A little update.

Do note that all choir posts have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Use your discretionary powers to overthrow the government. (Yes, take that with a pinch of salt as well, or the whole salt flats.)

As stated: exco are allowed to add themselves as writer-contributors but NOT as administrators. That is to be left to the sole original saintschoir account. Kenneth, please redirect the administrator rights and remove yourself as administrator, because only you would be so boh-liao as to do something like that.

Oh my God, it's a giant grasshopper that landed on my window. -stares-

I know this is the choir blog and you think that your political views are humorous but please take a little sensitivity into consideration. Yes, we did say that we will be monitoring the situation regarding the administrator rights and all, and yes, we still do have contact with Ms. Gan.

So please, don't make us bite. :D We're very nice people.

I would like to muse a bit regarding Kenneth's post. I quote:

I reasoned with my mother during Dinner on why we, the choir's Exco, should be paid, using the similar argumentative points below.
- to prevent corruption and motivate us into better serving the choir
- because talent is rare in the choir and we are the few talented ones
- because if we're not serving the choir, we can have a much more carefree life and more time to do what we want, rather than dedicating that time to Exco meetings, etc...


*EDIT FROM KENNETH - Please note that the argumentative points I used were not mine but rather, Lee Kuan Yew's. I was using the same concept of Minister's high salaries and simply changed it to the choir context. I absolutely disagree with LKY and therefore used my mother's counter-argument to his absurd logic of being the highest paid ministers in the world.


Kenneth, you have to realise that Mr. Tay is right about something here. It's not about talent anymore. It's about the 3 A's which he has stressed so much to us regarding being a good chorister.
  • Attendance
  • Ability
  • Attitude
In choir, it's not about talent anymore. Sure, it gives you an advantage, but when we consider your positions in EXCO and MUCO we do not consider your so-called "talent", but rather the combination of the three which makes us think you are worthy of leading the choir. EXCO meetings are held because you want to make the choir a better choir. You want to understand what goes wrong so that you can develop each member as a chorister.

If you argue that your should be paid to lead the choir, then I surely think (no, actually, I know) that you are not passionate enough to be worthy of leading the choir in music-making, since it's all about money. Yes, I know, I took it with a lot of salt but I think I should clear the air before someone chokes to death and insists that the EXCO get paid. You'll find a lot of weird people like that in SASS.

And for the nth time, I'm glad you actually listen to your mother. Kenneth, rant more on your livespace, please. :D (For those of you who don't know, Kenneth does have a blog, to which I will link when administrator rights are returned to the appropriate accounts.)

Having fun in rehearsals?

BTW Kenneth I know I still owe a blogskin but since you admitted you wanted to make one, when will it be up? Or will it ever be up?
