So a lot of things have happened recently, from the PREPARATION to SYF, SYF itself, post SYF, and other random/crazy things which have been going on. Haha. 9th May: I actually cycled for 28+ KM today! It is a feat considering the fact that i have never cycled for like more than 10minutes ever, and that i have only cycled in school before this. Haha! Though i feel down and hurt myself, i still feel really accomplished! Fun day fun day. :D Though i did feel guilty over something else..
Preparation for SYF: Ahh! The practices leading up to the SYF was good i guess! I really liked certain points when we played the exciting parts, and some points where i could really feel the slow movements and all. Tuba sectionals were fun and productive too! As in i believe we did strike a balance between really having fun and practicing really seriously during sectionals. Happy times. Haha.
SYF: WELL, i know most of us would be disappointed with the results (Me included), but i know that WE DID REALLY PLAY THE BEST PERFORMANCE WE COULD GIVE ON THAT STAGE AND THE FEELING WAS REALLY GREAT. I guess i was just upset because it was a repeat of the 07's SYF. Sighh. But anyway, we should still remember to thank all those who have helped us such as the alumni members ( Just to name a few, Mr Yeo, Mr Sim, Reagan, Benny, Jian Hui, Benedict, Kenneth, Ben Thia, Xavier, AND THE LIST GOES ON), Mr Heng and of course Mr Glosz! He was the one who motivated us to really really perform for the music instead of just playing for the freaking medal.
Post SYF: Well first thing was that i knew there would be people questioning the band's standard without actually listening to us play. (Students, teachers ALIKE). Which would certainly piss all of us of, but the thing is, why bother what they say when they do not understand the point of performing in SYF in the first place? If they were so great, why didn't they do any f*cking thing themselves? And personally i think that it is okay that NYJC got a Gold, as in, they weren't THAT bad. We also cannot count out the possiblilty that they did play with emotion! Though if they did cut players 1 week before the SYF it does seem a bit superficial.. Though people might say that in the future we would be seen as of equal standard, as long as we ourselves know what emotions we have poured in the music, i really believe that ultimately, the medal does not count, ever.
Anyway with all the debate that AJC did not deserve a Gold With Honours while SA and VJC did, i guess it's just all about the Judges' perspective, which can be sub divided into other factors such as personal preference, acoustics of the hall, higher expectations, etc etc. I don't see the point of criticising AJC right now. Firstly, i believe there are actually people inside the band who do want to play for the PERFORMANCE regardless, the flute solo was good! But there doesnt seem to be any connection with the first part of the Euphonium solo though, though the second part was pretty good. But i did believe that if AJC got a GWH, i TJC should have definitely deserved at least a Gold. Though i didnt listen to them i definitely believed that TJC played well from what i have heard from other people, it may not be credible, but still.
SAJCCB still rocks man. :D And its time for the j1 batch of 2009 to shine! Hahaa.
Edit : OMG I FORGOT TO THANK ALL THE J2s TOO! Thanks for EVERYTHING! :D And Eric, come back and visit okay! Haha.

Hm i was just thinking of the fact that when i was in primary school, i was always in one of the lousiest class of the cohort, as compared to my brother who was in the top ranked class since he was primary two. I have NEVER got above 90 for my exams then, and i have never ever got an A* only till PSLE. Even when i got into the B classes in secondary school, be it sec1/2 or sec3/4, i have always been considered as one of the lousiest in my class because i always have just managed to scrape through. Well i may be pretty content with what i have achieved in the Os but somehow, i believe that it the situation is going to happen all over again in JC. But the thing is, you can't study last minute and expect to even pass your exams. I need to get used to the fact that i have to constantly revise even when there are no exams coming up. Also, the students who are in JC right now aren't the same as those in secondary/primary school. Basically EVERYONE studies/revises/mugs, and they are actually used to it. Having so many people in the band getting nearly twice my rank points doesn't seem to help, though it is ONLY the MSA. It's not like i am unaware of the fact that people did worse than me, but still.. Hmm all the best to me.. And for those who would rather be in polytechnic now, just be aware of the fact that your slot in JC was really very much wanted by many out there. So do stop regretting your decision and make full use of your time in JC because reflecting on lost oportuinites really would not help make you feel better. Just face it as you would face life when you face difficutiles. OH AND I REALLY WANT A 100/200 PAGE FILE FOR MY BAND PIECES! Haha. Utterly disgusted with certain people.Current Mood: exanimate
