A Rainy day in AJC

A '16/06 song' ? During today's SL meeting, Yuann Shan suggested that we include a '16/06' song on top of a collection of Singapore-themed songs, as gifts (CDs) for the YBL members. No doubt the idea is an interesting one, but our SL leaders pointed out that a lot effort has to be put in for us to arrange our own music and come up with the lyrics. Then there is the question of the feasibility of giving them music CDs since a number of them may not actually own a CD player back home. Alternatively, we can give them stationeries. Then again what if some of them are visually-impared? Would they be able to use the pens and paper? Ultimately, we need to be sensitive to their needs and feelings when deciding on presents for them.

As for the music workshop for the AWWA and YBL members to prepare them for their upcoming concert which will be held on 20 March this year, we hope to enlist the assistance of Mr Toh (our Economics tutor) and Genim's friends to conduct the training in singing and instrument playing skills respectively. As for the rehearsals, some concerns were raised about the lack of break between the time slots for dry run and actual concert on the day itself. With respect to this, more re-scheduling and planning have to be done. These 'extra work' aside, our class should be proud that in our planning process, we actually kept the welfare of the performers in mind. Therefore, SL is also about the discovery of the values that each of us holds.
