it's been a year...

jennings reminded me of something today.

it's exactly a year since i took over as Guitar 3 Section Leader and became part of the 10 people strong EXCO. not that i'm stepping down yet, but it still officially marks 1 year of term i guess(:

over the past one year, many things happened, more than what i can remember. there were good, happy, enjoyable times, and there were also upsetting, stressful moments. but one can't have the best of both worlds, can he? so i won't remove those bad times from my memory, 'cos they will make me cherish those wonderful memories even more.

whether or not i had fulfilled my duties as an SL, i guess it is not for me to say. but, i really hope i did, although i am already disappointed in myself for just not putting in more effort to go the extra mile, as well as not carrying out a few promises which i made. oh wells =/ just hope that i had made a difference in the lives of my fellow members, as well as my other fellow guitarists.

and i must admit, guitar as cca by itself would not have been made possible without the passion and dedication of the guitarists. in fact, they are the ones that make me look forward to guitar practices, especially after a boring day of lessons. i would definitely miss them so much after seniors' farewell :(

now that 1 year has passed, i would say, now, that i do not regret applying and then stepping up as an SL. in fact, it enriches my guitar journey by 101% i'm sure. although sometimes, i tend to reflect over whether i had made the right choice, whether all that i'm doing is worth it, whether the sacrifices were worth it, but i kept reassuring myself that what i'm doing is right. and i'm glad i did; otherwise, i may just as well give up.

come to think of it, i think at least half of my jc life revolves around guitar. it's just amazing i guess(: guitar is life! haha

i love guitar((: really!

jiayou for esplanade concert!





today started off okay, then gradually my mood sank and sank (because of you!), butttt, it got lifted up (because of you again!), so i'm (= again.

somehow, i dunno how, u just made my day. (:

anw, feel so useless when i can't help u with your troubles, but don't worry too much yea? and seeing u so tired i xin tong :( must rest more! =)

(although u won't be reading this)

GUITAR CONCERT! =D

concert was a blast! can't really believe it's over alr! i enjoyed myeself to the fullest, and i'm sure all of us did, including the audience(: we smiled to the music, we swayed with the music, and most of all, we felt the music in us; at least i did :D a big thank you to all who came down to support us, and me! haha.

to jamie, yi hui, stella, wai leng, evelyn and yuanqing, thanks for cheering for me during the concert, and for your beautiful roses and lovely messages(: really appreciate your presence there(: <3 ya loads! glad you all enjoyed youself at the concert!

(haha, i realised i got too high at the end of the concert, that i ended up blabbering rubbish to my frens. ahhh dieee! haha)

and to guitar 3! good job guys! we tried our best alr, i'm sure(:

to postwomen! we rock! ahhhh i'll miss playing postman like madddd!

to the excos! omg, we did awesome during tears in heaven! one song out of the many songs that i enjoyed best! at least all our practices are didn't go in vain(:

and to yu ping, shan and the rest of the excos, for all the effort and hard work put in to make this whole concert a success!

ahhh, now i miss every single moment of the concert :(

nvm, there's still the esplanade concert! so jiayou guitarist! can't wait to hear the alumni pieces as well!

haha njguit rocks!

& i heart njguit(:



on a side note, my cheeky classmates drew this:

and i like it alot! ( the drawing k!)

haha, if only.. (:

haha fine i shall update!

2 weeks into term 3 alr =/ so freaking fast! tsktsk

it's youth day today! or rather youth day holiday off in-lieu. haha and guess wat? the COOL guitarists spent it in NJ! HAHA so much for it being a holiday for us. but it's okay, since it's for the upcoming concert, and hanging out with guitarists is always fun(: no better way to spend my last youth day hol as well! =D

can't really remember what happened in the past 2 weeks. hmm. highlight would be the getting back of common tests results? haha, fared relatively ok la, so i should be happy(: then, had lesson after lesson, day after day, a routine that keeps repeating -.- sian. i needa study! not mug btw. haha, i find myself beginning to dislike the word 'mug', which has more and more negative connotations. lol random.

anw, can't believe guitar concert is just this friday! O.O in just a mere 4 days time! omg! intensive practices this week! haha, will be going home super late on tues and wed, and i kinda look forward to it, haha weird me. really wish to savour every moment that is left of my time in the ensemble, cos i'm sure i will miss is soo soo much when i step down :( so must really cherish the time that's left.

anw, there was this one period (sometime last week) when i really felt that i failed in my role as an SL; the thought just sort of sinked into me at that moment, and i can't help but feel that i have let my members down :( it made me think whether i have really tried, whether i have put in my fullest effort coaching my members. and i guess i tried, but just not enough. can't believe i took 1 full year to realise this; when it's all already too late. but still, i'll continue to fulfill my duty as an SL as my term draws to an end, and not leave anymore regrets. i'm also grateful to my wonderful section 3 members for their encouragement and affirmation they gave me(: it makes all the difference, really. ty so much(:

was feeling kinda uptight today during sectionals, haha. was quite worried for guitar 3 as the ip2s just returned from obs, so i guess i came down a little to harsh on you all =/ ahh sorry! especially to wanghan, haha, for being so unsympathetic. i kept like saying 'why cannot play', ' i thought you said you would practice', until he gave a strong reply of 'can't you see that i'm trying!' wah, shocked me. upset me a little too. after that, i realised i was partly in the wrong, afterall he's already trying so hard, yet here i am rubbing salt into wound, and not even a word of encouragement. wat an SL man -.-nvm, at least i realised my mistake, and hope not to repeat in again. sorry again, guitar 3!

oh, congrats to exam group for achieving DISTINCTION!!! njguit rocks!

and as mentioned, guitar concert is this friday!!!!!! String Theory - Love Picaresque!!! hope it will be a SUCCESS. or rather, it WILL be a SUCCESS, yea it WILL. just give our all, and whatever it is, we'll have no regrets(:

ahh.. excited =D
But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a guy like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
