GUANYUE IMPROMPTU GATHERING -
A TOTAL SUCCESS!After returning from their overseas trip to Malaysia on the 18th of March, many members were suffering from hangover - missing GUANYUE!! As it was observed from many of their Windows Live Messenger (MSN) nicknames, Ms Clarissa Yew Xiyu, 15, 'IM BACK! &missing chuguo already D:'. It soon spread like an epidemic, almost every single Guanyue member who went overseas had 'I LOVE GUANYUE', 'I MISS GUANYUE' or 'CHUGUO ROCKED' on their nicknames or personal messages. This showed how impactful the trip was on them. Ms Goh Jie Ting, 16, team leader of blue team woodwind sub-section said in an interview, "I would like to thank all Guanyue members for their cooperation during this trip, I believe everyone had an enjoyable time eh? :D"
At roughly 2 in the afternoon, while suffering from the hangover, Ms Goh Jie Ting, together with Mr Daniel Lim En Yang, 16, leader of Suonas '07-'08, Ms Han Hui Jing, 15, sectional leader of the Dunman High School Chinese Orchestra (DHSCO) woodwind section '08-'09, as well as Mr Teoh Jia Yu, 15, Chairperson of DHSCO '08-'09 decided to organize a gathering for the woodwind section later that day at 5pm, to be held at Ms Goh's house, located at Eunos. It was decided that they will engage in activities such as playing of video game Guitar Heroes, and ordering Pizza Hut for dinner. Ms Goh and Ms Han then started contacting members of the woodwind section, and to their surprise, they managed to get a total of 12 people to attend the gathering.
It was observed that everyone did put in effort to attend the gathering, even if they were packed with work to do. Ms Chong Yi Jing, 16, as well as Ms Lim Shu Hui Eunice, 16, rushed down to the event venue after watching a movie, and Ms Wong Shi Min Dorothea, 13, attended the event despite having piano lessons till 7 that day. Ms Veronica Lum Yen Yeu, 14, as well as Ms Han Hui Jing purchased food and beverages for the beastly lot, who ate and drank like they never did before.
EVENT HIGhLIGHT.
It was concluded that the dizis were rather hopeless. A friendly match of guitar heroes was held among the different instruments. Of course, needless to say, Ms Chong owned everyone else, so in this news report we shall leave her out. Despite facing strong opponents, the dizis put up a strong fight, sending representatives Ms Pang Shi Hui, 13, Ms Mah Looi Han, 13, Ms Lum Yen Yeu as well as their special pedalist who claimed that she was very good at the pedal, Ms Jeenise Ng Lee Shan, 16. Their perseverance, although leading them to nowhere, is the right spirit one should hold.

The group of 12 decided to have a family photo shoot, with serious expressions and decent postures. However, they faced more than 5 failed shots, thanks to Divina Elleria, age to be kept a secret, domestic helper at Ms Goh's house. Everyone was getting restless, and soon enough, they decided to get Mr James Bond, Ms Goh's father, to take over.

Soon after, it turned rather hay-wire, spasticism.

After family photos, the group proceeded on with taking their own random shots. Due to the unsuitable content of the photos, we shall not report with words on this section. A picture paints a thousand words.

Who would have expected demure looking Ms Jeenise Ng to take that plastic thing at the centre of pizzas as barbie doll chairs? Well, this proves that appearance can be deceiving.

Ms Han Hui Jing, being careless as she always is, ended up having a forfeit of 15cups of water, while playing a drinking game. It was to all of our amazement that Ms Quek Li Qin, 16, actually mentioned at the end of the game that she did not drink a single cup of water, when the average was at least 5 full-to-the-brim cups per person. It was really hard to believe.
Everyone had a great time at the impromptu woodwind gathering, and the party lasted till 11pm, with Ms Yew, Ms Lum and Mr Daniel Lim as the last few who left the venue. All tired, but the spirit was held on, and passion continued burning.
