Welcome to NJC Angklung Ensemble's blog! :)

We are a group of carefree students who have gathered together,
regardless of bawahs, normals, atas, kulintang and percussions
to create music like none other with our conductor, Mr Dzul. :D
Teacher i/cs: Mr Tan Chor Yean, Ms Sun

Hello there people...guess who?
Been wanting to blog here...finally got the chance:) First and foremost, u guys rox..keep up the team spirit and enthusiasm, and of course, the passion.
Passion is the word to bring out the best of anything , be it studies or watever. Passion is addictive, passion is contagious. Show that u are passionate with your peers, and he or she will share the same passion as you. "Behaviour breeds behaviour", if u want to be loved, u have to love... if u want to be respected, u have to respect. Wat goes around comes around.... By now u may be wondering "hey Mr Dzul, wat's Making music (the title of this entry) gotta to do with this?" Haahaa.. i guess i got carried away. Ok where was i....yah, the title of this entry.. making music, I've been with u people for close to 8 months now, we've been doing quite a number of songs..be it originals or not, and u people have been performing to, hmmm, how many performances eh? And ...more performances coming soon!
I dunno how many of you have composed ur own songs...if u have...share it with us, i'd luv to hear them, and we can try it out together...and who knows, if u have enuf originals, the angklung ensemble can even cut its own album.. heee. (been toying at the back of my mind now)
There's nothing more satsifying than playing your own song.
Making music, its not that difficult...if u have the passion, u can do it...and most of u here have musical background, which makes it much more easier! If u dont know where and how to start, let me know, i'm glad to assist... Angklung is angklung, u cant change that...the only way to be different is, to play our own music, and in order to play it, we have to make music...and making music can only be done if u have the passion. Think about it.
And lastly...good luck for your promos and As.
...be passionate with ur studies too... ur grades will return the favour, just like u are passionate with the Angklung Ensemble.
Take care!

ANGKUNG ENSEMBLE ROX =D

you know what....never thought that I would stay in Angklung for 6 years....the first time I got Angklung as my CCA, I was like...what the hack!!!never into music except listening to them.But, as I took over the group, it just grew in me...yup, I learn to love the music, the people and I see potential in building this group of 12 members then.I was offered another CCA on my 2nd yr in NJC but turn it down as I told myself that I have to do something about the group ie to make sure that we are a well respected CCA. I told myself that I want the new members to feel how I felt ie sense of belonging and friendship as I joined the group. Then, though there were only 12 members, they were "tight". Cheerful during practices and enjoy each other company.

Now, as I look back through the years, nothing but happiness stays in my heart. From a discarded group ie not invited for any performance except College Day, you guys are well sought after by the college admin for any performance. They know they can always depend on Angklung and you guys to perform when they need a quality performance urgently.I'm proud to be a part of the groyp and I do hope that you guys are too.

To Mr Zul, thank you for the commitment and passion that you've instill into the group. Never doubted your talent since the first time I saw you perform at WTC with ERA Tari in 1995. To the batch of 2004/2005, you guys are fantastic. It is the efficiency of the excos and the commitment of the members that make us as we are today. To the current exco, many great ones had gone through this path and you are going to embark on the same hardous journey too. I have great confidence in your ability and I suppose mr Zul too.

Pardon me for taking so much space in this blog, but been waiting to pen something down till i receive the invite from Constance. Thanks for the invite constance.

So, to the current members, always remember that everyone matters in Angklung and it is only with solidarity that we can achieve perfection.
( I'm sure you realise this after making mr Zul false start 4 times yesterday!!!)
