Just got back from the SAJC band concert held at the SAJC Cultural Centre. I must say that this year's performance wasn't as fantastic as last year's though they had more audience participation and the theme was pretty interesting.

Somehow I just hate attending band concerts these days even though the love for music and band is still burning. I suppose it's because these concerts bring me back to the past which I can never forget. The nostalgia I feel just sitting in the audience is overwhelming. Like today when the band played this piece, Chanteys, it nearly brought me to tears because I remember how nice it was to be part of the band and the look on my conductor's face. The joy and the pain that we all went through to perfect pieces and present a good concert at the end of it. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't graduated from secondary school and of course my peers too. So that we can continue to make music togetherand just be merry. I love the clarinet section when MARY was around. We had so much fun. I miss the piggy family where we just conference late into the night and basically bonded. Never mind that we had school or band practice the next day, all we did together was to have fun.

Enough about the past. Time to move on. So today was a pretty long day in school because I had a four hour tutorial. I had fun in multi-cam production playing with all the hand signals, the cameras, lighting and the instantaneous editing stuff. It's fun. Though I think tension will always be present in the TV recording studio becauase we must always be alert and knowing me, at that hour of the day, all I want to do is to SLEEP. And one thing I noticed about myself, I don't look good on camera so maybe I should change the direction that I am heading in. No more broadcast journalism but print?

It is just weird that during tutorial we didn't have any questions and because of that we were released early. Me being so nice, decided to stay and wait with Zheng Ying for her boyfriend to finish class. Of course I did have an ulteral motive too, that was to take the bus with her so that she can tell me where to alight and walk to Potong Pasir MRT station. =p So while waiting we decided to call Randy to wait together with us so that he can entertain us with his nonsense. Hahaha. It was kind of a right thing that we called him because we did have a good laugh. Of course at the end of the day, I didn't manage to take the bus with Zheng Ying because her boyfriend still hadn't finish class by the time I needed to leave for the concert.

I wish that time didn't pass so quickly, I wish I hadn't grown up. I wish that we were still making music together, I wish your passion didn't die. Maybe all I want for you know is to rekindle the passion you have for playing the clarinet and mesmorise me again. Let me feel the nostalgia I use to feel, let me feel your passion once again.
