THANK YOU :D

Hey guys!

Okay again, for those who do not know me, I'm xuanming from batch 2009 haha.

Anyway, great performance people! :D

You guys totally rocked the SCH down yesterday.

As a chapter of CHSCO closes, a new chapter unfolds, yet again.

This time round, Sec 3s, it is your turn to rise up to the occasion.

SYF is next, but I'm sure that you guys can do it!

Yesterday's performance was pretty optimistic :D

Watching CHSCO as an audience for the first time in 4 years, I am proud to say that I was from CHSCO and will always be (:

Enjoy your time in CHSCO okay!

You guys will love it in time to come.

It is here when you understand what it means by an equal mix of work and play ;D

(I had a fair share of mine too!)

You will know why in time to come (:

Thanks for the music yesterday people (:

And... taupok -.-

LOL.

It certainly brought back memories of the old days when I used to wear that maroon blazer and standing on stage as a CHSCO performer.

Haha.

Even though I know that those times will not come back again, at least I know that I was once part of it and I am very, very glad to be so.

Anyway, some final words to the current sec 3 batch:

You guys are really a friendly group of people! =)

Since getting to know you all since you were sec 1, you guys have really matured a lot and have blossomed in many ways.

I still remember the lame pranks that you played on us LOL.

(Pulling our hair, taupok, piggy-backing, pinching...) -.-

Yeah I lost 4 strands of hair I think.

Haha although you may look back and think that it's lame, but it is, after all, part of the growing up process.

Now, after 2 years being under the careful nurturing by us and the current sec 4 batch, it is time for you all to step up.

There is the SYF next year, no doubt it is a massive task on hand.

But dun worry k! We are confident that you guys will be able to accomplish your mission.

For you guys are CHSCO. (:

As quoted from Zhenwei (2008-2009 Vice-Pres),

Music is our talent, Winning is our Art.

Always remember that we seniors are always here for you all and will always lend our support in whatever that you do :D

This is a promise! And I'm sure the other seniors feel this way too (:

So... yup.

Dun want to say too much already =]

Reach out for the stars, guys!

Nothing is impossible.

You guys can do it, for you have the potential.

You guys can make breakthroughs, for you have the willpower to do so.

Most of all, you guys definitely can reach out for the skies, for you are CHSCO (:

All the best for your future endeavors guys! :D

No matter where we are, we will be silently watching you all, from afar =]

With bucketfuls of my best wishes,

XUANMING ;D

CHSCO 5th Secretary (08-09)
