Hey gals!
Me again. Okay tomorrow is SYF Central Judging Day for AK and everyone is super excited, right? Except for the part where we have to wake up like so early just to get to school by 6.45. But! Everything we've done will be worth it and I couldn't be more sure of that. I know that we have to go for all the prac sessions with the seniors and help out and sometimes, it just feels like it's not worth it at all.
I mean, we have this mounting pile of homework, GAs to prep for, SAs looming ahead, PTs - more are coming up, trust me -, friends, family, other commitments. Where is the silver lining in the cloud? Sometimes, you just wanna slow down and take a break, but can you imagine if you ponned school for one day, there will be an even bigger pile of hw waiting when you get back and if you wanna fall asleep, you have that deadline you need to meet (once, for my english PT, i stayed up all night and i felt like crying just knowing we might now finish).
Well, that's life in the fast lane, isn't it? They say RGS girls are so busy, that we miss out on the small things in life, that we forget to stop to just stop and look around and enjoy. They say we are so focused on our goals, on balancing everything at that precarious edge, we don't know how to slow down at all. But I'm sure we can prove them wrong. Once, I heard a speech given by Mrs Julie Hoo, and one line stayed in my mind: Enter every battle with heart. Even if you come out not winning, you know you tried, and you loved it.
AK is the same. To tell the truth, I hated it when I first joined. What I would have given to be in any cca BUT angklung. Now, if you were to expel me or disban the whole ensemble, I'd refuse to budge. I love AK, the escape playing gives me from the real, stressful world, the music, the people, everything about it.
The point is, CCA plays a big part in our lifes and we must embrace it wholeheartedly.
OK, since im starting to sound like some pep talk person, I shall just cut it here.
And I'd like to remind us of what we blog about. There's this thing going on about AK seniors and us Sec1s. Gossip and stuff. You know the usual. All I can really say is, some AK seniors are very nice to us. Like, I heard Sabrina saying, I think Sec1s should be allowed to play in SYF, they've just trained as hard. Which I think, may not exactly reflect the views of the entire ensemble on us but nevertheless, one individual's appreciation of the effort we put in is good enough.
So: RGAK-GOOD LUCK FOR SYF, GO FOR THE GOLD WITH HONOURS!!
