Hi FoSO people, we are departing for the airport in 1 day time!!! Amazing!!! Off from that, you guys must meet at Changi Airport Terminal 1 before 10pm (reminder:Make it a point to arrive 10 mins before stipulated time) on Sunday 1 June 2008. Don't be late, unless you want to miss your flight. Apart from that, please remember to bring all your stuff that is stated in the packing tips plus anything else you need. For those who have not passed up your passports, please REMEMBER to bring them. For those who have not received the binded hand book or/and have not had the briefing by Mr Ikhwan , please meet him at the airport at about 9.30pm. Finally, please arrange in your groups for someone to bring an iron to iron your performance suits as the hotel will not have enough to cater to all the choirs there. Also, please be reminded that if you have any items which are imitation, meaning having a particular brand name but not the real original product, please do not bring them as you

This is a reminder for all Sec 4s going to Olomouc. There will be a briefing for you guys by Mr Ikhwan at 11.00am. Please attend the briefing as it has IMPORTANT INFO for you guys, including your responsibilities (since most of you are group leaders), etc. You will also be getting your programme booklet and ROOMING LIST!!!

Please take good care of your personal health and voices as we are leaving in 3 days time. Also, start packing (unless you want to be in a mad rush for items or want to splurge all your money buying essentials in Olomouc :P) Let us work hard, and create history.

Dearest FoSO people! Next practice for you guys would be tomorrow, 29 May 2008. Be at the music room by 9am sharp.

Please be there punctually as you guys have gone to SSCC before and should know how to get there, excuses will not be tolerated. Another reminder that there are only 6 days till we are flying off and therefore every practice is IMPORTANT.

Please take good care of your voices and abstain from all types of food that will affect the quality of your voice. Also do not shout and raise your voice unnecessarily. And please inform Ryan Tay if you cannot fit into your current vest if you have not done so. Work hard in continuing to give your 100% effort and focus during each practice! =)

Hello FoSO people! Next practice for you guys would be on 26 May, Monday. Be outside the music room at 1pm. This is also a gentle reminder that you should really get your passports handed in by Monday as we only have very little time left for admin matters. (unless you don't want to go for the trip you paid for, which I don't think any of you wants. :P) Please also remember to stay focused and revise your dynamics for songs and choreo. Also, within this 2 weeks, NO: - Chocolates (regardless of brand :P) - Dairy products (yogurt, cheese, milk, soya bean milk, etc.) - Fried stuff (includes snacks that you find in the school canteen.) - Spicy stuff (includes things like curry, chilli crab, etc. ) - Citrus fruits/ fruit juices are allowed for consumption.
