Jokes aside, our juniors said this straight to our face.
Even they could see what's happening here. Fun is fun, but you all should know when you need to be serious. Don't tell me you guys don't feel even abit embarassed? Even if you know you didn't do anything to make
your juniors think of you in this way. How about those who are guilty of such?
Guys, if you're thinking 'who gives a shit', you really have attitude problems.
SERIOUS attitude problems.
The points highlighted in
red are some of the things that are super obvious, just needing to be amphasised if you all can't see it yet. #4, on your part, is.. Come on seniors, really? The juniors's brain is programmed to emulate whatever they see done by
respected people, its NOT their fault.
And #6, the reason why we collect them in the first place to BECAUSE of #6! We've stoppped collecting 'em, cause we thought you've learnt abit from why we did it in the first place. Do we have to start doing again?
The ones highlighted in
blue are the things i can't stress out to you all any further!
THIS HAS TO CHANGE. Some of them can be laughable uhh, like #16. Ouh wait, thats the only one. And #11, try to work with it. The rest? They're
intolerable, got that?
We can't have our juniors to think about us in such a negative way.
We have to change for the better! Yes, well, I'm saying all this when yesterday was our last practice and Sunday is our last performance. This means that all of this is in the next batch's hands.
Music wise, there's nothing much to say cause its all okay on that part. But it's some of these off-music parts that stops us from improving even better. Its exactly 12months till our next SYF. Lets all do it right this time!
