Miss me too, please?

Dear Bloggie!

Over the speakers, it was the last call, he dashed to the gate hoping to find the girl of his dreams before she disappears forever...

HELLO WORLD! =]

How's everyone feeling? Good? Awesome.

This week has been zero band progress for me.

Cause Monday and Tuesday I was at RI for the race which ended late.

Adding to that I had Gebiz to do so I had to rush home to do it.

Today there was no band, no gebiz, but tidying up some attendance for the Forum on 2nd November.

And tomorrow is Hari Raya Haji.


Goodness, time flies so fast! Too fast! Slow down! I can't catch up! *Gasp*

And my bestest of the best friend, my dearest Chingu Junzhu is on a plane towards Korea now.

I must admit, I do miss her, alot... Okok, just enough so she won't feel bad... =]

Which somehow got me down reflecting the past two months of knowing her...

Yes I know, it's such a short span of time...

And honestly even I'm dumbfounded to explain how we just somehow became close...

I mean, she's just, perfect...

Somehow she reflects who I was, and what I was going through in my past...

I can relate very well...

And just like her, I can be stubborn and get easily distracted too...

But somehow within a year or two, I taught myself to focus on the important and stick to it...

Ok, more of people who are important...

She's important to me, and my focus is on her... =]


At the same time I need to keep pushing hard at what I do...

I'm fighting my battles too, and I'm gonna win...

Secret is, to take it one step at a time...

Patience, Focus, Determination and Strength...

Let's do this together... =]]

*I'm never ever ever gonna leave ya, chingu.*

Zupz Zupz!

the show must go on

Dear Bloggie...

As the curtain rise, the Emcees introduce the band, my time to shine draws nearer...

Hi ya'll! =]

Honestly sometimes I don't know where life takes me...

Just afew weeks back, I was a full time camp facilitator...

And now, I'm embarking on a new journey...

But my dad wants me to go down another road, a road that's more stable...

I mean I want that for me as well, but again I find myself touching my heart...

I've been raping my heart quite often recently...

Asking about love and all that...

Anyhoo, Balestier Hill Secondary Band is quite similar to Ngee Ann Band...

Their size and skills are quite similar...

I haven't heard them play as a combined band yet, but the sec 1s sound very promising...

Tomorrow I'll be  going down again to hear the whole band play...

I'm really really glad to be given this opportunity to work with youths...

Especially doing the thing I love most, BAND! =]


But lets just, take a step back shall we...

And truly understand the meaning behind all this...

As you look through a new piece of music, what do you see?

Yea sure, you see, tempo markings, dynamic chances, key signatures...

But do you literally see the music flying off from the pages...

The notes, singing their melody to you...

Do you, hear, what the composer is saying when he writes, Allegro...

Yea you can be technical and say that Allegro is 120 beats per crotchet...

But do you feel it?

Does it make you aware, make you wanna dance?

I do...

It just excites me to know I will be making music...

And eventually touch the hearts of the audience through the band I'll be conducting...

This is the beginning of my journey, and I hope I will go far...

I really need to work hard now...

FIGHTING!!!!

*Music has the ability to alter your emotions, be there for you when times are bad, and make you happy when times get mad*

Zupz Zupz!

Homeostasis

Dear Bloggie...

Touch your heart, think deep, do you know who you are?

Hi World!

We are humans.

To err is human.

We are bound to make mistakes.

Some with much more dire consequences than others.

But in all, it's part of being, human.

Even our human parts, gets exposed to lots of crap.

Sound pollution, Air pollution, Water pollution.

Does that mean our human parts give up? Stop, being, human? O.o

Nope! =]

It regulates, replenish and reconciles.

Through the process of homeostatis.

If it drops too cold, our heart pumps more blood, we start to shiver to create heat.

If it becomes hot, we perspire, cooling our skin.

If there's one thing we can learn from this, is that we should behave like human beings.

If we get our hearts broken, we find ways to reconcile.

If people hurt our feelings, we hurt them back, NO, that's wrong! We help show them the way.

We try and we try, cause that's what we can do. Being Human.

Sure, you can be sad, you can rant, you can be angry or whatever.

Just know that at the end of the day, you're not so hard on yourself.

Live life the way YOU want, as humanly possible.

This is but a reminder for myself and anyone who BOTHERS reading. =]

Take care!

Zupz Zupz!

Music is Love

Dear Bloggie...

Tapping his gentle fingers in tempo, vivace allegro molto con brio. Accelerando!

Life has been quite smooth so far...

Went for Mus'Art Wind Orchestra Concert on Sunday...

Mrs Chua invited me to come cause she wanted to meet me to talk about something...

It's amazing to see her again...

Surprised that she actually remembers me...

Interesting...

Anyhoo, I'm offered a job...

As a conductor!

It's for a junior band...

And I'll probably start on my own only next year...

So from now till then, I'll be going through training with another amazing conductor...

Ms Tan who plays the French Horn...

This has been what I've always wanted since I joined band in sec school...

I'll never let go of this opportunity...

Gotta thank Hansel for asking Mrs Chua and hooking me up...

So yup, hopefully I'll go on the musical journey and be a successful conductor one day... =]

SMILE SMILE SMILE SMILE SMILE! =]

Zupz Zupz!
