Prayers

1. For all J2's to have the discipline to manage studies and band!
2. For J1 Band Members to get settled down to JC life and work hard as a new band member
3. For all band members to be blessed with good health as this would be a very hectic year.
4. Every Band Practice will be productive and filled with fun and laughter, peace and joy.

izit realli tt bad???


ok this is juz regarding nic's previous post bout "negativities" developing in e band... i DO feel a lack of life in band... as in pple r playing fer e sake of playing... more like a lack of drive. well honestly i think tt it is "post-results releasing" thingy, pple r not merely worried n down bout their OWN results, but more fer their BANDMATES' results. wat i think is tt pple r alr at e stage of recovering n getting over e matter of results... getting back into form. juz wait n see...

as for things like pple comin' in late fer band, e dota incident, it's e matter of a few "black sheeps" eh?? n to put it across very crudely, i believe no one in e band (yes, NO ONE in e band) has enuff charisma n persuasiveness to talk these pple out of their current state off mind. i'm sorrie to say this, but YES, not even our 3 leaders hav enuff charisma to do tt (no offence tho =X). it's no one's fault, maybe it's their upbringing, they're brought up in such a way where they do NOT hafta think bout other's feelings, emotions, consequences of their actions, cos there's bound to be someone to clean up e shit fer em (my apologies again fer being so uncouth wif my language). MAYBE. well i shud say it's developing into some sort of a social conundrum. MAYBE. i shud say it's rather unintelligent of us to get into such a fit due to a handful of pple whu do not think enuff. to close this case, this prob has almost no solutions, whu dare say "i hav enuff charisma to talk them into a whole new group of pple??", this is not being pessimistic, it's merely being realistic, very.

some of u reading this entry might alreadi be questioning my commitment level in e band at this pt of time. but let's get this straight la, apart from moving on as a batch n improving as a band, we HAFTA be realistic bout such things sometimes. being idealistic is one thing, being unrealistic is another. sad to say, some hav juz crossed e line. i hope i'm not sounding realli negative or like some spoiler up to this pt.

next thing, some of us seriously haven't grown outta secondary school yet. growing outta sec sch doesn't mean "not missing sec sch times" or "not visiting sec sch band anymore". it's more like a mindset n way of handling matters, attitude towards things i would say. MAINLY way of handling matters n generating ideas. some of us still can't grow outta it, we might be physically at e end of JC1, but some of us r realli onli at sec 3 in terms of thinking, i think tt's realli saddening. n it WILL, in time to come, affect e growth of the band. like i've mentioned earlier, increasingly no of us r brought up in very sheltered environments batch after batch, pple think less as a result. now tt our academic assessment fer this year is over, i think it's about time we assess ourselves as seventeen year olds; hav we realli worked n played n slogged n hav fun in e past yr like seventeen year olds? hav we realli thought n acted under circumstances in e past yr as seventeen year olds? i bet some of us haven't.

ok i think i've said quite a lot alr. all in all, things ain't tt bad. so stop amplifying matters into such a huge scale ya? things hafta start from a personal level. do ur part la, things won't seem tt bad then (tho they aren't tt bad to begin wif).
