Hi pipaliuqin,
Thanks to kenneth we had another outing. This time it was on friday after our ndp celebrations. It actually started off as just a joke. Kenneth was joking with me about going out, after syf closing ceremony in the bus back to school. I told him i was looking forward to his initiative. And then he came up with the idea of going out for a show, then i suggested ice skating haha. Thats how all the excitement came about and it became a real outing.
On friday morning, i was just about to step into my class and i saw chiuyin by the corridor, i quickly came out and he talked to me. Then i decided to follow him around instead of staying in my class. We went to the top level to find kenneth and we stayed outside their classroom talking and we met kenneth tan but he still couldnt confirm whether he will be going. Then we went to the terraces together. After the ndp parade we were separated, sec twos and threes stayed in school, while fours had to go out. Zhunsong longpeng and i went to the army museum and we came back v late, almost 1pm, when we were supposed to meet at 1230. Kenneth called and sms'ed me on the bus, haha, cos they were alrd waiting for us at 3H1. When we came back zs went toilet first, then we went to find the others at tower block. I was surprised to see zhen tao, at first i thought he wud ruin the outing, but turned out he was v well behaved during the outing haha, and i saw a different side of zhentao, he can be a really very nice person. I had to go get my ruan from my classroom and change out of my uniform, which took some more time, i felt like i was holding back the others and cutting down on the time we could have spent outside.
We left 3H1, kenneth was hurrying us cos it was quite late by then. Ceshun didnt seem ok, he seemed tired and quite reluctant to go for the outing. We took a bus to newton. When we were on the escalator then we realised zhunsong was missing. He didnt alight, he was still on the bus haha. We took mrt to dhoby ghaut and met zs there. Zhentao went to buy a drink, and px started the idea to pangsei zhentao. Everyone ran away so fast. But kenneth and i was feeling quite bad for him. But kenneth betrayed me, he later ran off after seeing zhentao at the foot of the escalator. Zhentao came up to me and we walked to find the others. Oh no im having problems recalling also haha. Then we went to find a place for lunch. All the fast food outlets were v crowded. Then longpeng saw yoshinoya and we both insisted on yoshinoya haha cos we thought it wud be the least crowded. We met benedict with his classmates at yoshinoya. We went to order our food, and we made a big mess cos we ordered together and the lady and us ourselves were confused with our orders haha. Px kind of got scammed cos he didnt pay the student price haha. And we got two extra drinks i think, probably bcos they got confused, so we gave the extra drink to px. After eating it was alrd about 2 plus almost 3. The movie was at 4pm. We initially planned to go kallang leisure park to ice skate and watch up. But everyone just ate so we couldnt do anything vigorous. They went to see the toys outside yoshinoya. Zhentao was attracted to one particular soft toy haha. We went to the first level and zhentao wanted to go toilet. They wanted to pangsei him again, but zhentao suddenly appear from the opposite direction which he had went off, so surprising haha. We walked to cathay to find out movie times, but all the times all full so we walked back, and lp, px and zs went to gv to find out times for the 3D one. In the end we still went to kallang leisure park at 3 plus. This time we made sure no one was left out. Lp and px were specially watching over zs haha.
When we reached kallang leisure park, it was v empty, there were v little ppl. Px made another trip to the toilet haha. We went to the top floor to the ice skating place but there were too many ppl so we dropped the idea. We went to buy our movie tickets for the 4pm show. We had a little time left, so they went to get popcorns and drinks and hotdogs. Px and i saw the preview for the orphan, seem quite scary haha. Then went to arcade to look a bit. When we were walking to our movie hall, px was commenting that the place was v spooky and we shld nvr watch a horror movie if we come here again. Kenneth suggested i put my ruan beneath the seat but lucky i didnt haha cos that place was really v dirty. After watching the show we went to find the bowling place. On the way px brought us to the pet shop to see the huge bunny, it was so fat and it just sat there so lazy haha. Then chiuyin ceshun longpeng yauxuan and zhentao decided to be naughty and were playing a fool again haha. They ran down the escalator and ran about in a circle before coming up again. Zhunsong kenneth and i stayed outside the petshop, we thought they wanted to pangsei us. Kenneth was talking to me about how much he wanted to own a hamster haha. We were walking towards the bowling place, and we met zhengrui. Kenneth and longpeng left us at the bowling place. And we were not able to bowl cos they were closing the area soon for a competition. So we went to arcade.
Ceshun was hooked on Let's Go Jungle haha. He went crazy over it. He was super excited and high when he played it with chiuyin. They beat zhentao and px's score, with 90% compatibility. Zhentao kept sponsoring a lot of coins for us to play. We played the table soccer, lets go jungle, some shooting game, racing, music, basketball, and the best was still the dancing one. We left at around 7.45pm. Ceshun pingxi zhentao and yauxuan went over to the other side of the road to catch the bus back to dhoby ghaut while chiuyin and i waited v long for the bus to bring us to marine parade. Zhentao called chiuyin when they were crossing the bridge and they were waving goodbye at the bridge haha. After we got off the bus i said bye to chiuyin and i had to rush off to ding ls's house. Chiuyin sms'ed me, but i only realised when i was having lesson and i couldnt reply, sorry.
Friday was a fun day for everyone. Esp ceshun chiuyin and zhentao went extremely high. It was actually quite a different feeling for me, it wasnt so much about having fun. From what i observed, we sec fours were actually doing nothing, so it was you all, you all were able to make it v fun. We felt quite xin wei knowing that tanbo will surely continue to have even much more fun. We hope that u all will stay happy and united always. And we hereby declare the outing a success! haha, congratulations kenneth ceshun.

Thank you :)
hello :)
thank you yao zhang for the so many happy moments we shared!dont worry when u go to jc, we'll still remember u :)
to yz:
i know u and I said this so many times before. but i'll still say again. haha. we knew each other on fri xiaozu. that day when i just came back from obs.on that day liu ls wasn't there i think.and v little ppl came for prac.zhun song wasn't there too.haha. i was there teaching jiawen how to play yu zhou kai ge probably.i can't remember stuff accurately.haha.u can do a much better job :) i didnt bring my fingernails and it sounded horrible. i noticed u were looking in my direction.i thought u were a bit disturbed by the horrible sound i made.i said 'sorry'.haha.the first word i said to u was sorry.
then there was extra prac during dec holidays esp at that table we always use.we were abit crazy.i think we went there to prac at 7am i think.i forgot that too.then sometimes we would leave after 1pm.there was so many extra pac i forgot what happenned in each of them.i just remember that time when there were some foreigners in school.i forgot why they were there haha.then we played du zou in front of all the ppl in the canteen.u played huo ba jie i think.i thought it sounded super nice.since then i liked ruan.it started with that moment.haha.apparently there were some ppl who got fascinated by us practicing there.haha.theres was that guy with unique [just to put it nicely haha] hairstyle.after a few weeks we upgraded and abandoned the canteen for the xiaozu room.haha.but it is less memorable.i totally forgot what happened in the xiaozu room during extra prac.haha.bad memory ):
aiyo.so much stuff to recall.it'll take me forever.anyway i forgot some of it.haha.then there was tanbo outing at amk hub.i remember u talk to me abt ruan stuff.haha.it's probably that moment i liked ruan even more.so much so i was willing to bring a ruan on board the plane from beijing.haha (: [why am i talking so much abt ruan on the pipa liuqin blog.haha]
i'll just skip to syf.haha.that morning we rushed to jc to get new strings.was it for pipa? i forgot again.i just remember we got the strings from nigel.and during recess i was supposed to prac in yr classroom with u and long peng.i dont know why i didnt.i shld have.and then i think yan liang was v excited and changed into white shirt before going for his physics lesson.after lessons we met at mph.then tanbo went for lunch at canteen.then we rushed to poolside because there was too many ppl in the canteen.haha.we had fav table at poolside too (: then on the bus we were still practising.u were trying to perfect the ga da me lin 155 part.haha.during prac i was always trying to play that part well like u.but then i could nvr play it as well as u.until now.haha.[at that time the bus driver had better skills and could concentrate better than the one we had for syf closing ceremony] and then when we were waiting to enter the hall we were signalling to each other.haha.i think thumbs up and gd luck.stuff like that.on the stage i was listening to u and following u.u played v confidently and v well.haha.but i could see u were nervous.but it didnt matter because u played so well.when im nervous i would surely play wrong stuff.u seem to play correctly no matter how nervous u are.haha.i shld learn from u but i couldnt :(
during announcement of results we were seated 2 seats apart i think.when they were announcing our results my eyes were closed.u couldnt say anything to me.haha.u said when everyone stood up i was still sitting down because i was too shocked.haha.
i dont know what to say next...most of the dazus are abt the same.and xiaozu is also abt the same too.oh no i forgot tanbo chalet.haha.how could i forget such a thing.
u were waiting on the benches in src.u were reading some book i think.haha.i sent sms to u saying i had a cough and maybe i couldnt come.u were probably relieved that i was there.haha.i think i can skip the stuff that happenned in the morning.in the afternoon while u all were playing in the water i was taking photos.that was the first time i saw u so happy.and high.haha.i nvr believed u would have so much fun that day.haha.i wanted to go into the water too but my parents didnt want me to ): i dont want them to find out if they found wet clothes in my bag.it would have been so much more fun if i joined u all in the water ): when we all returned to our room u were shivering.haha.esp when we were temporarily locked out in the corridor.then that night everyone played cluedo.i think its the most boring moment during the chalet.haha.i got bored midway.i think by then u were super super bored.the game was v slow.and then we had to wait v long before our turn.haha.
then the closing ceremony two days ago.u are always so caring :) u took the blazers for ping xi kenneth and ben.but when jiawen told me at 3pm he's coming, i forgot abt his blazer.haha.im so bad.sorry jiawen.lucky u reminded me to take one for him.or else he had to wear a small blazer.haha.i told my mother to look out for yr parents :) my mother saw them.yay.when we were performing i listened and followed u again[as usual].haha.i told u it would be v hard when u leave.i would have no one to follow.i think many other ppl would also feel the same way.this time the bus ride to the closing ceremony was so boring.i have nothing to say :(
then yesterday.we practiced in the mph with ce shun and yan liang.at first i was listening to u playing cao yuan.so nice.and so well played.yr playing is always inspirational to me.it makes me want to play better too.and go for yr usual score in kaoji again!i dont know how it began, but the 4 of us there started to play pipa.haha.using bo pian to play pipa sounds gd and different from fingernails.has more ke li xing.although liu ls wont be amused by my comments.haha.and i finally learnt to appreciate xian yue ppl more after yan liang taught me gao hu.haha.
dont be unhappy and sad when u leave hcico.although u are leaving hcico tanbo, u will nvr leave tanbo 09.although we are running the last lap together as hcico tanbo, we are just running the next lap as tanbo 09.

SYF Closing Ceremony
Hello Pipa Liuqin,
Ytd's syf closing ceremony was our last moment together as hcico 09, the gwh team. Hcipipaliuqin has given me so much, and im so grateful to each one of you for making it so enjoyable.
Yao Zhang
Ytd's syf closing ceremony was our last moment together as hcico 09, the gwh team. Hcipipaliuqin has given me so much, and im so grateful to each one of you for making it so enjoyable.
Here's a recap of what happened. The night before, i smsed liuqin what to bring and so on, only pingxi replied, at 12.05am, wished him happy bday. I couldnt sleep, i was thinking about the concert and how everything's going to end so soon. Went to school, yanliang, long peng and i, we were all so excited we couldnt concentrate in class, i was super impatient for lessons to end. My lessons ended at 2 plus, went to eat with my co classmates. I didnt care about revising for my tests the next day haha.
Went to co room, took out all the blazers i had kept in the cupboard the day before, to let liuqiners try them on. Erhu left earlier than us, for their rehearsal for the finale, at around 4.30. By 5pm, benedict and jiawen were still not here. Jiawen was supposed to be on mc, but he didnt want to miss the concert so he came haha. Benedict had gone to his fren's house to study for chinese test, i actually told him wrongly that we had to leave at 5 plus. We were supposed to leave at 6.30 so we had some time before dinner then set off for esplanade. Tanbo zi dong again went to our usual spot behind to practise together, and tangc was saying good things about tanbo haha. Dinner was next. Before that jiawen was having a little difficulty finding a suitable blazer. For dinner, most of the tanbo ppl were sitting in a circle, but tangc was kind of blocking the way haha so liuqin sat and ate together. After dinner, we practised again, kenneth and benedict were putting chalk on their knobs. Almost everyone went to toilet before boarding the bus. The bus journey wasnt as bad as rehearsal's, probly bcos we were used to not making any noise in the bus.
At esplanade, we had to sit in some loading area for quite long, very warm. Liuqin were practising our solo part again and again haha. Honestly, i was quite gandong, cos u could see that they were trying their best and how much they wanted to do it well. Reunited with xyz, cellobass and chuida ppl in the fourth floor waiting room, ran thru kentucky. Then went to first floor to wait along the corridor outside the backstage. Waited very long there, somemore got to wait for 20min interval. Px and ken were sitting on the floor haha. Wu ls gave us the programme booklets to view. We were all laughing at the description of our co and our syf photo. Then zhentao ran down the corridor, and the whole hcico, everybody lining up along the sides, were laughing, quite mean lar haha. Went in to backstage at around 9.20pm. Quite a few scary things happened there, px dropped some strings from ben's file, px's and ben's liuqin zouyin, and the most scary was we only had one spare liuqin yixian left, cant afford to break any strings. Lucky their liuqins were tiao'ed zhun in time. Waiting backstage was quite nervous. Ben was the first to enter for our row, beside cello, so he was holding his liuqin in a way that was quite nice, diff from the rest of us haha. Then we walked onto stage, heart attack. Our gada was definitely better than our kentucky. Altho it wasnt our best, it was better than our usual dazu. And for gada last part 1 55 part, i was super impressed with benedict, i could see his huanba and mine were totally coordinated, he played it so so well. I saw my parents, but i didnt realise ben's mum and my mum were sitting next to each other haha, they were talking to each other, and my mum told me they both thought liuqin only had two of us. Ben also managed to spot px's parents haha.
Walked off the stage, so relieved, everything's finally completed. Got back to salt centre, erhu stayed behind for finale. The rest of the co were released first. Tangc declared friday a break. And yijing officially handed the co to the next comm. Our job has been done, it's now on to you guys. Took some photos together as hcico tanbo 09 at our favourite spot at the back of co room, where we had extra fenzus, pracs before syf and concert, where we always put our bags, and our storage cupboards, and with the spoilt liuqin's cupboard door haha. It was a memorable spot for us. The photos are below.
To pipaliuqin, thank you for being such great friends. To my fellow liuqin juniors, i am super proud of you guys, you all have been superb juniors. You all have grown up, i still rmb u all last time quite slack and bochap about co one. Chiuyin, take good care of them. May you all always stay together!

30th July
Ok, this is my first ever blog post and i want to make use of this to thank all of you. What started out as one of the most sian school day turned out to be enjoyable and special. I was'nt really happy when i found out that the performance night was on my birthday, but now it's a memorable and unique day for me.
Cutting a long post short, i really want to give tanbo and Yao Zhang a big thank you. If it weren't for Yao Zhang, our section would have died as we were lacking motivation. Tanbo has also turned into a fun place to be in, my view of CO has also changed with that.
Lastly, on the behalf on Kenneth xD, who would like to go watch a movie next friday ?(National day celebrations) If yes, choose one or suggest another show: -G.I Joe -Up
PX!

SYF Closing Ceremony
Hi Pipa Liuqin,
We had our rehearsals for the closing ceremony today. It has been a long day for all of you, so much waiting, so much standing, so much of wasting time. All the best to those of you having tests this week also, hope you are able to cope well with co pracs, any problems with ur revision, zhunsong and i can help you. Liuqiners, rmb ur order for lining up, benedict, yz, pingxi and then kenneth. If you think the chair is quite low, like i do, u can unscrew the liuqin stand a bit so that ur liuqin is higher. If your palms are sweaty, let me know, i'll bring tissue paper. If your hands easy cold, maybe u can put ur hands inside ur pockets i help u hold ur liuqin, then before going onto stage then u take back ur liuqin. If u feel ur hands not 'seasoned' yet, then practise before we go to the backstage as warm up.
Tmr co starts at 4pm as usual, be early. Pingxi u will have to change ur yixian. Kenneth, hope you can come, get well soon. Benedict, tmr treat it as a real performance, try to play everything with no mistakes, i know you can play everything perfectly one, just that sometimes u too nervous or ur hand not warmed up yet. Pipa, today's rehearsal u all were good, dynamics for gada were good, rythm for kentucky was better than dazu, keep it up. Chiuyin was especially clear, i could hear him from my seat haha, but pipa must still play louder esp kentucky got some pipa solo parts. This week going to be quite tiring for everyone, but give ur best, it's really rare to get this opportunity. Put in more taifeng on that day, make sure u lift ur hands the way we agreed on in xiaozu. Hopefully you all will be able to go overseas for concert next year.
Three more days and it's all over, freedom. No more extra prac, no more forcing u all to practise liuqin or pipa, no more forcing to bring back ur instruments, or forcing u to come for co all the time. Quite sad. I still rmb the time i was asking nigel to come over to liuqin. Liuqiners, perform well for the concert, so that my promise to nigel will be fulfilled. And everyone, it's our last performance together. Jiayou!!
