Hi Guan Yue-ers. :D

Jocelyn here, lols.

Saw that GY blog is rather dead with regards to its posts, though tagboard is very much alive, much thanks to Amanda. :D

Anyway, I dun have anything much to say la.

I dun want to tell you all to practice songs or anything, nor do I want to remind you to do anything else.

Just hope you all are happy, hahas.

Oh and maybe I should raise a few issues. :D

Sheng/suona section

I'm more familiar with you people, so I can really give more feedback. Ok, I have a list of people who I think are just not working hard enough/cant be bothered. It may sound like I trying to bring you all down, but here's my honest opinion. Ok, I will add in nice comments too. (:

gao yin sheng

Lisabeth (& partly to me): We must work hard and practice on our trill. Whatever that thing is called. It's hard but still have to. If we can really do it then it's really good, hahas. And stop laughing at me when I look retarded! :D

zhong yin sheng

Effie: You are really improving a lot, even though you cant practice at home, lols. It's really good. I just think that your rhythm is a bit off. But it's just a slight setback; work harder to prove yourself proficient in ZYS. (: And play louder. Dun be scared. You do play correctly and if you blow so softly you might as well dun play, as no one can hear, least of all Mr Goh. (: Have more confidence. Jia You!

Wan Shan: You need to work a little harder. I feel that you are just relying on Effie, and that adds to her stress, not to say, make her PANIC. You need to blow well too. You are somewhat "following behind" her. As in, she plays the note then you play. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I think happens sometimes. You are not bad but you need to have the correct work ethics, lol. I sound evil but really. That's what I think.

gao yin suona

Rachel: You are the only GY suona player currently in combined (without the newcomers), and that adds to your stress somewhat, right? (: When you play in combined, you have to play well. Or else, Mr Goh will single you out to play, and everyone will stare at you, and you will look at everyone and laugh. -.- Lol. Just play well. You are good; so far you are the person I feel has the longest breath. Which isnt surprising as you are a suona player. :D

Elizabeth: You are lazing around with Grace. I know that you both are in the same class and therefore have a lot of conversation topics, but you should know better than to slack. You should encourage Grace to practice along with you. I hope you can get the chance to boast of your good skills in the future- but you have to work hard first. Ok? (:

zhong yin suona

Ming Wai: You are the best suona player, according to me. Well, you are older than Rachel and all the other suona players. (: Keep it up. (: I really do think that you are good. :D Or is good an understatement?

Grace: YOU AH. You started out the same day as me and all I hear is complaints from you saying that you want to go home or that you are BORED, when you ought to be practicing. Cant you just try your best? If you play, you wont be bored, right? Common sense. You really need to show interest, even though suona wasnt what you wanted to play. I know you and I wanted to join percussion in the first place but we both we placed into guan yue. It's not like I wanted to play sheng in the first place. But at least I gave it a chance. You should to. You are making Elizabeth follow in your footsteps, you know. I know you can do it, it's whether you want to or not. I leave it to you to decide if you want to be able to say "I play the suona" in JC if you DSA; with confidence or you want to be procrastinating. Nobody wants to remind you to "JUST TRY" anymore during combined. Nobody may say it but I for one, feel fed up with your attitude to the suona. I'm not suan-ning you, but I really feel this way.



I hope those are constructive comments. Dizi players- I do not know much abt you dizi people, but I know that you all play VERY WELL. I'm not kidding. Seriously, people like Alicia- you all have tai feng, plus you all play with loads of expression. I'm envious, lols.

Ok that's all. (: No offense to anyone, if I have offended you through my comments. I feel extremely blunt today. :D
