I finally settled down to mug. I swear it was difficult. It’s rather late to start, I would admit. Three weeks is all I have and faith is all I’ve got. Well, guess when everything seems to be working against you, dispair is the last thing you should do. A little faith goes a long way you know.
My FM teacher, Mdm Koh: “Don’t be too optimistic.”
Right.
Work hard, I will. Make it, I will. Don’t worry, and you know what comes next.

I finally went back to HSCB last monday. Yes, I missed the physics practical in the morning(again). I was sick and woke up at 1pm that day. Nevertheless, I still decided to make my way to Hai Sing. It’s a good feeling to be back, to see my juniors and to hear some familiar voices. Infact, I really missed those days I’m in Hai Sing.
However, I thought I was abit too harsh on my juniors that day. They were having sectionals. I couldn’t believe how much the standard of flute section differs from before. Singapore Rhapsody2, a song they played before, was a very very simple piece. Yet, they sounded as if they had never ever seen the piece in their whole entire life. I even witness a flute fall to the ground.
After Andy had finished going through Singapore Rhapsody2, I gave them a lecture. I quoted XinHui about how she’s very proud of our section, her juniors, and told them how they don’t really live up to the expectation. I may have gone abit too far, but I hope they will atleast process what I had told them, do some self-reflection and show some improvements.
September 1st, 2005» What keeps us together
- 10:38 pm
Life’s been rather complicated these period of times, if you are wondering why I had not blogged. Well, it’s frustrating, as always, to have a family you love so much yet unable to bring yourself to show how much you love them. Somehow, I’m tongue-tied or rendered helpless when it comes to expressing my concern for them.
I do shout at them when my mood’s horrible or even when they try to initiate a conversation when I just don’t feel like talking, and vice-versa. Nevertheless, I believe it’s a common understanding among us that we will not be able to carry on in or with life without any one of us. It has been proven. This is what keeps us together, I reckon.
PS: I miss HSCBand!
