dearest sister and i. I love this picture. so SWEET. hehe.. :D
i love this picture too! :) many many reasons why. heh heh heh..hmm..i have never really told anyone how i really feel about being in a band huh. i think everyone just assumed that when you're in a band, 1) you sound good, and 2) you enjoy being in a band.
well..i do enjoy being in a band. but in actual fact, im not that good. or, not good for that matter.
i was just thinking about it on the way to school earlier and i think i can finally put it to words exactly how i feel about band. haha..
to me, band is like an ex-boyfriend. we had lots of good times together and i really enjoyed being with (or in) band. however due to some reasons, we broke up. every now and then i will recall the good times and wish that perhaps we shouldn't have separated. but last semester i decided to give it one last shot. alas...i was not adequate enough. instead of giving me a B or an A, he gave me a C. disappointed, i gave up. but i will still think of the good times i had with (the) band and wonder what it may have been if i went to a different secondary school with a different band instructor.
but whatever la. i think i was not fated to be good. seriously...my primary school instructor was so-so (quite bad la) and my secondary school instructor also so-so (quite bad also). sigh..but lots of factors played in la..Do you know, i joined the band for almost 8 years, i have NEVER played in SYF? so that means that training wasn't very tough and i didnt improve at all. my level of playing became stagnant in sec 3. hmm...but i do like being IN a band. it's really a different feeling playing with a bunch of people. sometimes i do wish things were different..like maybe in sec sch my instructor could have given me a chance to play other instruments instead of the cornet. SIGH....
its over i know..but the trumpet is really made for men..seriously..it just is..being stuck with it was a love/hate thing..i felt i could never improve with it..and it made me feel inferior to men. i have yet to meet a lady who can play the trumpet really well. sigh..but i guess it all boils down to hard work and commitment. i certainly am not committed to the trumpet.
ANYWAY.
