!!! Was sick yesterday [what a coincidence:)] and thus did not manage to come to school- did go today though and yes i'm feeling a little better already:)

today, when my friends asked me how was SYF, i told them straight in the face that "we got silver". some of their reactions were shocked, upset for me. but there was this girl who upon hearing me say that we got silver, she said "Oh! Congratulations!" and my other friend said "eh why are you being so sarcastic." but then she said "Really. Congratulations."

upon hearing this i felt incredibly comforted, that no matter what happened, my friends still stood by me, and congratulated our success.

i guess what i really want to say, is that no matter what guys, it really doesn't matter what we get:) what we get only reflects upon our peformance. it does not reflect on what we had put into this SYF 2011- the countless frustrations, lunch practices, going home late. We really have to ask ourselves, if we have put in enough for his SYF 2011, if yes, then you have really done the band proud, putting your 300% best into this SYF. So actually what medal the judges gave us doesn't really matter! So what if can't see this? what's most important is that WE know what we have done, what we have strived for, and what we have achieved, which is not the Silver Award, but the Gold with Honours spirit in everyone of our souls. please this is not that easy to get can:) and knowing that not only we ourselves know, but our friends, the school knows, it really heartens me:)

tomorrow will be the MOZAC exchange, i believe we will be playing SYF songs again. i hope to feel, once again, the spirit that i felt on stage that fateful 11.04.11

i love you all very much,

HEY EVERYONE! Firstly I'll like to congratulate everyone on making this day a success! Yes! Today was a success cause we put in our 300%, we showed to everyone that we have infinite potential! The results are really secondary to me. I wouldn't really think about the medal we get at this point of time because I know everyone has put in their best effort to make this day even possible. We've always been working hard as an individual, working hard as a section, working hard as a band. We were in this all together, and that's what makes me really happy.

We were on stage today just not long ago. I can still feel my heart beating really fast, just like how it was on stage. I can feel the music flowing through me, just like how it was on stage.

I know we may feel disappointed, and we may feel that we could have done better to get a better medal. BUT NO! We cannot turn back the clock right now. We have to stay strong and keep walking forward, keep improving ourselves so that we can do much better in other occasions, right? =D Let's be proud of what we've got, because we have really done our best and we do not have any regrets.

If the clock really does turn back, I want to make everything the same, so I can have another once-in-a-lifetime journey with each and everyone of you here. I'll really treasure and cherish every single wonderful memory of this whole SYF journey, so I hope that everyone will too. =D

The reward I got back from this whole experience: memories, fun, laughter, love. (and well tears of joy too! XD)

4 more days

HELLO EVERYONE! =DDDD now that blocks are over, i guess we can all concentrate on band! =D It's the last lap to chiong, so let's do it together!!! We're almost there! ^^

Anyway, I've got some stuff that the badminton coach said that day. ^.^

Peak Performance --> Be at your very best.
HAVE LOTS OF SELF-CONFIDENCE! Be proud that we are part of NYCB =D
FOCUS, GIVE YOUR VERY BEST! We need to always focus and give your very best everytime we play, and this includes band practices too!
STAY HEALTHY! Before you can go to peak performance, we must must must be healthy. So take care of yourself and look after yourself! Act responsibly! Rest well, and take loads of Vitamin C! XDXD

Mental Skills Training:
Learn, Acquire & Practice
Under the pressures of competitions/preformances, we will notice our most dominant and automatic response. We have to practice until the reaction becomes really automatic, we do what we have to do without our realisation. [oh my gosh i'm suddenly reminded of that instant when he wanted to hit me... >.<]
Multitask. This is really really important! We need to play our notes correctly, be in tune, and watch Ms Chong at the same time! It's as though our whole body is working. Eyes, ears, fingers, mouth, lungs, body.
POSTIVE THOUGHTSWe need to think positively! Usually people know what they need to do, they are just doubting themselves. POSITIVE THINKING IS THE KEY TO THE HOLE TO SUCCESS! =D Deep personal beliefs in your ability is extrememly important, at the same time realistic expectations is necessary. But i think, WE CAN DEFINITELY DO IT! =D
Create positive affirmation. Usethe statement I: I will give MY best today. Do your best.
Psychological barriers to success. The fear of failing and falling short of other people's (sometimes your own) epectations is what hinders us to success. These are self-limiting beliefs. This CANNOT. CANNOT. CANNOT. CANNOT. happen! Believe in yourself and everyone around you. [Refer to the point above. =D]

The difficult we do first, the impossible takes time. Even though we may not feel 100% today, it's okay. We will still give it our all and see what happens.
DARE TO TRY, DARE TO FAIL, DARE TO ACHIEVE. I think this is really really really important. There is nothing wrong with trying, and even more so in making mistakes. Everyone knows what will happen if we don't try, Nothing. But who knows what will happen when we try? The possibilities are infinite.
Don't be afraid to try and fail, be only afraid of failing to try. I like this sentence a lot! =D What's wrong with failing? We just have to adopt a 'dare to try' and 'dare to fail' attitude. Think: I can accept failure -- Everybody fails at something at sometimes. (No one is perfect.) But I cannot accept not trying.
I think trying and making a mistake is not failing. It's more of not trying, that's the real failure.
SO! WE JUST NEED TO TRY AND GIVE IT ALL WE GOT! =D



Hard work, commitment, perseverance is the key. =D

WOOTS~ WE CAN DO THIS! =DD LET'S CONTINUE OUR FIGHT AND FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT ALL THE WAY! Can we achieve GWH? YES OF COURSE! ^^

JIAYOU!

Love,
Wanlin
