It marked the end of our journey in GEM. Our journey ended beautifully with a Silver award. Disappointed we may be, we all knew we gave our best. SYF doesn't label us. So don't be disheartened, we're worth so much more than that silver and we know it :)&lt;div&gt;We're still proud of ourselves, aren't we?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks to everyone who gave us your support and to all the seniors who made us that lovely booklet overflowing with all your well wishes. Thanks for the people who woke up early to help us out that day, our dearest JC1s who contributed as well as everyone who went all the way to Republic Polytechnic with us. We really appreciate it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On a lighter note, please check out the video Aaron made us at http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150565696545341.

Although it was organised mostly for the SYF batch to engage in some intensive practice, we didn't forget the JC1s as well. We had lots of fun playing the games they've organised for all of us. And I must say they really put in a lot of efforts for it, thanks!

According to Nikki, you just need 10 minutes everyday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a video of TJC's Guitar Ensemble playing &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Summer's Breeze&lt;/span&gt;.

I think it was money well-spent despite a few less interesting parts of the concert (I spotted a few people yawning, even I was also guilty of doing so). x)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, here are 2 valuable points that I think we should pick up from the performers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not be afraid to sway your body according to the music. I think you'll be better able to feel the music &amp;amp; hence play better! :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not let distractions get in your way whenever you are performing.

However, considering that only one JC got Gold with Honours, we should be really proud of the fact that we managed to live up to the high standards for this year's SYF. :) Go GEM!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that we the JC1s will work really hard so that we can put up a wonderful public performance next year. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's move on to pictures from SYF! I'm only going to post some of them. The rest of the photo's can be found on my Facebook account:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62570&amp;amp;id=599583238&lt;br /&gt;http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62572&amp;amp;id=599583238.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be public. :) If you can't view them, just add me up &amp;amp; you should be able to then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcWgImw_PI/AAAAAAAAAGw/klFLuArLHC0/s1600-h/1+Well+Wishes+Board.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcWgImw_PI/AAAAAAAAAGw/klFLuArLHC0/s400/1+Well+Wishes+Board.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329753425337974002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Well wishes from JC1s to JC2s. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcWKmLo8UI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_USJ1gKUNOs/s1600-h/1+Rehearsing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcWKmLo8UI/AAAAAAAAAGo/_USJ1gKUNOs/s400/1+Rehearsing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329753055320142146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcXCQDMsnI/AAAAAAAAAG4/oH-aeYVHT0E/s1600-h/2+JC1+EXCO+Watching.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcXCQDMsnI/AAAAAAAAAG4/oH-aeYVHT0E/s400/2+JC1+EXCO+Watching.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329754011451830898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Part of the JC1 EXCO watching attentively as we rehearsed for the SYF competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcXfx7zQ8I/AAAAAAAAAHA/hkg1vGq-jSo/s1600-h/3+Preparing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcXfx7zQ8I/AAAAAAAAAHA/hkg1vGq-jSo/s400/3+Preparing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329754518763815874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dressing up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcX33lb9YI/AAAAAAAAAHI/LcvwbZ9xrUw/s1600-h/4+On+The+bus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcX33lb9YI/AAAAAAAAAHI/LcvwbZ9xrUw/s400/4+On+The+bus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329754932597486978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcYZnPQPWI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/HlZ6j2jou34/s1600-h/5+Pretty+RP.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcYZnPQPWI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/HlZ6j2jou34/s400/5+Pretty+RP.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329755512325029218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcYtVSCDYI/AAAAAAAAAHY/f4HCd_e0U1k/s1600-h/6+While+Waiting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcYtVSCDYI/AAAAAAAAAHY/f4HCd_e0U1k/s400/6+While+Waiting.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329755851102227842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcZJ_8BBYI/AAAAAAAAAHg/P2oGCbKukSg/s1600-h/6.5+Xing+Hua+Eating.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nKCitRWJUS8/SfcZJ_8BBYI/AAAAAAAAAHg/P2oGCbKukSg/s400/6.5+Xing+Hua+Eating.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329756343588947330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While waiting for the actual performance etc, we all tuned our guitars &amp;amp; did what we were supposed to do.

About 2 weeks ago, 6 of us (Nikki, Ming Yi, Hudson, Wei Long, Jonathan &amp;amp; I) performed during the JC1 Common Lunch at the library.

It was our very first performance together so we inevitably felt a little nervous. x) At least I did!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here are some pictures from the lunchtime performance.

Shot of emo Crystal, awww~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, we took pictures of boy-band poses, here goes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01118.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01122-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01133-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last time, people stop emo-ing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01129-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Squeeee, hug. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01126-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another silly shot, haha. Sorry the photos are just limited to my phone cos i'm updating from the sch lib. You all can stalk the GEM members' blogs for more pictures. The links are just above!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01141.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the night, we had a game of monkey. You should be able to tell who's the monkey. Fill in the blank. Sz_ H_w. :D Obvious enough, hahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01149.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wesley and Safiah practising for their song, Bubbly for later. Maybe it's the eyebags, Wesley looks like he's wearing eye shadow or eyeliner. Haha, Saf's right abt this. Metrosexual!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01151.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, illegal gambling and illegal gathering. Michelle, Mao, they all(all the guilty ones in picture) were playing cards and they didn't ask us along! Just kidding. Mao, your head is HUGE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01166.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bbq's jam-packed with fun. I think everyone(almost) had a good time. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01165-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The J2s. They were practising for performance too. A sweet note: Ledung's concerned about Darren who hadn't eaten lunch and asked for food to be sent over to him?! (I don't even rmb Ledung being so nice!) Ultimate sweetness. Let's all cherish the friendships and bonds forged in GEM, alright? /winks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01584.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone, check King and Cystal's 'viola' pose and that's us. It was a fine sunny bright day. :D And no, we weren't skivving while the rest prepared for the bbq!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01593-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We took a lot a lot a lot of photos. Do check the GEM photobucket. It's &lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/gem"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01104.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, that's one of my fave pictures taken that day. GEM takes a stroll along the stretch down the beach and finds hearts on the washed up sands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01167.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JJ and Rachel. Oh yes, we've JJ to credit for our bbq fire, thank you. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01168-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ledung and me. Mmm, i think it's the smoke. Okay, sorry to Ledung cos i've bin feeling him raw food. Thrice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01169.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Darren and Safiah! Haha, Darren, our ex-chair, looks so boyish here! Mmm, he looks like my little brother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01175.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Songyang, Wesley and the ashes in the air. As i type, my legs are going numb. Ahhhhh. Bbq-ing's kinda fun except the part about eating raw food(sorry Ledung!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01189.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zhiyong and Songyang. Haha, this picture is funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01188.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hakim and Shenna. Marshmallow is love. Especially melted ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/ST831783.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we have the J2s chilling out on the beach. I think they're having a good time? ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01179.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the night falls.. :D Means it's time for performance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/ST831810.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the hard work of everyone. Finally, it's the performance! And the end product is tada, below! Ah ha, the performers. Haha, Joanna seemed stoned out! I thought we're saying no to emo-ing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01193-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEM stands for Guitar Ensemble of Meridian!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/ST831822.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seniors~ Do work hard for your prelims and As. I recall the ex-ex-president, Darrell saying that the top student would somehow come from GEM! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/ST831824.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole of the J2s. Thank you for the hard work and effort you all have put into GEM. I can still remember tiny details of orientation to every single practice we had. Although there wasn't sufficient time to get to know every single J2 but every GEM member counts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01196-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, the performance. That's a picture of the J2s waiting [insert word: anxiously] before the performance started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01197.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King and Safiah. A take-away point: Smile when you perform. It's contagious. Your audience would rub off some of the spirit and gradually you make their day. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01199-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the performance, we celebrated the birthdays of the june babies and that meant cake and birthday song. Gah, Safiah's face is cut. Picture to be replaced when i can find the other one! Major hint to Safiah's admirers: She likes her cake in bigger chunks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was for a personal use, a snapshot i got from Shenna, but people who are interested in how to play happy birthday, it's below. Well i didn't know it's only two chords and they so happen to be the first two chords i've learnt. /laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/HappyBirthday.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x43/squidbug/DSC01594-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To end off this post, here's a picture with Shenna and my imagined bubble speech: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I LOVE GEM!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;BEHIND THE STAGE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be updated!
