Hey upper east siders, Gossip Girl here, and I have the biggest news ever! Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are. And where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. And who am I ? That's one secret I'll never tell... You know you love me.

XOXO,
Gossip Girl

Just watched the volleyball finals video - the very last point they scored to win the championships, all the sweat dripping from their foreheads and breaking out into craziness. I think NY girls are amazing. Like, truly truly really really amazing. Couldn't help but think whether 12 days later would we be like NYVB

I know we are supposed to grow stronger through all these and i'm sure we have, and become even more determined to prove those who belittle us wrong and show our worth, and to of course, achieve our aim. (which im sure what everybody wants is a GWH :D) Yet after thinking about it really long and hard, I had to admit i was really apprehensive about the future. But that's not the way to go about this! After talking to people and reading the NYCO blog, I was somewhat comforted. I could feel that we have became stronger after today and are ready to the fight the battle in the remaining 12 days! C'mon, NYGH is behind us, seniors are behind us, juniors are behind us, instructors are behind us. We've got all the support we need, how can we let them down, let Mrs. Ee down and let ourselves down!

In my years in CO, i have never felt that the conductor was such an important figure. At least not in THIS way. No doubt, the CO cannot function without a conductor because she brings everybody together and without her, the CO will fall apart. Let alone talk about music. Today however, I experienced for myself how the mood of the orchestra changes with that of the conductor. Usually, when we are restless or lack motivation or are not focused or wtv, Mrs. Ee is always there to pull everyone back to track and she drives the entire CO. Yet today, I felt somewhat helpless as she jumped from one part to the next, pointing out our mistakes and leaving it to ourselves to solve our own problems. We were all equally unmotivated and i guess, sian. Perhaps we really rely on her too much.

I really didn't like how practice went today. Not a single minute of it. It was so tense and everybody was so afraid of making a single mistake. Nobody wanted to dissappoint Mrs. Ee and we really really wanted to play to her standard. Yet, when we are so tensed up, we wouldn't dare to play around and venture into the music. On the contrary, we played better during practices in M4 last time where I guess, we were more daring. However, we were so relaxed to the extent that we lacked focus and concentration. But, if she doesn't scold, will we learn?

In an extremely emotional and reflective mood. And i don't really like it! ): Because i'm not in a mood to do anything and i feel so, JELLY-LIKE. (okay maybe that's because i forgot to take dinner :/ ) So, NYCO, let's all do our parts and give Mrs. Ee the support that she needs because it's really taxing and stressful for her to hold the entire CO together if we are not co-operative. Tomorrow is a good day for all to be calm and take time to think of what we want for NYCO and what we are going to do to achieve that and WALK THE TALK. The fact that she scolds shows how concerned she is about us. Today's practice was really like primary school days where the teacher scolds and scolds and the students have no choice but to comply out of fear. I'm sure we are more than this. We do want back the times when we can laugh and joke occassionally during practices and see Mrs. Ee as well as ourselves enjoy every practice right! Sounds cliched, but really, no matter how tiring it is we never stop wanting to work harder because we enjoy it and L O V E NYCO so much! WE CAN DO THIS :D

P.S. Just to sidetrack abit, my brother is going crazy he is like practicing the piano EVERY DAY. Like everytime he walks downstairs and sees the piano he will go over and PLAY. And anybody who knows my brother would know that he is the kind who plays 1 hour a week during piano lessons and perhaps a few more times before grading exams. Yeah because he got scores for like these anime tracks so he like plays them everyday. And i can feel it. I AM IN UTTER DISBELIEF. It shows how important it is to love whatever you're doing. :D
