FAQ:
1) How to read the chords?
The "chord diagrams" are included at "Chords Used:".
The 6th string (i.e. the low e string) is the first digit.
The zeros mean open string while numbers represent fret no.

2) How to "sync" the song with the lyrics?
The chord used is written on top of the word that it is supposed to be strummed at.
Most of them are 4 beats, but some are two.
Try to guage it yourself!

3) How to STRUM?
Strumming is freestyle!
Alternatively, try youtubing "taylor swift acoustic" or
come up with your own strumming style.
You can also ask any of the SLs or your peers for their style.

The start of a new Era

Hey everybody,

We're back!
Hope you have enjoyed your promos! (yeah rite...)
CCA will start soon on 10th October, Monday.
More details will be posted soon by our President.

Anywayz, here's one song you might enjoy, called "A Passion Melancholic" by Depapepe (same duo that played wedding bells).
It was introduced to me by one of your peers, and I really liked it.
So, here it is.

"If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived?" ~ T. Alan Armstrong.
Think about it XD

Btw, remember Miss Wong mentioned about castanets with Asturias?
Listen to it here:
