adding on to angeline....YES angeline u finally brought up the matter of money and funds and etc up. i want to add on, that in actual fact, what we all paid for various informal non-band-related events like chalet, parties etc and even in formal band-related events like camp, is NOT ENOUGH to cover the costs. yes, though i admit to a certain extent that mostly for those times, its cos funds were not handled well. but it is also cos last min stuff need to be bought, ppl last min when all costs were calculated and all were told to pay how much how much den tell the organisers they bought stuff too and want to claim back the money. or, worse, and yes it happened before, some people simply refuses to pay up with weak reasons and even after the amount they have to pay is halved. in the end, the organisers end up paying alot of money themselves. and what do they get? people complaining that food not nice, too unglam, too expensive, etc etc. not even a thanks la sometimes. but to organise events, the organisers have full knowledge that these will happen, that short-change and discontents will happen n occur, that they will end up paying from their own pockets and have people complaining and all. but still we dun mind doing that, as long as there are still people who enjoy these activities.. so what i'm trying to say is that, next time there are payments to be collected, please just cooperate and pay on time la.. its the least u can do if you are not the one rushing around to get things done, get the neccessary stuff and all.. yeah? -jj at 1:53 PM 0 comments
From The Loan shark of the Band:Hey guys, i've been wondering for quite some time. You know there are sometimes when i would just speak to the band regarding the spending of the band fund? Yea...i think that , alone, is not enough cos there 'll still be people who'll just forget and the next month....the whining starts ALL OVER again. Well, i cant blame you all, i will not. I mean, if i'm one of you all, and throughout the whole month , you can(a) see Angeline walking around collecting money from people. OR ,(b) have diff people collecting money for band camp/band chalet/band fund. All in all, they are still collecting money from me right?? Lets address symptom (a): You know, every begining of the month, it's band fund collection period? Yea, so the first week of the month, i'll go round reminding section leaders to collect money. In the 2nd week, 45% of the band still haven paid up. i go round reminding and pestering. Soon,the 3rd week is here! by then 90% of the band paid up , left those hard core ( like "blue's friend" and "orange____") who conviently forget to bring and they enjoy torturing me, forcing me to chase them all over the place and tag their sleeves until it becomes long sleeved shirts and they just LOVE to hear me pester and nag and nag and nag...... Finally, last week of the month 100% paid up and a few days later.......IT'S THE BEGINING OF THE MONTH AGAIN~!!! WOW~!!! so the cycle carries on and on and on and on and on..... Now you know why i seemed to be asking for money every time you see me right? Yea, that's why.....so the moral of story (a) is......PAY UP YOUR BAND FUND AT THE 1ST WEEK OF THE MONTH AND YOU'LL NOT HEAR ME ASKING FOR MONEY FOR THE REMAINING 3 WEEKS~!!!! Okay, lets move on to symptom (b): Especially during the months where there are many events. For instances, November. Chalet, band camp, tune in.....blah blah . you know, everytime you go out with your friends, you'll spend more then you stayed at home? yea, same logic. The more events, the more$ needed. Band camp and chalet, i'm not incharge, That's welfare. Band tune in, i'm in charge of the food. You know why ? Cos being in charge of the food, i'm able to have full control of the majority money spent on tune-in, in other words, i can budget well. In this case, we prepared food for 100 people. We spent approximately $120 on the food and cutlery (drinks sponsered by Mr david gloze) . In other words, each person will only need to pay $1.20 for the food. HEY, THAT'S A BARGAIN HOR, if you order catering, each person would need at least $5, which means....?$500 okay...We , the JURONG GIRLS GANG bought every thjing and cooked them, display them nicely on trays and slice them nicely......you know, carrying $100 of food is heavy? and ......STANDING IN THE KITCHEN FRYING NUGGETS AND WEDGES AND CURRY PUFFS IS NO JOKE!!! YOU'LL BE A LIVING OILYMAN AFTER 2 HOURS.....AND BAKING TILL MIDNIGHT IS NOT EXACTLY SIMPLE TOO....EVERYTHING SMELLS OF COOKIES EVEN AFTER 6 HOURS~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay, yar. Then as you all know , i'm very stingy with the band fund. Like during the open house, doing the posters. I insisted on using only 90 cents venguard sheets and not those hard hard plastic based black board. why?? okay, lets calculate...the nice glam black plastic board costs~~ $3 and the vanguard sheet $0.90. We used a total of more then 20 of them; lets make it 25. $3 - $0.90 times 25..... WE SAVED MORE THEN $52.50 !!!! AND THAT IS $1.12 EACH PERSON!!! So the moral of the story is, bit by bit save= a lot....(chinese proverb) . Okay, we'll practise transparency here. Hm.mm lets see....$3 per month band fund. Let me do a rough breakdown. Total band memebers: 47 Total band fund collected per month (full strength): $141. Stuff claimed from the band fund: Miscellious, = trash bags, batteries (very expensive okay, we spent $13++ on batt alone this month), stationary, air frenshener, loan to pay for scores ( thats a lot lar....) OK. SUMMARY: things not related to band music. EVERYTHING EXCEPT TUNNERS, STANDS, METRONOMES, INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR INGREDIANTS. Hm.mmmmm and you think $141 is enough for a active band of 47 for a month? Try going for shopping spree with $141 and survive for a month. Okay, those who think fast. till now, Question will be: Since you say we only have $141 a month, you spent $120++ on food for tune in....so you have no money now lar? Ans: Bingo!! yea...we busted the tiny cash box. Usually, when we are broke, we'll just ask for allowence in advance, but for the band....We'll wait for the begining of the month... Well, it is kinda different managing secondary sch band and a jc band. In the past if someone refuses to pay up, after the 3rd time, i'll just add interest. The record i have is $15 on top of the band fund. And, i'm able to have a minimum saving for the band of $300 in case of rainy days and camp month. So instead of collecting $15 at one go, they only have to pay like $5 for their band camp? Ya SAJCCB is dfferent. So many funny funny events. Band dinner lar, tune in lar, open house lar (sec sch open house is very very cheap) and parties.... as i said, each event needs money to operate. So in the end, i only can "yan zheng zzheng" just look at the cash in the box depletate as the days goes by. The funny thing about this band is, not a lot of thing is included in the sch band budget. You know, we paid the band dinner deco and stuff all by ourselves? All the events are not sponsered at all... And guess wad? Julius is considering to buy a vaccum cleaner and.....the school will not pay for it...Now, the analogy for this is: Imagine going out with your family and you have to pay for your own meals /bus fare/shopping.....Yea...that's the case Well, the events for december is kinda interesting, and not to mention, money consuming. Christmas is here, new year is here. There 'll be parties and fun laughter peace and joy. In the mist of that, a loan shark is calculating and try all ways and means to cut costs , she is a mean and stingy loanshark...muhahaha *evil laugh* Just bear that, this loan shark also have to pay what you all are paying. AND...WE NEED TO BUY A VACCUM CLEANER AT THE COSTS OF $80+++ In other words, Please prepare December / christmas band fund of $4.50. **Pls: And if you take taxi because you are late for band, no claims. Serve you right. And people like : Addison (owes band $4) , Julius (owes band $1.50) ....i want the cash asap or you 'll get it from me *evil grin* (hm.mmm how about whining?) Thank You for having the patience to read through this lengthy essay. Have a nice day, Scary & Horrible Loanshark : -+= A n G e L i N e =+- at 12:17 AM 0 comments
Thank youThank you the Jurong Girls Gang comprising of Maddy, Marie, Shuzk Meng and Me (alphabetical order) for helping out with the food. Thanks Maddy for providing the frying venue and helping me carry the raw materials all the way back to your house. Thanks Shuzk for the photo taking when i'm all sweaty and oily .... Those are memorable Thanks Marie for....Eating those cakes which we cant fit them on the tray and "finishing" those undesirable and ugly slices. Your sacrifice is worth it and appreciated. =) As what Maddy said, we can start out a catering service by ourselves already. We are so professional!!! But this time, please buy a fryer...i think all the oil has diffused through my skin....ewww GREAT JOB GIRLS.......LOVE YA~! -+= A n G e L i N e =+- at 12:02 AM 0 comments

sajc bandalright.. SAjccb J1s....... ur debut match is only in about a a few hours... i intend that Band Vs council thing this be some kind of annual thing, a tradition? yea... its full field, about 40 or 45 min each half...starts at 3pm...pls report by 2.30, we'll be warming up together and giving out instructions... on the field, if i shout at you, its not cos i think you're stupid or whatever, i just don wana leak goals...so forgive me in advance kk...and also, i'll ony put ppl in the position which i can trust them with...so even if u are not good, but u show attitude and concentration, u get to keep ur position...when i assign ppl to take charge of a particular line of midfield or defence, pls pls listen to them...whether we do well or not is not only dependent on a few players...its the whole team, we need to compliment each other to cover up for each other's weaknesses and also fully use each other's potential... to me, pride and honour are at stake...we beat the council 12-2 last yr. though a goal is a goal but one of the goal by the council was a silly goal and one was a penalty for handball? (a little of my thoughts) honestly i'm not at all assured that you guys can pull a miracle and be disciplined and play with attitude and brains... tt's why the college T and black shorts and white socks...initial plan was nich wanted u guys to go borrow ur seniors black jersey...but i did not like tt idea, i felt tt u guys would not do it and u din deserve it...my batch earned every single success k, be it ourselves or with Mr Glosz or the teachers or even with u all...but we EARNED it, we worked/bled/perspired/cried/fought for it... we thrash the councils before we even made our own jerseys...i already got the contacts of the jersey guy and everything is almost in place le...but i jus don see the need to make after all...what are the chances that u would cherish this shirt, what are the chances that you would even stand together as a team again and confront the opponent...respect needs to be earned as well...my batch did it, together... i myself not only respect my own batch ppl as a whole but individually as well...but not with this batch,as a whole, no way are you near at all but individually,well done. many individuals can impress but few as a whole would catch ur attention and cause u to submit ur respect to them... i'll be giving the cocky shit council my legs and lungs...its up to u if u wana stack them up on top of mine as well... :) enjoy the chalet tmr!! :) heh no chance at all to get drunk le...haha dont want to also la...rest well, drink water, take ur whatever pills, slp well, eat well, no sex, erm... but can practise instrument la...hahaha...tgc...

band! chalet! ... !!how to get there.... very impt info sial. By car/taxi: If you're coming from the north, take SLE/TPE, and exit to Loyang Ave (towards Changi Village). *Go along Loyang Ave (it's quite a long and windy route) and turn left into Cranwell Road. Our chalets are sprouted along Cranwell, Gosport, Andover, Leuchars, Catterick, Netheravon, Halton, Sealand and Biggin Hill Roads. You can check out our map to see where your chalet is located and follow the routes laid out there. If you're coming from the west, you can either take AYE/ECP or PIE to TPE/SLE, and exit to Loyang Ave (towards Changi Village). The rest is similar to above directions. By train/bus Take the east bound train to Tampines MRT station. From there, you can take Bus 29. You can check our map to see where you should alight, depending on where your chalet is located. Map (if you can see)
our chalet is (as on the map) CH H. for those who cant meet to go together(timing will be given on wed, place is tampines), u can take bus 29 and then alight at the stop before the reception. when u reach the area which is full of chalets and bungalows, keep ur eyes to the right, and when u see and passed Old Changi Hospital(the old old haunted one) which is on the right side, atop a hill actually, u can press the bell and stop le, and proceed to find Chalet H. the whole bus journey will take abt 20-30 min. oh even if u miss that stop, u can walk to the chalet la from other stops.. abt max 5 min walk between stops only. however if u alight at another area den different story la. the road at the chalet is call NETHERAVON ROAD. so before u alight take a look at the bus stop which will have a road sign on it k. just click here for link to aloha resorts webbie... we're at aloha changi ah...

Its been a whileHey ppl. its been a while seen i last blogged, a really really long while i guess I know the band's going through a really rough patch now and things aren't looking really bright. Do not fret, its not anything unusual, every batch goes through rough patches, its just how rough it is and what kinda troubles it'll give you. So people, dun give up, fight on n solve the problems be it big or small that comes by. It is these problems that gives the batch its unique features and makes the batch special. it is because of these troubles that bond members. At the end of the day, you all will find it worthwhile because you have put in so much effort and when the music plays, it plays out all your hardwork memories and nothing beats that feeling. So press on. Rmb.the harder the fight,the sweeter the victory. The most important thing is, you are all in this TOGETHER, and thats the sweetest thing of all. when in your life will you be able to go through this kinda troubles with some many ppl fighting alongside with with the same cause? almost never. so EVERYONE make use of this chance and speak up and stand up for what you think is good for the band and how problems can be solved. TALK IT OUT. You fight together, you will reaped the fruits TOGETHER too. Make SAJCCB life a life that others envy, a life that you would want to live over and over again. Marc at 1:08 AM 0 comments
