Dearest Juniors and Fellow bandmates, It has been almost 8 months since i have ever stepped into the band room. I hope all of you are fine. As this is the new year of 2010, I shall continue to blog for OBBC's NY message. This maybe my last year writing this and i really hope that my juniors, would continue this OBBC tradition.
" 2009 had been an extraordinary year that i will never forget. As the band is facing a transition, Your senior, I, have to take up the responsiblities to manage all the band operations. From Band camps, Exchanges, Mr Wong, Exco and SYF'09. Moreover, i have left the band during pre-syf practises. I am sorry to cause so much hardship for all of you. Maybe i was being selfish in leaving you with an incomplete junior-life. However, no matter how much grudge i have beared towards the band and etc, i have never once given up on this section.
Inevitably, OBBC would change as the band was coerced to accept novel operations. Now that seniors have turned alumni and juniors(You) have turned senior, I hope you would not follow the similar footsteps i have took. As an alumni now and an ex-senior, flavoured with much experiences and emotions, i advise you, My beloved juniors, to always bear in mind of Never, to left go of Your Own Section(OBBC) or even the band.
OBBC approaches its 4th year and i have reiterated many times of how tough OBBC was created, how much tears have exchanged for a mere four letter word. I sincerely wish that you would treasure this section like how i had wish i could treasure. My time has gone and thinking about going back to OBBC is simply a fallacy. Leaving OBBC without regrets and knowing you have put in much effort to sustain or even to resurrect the section is what i wish and want all my juniors(you) to feel after your years in OBBC.
2010 would be another arduous journey for OBBC to move. The reasons are evident and conspicuous. I hope all of you would learn to appreciate, respect and treasure what you have now. Your alumni, I, could only pray for you, pray for a day of resurrection. I am confident that it is not difficult to see OBBC alive again. It simply needs a little effort from each four of you. Always believe in yourself, and never ever abandon your home(OBBC).
I wish all of you, A happy New year 2010. All the best for all the other alumni in their life, and best wishes for current OBBC-ians in your studies(O LVL) and in band "
Yours truly,
Rafe Chuan
