hai.
band's getting damn sian nowadays.
leng's so frickin anal.
and pmsy
its damn annoying la.
he cares so much abt tuning and stuff
it gets damn boring for everyone else
minus the section tuning.
for them, its pure torture.
band is super sian.
in the past i went for band pracs
cause the people there were happy happy people
who tried to enjoy their music.
now everytime i go for band
everywhere i look
i see stone faces
everyone just too sian to do anything liao.
we can hardly breathe in band la.
every move we make will probably be slammed.
how to be enthu.
and leng really is quite unreasonable sometimes.
he always scolds us abt miserable and often unvalid problems.
sean made a super valid point la.
we're not some frickin poly band la.
we do have our studies to care for.
over here,
studies take precedence over music.
hello this is HWACHONG INSTITUTION leh.
not some cjc la.
piang eh. times have changed la.
even if they haven't
we come from almost totally different backgrounds
our priorities are all different
you can't expect us to devote all our spare time on band.
we have homework
tests stress and of course
our social life to sttend to.
band isn't our life.
at least, its not mine.
i wouldn't mind quitting band le.
i dont' care anymore.
who cares?
why pursue it when it becomes a chore and bore
instead of your passion.
its so stupid to continue isn't it.
its much like learning piano.
i stopped at grade 7 cause i thought it was boring
i hated piano lessons.
i liked playing the piano.
there's a difference here.
i don't like technical aspects of band
i like making music.
the same difference over here.
everytime leng says that we'll get kicked out if we miss one prac
i really feel like just skipping the concert la.
i mean, who cares.
anw there're so many ppl out there to cover me what.
and if i quit band
then i can just immerse myself in frisbee
which is getting more and more :D
while band is getting more and more ):
maybe their both related
but either way,
i don't care for band much anymore.
want to kick then kick loh.
who cares.
what's the band without its players anw.
actually
frisbee and band people
are fun loving groups of people
who truly enjoy what they're doing.
the difference is
the instructor.
david woon doesn't care much abt nationals in july.
his goal is to promote the sport and to keep people fit and healthy.
which is pretty much fine among us all.
cause all we want to do is just to have fun.
and mr woon's okay with that given his super flexible trainings.
leng's goal is to provide a good concert
which gets on my nerves sometimes.
cause sometimes (or rather, most of the times)
he gets too worked up over having a good concert
hence nag nag nag scold scold scold.
and then we all get sian diao
and lose our enthusiasm.
anyway i don't think leng is as good as he claims.
probably the reason why we were gushing over his conducting
the first few months was
cause we had mr lim which was like
a dead fish.
but compared to lim's predecessors
like mr yeo
leng really isn't that good.
and his playing isn't that good either.
tone-wise
he's much airier than a instructor and philwinds principal flautist should be.
uhh technique wise
he should be around there la
given his age and experience.
hai i don't like to write this kind of stuff
to denounce people
but i really feel like i have to
cause i really feel like i'm losing it.
):
like really damn sian la.
esp friday pracs where leng ALWAYS pmses.
damn badly.
then friday pracs will just drag on till imba late
then everyone will be damn tired
and then he says he's sorry that he held us back
but we all know that he's going to do that again the next week.
grahhhh.
hopefully it'll get better sometime soon
although i don't really expect things to change
there's just no reason to.
if anything, its just going to be worse.
because cider is the elixir of life
