Chill...
Yo Moulmein members,
I was surfing the internet when I read an interesting article. Excerpt from Insane Polygons:
1. Anyone can pretend to be anyone in the tagboard.
I've played in West Winds before, and although I've left the band last century (!), I still know quite a few of the people there. The band is made up of very good amateur and professional wind band players who will certainly not sully their own band's name by coming across to our blog to flame our band.
2. It is good to show pride for your band...
...but on the other hand, please do not put other bands down when people who say that they are from other bands come into our blog and slimeball us. And please refrain from using vulgarities of any sort to slimeball them - that's just playing to their level.
Instead, let us in the exco handle it. We are going to send an e-mail off to members from West Winds soon and tell them that someone or a group of people claiming to be from West Winds has been smearing their band's reputation by putting remarks of this sort, and ask them to issue a statement to put up on our blog in response. [In fact I am going to do so after I finish this blog posting]
Let the music we make in the next concert speak for itself.
In the meantime, to the temporary tagboard resident(s) signing off as WW_Elite, WW_Member and WW_Best (assuming you're from West Winds): thank you very much for your comments.
Our members know that we can always do better. On behalf of the Toa Payoh South Community Centre - Moulmein Wind Symphony, please send my best regards to the West Winds conductor, exco as well as members. I heard their version of Symphonia Hungarica early this year and I congratulate them for a job well done. Moulmein has much to learn from them and I hope that we will have a fruitful band exchange not too long into the future.
While at this, it is important to take note of the following to all members from Moulmein (and those of other wind bands) who are reading this:
The TPSCC-MWS exco takes a serious view of anyone who claims to be from Moulmein and uses our name to put other bands down in cyberspace. It has never, does not, and will never encourage such childish, destructive and foolish behaviour from our members and any bands who encounter such trolling behaviour is highly encouraged to report the matter to us as soon as it occurs.
Peace and joy to musicians of goodwill. :-)

Why get upset over what people think about our english. Frankly speaking, it is what it is- singaporeans do speak a funny form of english and the singaporean accent is something we all have. If other people choose to laugh at it, so be it. It matters not.Take a chill pill, mates: -
Finally someone going by the moniker of eagleeyes has been visiting my blog quite regularly leaving behind many comments. Honestly, I appreciate it...The fact that the comments are rarely complimentary really matters not to me.
He doesn’t agree with me.
He thinks I am some stupid loser whiner who don’t know shit from sunshine.
He thinks I suck as a teacher.
Again it matters not to me. If he wants to vent and venting makes him feel better, then more power to him. Stupid stuff happens in life all the time and sometimes, you just have to learn that those stupid stuff- when you get right down to it, really matters not.
