Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love!! by Gandhi.

"We understand through conflicts, mature through obstacles and bond through love" quoted.

Isn't the above 2 statements true? Hope that after this issue, xianyue will be more bonded and will work hard towards our common goal ==> GOLD WITH HONOURS (:

Jiayou people!! :D

xianyue, jiayou, jiayou.

Especially to our beloved Sec2s juniors:

Since it's created such a big 风波 within our section, let's dub it The Lecture.

Perhaps, as seniors, its our fault, for not frequently giving you all lectures and things like that, so the sudden outbursts had made you all unhappy.
Perhaps, as seniors, we have not given enough thought about how your feelings will be drastically affected after The Lecture.

We just want the best for all of you, for all of us. For our big family. That is why on that very fine day, yueyao decides to give everyone The Lecture, that we the SLs and alot of seniors have been wanting to give for a really long time.

Because she cares.
Because we care.

And as a senior, what i do not wish to see is juniors and seniors having conflicts and hating each other because of all the wrong reasons. This time round, i believe all your reasons for your unhappiness are all for the wrong reasons. Why? Because: Everyone do not understand each other enough. We only looked at the situation in their own point of view, and got misled by our own feelings during that time. Why not just sit down and think in a different perspective?

Especially in the senior's perspective.

As seniors, we've been through alot more than you all have. In fact, you've never led a junior before(except the PSLs), until probably a month later, therefore up till now, you all have no idea how we're worried about you all, and how we wish everyone will start to work hard and also learn how to appreciate what your seniors do for everyone.
因为身为学姐的我们,把你们管好是我们的职责,不然我们该如何向前辈们交待?
偶尔训一下,是因为我们心急,要你们改正错误,不是要“伤害你们的尊严”。

i just hope that after all this, you all will let go of all unhappiness you have and dont hold any grudges against any seniors. It will only make you feel more unhappy.

i hope that there will more more self-discipline within you because now that everyone are seniors, the sec1s becoming sec2s and all, you all should know what is right and what is wrong. The older seniors shouldn’t have to keep reminding about what you all should or should not do, because then you all will only be doing what you are told to do,
which will only show that maybe, you are not so ready to be seniors for the new sec1s.
i believe the PSLs have gone through being with juniors, and will have understood how hard it is to try to educate the juniors. maybe we should ask them to share their experiences. We might have the same opinions, yea psls?

No matter what, we're still a big family. Let's work towards our common goal and let all unhappiness go.

For Seniors Sec 3 and above:
Please take a look at the words in pink beside the xianyue crossword.

Actually I dont want my post to kind of bury pearlyn's cos the previous effective educational post will be flooded to behind. Moreover her language usage was accurate and serious, so those who haven't read that pls scroll down. [:

Just want to say somethings regarding ytd and today's issue.
I know some of the sec 2s are not very happy about me and some other snrs for scolding you all ytd. (Mainly me la, cos i was the one who scolded you)

First of all I want to clarify that I did not enjoy scolding you all ytd. I know I'm also a junior to the sec4s (not the age problem, cos the definition of junior is : A person lesser in rank or time of participation or service), so I don't actually have the right to scold you. That was why me and other sec3s didnt step out and scream immediately even if we were a bit offended. When co ended, I asked jinglan and she gave approval for us to do that.

I'm sure that many of you are very glad to have new juniors coming into co cos the process of becoming a senior is enjoyable, as you all can see your cute innocent juniors already. But as time passes we'll realise that being a senior has certain responsibilities. It's not just to play and joke around with juniors (like what we usually do), but you have to really lead them in a correct way. Trust me, it's really heart-rending to see that your juniors are displaying bad behaviours or not showing respects, or what we say AP.

As you can see seniors are working so hard to keep xianyue running well. Not only jinglan and pearlyn or sec3s, our year5 seniors, the graduated seniors are all looking forward to see our performances. All our seniors, from many years ago to the year5s, all worked hard for syf with their heart and soul. (you'll see what is the real 'tears of joy' when you witnessed 2007's syf)

We mustn't disappoint them.

And that is why ytd we were really angry to see your attitude. Frankly speaking, I was an AP junior in sec1, I believe that many seniors have witnessed the change in me (after receiving vaiours lectures from seniors). So pls forgive your seniors for doing that ytd, cos we were all being scolded by the previous SL (you-knw-who), that was way more serious than ytd's lecture.

And for today, maybe some of you don't knw what happened, but ya, some seniors are saddened by your attitude once again, the attitude after you're are being scolded. The 2 SLs and other seniors are really hoping to see the change in you.
Hope from today onwards, we'll still be good friends, jnr and snr, we can joke, play, laugh, have fun together, but we can also practice, learn and improve together. In fact if you care to read some seniors' blog archive, you'll realise that what makes the section bonded is not the 'playing&laughing', but the 'practices&lessons'.

So ya, here I officially apologise for being harsh ytd, if you are still unable to get over it, pls contact me& talk to me.

Jiayou to all! (:

<3, yueyao.

Hi all, Here are some issues I wna address. hope all of you will do some reflections and improve for the better.

Regarding today's lecture by the sec3s:

Firstly, from what ive heard from yueyao, yol were singing and playing during practice.this should not be case because its afterall a practice session. &syf is nearing. yol might be thinking that results is everything that matters to us.but we all shld be less selfish &consider sparing a thought for rvco as a whole right? there are definitely others out there who are putting in much effort than you do. im not implying that yol didnt work hard. i just feel that your attitude is an aspect that yol should consider improving. the way you squander all your practice sessions away and not taking lessons srsly really puts us off. &to think that, yol can still support each other by saying that we snrs are no role models and deceive yourselves that yol are the best. we may not be good role models but i think yol should know and do what is morally right.the issue here is not about being bonded or how cohesive yol are. so what if there are cliques among snrs. dont yol have closer friends too? i dont see whats wrong with it, esp when you,at the same time, can work well with the others.

Secondly, i hope all of you truly undestand what the term "attitude problem" or "AP" in short means. it refers to the display of inappropriate behaviour. Inappropriate behavior like telling your snrs off when their so called "irksome" erhu melody interrupted your singing, giving snrs your ap faces when they point out your mistakes, walking along the corridors &hopping from class to class, msging during practice sessions and so on.

Thirdly, do you know why your section leaders cant speak up and lecture you guys today? cos we werent practicing in the same classroom! &therefore how are we supposed to say something. it is perfectly fine for snrs, regardless of which level, to lecture jnrs if their perf is not meeting expectations. Another point tht you ignorant ltl brats might not know, is that yueyao is of the same age as the sec4s, which gives her the right to lecture yol, even if its front of the two sls. Hope yol can have more respect for your snrs thank you.

To the upper sec:
your attitude is also very much of a problem. Shall make this clear here, that all practice sessions are complusory with the exception of valid reasons. Reasons like "Im meeting my supplier" etc is unacceptable. Of all times you chose a cca day to meet up with your whoever whoever. great! this will not be tolerated. Smsing throughout the whole practice session is NOT ALLOWED also. You-know-who, please be discreet about the msging thing. loitering along corridors is NOT ALLOWED.

thats all.
