Hello all (: Ms Poon's being emphasising many times during COALs that we need to get our cheers right. To start, I've been trying to track down the original versions of By the Light and Moonlight Bay. Trust me, it's REALLY hard /:

Anyway, just for background information, the music for By the Light was by Gus Edwards, while the words were by Edward Madden. It was published in 1909 (hoho, that was centuries ago!). There was a musical film in 1953 made by Doris Day (artist of Que Sera Sera) named after the song. I don't think there's any original artist for this song, but I could only get the slow version by Doris Day and Gordon MacRae. They did some duet in the movie. Choir folks can do the harmony and melody for the Sec1s during Orientation, haha! (You can find it on Youtube. There's a jazz version by Little Richards on Esnips.)


By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon
To my honey
I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon
By the silvery moon

Place - park, scene - dark
Silv'ry moon is shining through the trees
Cast - two, me - you
Summer kisses floating on the breeze
Act one, be done
Dialog - where would ya like to spoon?
My cue, with you
Underneath the silv'ry moon

By the light of the silvery moon
I wanna spoon
To my honey
I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon

Act two, Scene - new
Roses blooming all around the place
Cast - three, You - me
Preacher with a solemn-looking face
Choir sings, bell rings
Preacher: You are wed forever more
Act two, all though
Every night the same encore

By the light (not the dark, but the light)
Of the silvery moon (not the sun, but the moon)
I wanna spoon (not croon, but spoon)
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon (honey moon, honey moon)
Keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon
By the silvery moon
The silv'ry moon


Moonlight Bay's music was by Percy Wenrich, and the lyrics were by Edward Madden (same guy who did it for By the Light). The song was published in 1912, and also used in Doris Day's musical films. Actually, it was used in a lot of films, like Looney Tunes (Porky Pig was singing it while tormenting Daffy Duck) and Family Guy. I could only get a short clip from Youtube with John Denver. The clip's kinda rubbish, but that's all I can find. This song is really hard to get /: so I guess we'll have to look for a primary source of the song (since Ms Poon really wants to change the way we sing that song).

Oh, and FYI, The Beatles made a twisted version of this.

We were sailing along
On Moonlight Bay
You could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say:
"You have stolen my heart"
"Now don't go 'way"
As we sang love's old sweet song
On Moonlight Bay
On Moonlight Bay

The big 'O' ends today! (:

And prom night's coming up really soon...

Hello PCs! Exams are finally over (: (: (: ok, so with a little free time, I went to search our holding site. I'm not sure if I was looking at the correct one, but I think it should be the one we'll be putting up with for the next 2 years. Don't ask me why...it just looks correct.

Anyway, here are some photos that I took while racking the place. Once again, I'm not sure if it's correct, but if it is, then this will come in handy.







Probably where morning assembly will be held.



The classroom block area.





The basketball court. It's bigger than our current one, but covered with leaves and coconut husks.



A big field.







The canteen. It's actually quite spacious and stuff, but there is little space for the stall vendors :/



The tennis courts, which are behind the canteen.



This is a staircase beside the "courtyard" area which appears to be leading up to the hall or something.



This is in front of the "courtyard" area. The area just beside the yellow block is where the General Office of the previous school was.

Ok that's basically about it yeah. I couldn't really take much because the other places were quite inaccessible with tall grasses and stuff :/ as dilapitated as the area can be, it's quite convenient still. There's a swimming complex further down the holding site, and there are other eating areas around it. As for the cleanliness of the school, I'm sure it can be handled quite easily (: most of the leaves and grass around the place was due to the rain too. When the sun's up and we've cleaned the place, everything should look fine (:

That's all for now! (:

Love,
A nice soul.

SITUATIONAL TEST WAS AWESOME!

Haha, all of us were really crazy and going nuts. I think all the PPLs were traumatised by us :O

The Take Over, Take Charge and Aunt Agony stations were really wild ((: it was so exaggerated! There was a High School Musical 2 performance and Slashing Symphony. Some had different shoes on, while patriots wore a red sock on one foot and a white one on the other. Some poor girls were sniffing markers and hallucinating, while 2 sisters quarrelled over who caused their mother to leave. D: Gosh, we really are insane!

Hmm, we can still remember how we felt during OUR test. The most vivid image was Grace Ang wearing a lampshade (folded skirt, which looks like a lampshade because of all the creases), a shirt which has ends seeing the world, a first button that filed a divorce with the hole and socks that sank into shoes. Not to mention that she was holding a broomstick and jumping around ((:

Someone tell us about the other stations, please (:

P.S. We miss you too, Yu Sin!

Love,
Us again!
