Its unfortunate that I had to speak to some of you about your behaviour during training. I don't think that you enjoyed having that conversation with me and I certainly did not enjoy it either. However, I can see improvements after I've spoken to you... so if you're one of those I've spoken to... keep up the improvement. 

I can see the effort which you have put in for this holiday's training. Even those who were missing in action (MIA) have started to turn up. (and regularly too) Of course, I've still got a few MIA cases who have promised to turn up from next week onwards. SECTION LEADERS... please lookout for your members who are MIA. Please take the initiative to do extra with them to ensure that they are able to catch up with the training. If they are not able to catch up, they will surely MIA again.

Most of you have arrived punctually and I've even noticed some of you coming early to join the section leaders in their training. Please keep up the good work. However there are some who are still arriving late. I hope not to have a conversation with you on this matter next week. Especially when Headstart and ACE will end this week. 

Remember our target for this holiday training. We wanna be able to sing "Ave Maria" without scores reasonably well and complete learning "The White Horses". I think Ave Maria is starting to sound good. However, some of you are till trying very hard to maintain the correct pitch by singing loudly so that you can hear yourself. Please take note of all the expressions which Mr Hu has highlighted... places where breathing can take place and places where it cannot. You need to start practicing it at home. I look forward to being able to film your singing and proudly putting it up on Youtube.

I'm now looking at a few locations (overseas) next year to bring you all to for competition. Please look out for more information.

Otherwise, I hope that everyone of you will have a well deserved weekend. I'm looking forward to next week's practice. This is not flattery... but I find sitting into the choir training and listening to you girls sing, pretty therapeutic.
