31st Dec 2007 marks the SL program for 1107As the SL rep for this program i would like to thank the following groups of people:-Miss Gillian Pang of Ling Kwang Home for the senior citizens for your unlimitedness patients in my lack of experience in this area. -All the stuffs and facillitators of Ling Kwang Home for the senior citizens into seeing the success of the performances today.-All the physiotherapists of Ling Kwang Home for the senior citizens for imparting certain knowledge to us that we have to take note of when taking care of the older folks.-Performers:1) Harmonicaa. For all your efforts in practising the songsb. For improvising when things crop up (like forget certain instrument but still continuing the performance)2) SingingYou guys ROCK! Ur powerful vocal cords brings up the atmosphere of the home man!I really appreciate you guys for really put in so much time and effort in the practice.3)BalletThank you for coming down for the performance although its like our class SL and i think you all live really far from there. Thanks for ur persistent and determination to finish ur dance despite the SEVERE glitch in the sound system for you part. i really appreciate it.4)PianoThe songs you all played really nice! Today is an eye-opener that classical musics can sound so exciting! 5)DancersAlthough OGL workshop save the practise time, but the effort is still there and i thank you for willing to perform onstage together. -Berlinda for all the lilies that you have made!I think it took quite long to get it all done up right. -Wee Han for your part in providing us with coordinated songs for the performance. The technical glitch was nobody's fault ya? =D-HuiWen for all the photographs that you have taken for all of us and old folks today. -Mr Phang, for taking your time in coming to watch our performance. Maybe many people have this opinion that SL is all about volunteering your time to do some deeds, I was one of them to be honest. But since embarking on this program, i learn that SL emcompasses much more. From the proposal, to the liasing with the organisation, to carrying out,this program can never succeed alone and it can not occur overnight. I have learnt alot through this experience, what proposals require and how to work well with people. I think the most valuable lesson i learnt from the performance item today is UNITY. I was firstly touched by the truckloads of efforts that all the perfomers put in. Next comes the technical error in the surround system on the ballet dancers. When I need to buy time for the people to set up the songs, ALL of you came forward to help, helping me give out the tokens so that i have more time to prepare the system. Imagine if all of you were indifferent, THE PERFORMANCE WOULD PROBABLY FAILED. 1107, WE ARE SO GREAT! love, esther.
