Some things last a lifetime.

Sec 1s,you guys may take some time to adapt to the sudden change of increase in subjects.
To the change of your environment, with new classmates, new friends, new teachers.
Frankly speaking, when i first became an AI student myself,
i hated AI. I find AI yucky.


I missed my primary school friends. I wanted to be with my primary school friends.
I wanted my primary school teachers. I had no idea that a new life, a new study environment would be so.. foreign for me.
The change was so drastic that initially i couldnt cope at all.
But it was after shutting myself up, that i realised that it is not the world that is not accepting me, but I who was not embracing the new changes in my life.
Perhaps like some of you guys,
i even thought of quitting AI Choir (nah, just kidding. Coz i had no friends.. but the seniors were really nice to me). It felt so different. I was a senior, but i became a junior instead. Warm-ups were different. Environments are different. I felt like an alien. A lost sheep. A marsian among the humans.
Everything was so different. I felt different. I didnt know what to do. I felt lost. Confused.
Im sure im not the only one who felt this way. The seniors had came a long way, we persevered. Endured. And here we are. We are proud to call ourselves AI choristers. We were no quitters.
Thus, sec 1s, just endure. Hang on. At least for the 4 years. 4 years aint long. Grip on, muster every tinge of courage you could and overcome all odds.
Dear sec 2s,
this would be your streaming year. I had my last SYF on my streaming year too.
Perhaps, what we feel are different.
From the smiles on your faces, the glimmer in your eyes, i can feel your enthusiasm. Well, you guys cared for AI choir more than i had ever cared when i was sec 2. When i was in sec 2, i still didnt feel lke i belong in AI choir. But you guys do, isnt it? From your blog entries, i feel happy that AI choir has become part of your lives.. it wasnt part of my life two years back.
Some of you guys have been eyeing for positions in the committee. Well, its not a bad thing per se. I feel happy and sad that you guys are well, aspired to be in the committee. Happy because this means you guys are probably more pro-active. Sad because.. hey, you guys really want to see us leave this much, is it?
You guys, our dear dear sec 2s,
are the most enthusiastic bunch of people in choir! You guys were so loud, so cheery and happy that it brightened up the AVA. Interesting and funny people we have, like YY, who burps every now and then. Tj, who often argues with the seniors. Nina and Sabrina, the siamese twins. Yu Wen, the pianist who fights for the piano. Jia Ling, the gentle one. Alfiah and Lucretia, often free with their praises. And so many more.
And for the people who are not in the committee, please continue to work hard.
& Make AI Choir a home for everyone.
You guys have made AI Choir a much colourful home for us all. =)
I thank you guys very much.
Dear Sec 3s,
WAHAHAHAAAAA.Your last and only SYF in your secondary school life.
I wonder how are you guys coping in a new class?
I pray that you guys wont mess up your sec 3 lives like mine. Mine was totally screwed up. But it was my turning point too. It was during sec 3 where i realised that i really love AI choir.
Well, you guys looked oh-so-innocent when you first joined up. Little did i know you guys would blossomed into .... ay, imps, princesses, knights in shining armours and elves. In my opinion, there is a clear distinction among the sec 3 sections. Sopranos - the bimbotic section. Altos - the strong headed group. And guys - .. a mish-mash of meeky and geeky guys.
Hahaha.
Well, thats my opinion.
Take bing cheng for example. He was shorter than me when he just joined. Now, he is taller than me, rising to a staggering 1.75 m in 3 years. Becoming better looking, winning the hearts of the girls in choir. Even had a cheer dedicated for him.
Tsk tsk tsk. (Somehow, i think tj is jealous! haha.)
Many of you have grown.
Have changed. For the better (hopefully not for the worse).
o lvl is just a year away.
It will be your turn to step down next year.
Treasure and cherish the time you have in AI Choir.
Leave no tears of regret.
Leave no tears of rue.
Leave tears of joy. Of happiness.
& be great.AI Choir will be in your hands after the sec 4s step down. Cheerio and Good Luck. =)
Dear Sec fours,
We have never been really close.
But let us work work work damn damn damn hard hard hard for the sake of Miss Ong, for the teachers, for the alumni, for our juniors, for our CCA, for ourselves!
2009 would be our last year in AI.
Our last few months in AI, how would it be like? I wonder.
Things may look bleak now.
Some of us have lost hope. We have even lost ourselves in the midst of our struggles.
Our Mein Kampf.
Our battle, our struggle.
Will we triump or will we concede defeat?
I dont know.
The only thing i am sure if none of us would want to head for a losing battle.
We were once juniors. We are now seniors. Very soon, we will be alumni (
hopefully..).
Things come and go.
Memories are fleeting images of the past. That come and go.
The future is daunting.
The past is malleable.
We sing from our hearts, and dream from our souls.
And we shall continue singing. Even after we have grown out of our choir uniforms.
Once an AI chorister,
Forever an AI chorister.
