Dear Bloggie...

Let it rain down on me...I wanna feel alive again...

Hello all! =]

Everyone feeling great? Cool... no, COOL MAN! =X

Ok...Let's just jump straight in...

Woke up at 8am today...

Felt very heavy and I dunno why...

Eventually got out...

Bathed and had breakfast...

Went to NAS for band...

It's open house for NAS today...

So different CCAs will be showcasing their own CCAs...

And when I went to the 5th floor...

Everyone was having sectionals...

Went straight to the euphos...

Only Jaslyn was there...

James had SC duties, and Terrence...

Terrence is just, not there...

Went through some warm up stuff with Jaslyn...

And we were called back into the music room...

Thus begins my continous conducting...

So when there's people coming in to watch, I'd start the band to play a song...

We played Novena, Singapura Medley and YMCA...

I hate conducting YMCA, seriously...

I like conducting Novena the most, cause I can ask the chimes to whack like mad =X

So I think we played for about 9 times....

Novena and Singapura Medley was cut short, as we only played the fast part...

Though my hands were killing me...

It left a sense of satisfaction...

And I was supposed to go for this dialogue session at SP which was compulsory...

But I didn't...

Cause I know I will regret most if I missed NASband practice today...

So I know I've made the right choice, so whatever punishments I'll receive for skipping that dialogue session, I'm willing to face it...

During break, went to Mcdonalds with Jezer and Yihui...

I bought the new Mega Sausage Mcmuffin!

Actually it's just adding one more meat on it, that's all...

But it tasted great...

Back from break, at 10am, onli afew people were in the room...

And we were supposed to start playing soon...

The others came back a lil late cause they had to direct the parents to the toilet...

Seriously, why does the school ONLY have a toilet at the ground floor?

Ok nvm that...

So we played songs...

Till my hands/arms/ligaments went sore...

And I thought they were used to it, how wrong I was...

Grah...

The last audience enjoyed all three songs played one after another...

And that was it...

Ms Ong talked to the band and show her appreciation to me for coming...

And yes, I could have gone to that dialogue, but that would be wrong for me...

I felt touched by what she said...

With that I'll push on even harder...

I'd like to continue longer, but I'm down with flu now...

So maybe I'll just rant abit more and stop...

Afew years ago, freshly graduated from NAS...

I never knew how dedicated I would be...

All I know was that I have did my extreme best when I was in that school...

But once I graduated...

I just felt, empty...A life with no meaning or direction...

Even being in SP just didn't give me that satisfaction...

So I kept coming back to NAS, in particular, NASband...

One practice after another, I just kept coming back, like an addiction...

Practice after practice, it became something normal, automatic...

I still remembered my first time conducting the band...

I didn't know what I was doing, yet I held the baton like I was ready to take charge...

Let my instincts take over and let the music flow through me...

I was conducting....I really was....

And it felt good...

And through those years...

Up till now...

I've kept coming back...

To teach, to conduct, to lend a helping hand...

And most importantly, to learn...

Through thick and thin the band has nurtured me in one way or another...

Even though I have other associations or groups, NASband has always been THE one..

I just realised, I've went through alot...

Matured along the way, made friends....

And that has made me stronger...

Commitment...

Nah... I'd call it Passion...

So I'm done here...

Take carez everyone!

Good nightz and Sweet dreamz!

*Creme de la Creme...*

Zupz Zupz!
