Hopeless... This is truly hopeless...

Yes... Your condition now is definitely suited with the title. H-O-P-E-L-E-S---S...


Alright, I am not going to scold anyone or anybody here...

I am not going to tell anyone what to do and how to do here...

I am not going to write any motivating stuffs here...

I am going to... tell you the progressing of the SIN MIN CHORAL SPEAKING year 2009... From January... to May...




January...
Sin Min Choral Speaking hold a so-called "General Meeting"...

In the meeting, a stupid plus idiot times GODDAMN BLOODY IRRESPONSIBLE, "President" is chosen... a bit nicely to be listened lar, she was "elected" but by those Form 1s...

She did "so much" to the Cho Speak...

She chose the Committee Members after that... For what I know, they said 70% of them are Malays... and 100% of them are her friends...
She invited a lot of new members(or friends) into the Cho Speak...

From the moment she became the president, Koh and Lim, two of the ex-seniors of Cho Speak could already predict what will our Cho Speak be like... At first Koh and Lim were just hoping that what they thought would never happen. But unfortunately, it happened...



February...
She started nothing... but started everything...

Nothing... because there was NOT even a single practise until now...

But, she started the most biggest division in Cho Speak that Cho Speak had never undergone!

Cho Speak was divided into 2 group... Group of the "president" and the Group of Exxxxx.

And finally, group of Exxxxx decided to quit Cho Speak... What a success for group of the "president"...
At this moment, some of the members form the Group of Exxxxx came and complained to me.

Once Lim and Koh received the news... They finally decided to do something the Cho Speak...



March...

At last, "she" had done something... She edited the script!(Yet the script was the script chosen by Koh, she just edited it only...)

One of the TWO editings: We ARE the Choral Speaking team of our school ARE zealous...

Also, she started doing a practise!

Everybody came and she was beside there... looking for new members...

"你要join Choral Speaking吗?很爽的!!!"...

Finally, Koh and Lim couldn't stand those complains from the members of Cho Speak already... They went to see the teacher adviser of Choral Speaking, Ms Parimala Devi...

"Teacher..."
"Yes?"
"Err... We are the ex-seniors of the Choral Speaking, and we are her to tell you something."
"What?"
"Choral Speaking is in the great danger."
"Why? What is happening?"
"The president... It's all because of the president.Conclusion is, you better keep an eye on the president, she is a very dangerous girl. For the information I know, this president is elected on a meeting in January."
"Yes. Then?"
"And those Form 1s joined the election..."
"Why? Anything wrong?"
"Of course! Form 1s are not allowed to choose their president, because they are new!"


then only she realised... the situation of Cho Speak and the "president".


"Okay, so you two are the ex-seniors right? I might need your help in the future..."
"Sure! No problem!"
"Maybe you two will have to help me in training and others because I am a new teacher for Choral Speaking, I am still not so good in this yet..."
"It's Okay, we understand."


After that day, Lim and Koh continued to see her almost everyday... trying to persuade her to do a re-election. Advice by advice were given, and she had finally trusted them.

"You need to give me about 3 reasons for me to fire the president."

And this was what she told them...

Then Lim and Koh started to think that they couldn't do anything already, Cho Speak was hopeless to be saved...



April...

"Steven,"
"Yes teacher?"
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"Athira quited..."



Finally, the "president" quited...

That was good news!

But the bad news was... The team of Choral Speaking...


(I am crying when I am writing until here...)


Obviously, she quited because of the hopelessness of Cho Speak...

She is so IRRESPONSIBLE!!!
FOR DESTROYING THE CHO SPEAK!!!
FOR DESTROYING THE WHOLE TEAM!!!!!!!
She is just a heap of RUBBISH!!!

"So, seriously Steven, I need your help..."said the teacher hopelessly...
"Okay teacher... Nevermind, I promise you to build up the team."
"Thank you,"


From that moment... Lim and Koh were starting to go out the class at 12pm...

The team was training at the stage. At that time, Cho Speak was nothing but just a team of 20 people left...

The moment they trained at the stage... was the moment... that I shall not forget...

That was a truly unforgetable and undestroyable, beautiful memory for Lim and Koh...


(I am crying again...)


Everytime, those members trained at 12pm... Everytime, they came and "read" the script... Everytime they came, Lim saw the hope... But it's sad that, only 20 people are in the team...

"How was the training?"Ms Parimala asked.
"Err... Okay lo... We cannot do anything... There are only 20people... We cannot train them anything..."
"Okay, I'll talk to GKM and see..."
"Okay lo..."

One day, Lim and Koh went down to the stage as usual to meet the team...

I have forgotten already why... After traing them for a while, they went to look for Parimala.

They found that she was not at her seat... Then they went to the GKM room. They saw her, talking with the GKM bahasa.
"I don't know, now the team is only 20 people..."said Parimala to GKM bahasa Mr Lim Num Chin.
"Ya lo... why can be like this one..."
"Oh yes, these two are my helpers"
"Sir."
"Oh... You are from what form?"
"Form 3, Sir."
"Oh! I realised! Why don't you let those morning class to compete?" said the GKM in a great happiness, like a thirsty man in the desert suddenly found a oasis of water.
"I wish to, but are there still any people going to join?" Parimala was doubting.
"Of course! Morning session is so many people. There~ They are Form 3 right?"
"Yes." said Koh in a status of worrying.
"I remember the team 2007 won the Champion mah~ Izzit?"
"Yes, but I think those Form 3s are not going to join la... They have PMR this year sir..." said Lim and Koh.

(Here comes the KEPOCHI Pn Esther...)

"Sir, something to give you..."
"Ei Esther arr, the Choral Speaking now ar... Not enough people... I was thinking to let the morning classes take over."
"Oh ya! I also heard some of the problem of Choral Speaking already... Not enough people right? Let morning classes join la!"
"And I want to ask you something... I heard them said that Form 3s cannot join right?"asked GKM.
"Can~ Form 5s only cannot join..." said the KEPOCHI...
"But sir, I think many of the ex-competitors are not going to join already lar... Espesially Form 3s, they all got PMR..." said Lim and Koh.
"Yes... But try... you two try to call them back lar... Choral Speaking is always very good 1 izzit? If they lose this year arr... the pengetua will be very unhappy one you know?" said the GKM.
"Please lar sir, not actually their fault to be like this one lar... It's all because of the pengerusi they chose in the January... Athira... It's she who make the Choral Speaking like this..."

And then the KEPOCHI started to say:

"Yes... But don't think about the past first, the problem now is the number of people, not the pengerusi..."
"Please la sir... Please... Just give them one more chance to find somemore people..." begging from Lim and Koh...
"It's Okay... But this must be done quickly."


What a sudden news that almost makes Lim and Koh furious...

After a few days only the Cho Speak received the decision from the GKM bahasa...

I can still remember the scene on that day...

Mr E.T. Tan was talking to the team at a bench near the stage... He told them that the team would be taken over by the morning sessions unlees they found 20 more people...

Poor Jia Qi... she cried after listening the news...


After a few days~

The team was amazingly restored! A team which should be dismissed, was suddenly and successfully regenerated! That relieves Lim and Koh.

Lots of new faces and new members were seen. Lim and Koh can see the attitude of them for joining the Cho Speak. Everything had gone back to normal again...

(The name of Ow Jia Qi shall not be forgotten...)

Then the team started to train, 12pm everyday. Peacefully...

Lim and Koh came to train them... Everytime they trained, they were disappointed with their performance...
Then, they were disappointed with their attendance... Again, and again they were disappointed. They were never delighted for a single day they came to train the Cho Speak. A team of great expectation, shattered into a heap of powder, that will be carried by the wind to the land of hopelessness.

Especially for the attendance... Everytime <15 people's attendance.

Hopeless... hopeless... hopeless...



And here comes the May... 7th of May...
Lim's Birthday... everyone was celebrating, happily.
Got cakes, got drinks, got presents got everything...
Lim was happy on that day... But was also disappointed by their attendance...
As their performance is quite well on that day, Lim and Koh started to expect them to get the Champion in the Area Competition.

Again, they were wrong...

From that moment they began to perform below the level of satisfaction.
Then, some other ex-seniors were invited to have a look on Cho Speak's performance...

"Why they all got no expressions one?"
"Their movements looks very 死板la..."
"I cannot hear boys' voice."
"This part they are not simultaneous(together) enough... not good,"

These are all critisms! Lim and Koh had trained so hard to received those critisms!!! Do They deserve IT?! NO!!! The minimum Lim would like to hear is :"ya, except this part a bit careless others they did well. Good job Lim!"

Lim and Koh were laughed by their friends... saying they shouldn't do so much to the team...

"What for are you doing this???"

"No la, just help only ma~"

"Useless one la Lim, you get nothing from that! Not even a piece of cent, others will just laugh at you if they lose I tell you!"


Don't know why and when it started, the team started to complain about Koh.

"Koh is too over la!"
"He scolded us like dogs!"
"He even scolded bad words!!!"
"He cannot do like this la, who is he? Teacher ar?"

Then one by one is planning to quit...
Even someone had quited...

One day, the team decided to train on the Teachers' Day as they were going to perform...
At first, the door to Block C was locked, then they planned to go to the Astaka...
Announcement was made twice to call the members of Cho Speak to the Astaka...

Just reached there not even 30 minutes, just started training for not even 15mins, one of them suggested they should go and watch Mr K.K. Lim's singing.

Just a sudden suggestion made others crazy. Consequencely, they all wanted to go and watch the singing. Lim and Koh had no idea but let them go...

Before they went away, Lim betted with them that, if they didn't return automatically after the singing, they were not join the competition. One of them replied loudly,

"No problem! We'll be back one!"

.
..
...

There was no singing in the end...
By the law, they should return themselves... But NONE of them returned... Only 2 boys that didn't go to the singing.

.
..
...

Speechless...
Lim and Koh had nothing to say at that moment. They didn't know what to say, but think of the wrong decision LIM had done...
LIM was so FOOLED to let them go!!!
LIM was so STUPID to make that desicion!!!
LIM was so WRONG!!!

And that was the last training they hold before the exam.

It's truly Hopeless...





As a conclusion, I would like to tell you that...

Cho Speak had undergone the highs and lows in the progressing, and now it's the time to face the Area Competition...

At first we had ATHIRA. She almost broke Choral Speaking's name into pieces.
Luckily, she quited after that...

Then we have the problem of the number of the members, it's too few.
But with the efford of Jia Qi and others, Cho Speak was amazingly refreshed.

Then we have the problem of the attendance... A problem which never been faced before.
Though it's better abit, it's still a <25 attendance...

Then we have the diciplinary problem. You show the attitude of playing!!! Not joining!
You show no nervous for the Competition!

How many times I have to tell you that we won't get anything for training you!
Just a speech of thank you only!
And you show me that kind of attitude on the Teachers' Day!!!
If Zi Hao were me, he would definitely leave at once!
You still don't cherish with what Koh and I had done ar!!!

You all are so lucky to have such trainers, talented, well-tempered and STUPID!!!
Who can be cheated simply by you all!

Luckily, the competition is on the 20th of June.
If you go and fight with them with your present status and condition, not to say the 3rd place, 5th also need to be considered first ar!

Wake up la you all!!! Stop saying you want to quit la!
Stop saying you are very angry or something la! You are very good meh?! Are you better than me?!
For what?!?! Quit for what?!
Showing that you are great ar?!
Showing that you are human but not a dog arr?!
What will you get after this?!
You are just making problems but not solving problems!

Bear in mind that Jia Wei will NOT leave Choral Speaking. Even the whole group of you quit also, it won't work!!!

Let me tell you something true, isn't that everybody is saying that:

"If you want to success, lots of challenge you have to faced before you get to it,"

It's the same! Jia Wei is like the challenge that you(Choral Speaking) should face! If you can go through it smoothly, you may win the Champion!

But if you quit(give up) on the way, you all will not get to the success...

Who knows? Maybe God sends him to the Choral Speaking to torture you, to give you a test!
If you pass the test, you'll succeed!

Believe me, quit is no way to solve the problem. If the problem come, just face it naturally~ Because even you quit to avoid the problem(Jia Wei), you won't be quite forever.
A solid example: Athira quited to avoid the problem(the Cho Speak), but she still have to face it when she joined the School Debate Team~
She met and joined Jia Wei's debate group ACCIDENTALLY... Weird, huh?

(If you don't believe me in this example, ask Jia Wei)

Trust me, this is what the God has arranged. Everything comes naturally~



Am I right?
