wad in the world is up.

finally. i'm a free man.

OP'us 2011 was definitely a blast. we blew the audiences away. i couldn't put into words how i felt throughout the entire process of preparing for this concert as well as the feeling when it was all over. two months ago, i had my SYF competition and it wasn't very impressive in terms of the result. and here i am, two months later, pulling off an awesome concert together with my fellow musicians and alumnus. we played nothing but music and i can really feel it through my body. tremors of awe just shook my body when the last three notes of Third Symphony 'The Tragic' Movement IV (Finale) was played. and there goes. four years in a Wind Orchestra is over. i never thought i could pull through. i even thought of quitting it in sec two. but i am standing stronger than ever and proud to say that i was a band member. i was from Orchid Park Wind Orchestra.

to be honest, concert day never felt like a concert day yesterday. but to be more honest, i started panicking a week before concert day because i know i couldn't play all the notes to tempo. i even thought of coming back to sectional everyday. in the end, i had no choice but to squeeze everything one day before the concert day itself. i was panic-stricken but it was great. i felt calm on the concert day. and it didn't feel like a concert. it felt like another rehearsal. and it was the and utmost superb rehearsal ever. i can tell anyone, that they have missed out so much of great music within the two hours. not to brag, but that's fact.

so i guess now all that's left to do for me and the sec fours is to relax and think about our studies. we would all eventually get use to not waking up early on Saturdays but for beginners, it is going to take awhile. i would feel odd going back home early on Wednesday and Friday and not sleeping early on Friday night to wake up on Saturday morning. but this is all memories. i would definitely visit the band some day. maybe when i am really free. but not right after i stepped down. that would just be awkward. to be honest, i can't wait to step down and pass over all the responsibility to the juniors. i've done my part for the year and it's their turn. i know everyone is feeling sad and reluctant to move on and so do i. but hey, you're not going to live forever. life has to go on. now the band without a conductor is just sad. the new batch going to take over the band has to do alot of work. and i really hope that they can do it proper. pray for the best.

and i napped like ten times today. it's called post-concert syndrome. damn i should really get up now.

Alhamdulillah, i am grateful for everything.

Wow. Five years since my last post. Well, a whole lot has changed in five years. I never knew what dreams are made of and i never knew what it was like to achieve your dreams. Through hard work and pure grit and determination, you can achieve your dream. There will be times where you think your goal is just out of reach or it will take you a longer time than originally hoped for but trust yourself to make small leaps of faith and many unimaginable things can be achieved. As a Muslim, i believe Allah is the best of planners and alhamdulillah, He is the best of planners. There were times i doubted myself about my life and what i wanted to do because the journey to achieve my dreams is taking longer than i had imagined. Five years ago i was still in the National Service serving in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as a Third Sergeant taking NSmen for Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and conducting Remedial Training (RT) as well as IPPT Preparatory Training (IPT). In 2014, i had

two is better than one.

it's 12th August, which means i am into the 12th day of fasting. how was is that! it felt like only yesterday that Ramadan started. THANK GOD! but 12th August also means 13 days to Prelims! and 70+ days to Os? damn. i really got to work my shit out and start revising. i bet the entire cohort says that but not working their butts, including me. where's our motivation?! teachers' are all getting stressed out instead of us. haiyo. i wonder what is happening to the Singaporean kids nowadays. cheyyy. uhm, k quick update. life = mundane. by right, i shouldn't be seeing this page often anymore. it's time to focus on the books and papers and TYS and booklets and answer sheets and what not. mati la like that. oh, and congrats to my beloved English teacher, Mrs Rupesh on the birth of a baby girl. we love you and please enjoy your maternity. ;)

A Lonely September.

I'm sittin' here all by myself just tryin' to think of something to do. Tryin' to think of something, anything just to keep me from thinking of you. But you know it's not working out 'cause you're all that's on my mind. One thought of you is all it takes to leave the rest of the world behind I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself. that you're not the one for me. But the more I think, the less I believe it and the more I want you here with me. You know the holidays are coming up I don't want to spend them alone.
