Random Updates

Ok, this post will be composed of like totally random non-musical updates.

First on the agenda would be, of course, the hot topic of SYF attire. Siiigh. There's not much to say...Zheng Shan's gonna be our designer! Yes. The guys' jackets will now be tailored because the designs would be kept for future generations (or supposed to be anyway), hence the prices might be a little higher. Colour combination will be decided after the design for the gowns and jackets are out, k?

As for the girls' gowns, we're looking at a wrap dress design. One of the dresses we're using for reference is the signature wrap dress known as 'butter' by Nadia. It's basically like a skirt with two long wide pieces of cloth attached to, quite obviously, wrap the top. Apparently it can be worn in like 30 different styles and it is also 'one size fits all'. Oh and it is supposed to flatter any figure. To learn more about it, you can visit the official website http://www.butterbynadia.com/ , and I do believe that they have demonstrations for how to wrap it in a few styles.

If there are any queries, comments or suggestions, you can direct it to any exco member or our designer.

Second on the list would be next week's sports session and club lunch. It is our last sports session and last/second club lunch, at least for this year and the holidays. We're still not sure about next year. As a result, we would be doing something a little different from captain's ball. I'm sure everyone's sick of it anyway. Instead, we'll be playing frisbee! Cheers and whatnot. If anyone has a frisbee that we can borrow next friday, sms me (96663823 if you don't know). Wet weather plan...would be table tennis. (I can just hear our pres cheering right now and hoping it rains.) We can take turns playing. Or use many tables. Or learn some cheerleading.

As for the club lunch, there are two options. We can either have it on Thur or Fri. The benefit of having it on Thursday instead of Friday is that we can leave our guitars in the guitar room on Thur. I can't make club lunch mandatory for obvious reasons so I reallyreally hope that everyone can make it for the club lunch. We'll have voting on Monday for the day of the club lunch, and don't forget that training is changed to 1 to 4 on Monday. Also, there will be -cough- special seating plans for club lunch inspired by our dear NY-HC juniors at KAP today...Planned by me. Don't worry, it won't be painful. And I'd like to thank the 11 people who came down for club lunch today, as well as everyone who has participated in the sports sessions and made them a success. Although guitar bonding started late, at least we're getting somewhere, right?

Thirdly, a brief update on the chalet. Actually, no not really. I've been away for awhile so I'm sorry I couldn't get the details out yet and confirm everything. However, it will all be confirmed soon, I hope. I need to meet the chalet subcomm (or whoever can make it) next Monday after practice to discuss activities for Mr. Quek's...approval? Reference? Anyway, he needs to know. So, pass the message on and I'll hopefully see almost everyone next Monday.

Last but not least, with the new year starting and all, the orientation subcomm will have to start getting ready for the J1s. Next year, we're hoping to have an awesome initiation and pull in manymanymany J1s. Weihan's in charge of the orientation subcomm so he will probably start the planning soon...As for the rest of the 2009 J2s that are not in the orientation subcomm, you still have to be involved in orientation in one way or another AND guide/befriend your juniors. We may have some sort of buddy system or angel/mortal next year...And as all of you know, we won't be having a concert next year, hence all those in concert subcomm will have NOTHING TO DO. I suggest that these people can be more active by offering to help out in preparations for chalet, orientation, SYF, etcetc. Most importantly, we've got to make guitar club a more bonded CCA such that people come not only so that they can perform for SYF, but also because they want to. Yes, and I'm sure that everyone who came yesterday (Thur) saw the junior who joined us for practice. He is still considering, but if any other juniors come, do make them feel welcome and not....isolated. If they are seated next to you or around you, make light conversation and stuff. Be a good senior.

Wow that was a loooong post. If you managed to read all the way, congrats. That's all for today, folks.
