Letter from me to you

To: Kranji Symphonic Band

MY DEAR JUNIORS,

I know that there is this disappointment which lays in all of your hearts. I want all of you to know that this kind of feeling too lays in me as much as you do. The feeling of disappointment is kind of difficult to understand but please trust me my dears, i do. My Sec 4s, do you still remember the time, two years back, when we got the result? I cried very badly, worse than all of you did on Friday. The purpose of this is to encourage you.
ALL OF YOU REALLY DID A GREAT JOB.
Many may not know this but i really do feel like tearing when you were on the big and bright stage. Every squeak from the clarinets almost torn me apart. Every mistake made almost made my heart stopped. You know, when i saw this man in red cap shaking his head when you were performing, i feel like slapping his head and make him headless.
(LOVE TO SHAKE A LOT RIGHT?? GO HOME AND SHAKE ALL YOU WANT!!!)
The performance was great!! Really great. I recorded the pieces down and i would want that overture number 1 to be my ringing tone if i have record the piece nicely.
The sound was impressive!!!
The part where the brasses raised their instruments was magnificence!!
The whole thing looked grand.
Everything went well!
Silver is just a mistake.
A huge one.
However, what is good about life is that everything came in not only just a chance. Although this is the only chance for this and next year but my darlings, you still have 2011!!!
My sec 2s and some of my sec 3s, try it again.
Sec 4s and Sec 3s, impact the skills to them. Let them complete the mission for you.
My dear majors, Zhenyi and Peisi. You did your best!!
Babe, i saw your effort!! Don't cry anymore can?? For the first time i feel really helpless. Because you teared and you don't even talk to me like before.
My dear clarinetists, you matter to me!!
Your tears almost drowned me!!
When Peiwen told me that she cannot cry, my heart shattered. Even my juniors, my Sectional Leader had to act a brave front in front of my section.
I feel really very bad. It is just like i cannot even do anything to make them happy. Every drop of tears are so precious and yet i cannot even catch it.
YOU DID WELL, YOU REALLY DID. HOW CAN I SAY IT TO MAKE YOU CONVINCE OF THIS SIMPLE FACT??
My dear, you did well. Pick up yourself and start everything okay?? I hope that you can take in my advice. it is not good to dwell in this for too long. The future is still in your hands and you all still have a long way to go.
JIAYOU, KRANJI SYMPHONIC BAND
Love,
