These are the co-curricular activities (CCAs) that I joined in NUS and TH (Temasek Hall) in the academic year 2009/2010, which was my first year in the university.
NUS Chinese Orchestra 國大華樂團
It awards 11 points for performing member and 8 points for non-performing member.
I've spent a lot of time in this CCA as there're sectional practice every Thursday for 2 hours and combined practice every Saturday for 5 hours at CFA (Centre for the Arts).
I joined as an erhu player as a continuation from my role in my high school's Chinese orchestra. Most of the pieces we practiced were impressionistic, which I don't really enjoy playing.
It relatively seems to be a prestigious CCA to join, but in there, I don't feel the bonding like what I felt in my high school's Chinese orchestra, perhaps partly was due to my personality.
They held the annual concert (Quintessence 三月天・匯) at University Cultural Centre in the 2nd semester.
TH Dance
It was a small scaled performance as the audiences were just hall residents - an internal one.
I was one of the choreographers who was in charge of a bboy item and check out the video on the right.
This was a bigger scaled one as it's external and the committee paid for all the expenses like transport and rental.
Hence we're not supposed to disappoint anyone but to put up a great show.
P/S: It's very stressful being a choreographer. Really...
I got 10 points and 1 demerit point because I withdrew from 2 items assigned to me due to study stress.
TH Production
TH Production Music Sub Committee
I've even composed a marching music using my keyboard to be played during the dismissal.
I was only awarded 4 points, plus 1 bonus point as I made original music for the dismissal (not very original also, haha...).

TH Twisters
IHG Closing
Before each practice, we had to do various kinds of stretching, which are very torturing for normal human being. Each session is about 4-5 hours till midnight.
I enjoyed joining TH Twisters, at least there're some physical exercises for me besides arts and cultural CCAs.
I was awarded 8 points for this committee.

TH XinYao 心謠
This is the committee I enjoyed the most as I compose and arrange Chinese pop songs.
TH XinYao consisted of 9 bands and each band practices one or two songs to be performed during internal concert, culture night, external concert and extra events.
