Confessions.Dear bandies, its been an awefully long time since i blogged lar..i think i haven't blogged here since the start of the year..Alright,the reason i've finally decided to blog,is for all band members to hear my confessions..don't mind as i'm treating you people as my diary,whether you people want to carry on reading from here onwards,is purely up to you. School.around the same time last year..i came into sajc,like some of you..through appeal..mainly because,i didn't want to stay in SRJC..and i had no hope of entering any other jc's through merit.I had sucky O level results of 17 pts.All i wanted to do was to carry on being a st.andrew's person..as i've been since the start of my education at accension kindergarten.and there was no other way in for me,but through band.Honestly,i was never very intrested in music at the start,when i joined band in sec1..my brother who was a former member of both sas and sajc bands compelled me into doing so..another main reason was my injury,thanks to you-know-who..i got injured by friendly-fire in sec4..it was not a slight knock..but one which caused 2 ligaments in my knee to tear..my chances of getting in through sports were also elimininated.I've gone through 2 syfs with sasmb,we won gold for both..when i finished my sec 4..i thought to myself..im a sportsman..and wth am i doing in band..until today,this very question still rings in my head. Well,time passed,my studies went down the drain...i made sacrifices for the band by shifting to trombone..when i failed by promo's and got all O's..all of a sudden..many things struck me.. 1)if i chose to promote..im going to do like shit for A's as my foundation was horrible. 2)when i repeat,im going to miss my j2 friends i treasure so dearly(alot of bandies included) 3)apart from studying well in the coming year..should i give way to my passion rather than my intrest/cca. When i answered these questions..i then decided to retain and go have my knee operated on.As most of you can see now,i'm almost fully fit.and here comes the part about passion over intrest..i'm keen on music,but my underlying passion is undoutly being a sports person or rather a soccer player.. i'm really sorry that i've to drop this bomb..but syf/presentation night will be the last band activity that i'll be involved in,together with the jc2's.Band dinner of course..well,jc1's..i've had my 2 years..i think you all should have yours too...spending 3 years doing the same this can get quite boring ,unless its something your passionate about..the enthusiasm i had for band is just dying although syf is approaching..i'm going to strive for the sake of the band..its just 2 weeks anyway..im sure i'll leave band seeing happy faces..people smiling with Glee..that we've achieved something..the jc2's+me..will be happy,to leave behind a legacy of excellance and sustained growth to the band.. lets make the coming coming days leading up to syf ones to remember,that will leave impressions in our hearts,minds and souls like footprints on sand..For these,are the days which we will one day..look back upon and smile and bring unforgettable memoirs. love, kumz at 12:32 AM 0 comments
