Part 2
1. Xing Li (3 times)
2. Those extra two beats (Amanda plays three but we only hit the last two, we don't hit when she hits the sides)
3. Two piak-piaks X 2 (when the Da Tous and Lions take their head thingies out) (not important in your notes because we're not playing during that time)

Part 3
1. Starting (minus the first two piak-piaks)
2. Qi Shi
3. Shou Gu (triplet) minus the [1-123 *pause*] X 3 thing

Points to take note of
1. Da Tou is FOUR TIMES, after that don't hit! It's supposed to be a pause! Remember the pause! You know, it's when I always shout "DON'T HIT!" but there are always people hitting anyway. So, don't hit during the pause, it's supposed to be a clean silence. If you dont' know how to count the fours, just count the number of times you play the fast 1-2-3s. After you play it the 4th time, immediately pause. Joycelyn, you keep making this mistake! Jiayou!

2. THE RUN!!!!! LOOK OUT FOR WHEN AMANDA RAISES HER HAND. WHEN SHE RAISES HER HAND, IMMEDIATELY PAUSE! BE ALERT! KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON HER HAND.

3. Qi Bu: You guys know when to start counting the seven right? The beat changes. She goes louder and louder too. If you don't know how to start counting, PLEASE LOOK FOR ME TOMORROW! Also, remember after the 7, it's 1-2--1-2 *pause* 1--1-2-3! (One dash means short, two dashes mean long. Ok if you guys don't get it look for me tomorrow) Some of you guys still beat during the pause. There's a pause ok! (I used to hit during the pauses too but I managed to change my habit this year already!)

4. Xiao Qian: When Amanda raises her hand really high, REMEMBER TO PAUSE! Don't keep hitting. Again, BE ALERT! KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON HER HAND!

5. The first part of the Shou Gu (6-step): Remember, you hit when Amanda hits. When she places the stick lying down, you PAUSEEEEEEE! NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!!!! Amanda usually bends down and outstretches one hand (so that she can put the stick lying down). So when you see she's getting ready to go to that part already, common sense will tell you to get ready for it too right?! Keep your eyes on her! ONCE again, BE ALERT! KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON HER HAND!

6. Shou Gu (triplet): Jocelyn (the sec 4 one), remember that it's only three sets of three! Don't hit during the pause! You always hit during the pause. Jiayou (:

Lastly,
Don't forget what I kept repeating during this post:
BE ALERT! KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON HER HAND!
Remember everything I posted here ok? Because I'm spending a lot of time and effort on this post and my mum's killing me for being on the computer so late. AND YOU GUYS'D BETTER MEMORIZE THE SEQUENCE AH! DON'T DON'T DON'T FORGET!!
Enjoy yourselves tomorrow! (But don't enjoy yourself so much that you forget everything)
And if you have any doubts, look for me tomorrow when we're doing makeup okay! Or if you have this bugging question you're afraid you'll forget by that time, SMS me at 81586551.

Ok, ALL THE BEST FOR TOMORROW CYMBALISTS (and everyone else doing CNY)! I LOVE YOU GUYS!


P.S. You guys must thank me when y'all see me tomorrow k. I'm the sweetest senior/dancemate ever, admit it. :D
