Upcoming Performances!

2009-01-21T12:00:00.000+08:00

Hello all!

Sorry for the lack of updates since the start of Year 2009. We've been busy with school, work, practices, etc. Now its time for some fresh & new updates!

On 17 January ( Saturday )

37 MCO members went to Republic Polytechnic (RP) for a 'Youth Policy Forum' event organized by PAYC after MCO practice. The host advisor of the event is Mr Hawazi Daipi. We registered at the counter & each of us were given a goodie bag & a sticker to paste on our shirt. There're different colors on the sticker. Each color represents one group. They PAYC did a skit and discussed about the working society now and how Union can help by joining the Union. We were seperated into groups to discuss on some of the topics related to what they present earlier. After discussing & writing on the big plain white papers. We pasted the posters on the walls for exhibition. Every group were to walk around to see what the other groups discussed. Each person were give 5 red stickers and 5 green stickers. Red represents Disagree and Green represents Agree.

After the exhibition we had teabreak at the reception area which is outside the lecture hall. After teabreak we went back into the lecture hall & Mr Hawazi had arrived. He presented some slides discussing on the emplyment rate. After his presentation they had a Q&A session by Mr Hawazi & Mr Richard Heng. We gained some knowledge because some of us are still students and didn't know what is it like in the working society. After everything we had dinner buffet over there! The food was yummy. :D That sums up the whole event at RP that day.

MCO will be performing @ CHINATOWN during Chinese New Year Eve!
You probably can catch us LIVE on NATONAL TV!

{ ABOUT THE EVENT }

Together with a star-studded cast made up of MediaCorp artistes as well as contributions from various performing talents, the event will feature a two-hour live stage performance comprising song, dance, martial arts, interactive games to usher in the brand new Year of Ox!The theme for this year's campaign is "Hope & Happiness", which aims to instil optimism in the New Year amidst concerns over a looming economic climate. It hopes to boost business for the retailers and businesses in Chinatown during the festive season and to spread festive cheer to the needy and underprivileged in the community.

Mambo No.5

2008-10-12T01:57:00.001+08:00

Hey all!

I couldn't sleep yet so i came to MCO's blog to blog! Heehee. Anyway, JunWei has uploaded quite a number of MCO past performances videos on our youtube account. Do go and view it when you're bored. Its quite entertaining actually. Was viewing it through and i felt that WE REALLY ROCKS! I'm not trying to boast about it or what, when i watching those videos. I really feel that WE ROCKS! Hoho. Using 'mco-rocks.com' as our domain name is the right choice man! :D

To be frank, i actually viewed the forum, blog and youtube channel like 5-6 times per day EACH. :X Or even more than that sometimes. I hope more people would be more active in the forum. For blog you can probably tag on the tagboard like comment on today's post or something to like show you've been here, to show that you're active ya? Our youtube channel has like 181 hits now. Weeee~~ To see how many people really visits out blog everyday, i've placed a blog counter on the left end of the page. If you refresh the page it won't count as 1 hit. 1 IP counts as 1 hit. So if you see the numbers jump very big everyday, means there're quite a number of people viewing MCO blog.

Was viewing one of the videos on our channel and i felt this video is super funny! Its a video on MCO performs 'Mambo No. 5' during Sembawang GRC Ministers Appreciation Dinner at the Hilton Hotel on 1st july 2006. Why i felt funny, is because everyone shouted the "ARRRRHHHH HEEE!" in the front part then slowly behind i hear some macho and mature voice shouting but i don't know whom. & i got to know the 'whom' from JunWei that its actually our dear MR LOW! Haha! he didn't shout once ok, but like 2-4 times??! Melvin is the one screaming those high pitches, getting the atmosphere high enough. Somemore the song played until quite nice. One word to describe everything, GREAT! :D . Let me show you peeps the video.

Nice yah? :)

The N'level peeps came back & resumed their practice yesterday! Lets give them a round of applause to welcome them back~

*claps claps*
*applause applause*
WELCOME BACK home! :):):)

Time to say byebye now.
BYEEEE!

Birthdays-

2008-10-06T22:49:00.000+08:00

Hey all!

As you all know, birthday is a big day for everyone. Its the day where you were born to Earth & to breathe in oxygen from the surrounding air. We can't possibly give each & everyone a birthday gift for everyone's birthday so singing of the birthday song to the birthday girls/boys in 2 languages has became a tradition in MCO. After MCO practice, we'll sing birthday song to the birthday girls/boys that are having their birthday in that particular week. The birthday babies are being called to go up to the front & we'll start singing. An English version first followed by Chinese version. Sometimes we sing Malay version one too. Haha.

Below are the September babies:

From left to right:
QingRu, Jasmine, HonGie ( August ), WenHui, BenBen & Melvin

Video: YueRong, ShuYi & Adeline

O'levels will start in 3 weeks time. All O'level students do your best ok? All MCO peeps will be supporting you people behind! :D . N'levels should be ending soon right? GO EVERYONE! You all can do it!! Shall see you peeps after the exams!

I'll try to blog weekly yo. Because have to think of things to blog also. Haha. Support support ah! :P Anyway, i've placed a countdown thingy on the side of the blog. MCO PEEPS! There's like less than 100days to the concert! PRACTICE HARD ok? :D :D
