Well, here goes.

To all those who made caroling 2007 possible, a BIG THANK YOU!

Like what Chee Guan has said, when we decided to accept this deal, I was really afraid not being able to meet the minimun requirement. I was just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that a miracle would happen.

THE MIRACLE.

The miracle really happened! They are the current j2s! They came back to sing with us, making it possible for us to meet the required numbers, and to keep the spirit alive! Gosh, I've not felt so wonderful since 'The Reunion', as we usually have a small handful of singers only. (All of us know that haha).

The j2s are listed in no order of preference (I hope I didn't miss anyone out):

Kia Hui
Mei Rong
Hui Ting
Christina
Jing Kang
Gerald Paul
Yu Huai (the only J1)
Qing Wen
Zheng Kai

Those that came despite their busy schedule:

Yan Ting
Shawn Goh
Seng Hong
Vincent

We really appreciate your presence! =)

Whatever that I wanna say has been said on my behalf in the previous posts.. but I will still say this again, I really enjoyed this year's caroling session 'cos of the people that came to sing with us, 'cos we really mingled well.. =D

Of cos, on top of that, I'm really grateful to have a very supportive committee to back me up. Thanks exco & music comm! and of cos those who helped out voluntarily (you know who you are lah.. too slpy to mention names. Look at the time my gawd)!

Hope you guys will enjoy the BBQ on fri! Seeya guys then! (if I can make it on time)

To usher in the New Year and to bid farewell to a fantastic 2007, we are having a BBQ at my place on the 28th of Dec. I know that Yew Tee is kinda 'ulu', but i hope you won't mind and just join us for this celebration. Food and drinks have been catered for, so please come :)

I'm really touched by the number of people who have made this carolling season a success. Since it has been recounted endless time, I'll just say a big "THANK YOU" to all of you once again.

Details of the BBQ:
1. 7 p.m. at Yew Mei Green Condo BBQ Pit 2
2. 8 mins walk away from Yew Tee Mrt Station
3. Map@ http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_10000/travel_site_121701/
4. Exit from Yew Tee Mrt Station, walk past NTUC, head towards crossroad. Walk along Choa Chu Kang North 6 towards Yew Tee Primary School. You should see Yew Mei Green Condo opposite the school.
5. If you are driving, please message me so i can inform security that visitors are coming.
6. Sparkling juice, red wine, XO, Coke (for Chee Guan) and other soft drinks have been bought, if u think beer is essential, message me n i'll chiong to buy!
7. Lastly, its FOC! so please please come...haha...i sound like a broken tape recorder.

See u all on the 28th!

Cheers

Hey all!
This time round it's this 老人 who is going to 发表 some 感谢词...haha..

Thank you to ALL who came to help us and sing with us at SICC and Northpoint...to me, it's really a MIRACLE came true. :D
Especially to the juniors, and people like Seng Hong, Vincent, Shawn and Yanting (Sorry if I missed out anyone else, but you are definitely included)..really thank you SOOOOO MUCH for coming back to sing with us..as we really thought that we will lack the numbers and sound...PHEW... :P
Thanks to Nad and Jing Kang for conducting us! Without the both of you we will be in deep s***...seriously...we will sound like ~15 people singing ~15 different carols each time...LOL

We really appreciate your help and passion for singing... :) Felt very touched by everyone..it feels great to know that we can be so bonded as a team..
不管身体再累、声音再哑，就因为我们是一起的，所以彼此都愿意回来一起唱。这种精神实在是难能可贵啊。
I will really miss everyone and the times we had together caroling...even last year's Takashimaya caroling, I still can remember the moments that we had shared...it's exactly a year and a day ago...time flies man..
Really hope the juniors can stay with us...no obligations of course.. :)
Don't wanna force you all and scare you all away..

I LOVE THE CHOIR! I LOVE SINGING! I LOVE YOU GUYS! YOU ALL ROCK LIKE MEEPOK! :D

Anyway, one more thing....
On the 28th (Friday), are you all interested to go KTV? Either before or after the BBQ? But it would be unfair to those working (especially liping and peiying) if we are going to sing before the BBQ..we also understand that some of you might feel that it's too late or taxi fare is too high after midnight...
FYI, if we sing after BBQ, the KTV session will most probably end at around 3 or 4am.
And I supposed we should be going to somewhere nearby..either Woodlands Party World or Choa Chu Kang Kbox.. :D

So..please offer your comments or preferences here and we'll decide asap! Once again, thank you all!

Wish all of you a Merry Merry Christmas! Cya on Friday! :D

Muackz,
Hiang Kiat aka Xiangji

thanks guys for making me (and sze mun and several others) want to go back to alumni. (: for giving me a chance to conduct you guys as well (sometimes no choice) haha. good to know there's a successor - hint hint ET/JK/KC! so that means i can stop leading? (hint for Vice Chairman to step up)

photos were taken by my sister. enjoy the holidays (and what's left of it). sincerest apologies for my absence during the crucial period.. ):

happy holidays!

Hahas. It's been ages since i post in ajalumnichoir blog.
Seriously speaking, i didn't know today was the last day. I guess i just didn't want to know when the carolling will end. Dun believe you can ask shawn, daryl or yujie. I still ask them to come and join us on Xmas and Xmas eve. Ahhhh... I can't believe that 2007 carolling just ended like this. And i was worried that i got no voice for tml... -_-

But anyway, cheeguan4 is here to say something serious:

Thank you for everyone who put in effort to come back/stay/join the choir for this carolling.
Actually that time when we were planning for this carolling, we were crossing our fingers, hoping dat we can meet the quota. But luckily we did it. Phew~!

First of all, thanks to all the original members of the ajalumnichoir. (ie. all the 老人which includes me too) Thanks for staying throughout in the choir. This 2 yrs are difficult and crucial. We keep thinking of how to survive and maintain the strength. And every sat we will pull ourselves up from the bed and come for practices. Eat lunch at amk hub/j8 after practices. Always thinking of wad to do next after this performance. And always think of doing new songs. Keep giving ourselves new challenges to keep our fire burning. Hahas. But of course la, some left for one reason or another. I do not blame them. Everyone will have their own passion and dreams. We shldn't restrict them or force them to come ajalumnichoir. But we will still welcome them if they feel like coming back. I'll use VS 口头常for ajalumnichoir. Once an ajchoir member, always an ajalumnichoir member. =)

As for the juniors. You are our saviours man. Hahas. Without you guys i dunno how are we going to maintain the standard/number/quality. And it's another new kind of exp. Maybe it's the kind of exp/feelings dat we haven been feeling for years. Thank you. I hope all of you can stay with us in the future. As for girls, dun worry about uni stress. Look at all the 老人they are doing fine. As for guys, after your BMT u'll be free. Look at me sia. I'm so free. It's not about u busy or not. It's about whether u have the passion/心to come back. If you are determined to do something or do something dat u like, even if you dun have much time u'll also try to squeeze out time one. Go and think about it. It's all about time management. =)

Thank you Nad. Thank you Jingkang. Both of u have wonderful conducting skills. =) (cheeguan2: becuz of both of u, i dunnit to conduct!! HOHOHohoho!!!)
Nad<-- Is exactly the time management kind of person i'm talking about. She still can manage herself between NUSchoir and Ajalumnichoir. Still have other people la. Like szemun, er... yuklum?? Hahas. Sorry i can't name all people la.
Jingkang<-- Wa lau! u are god sia. Anyway, u shld consider to improve ur conducting skills too. u got the potential. Jia you! =)

大妈aka Peiying. Hahas. Sorry i didn't help much. In fact honestly speaking, is i dun bother to help. =x I didn't bother to find out things myself. =x But but now jia lat la, after jingkang conduct i feel guilty sia. =x BWaaaahhh... But without you the choir will really 垮. Thanks. =)

Ok and last of all, thank you for those dat help us out for the carolling. I try to not miss out anyone. Sorry i have very bad memory. Thank you SengHong, Vincent, YanTing, Shawn, Jiemin's bro, GeraldPoh. If have time come back and visit us more often k. =)

Okok. Me as the 老人家俱乐部shall stop here. Ok i'll start to do my job as a VP liao. Wahahas.

Cheers,
